Ryuu is a kirin-like creature with human intelligence and emotions. While there are many resemblances to his parents, he much more closely resembles a dragon than his family. He is also substantially larger than either of his parents. More subtle characteristics, such as his silvery-colored eyes and green markings, belie his heritage.

His face is less like a deer, more wolfish but certainly still something else entirely. It is furred, unlike the rest of his body which is instead of smooth, scaled skin. A pair of long, prehensile whiskers adorns his snout, which give Ryuu a sixth sense with which to perceive the world. They are sensitive tactile organs, and he can communicate through them telepathically through touch. They are likely the physical conduit with which he can sense other telepathic or magical beings. As he matures, his reddish mane has extended to his face to form a sideburns-like beard, and a gray goatee has sprung from his chin. His ears are large and quite similar to a deer's.

His neck is long and powerful, boasting the strength to carry his large rack of elk-like antlers with ease. The mane that begins at the top of his head extends down his neck all the way to the end and under the tip of his long tail. Both the mane and his scales have an iridescent green sheen. His body is shaped much like a stag, but there is a subtle elongation that matches the long proportions on both ends of his form.

While his most obvious weapon is his antlers, Ryuu has a mouth of sharp teeth similar to those of wolves. His tail primarily serves to keep him balanced, but it is also a useful bludgeoning tool. The extra mass in his neck too gives his antlers extra reach and power, making him quite formidable from all angles. Unbalancing him is nearly impossible, and he has unusually high stamina. One's best defense against him is superb speed and agility, or raw power beyond his own.

Hi there!! Seems like it was

Hi there!! Seems like it was Ryuu whom I met yesterday morning in the forest ^^
My dear's the one wearing Crying Idol mask. He felt very lonely at the moment and was happy to sit by your side a little bit ^^
BTW "Track!" <333

There you are! I was

There you are! I was wondering who that was c:
Zergarikiaka's picture

Saix plops down beside Ryuu,

Saix plops down beside Ryuu, lightly tossing him a sea salt ice cream. "You don't have to talk about it." he states simply, noting well the kirin-deer's state. He did however figure an ice cream like they used to share in the past would help him a little. That or get his mind off things.

It's good to know whom I was

It's good to know whom I was sitting near by too ^w^
Kairime (my deer in that pic) will always welcome your company :33 no matter for what purpose - for dozing together or romping about ^^

Kami: I'll remember that

Kami: I'll remember that <3

Zerg: With a snake-like motion of his whisker, Ryuu caught the ice cream. "Thanks." Though his voice was flat, he really did appreciate Saix's gesture. He bit off a small piece of the ice cream and chewed it listlessly.
Zergarikiaka's picture

"You looked like you needed

"You looked like you needed it. It appears you've had too much weighing on your mind lately. Too many mixed feelings and responsibilities. It's difficult to think of you in such a state." he responds, carefully holding his own between two dark blue hooves. While the nobody couldn't feel a darned thing, he was 'disturbed' that this dragon he knew since the time of birth had become so inwardly tormented. He wouldn't say how close he had been to stepping into matters recently, considering he had already been watching Loki and Skylar for the past few days. In the end, it was all for the better that he had let things play out naturally.
OkamiLugia's picture

Ryuu listened to Saix, not

Ryuu listened to Saix, not eating any more ice cream until he noticed it was beginning to melt onto his whisker. With closed teeth he scraped the whole thing off the stick. He dropped the bare stick to his side.
"I just want to be a good person, Saix. But no matter how hard I try, I still feel like a failure. I don't feel like a good person at all." His voice dropped nearly to a whisper. "I'm afraid I'm going to hurt someone."
Zergarikiaka's picture

The nobody appeared

The nobody appeared thoughtful. If he had one reason to believe Ryuu was some kind of failure, he'd have taken advantage of every opportunity to voice that belief. He quickly finishes his ice cream before similarly abandoning the stick and looking back at Ryuu. "Your efforts go further than you realize." he states plainly, before standing up. Taking momentary advantage of how much larget Ryuu is than himself in an attempt to be about as comforting as a nobody can be, he manages to climb up and lay over Ryuu's back.
"Don't lose persepective of yourself. It is far too easy for the well intending to become the scapegoat. You should not allow anyone to make you believe you are anything less than good. If you are goaded into being the bad guy, though your heart is in the right place, it must not be seen as a fault of your own."
OkamiLugia's picture

Ryuu managed a small, sad

Ryuu managed a small, sad smile as Saix climbed on top of Ryuu. "Thanks, Sai. I hope you're right." He sighed, and the smile faded. "I'm just afraid I'm going to make mistakes I won't be able to repair."

Saix nods slightly before

Saix nods slightly before resting his head over Ryuu's shoulder. "Mistakes are all a part of being alive, Ryuu. Be they irrepairable or otherwise. If none were made, how would we learn how to act in future decisions?" he had to stop himself. He was starting to get into one of his infamously monotoned 'preaching' mindsets. Focusing back on the actual context of the matter, he frowns slightly. "Perhaps you need to step away from the things that trouble you for a while. You have always been wise beyond your years, and it would break my heart to see you get too reckless. If you can permit yourself the break, you might be able to find an alternative way to overcome these problems without causing harm to anyone you so care about." he reasons.
OkamiLugia's picture

"But what if the mistake

"But what if the mistake means I hurt someone?" He stopped and listened to the rest of what Saix had to say. He lay his head on the ground. "Step away? Maybe you're right... I just don't know how I'd go about that. I don't even know where I'd start."
Zergarikiaka's picture

"The first step..." he

"The first step..." he pauses. "Would be to avoid those you fear you may harm physically if pushed. Beyond that, you may want to engage in acting only if your sister or another close to your heart come in need, but not before then at risk of pushing them away unintendingly."
OkamiLugia's picture

Ryuu frowned. "I dunno... I

Ryuu frowned. "I dunno... I feel like everyone's at risk because of me. It's just... If I lost control..." He lifted his head and shook it in frustration.
Zergarikiaka's picture

The nobody closes his eyes

The nobody closes his eyes tight. He knows well what it's like to lose control... after all, that was the nature of the beast, as a berserker. That was also a trait he had very much in common with Ryuu.. and one that he was never too certain about the origin of. Whether it was a mark of genetics or simply a side effect of being so close to a non-existant creature is hard to say.

"Sometimes... it helps to let out all that rage. Provided, before someone becomes a target for it, and where no-one will be an accidental casualty. It can drive you insane if you hold it in too long."
