Nickname: Ryla
Gender/Pronoun: Trans man, he/him
Height: 5'1.5" and mad about it.
Age: 1,035, though his people aged slower than Earth humans and lived for several centuries, so Ryla actually looks like he’s in his early twenties.
Birthday: September 21, 989
Sign: Virgo
Gemstone: Sapphire
Blood Type: AB+, not that he knows what any of those letters mean
Fav. Food: Sweets. Sweet things weren’t common in the cuisine of his world, so he always loved trying them when he was on other planets, and now he has discovered doughnuts and don’t talk to him he’s going to consume an entire dozen thank you.
Hated Food: ….Much to the dismay of everyone around him, Ryla doesn’t even hate some non-foods that he has put in his mouth.
Occupation: Mmmm he’ll get back to you on that.
Hobbies:
Music || One of the very short list of people Ryla genuinely trusted was a cousin raised on another planet who was very musically inclined. From him, Ryla developed a love of music and especially singing, one thing that still endures through the centuries. He doesn't do it often, and usually only when he's alone, but Ryla does still love to sing and listen to music, and so he'll absolutely find a quiet space where he can do so.
Martial Arts || As a connoisseur of violence, one of Ryla’s greatest joys has always been learning new and unique styles of martial arts. Any planet he spent significant time on, he always took the chance to find someone who could teach him the planet's martial arts styles, be they armed, unarmed, or anything in between. Earth is just the latest world whose fighting skills he desperately wants to learn.
History || Pyrrhan history was mostly written in blood and dust, and often rewritten to serve the interests of whoever was nominally in charge at the time. Ryla found this distasteful; the inability to find straight answers about his people's and his world's past infuriated and frustrated him. Still, he dig into it, and also enjoyed digging into the histories of worlds he visited and spent time on. It's still something he finds fascinating and cares deeply about, and he's thoroughly interested in learning all he can about the history of Earth and her peoples.
Movies || These moving pictures are new and fascinating to Rylafein, and he absolutely loves them. Particularly, he likes heist movies, crime dramas, and has a special appreciation of the genre he understands is called “film noir,” but he’ll watch basically anything as long as it can hold his attention. It's a great way to pass the time, and he's interested in the theory behind how movies are made as well.
Virtues:
Loyal || Ryla is ride or die. His people are his people, and he will kill and die for them without hesitation. He would never turn on a friend, and will carry out promises made to them to the absolute best of his ability. He had so few people that he could trust for so much of his life that he came to value loyalty and friendship extremely highly--and so he gives his absolute best in the hopes that he'll get similar in return.
Ambitious || Ryla wants, and he's happy to go after it. He's absolutely willing to put in the work and time to get ahead, and to get what he needs, and he will chase his ambitions with ferocity and focus. The only thing in his life that was ever handed to him was his role as a Senshi, and even that, Ryla had to fight to prove he was worthy of--so if he has to fight to prove his worth in new ways, in this new world? He's well and prepared.
Calculating || Though most wouldn't guess on first impression, Ryla is actually quite a planner. He's thoughtful and charming, and knows how to evaluate a situation and the people in it and set up the best way to approach things to get what he and his people need. Be it a battle, a heist, or a trip to the supermarket, Ryla prefers to have a plan in p[lace before he goes in, given the option.
Flaws:
Unhinged || Look. Look. Rylafein grew up in a culture that prized power and strength and violence. Ryla has spent a thousand years fighting his own people, and then fighting he environment, all while carrying the weight that he is responsible. His temper is short, he's quick to resort to violence, and he will absolutely bite people if sufficiently pressed. While he tries to bury it under charm and confidence, it slips out far, far more easily than Ryla would like.
Ambitious || This is also Ryla's great folly. His ambition regularly gets the better of him, and while it's not always as catastrophic as the events that led to the fall of his world, he does have a habit of getting himself in way too deep on things and not really having an exit strategy because he really does believe he can succeed in whatever he aims at.
Reckless || Ryla is clever, a good planner, so on and so forth, but no plan survives contact with the enemy and when things go off script, Ryla is willing and eager to do reckless, dangerous things to accomplish whatever goal is in front of him. His personal safety is at best an afterthought, and often isn't even a consideration on the table, not as long as his goals get met.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Red
Hair: Lavender with teal accents, usually worn in a bun with braid, nearly waist-lengtrh when he lets it down
Face: Round
Skin Tone: Blue naturally, dark brown in glamor
Body Type: Lean and muscular
Clothes: Ryla has discovered egirl fashion and he loves it. It makes him look cute.

