Appearance -

Ryu is an extremely tall and muscular middle-aged man with long, somewhat disheveled black hair that suits him well. Notably, he has stubble and a mustache that are still growing in. On more casual occasions, he opts for a black samue, a traditional Japanese garment often associated with Buddhist monks and temple workers. This garment is characterized by its simple and functional design. Ryu combines it with a long robe and casual, loose-fitting black trousers with a drawstring waist for easy adjustment. His footwear consists of black sandals. His overall appearance seems somewhat disheveled, possibly influenced by alcohol consumption.

Personality -

Ryu's personality is a mix of indifference, aggression, practicality, determination, and a complex set of motivations driven by his strong feelings against Magas. He displays an indifferent attitude, particularly early in his interactions with Alma, appearing unconcerned with social norms and exhibiting an unconventional approach to teaching. His initial behavior towards Alma is aggressive and provocative, as he encourages confrontations and challenges Alma to overcome her fears and hesitations.

Despite his unorthodox methods, Ryu adopts a practical and goal-oriented approach to training Alma, aiming for him to master his unique Maga blood power and become self-sufficient. Furthermore, Ryu is seen consuming alcohol during training sessions and emphasizes the importance of practical combat experience and mastering the use of Maga blood independently. He also shows himself open to conversations about Alma's condition and the reasons behind his inability to remove the containment stake. Finally, Ryu's past motivations and connections appear to be complex, as indicated by his interactions with Yoki and Dara, suggesting a history related to Tao and Nei that adds depth to his character.

Relationships:

𝙔𝙤𝙠𝙞 𝙆𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙚:
Yoki introduces Ryu as Alma's instructor. He seems to have a connection or prior knowledge of Ryu, as he takes him to the training field and has confidence in Ryu's ability to teach Alma.

Soul:
Ryu is introduced as Alma's instructor by Yoki to help him become stronger, though he was bribed by Yoki with expensive alcoholic beverages. Initially, Ryu displays aggression during training, leading to tension and a fight-to-the-death scenario to help Alma confront his fears and control his unique Maga blood power. Although their interactions begin combatively, Ryu's ultimate goal is to train Alma and help him gain self-confidence so that Alma won't be his enemy in the future when he goes Berserk again.

𝙏𝙖𝙤 𝙎𝙖𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙚:
Ryu recalls a time when Tao intervened to stop Alma, suggesting some interaction with or knowledge of Tao's role in Alma's life.

Nei:
Nei meets Ryu outside the training room and asks about his perspective on Alma being a Mage. Ryu clarifies that Alma's status as a Mage isn't so simple, since he possesses a human mind but can exhibit Mage-like characteristics. Nei also participates in the training with Ryu and Alma.

Skills and Competencies -

Natural Ability:
Combat Skills: Ryu possesses advanced combat skills, demonstrated by his ability to execute a powerful sliding kick that knocked Alma down. He engages in combat with Alma and demonstrates proficiency in various techniques, such as elbow strikes, throws, and powerful kicks. He assumes a fighting stance when preparing for combat, indicating a high level of martial arts knowledge and readiness for battle.

Combat Experience:
Ryu views the training session as an opportunity to gain practical combat experience, indicating that he possesses combat training expertise and can pass that knowledge on to Alma.
Tactics and Strategy: Ryu suggests a fight-to-the-death scenario to help Alma confront her fears and become self-reliant. He encourages Alma to aim for her enemies' heads as a way to incapacitate them.
Training Philosophy: Ryu emphasizes the importance of Alma learning to control her Maga blood power independently, without relying on external restrictions. He encourages Alma to take control of her power and master it.

Passionate -

Ryu Seno wouldn't be the type to realize he's in love right away.

At first, he would just start paying too much attention.

I would notice when that person arrived, when they left, the way they spoke, the slight changes in their mood. And, even without showing absolutely anything, I would always end up knowing where they were.

If someone asked, Ryu would probably answer with a simple:

It's nothing.

And he would continue doing exactly what he was doing.

He wouldn't be particularly affectionate. No grand declarations or exaggerated displays. His affection would show in the details: sticking around for no reason, remembering things the person mentioned weeks ago, subtly helping them and pretending it meant nothing.

Perhaps the most obvious thing was precisely his indifference.

Ryu could spend a few minutes in silence beside her, seemingly bored, while secretly savoring every second of her company.

And what if he finally realized what he was feeling?

It would probably become even quieter.

Because admitting that someone managed to break through that barrier of indifference would be much more difficult than simply continuing to pretend it didn't happen.

Deep down, Ryu didn't need to say that he was in love.

It would have been enough to realize that, among all the people around, she was the only one whose presence he never seemed to find bothersome.
