Name: Ryugetsei Iyokono-Chosokabe
Nicknames: Lord Ryu, Lord Ryuga, Ryu
Age: 137 (Looks between 19 and 23)
Appearance:
Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main]
Rank 3rd Head of the Iyokono-Chosokabe Clan Alliance (Aligned organization with the Yatagarasu)
Love Interest: ??
Personality: The best way to describe him would be 'loose', or 'simplistic'. His power allowed him to overcome the Saint and claim lordship over the Clan, but the fact remains that he is a bit too idiosyncratic to be much of a leader. He prefers sake to strategy, and plays his lute when he should be working on upgrading defenses against the Miyoshi. He unintentionally keeps the clan poor not because he means to, but because his instincts lead him to hoarding treasure in his bed chamber upon which he sleeps as though it were a squishy futon. And when finally coaxed into battle, his commands are often simplistic and disastrous in ways such as marching through a thick mud because he prefers to travel in straight lines towards the enemy. Only his overwhelming strength and the power of his great war fan allow him to overcome these shortcomings, and it is this strength and his jovial, boisterous, and quite friendly nature with his clans members which endears him to them and allows him to get along. And though his loose methods make him seem careless, he actually cares about the members of his clan a great deal. He is not afraid to strike back anywhere his members are bothered...not the least of the reasons behind that being the chance to add more loot to his treasure trove from the conquered foes. ...He also loves ladies, putting it frankly, though he is not renowned as a pervert. His preference would be the particularly strong ones, who aren't afraid to show some spirit.
Bio: In his youth, Ryugetsei was not yet a member of the Iyokono Clan. He can't remember a time when he was young that he had anybody that he could call a friend or his family. It didn't bother him; he had mastered his human form at a young age and was able to blend in as a street vagabond for some time, traveling the island of Shikoku and living on that which he could manage to steal. He snatched purses, food, whatever he could get his hands on...and yet even then, his habit for hoarding the loot that he gathered plagued him. Rather than spending, he was always perpetually impoverished, and while he ate, he didn't eat nearly as much as he should have. He was thin, often hungry, and yet he was generally in good spirits as long as he had his bag of loot to carry back to one of his many personal hideouts. At the age of 6 he (demon reckoning) he pilfered a lute that he began to teach himself to play on nights when he was alone (which was most of them). At the age of 8 (demon reckoning) he acquired a small taste for sake, and this became another habit he never quite kicked. He was alone, but he wasn't unhappy...or at least, he didn't think that he was unhappy. No one had ever taken enough notice of his actions to truly put him in danger, and so he thought that his life was fine as it was...until the day that he picked the wrong pocket at the Age of 10. ...It was a member of the Miyoshi, one of the leaders at the time, and this time his antics did not go unnoticed, nor unpunished. He was hunted by the Miyoshi, chased from one end of Shikoku to the other, and though he had learned some of his techniques by then it wasn't nearly enough. It was only at his wits' end, out of places to run and hide and within days, maybe less of being found by the Miyoshi that he met a kindly old demon that went by the title of 'Saint'. Taking pity on the boy, he invited him into an alliance that he promised would protect him. It was...strange, to rely on someone else. It felt wrong, but he had no other option. And so he accepted...and for the first time learned just how wonderful it could be to have friends to celebrate and drink and play music together with! The only price he had to pay was his mound of loot...which he painfully agreed to part ways with. Thus began his membership in the Iyokono Clan...
...Years passed thereafter, and under the tutelage of the Saint and the other members of the Clan, Ryu began to understand the true nature of his powers better than he ever could have on his own. He trained, and he grew stronger...until in his late adolescence he became one of the chief advisers and soldiers under the Saint for the sake of the Clan. He loved the clan, and he loved the times they had together, but he hated all the planning and thought that went into battle. He was the type who liked either to steal surreptitiously or fight head-on, and nowhere in between. And while the Saint was a quality leader, the Miyoshi were growing in strength...and the Iyokono were growing weaker in spite of their leadership. The spiritualism and the techniques which had guided them into peaceful harmony were losing their charm, and demons that doubted their leader began to break away and flee to the mainland...or even Kyushu and the Taihaku Alliance. Something needed to change, or else they were going to fall...and the whole of Shikoku would come under the control of the sly Miyoshi Clan. ...It is unknown if this was why Ryu made the surprising decision to invoke the Iyokono Clan's traditional right to challenge the leadership in combat, or if there was something else behind it. Everybody knew that of the entire clan, it was likely that the Saint was the one Ryu respected more than anyone. Nonetheless, with the dawn of the new century...the challenge was issued...and the growing influence of Ryugetsei allowed him the support of his clan even after he defeated the leader that everyone had loved and respected so much. ...Though it is possible some still resent him for his victory, the change in leadership reinvigorated the clan's morale, demonstrated a new strength at the top, and his entertaining ways made the clan that much more fun to be a part of...leading many who were in need of entertainment and/or protection to seek out his aid and the aid of the clan.
Though even now, with the clan on the verge of another rise in power or fall into decadence under his leadership, he still will not allow those who support him to speak ill of the fallen Saint. He refers to him respectfully to this day, and holds him in the highest regard...as a great leader, and the most difficult opponent that he has ever faced.

[Demon] Form
Physical Appearance when Transformed
True Demon Form - Unknown (When increasing his strength and tapping into his demonic potential, he usually only partially changes, his fangs growing and slitted dragon eyes forming as he uses his breath attacks. Only the Saint has ever seen his true form.)
Elemental Affinities: (2 Strong, 1 Weak)
Physical: None
Fire: Null
Ice: None
Elec: None
Wind: Null
Water: None
Earth: None
Light: None
Dark: None
Nuclear: Weak
Skills:
1. Fog Breath
2. Fire Amp
3. Ari Dance
4. Instant Recovery
5. Fire Breath
6. Wind Breath
7. Frost Breath
8. Elec Breath
Demonic Abilities:
Unrelenting Force - This intense, non-elemental Dragon Breath shatters a chosen Resistance of an enemy for 5 turns, forcing them back to a distance and hitting for Heavy Damage. May or may not shout 'Fus Ro Dah!' when using this.
Dragonskin - By taking a deep breath and swallowing, Ryuga's body will become sturdier, an almost scaled-look to it that prevents instant-death, immensely increases defense, and restores broken resistances.
Alduin the World Eater - Ryugetsei Iyokono's ultimate attack; by releasing a shout of 'Odavhiing' into the sky he unites the powers of his breath in the clouds, forming a dark and stormy curtain overhead. Then, descending from the sky in-order are four dragons, Fire, Ice, Electricity, and Wind (Red, Blue, Gold, and Green) which unleash a hellish breath of each element (4 Hits Medium Damage, 1 Hit of each element) upon random enemies. Finally, a Black Dragon descends at the center with glowing red eyes...and from its mouth erupts a breath of Almighty power which inflicts Severe Damage to all foes. Afterward, the sky will remain dark and Ryuga will have a slightly increased power as a result. (5 turn recharge)