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Nihility’s Whisper!
Pyrrhus speaks the name of his attack, and all color and ambient sound bleeds out of a ten-foot area around him, creating a zone of nihility. Within the area, all active magic is paused, and new magic of first stage level cannot be cast. Second stage or higher magic may have the sensation of feeling harder or more draining to cast, leaving those who try with a sense that there is only nothingness where their magic should be. This has a moderate effect on second stage magic, a slight effect on third stage magic, and no effect on fourth stage magic. When the magic ends, any paused magic that had been cast will resume again. This effect lasts for 25 seconds, and Pyrrhus can cast this spell three times per battle.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Nihility’s Breath!
Pyrrhus speaks the name of his attack, and all color and ambient sound bleeds out of a twelve-foot area around him, creating a zone of nihility. Within the area, all active magic is paused, and new magic of first or second stage level cannot be cast. Third stage or higher magic may have the sensation of feeling harder or more draining to cast, leaving those who try with a sense that there is only nothingness where their magic should be. This has a moderate effect on third stage magic, but still cannot effect fourth stage magic. When the magic ends, any paused magic that had been cast will resume again. This effect lasts for 30 seconds, and Pyrrhus can cast this spell twice per battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Nihility’s End!
Pyrrhus speaks the name of his attack, and makes a sweeping gesture with one hand. Enemies in a 20ft radius are pulled into a vision of a zone of nihility, devoid of color, sound, and sensation—a plane of total nothingness, with the only thing visible besides themself being a looming black hole visible in the far, far distance. They are overcome by a crushing sense that nothing matters, death and decay are inevitable, and nothing can change the hopeless fate of themselves or the world. Being physically attacked will jolt them out of the illusion, but the emotional effects will remain. This attack lasts for 45 seconds, and Pyrrhus can cast it once per battle.
Deep Space Senshi:
Physical Features: Skin tones in varying shades of blue, purple, or green, usually dark but on very rare occasion extremely pale; elf ears; Pyrrhans are also somewhat sensitive to sunlight as a result of having lived on a planet of eternal darkness.
Powered Passive: Nihility's Edge - When Pyrrhus lingers in an area, color seems to slowly drain out of it--starting closer to him and slowly spreading to about a ten foot radius if he stays in one spot for at least five minutes. The only color visible within the radius is Pyrrhus and any other powered individuals; civilians will seem grayscale like everything else.

The world of Pyrrhus was violent, brutal, and bloody. They might have called themselves a warrior culture, once, but those days were long gone; in truth, Pyrrhus was a culture of violence without honor or care. The strong were king, and the weak were dead. Pyrrhus was cast in eternal night, a benefit for its sunlight-sensitive citizens, and though its wildlife and environments were strange and often hostile, its stubborn, combative people thrived.

However, Greyna was favored for a particular quirk of her biology—she was born with extremely pale skin, a rarity among Pyrrhans, and one that made her stand out. This condition was believed to be a blessing from the gods, and since the chief god of the Pyrrhan pantheon, Bhael, Lord of Murder, was considered to spiritually be the father of the Senshi, this blessing made her seem the obvious choice. It was thus something of a shock to her when Rylafein was the one determined to have the Senshi starseed.
From that moment on, the cousins were at odds—Greyna convinced that Rylafein had somehow stolen her birthright, Ryla honestly just trying to exist. He made a name for himself as a mercenary and an assassin, ever having to keep one step ahead of Greyna’s attempts on his life, and during that time, he met the man who would become his husband. A fellow Senshi from another world, Ryla fell for him hard and fast, and the two found that they made for a capable duo. They, along with a mutual close friend and the sometimes-reluctant participation of another of Ryla’s cousins, made for an extremely effective crew of adventurers-of-sorts.
Eventually, Rylafein and his partner set their eyes on a powerful prize—an ancient relic said to be tainted by Chaos. They were convinced that they could control it, mold it to their will, and use ti to make themselves powerful.
They were wrong.
While the heist was successful and they returned with the artifact to Pyrrhus, their attempts to master it were not. They succeeded in breaking the magical seal on the artifact, but it resulted in the shattering of the artifact itself, and a massive explosion that killed Rylafein’s beloved and left him nearly dead himself. He was able to take shelter and recover, but in the time he hid away, the Chaos festered.
On the day it fully took hold of Pyrrhus, the sun rose over the asteroid for the first time in millennia.
The nocturnally-adapted life of the planet was not prepared for sudden, bright day. Many people and some of the smarter animals fled underground, into Pyrrhus’s extensive network of underground caves, while the surface roasted under the new sunlight.
Once they were underground, though, the people found strange monsters—manifestations of the Chaos—hunting them in the dark. These monsters fed indiscriminately, and pushed a people already desperate to their brink.
And then, Greyna discovered and revealed Ryla’s role in unleashing the Chaos on their world.
In an instant, the people turned on their Senshi, and he was forced to kill Greyna and flee deeper into the caves. He spent the centuries a hunted man, dodging monsters and his own people alike—but finding that over the years, the hunts dwindled, until at last, he was left alone in the dark with only Chaos for company.
That was, until a light from beyond the cosmos shone, guiding him to Earth.

Imnolu, cousin. The only family Ryla is willing to claim, at this point.
