Risley

Risley Cryo is a character who specializes in close combat. His normal and charged attacks deal damage to Cryo. Upon activating an elemental skill, Risley enters a Chilling Punishment state, which increases his resistance to interruption. If Risley's HP is high enough at this time, hits with a normal attack will consume HP to increase the damage. When Risley's HP is low, his charged attack is boosted and restores Risley's HP when it hits an opponent. Elemental explosion deals area damage to enemies in front of Cryo

Is one of the seven elements.

The ruler of the fortress of Meropides, awarded the title of Duke, the highest honorary title that can be awarded to a citizen of Fontaine. He tries to stay in the shadows and is equanimous and reliable. "Fortress Manager Meropidas."

If Risley had a business card, this would be all that would be written on it.

Without further ado, we can say that he controls that silent place on the seabed where exiled criminals end up.

The Meropid Fortress is a haven for villains. Despite the inconspicuousness of this place, the conflicts of interest lurking here can lead to disaster.

Unfortunately, everyone who plans to get here disappears without a sound. Like bread crumbs falling into soup.

When someone flatters His Grace the Duke for being such a great problem solver, Risley puts his cup of tea on the table and... takes out a newspaper.

“You have it all wrong. These people need a place with rules of residence. I'm just giving them the peace of mind they need."

Much to the relief of the House of Ordaly , most of the inhabitants of Cour de Fontaine are very law-abiding, and therefore the fortress of Meropides never crosses their path in life. At the same time, another sad, albeit logical, fact is true: those who have served their sentences under water rarely return to a full life in the land world and do not like to talk about their experiences below. So for many Fontaineans, the Meropides fortress is not so much a specific place as a general idea, a warning, a symbol of punishment and misfortune, or even just a curse. Thanks to this, Risley leads a modest life as an unknown person, not at all befitting the holder of a dukedom. And exactly at the very moment when someone says, “If you do something like this again, you’ll go to the Meropid fortress,” or “Damn work, I wish I could turn bolts underwater,” the manager of that same underwater fortress may well be walking nearby along the paved road. to the café to grab some treats for afternoon tea.

In fact, Risley rarely leaves the fortress. Using the network of information and connections created by him personally, he can obtain any information or materials he needs without leaving his office. But he knows very well: if he locks himself in an office with a lot of hassle constantly falling on him, he will either stop sleeping normally at night, or, on the contrary, will fall asleep at the bottom of an eternal sleep. To manage a fortress comfortably, you need two things - pestilence and manpower. Fortunately, the Meropid Fortress is a huge factory, and Risley is excellent at running business. And although the requirements of the Gesion Chamber for documents are very strict, Risley happily fills them out.

In Fontaine, where they pride themselves so much on their impartiality, a title cannot be bought - certainly not at a price. The currency of the Meropid Fortress is premium coupons , and they have been a means of exchange for a long time, only a few details have changed. Long before Risley came here as a prisoner, trading for coupons was much freer, and the range of goods available for purchase was more extensive. If enough coupons were at stake, the goods could include dangerous potions, safe bets, the support of doubtful supporters, and even the human right to breathe. Such transactions, of course, went beyond the law, but with official channels everything was far from simple: if you did not have connections, then you were left to buy food and water in the canteen at exorbitant prices, which means your fate was not decided by some a mythical lot, but daily extracurricular work. In those days, bonus coupons were more a means of control over prisoners for fortress employees. Of course, throwing lawbreakers into the chaos of lawlessness to fend for themselves may seem very reasonable, but Risley was not going to put up with it. He didn't mind adapting to the environment, but not to one that was initially poorly suited for survival. He spent a lot of time to raise the initial capital in illegal fist fights, and then spent it to earn even more. He was observant, eloquent and modest in his manner, and as a result, no one noticed how he soon had more premium coupons in his hands than all the others combined. The wealth he accumulated made him famous among the prisoners. And then what should have been expected happened: in one night the manager of the fortress emptied his account. But, as already mentioned, Risley knew how to convince others. His words had an effect, since everyone understood that with such an approach, a similar fate could await anyone. People were ready to take his side. Because he acted honestly and the situation was extreme, others joined him to fill the void in their hearts.

He has dark hair and a burgundy coat, he wears a short, messy haircut, some insiders point to a chain on his chest, others - no chains in an element of the suit; Sometimes he can be compared to a cat. He has a muscular chest and abs. Risley has scars on his neck

Risley is very perceptive, he has a good understanding of people and excellent communication and management skills. He is cunning, knows how to analyze and draw up a plan of action ahead. Risley treats strangers with caution, but with courtesy, but his aura is overwhelming and most often the interlocutor stutters and is afraid of him. With loved ones, he is much more relaxed, and allows himself more than may seem at first glance. He will never show unnecessary tenderness in front of other people, knowing full well that he should not show softness in order to maintain discipline in prison.

Risley is the Duke of Fontaine, and the governor of the prison. Because the prison is deep underwater, he rarely sees the outside world. He learns the news from his sources and there is no need for him to rise to the surface.
