The user holds the dagger at the upper torso and once the opponent comes within striking distance or the user comes within striking distance of the opponent, the dagger glows blue and the user automatically feints and side-steps so that he is directly at the side of the opponent, stabbing once, and doing so again, so that the user is behind the opponent, and stabs again, and etc. until all three strikes have been used. (The user can change direction, back and forth if the user wishes)

The user holds the blade at the hip. Once either his opponent or he moves within striking distance or is already at striking distance, the blade glows red and the user side steps twice to be behind the opponent and stabbing the back of the opponent with one strike.

Positives

CUNNING – Ryuken is smart at what he does and is pretty strategic when it comes to making plans. He knows the most efficient way of doing something and the least likely to incur damage. He’ll also use anything to gain the advantage and will not falter if it requires hitting under the belt or using under-handed techniques

PROTECTIVE – Ryuken hates trolls and will do anything to protect the weaker beings. He feels like everyone should be nice and especially dislikes PKers. He’ll usually come to the aid of someone in distress or someone who needs help. He’d be a typical hero, but with less honor and more “I’m going to get it done” mentality.

TEACHING – He knows how to walk someone along to teach them something and knows how to make it easy to understand. He likes to help others who are struggling and sometimes even give them items if he has extras in order to push people to the next level and allow them to understand how to fight or use the system.

PERSPECTIVE – Ryuken is very good at looking at different perspectives. This allows him to estimate others’ train of though as well as being able to think a few steps ahead of his opponent. He is able to use this to make judgments and to see if what is being said is true and also knows how to be sympathetic if the time calls for it.

LOGICAL – Ryuken also knows how to think through a problem and will not go into things blindly unless there is no choice. He will most certainly think things through, even if it is only for a few seconds, he always weighs his options and looks for the best way to handle a situation.

Negatives

ATTACHED – Ryuken can be attached to things at points where it can get annoying. He may stay on a topic in order to get his point across or to stick to someone or something in order to make sure that his goal is accomplished, whatever that goal is. He is less likely to deviate from his goals, but will do so if convinced to do so.

IMPULSIVE – He can be very impulsive when he gets angry, which may cause trouble for the group that he is leading or for himself. He may act on his instinct, but sometimes his instincts can steer him the wrong way and lead him to a very dangerous situation or dead ends.

INDECISIVE – For trivial things, Ryuken can be indecisive, simply because he feels like things like that don’t need any forethought or afterthought and really has no personal preference to trivialities. He’d usually allow another member to make the decision of trivial things or simply go for the easiest or most efficient thing available.

CRITICAL – While a good teacher, Ryuken can be very critical at times, always telling another person how they can be better and that they shouldn’t be showing off until they’ve proven themselves. He doesn’t like show-offs which is why he is critical about people’s performances, especially when he is better at it than they are.

BROODING – Ryuken can brood over bad decisions and bad outcomes due to his mistakes. He will continue to think of ways that could have changed the outcome and will apply it to future scenarios, but it usually takes days for him to recover.

His parents, both of Japanese descent, named him Ryuken, hoping that he would become a leader and a person who strives to make the best of everything, cutting down a path for those behind him. His namesake, although literally Dragon Sword, he keeps true to it by taking up a lot of leadership roles. He began studying martial arts as an extracurricular activity. He learned various styles. His favorite and most trained is Xiao Lin and Tai Chi.

While in High School, he was a birght student and always worked hard. He aspired to be a Doctor and had graduated from High School to go to a University in the United States. During these years, he studied hard and didn’t do much other than studying, hoping to get into a great University for Medical School.

Since he had just finished University, he decided he’d take a year off. During that year, he had gotten wind from a friend of his about a game called Sword Art Online. He decided he’d give it a try for his year off from school and then decided to take it up with a few friends of his from the States and from Japan.

After realizing that he was going to be stuck in this game, he decided it was time to take the mantle of leadership and he decided to create the guild AEGIS, who he knew people would be willing to join
