Appearance (Real Life):

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 175 lbs
Hair Color: Light brown
Eye Color: Hazel
Name: Masuda Ryoichi
Age: 17
History: From the moment he was born, the world didn't have high hopes for Masuda. His parents stuck with dead-end jobs that only paid enough to put food on the table, he was predicted to turn out similarly. Known by many as the "kid with failures for parents," he was bullied often and mercilessly by kids with more influential parents.

It eventually grew to a point where he couldn't contain the negative emotions running through him, and proceeded to physically assault a child at his elementary school one day, hospitalizing him. It resulted in his expulsion from school, and as a result led to his years of homeschooling by the very people who he was ridiculed for being related to. He would learn academics, but in his free time he was preparing for his 13th birthday when he would be given the ability to enter DGO.

He played strategy games and challenged his brain with difficult puzzles, trying to enhance his mind in a way that he felt his schooling couldn't do.

Sure enough, at 13 he received DGO. He could begin his journey down a path different from his parents. He'd master it and succeed as a powerful level 9 combatant.

...Until he realized he had no talent for playing whatsoever. Not only did he not understand how to properly make use of his abilities, he didn't understand the core concepts of fighting at all. He grew so frustrated with failure after failure against other opponents that he ended up quitting.

Around the time that high school came around, he was put back into a classroom setting. With new anger issues and insecurities, he quickly became known as a violent delinquent in school. He went through his years in high school getting average grades, and with no DGO time whatsoever. On his 17th birthday, however, he was once again reminded of his grim fate: a life without hope, with his level 1 avatar who never accomplished anything.

He logged back in and signed up with the Green Rangers, figuring he'd better make the best with what he's got while he still has time. Or at the very least, help out younger aspiring DGO players to be the best they can be.

Personality: On the outside, Masuda appears as a simple delinquent; tough, with no thinking power to speak of, and eager to fight whoever looks at him funny. However, he has a strategic side many never get to see. He can maintain a calm facade in the heat of danger and figure out a battle strategy to make up for his lack of regular combat abilities. He carefully plans and coordinates to ensure his victory comes about with as little damage to him as possible.

In combat in DGO he tries to use his "delinquent" attitude to throw people off his trail, getting them to underestimate him. He tries his best to always pick the best course of action that benefits him and his allies.

He does still have a temper, however, and can be instigated under the right terms or by saying the right things.

Liquid Time (Level 1): Removing the clock mask on Time Engine's face reveals a mechanical right eye that can turn back the time of both the user and whoever meets its direct gaze. Whenever the eye directly looks at someone, it "analyzes" them. For the next minute afterwards, the every action of that person is recorded; even actions that the user doesn't see or know of.

After the person affected by Liquid Time has made all of their actions and it becomes Time Engine's turn again, everything that happened within the minute from Liquid Time's activation to when it ended becomes voided. Any and all damage sustained, any buffs placed, locations moved to, and all abilities used and entered cooldown in that period of time between both Time Engine and the affected person, are all reset to right before Liquid Time's activation; with the exception of Liquid Time, which enters its cooldown at this point. Time is, in essence, reverted to the past for both Time Engine and the affected character.

Time, however, does not fully reverse. It simply reverses for the user and target, including the locations they were originally at. Time is very much still moving in the present, with all other people being unaffected by this time reversal. Time Engine retains his full memory of the events that transpired in the minute "into the future" that he witnessed, while the affected target loses their memory of that minute and doesn't realize that time is repeating for them. For the more perceptive it may feel like deja vu, however.

Liquid Time can be canceled two ways: if either Time Engine dies before the minute is up, or if the eye is damaged enough to break. In terms of durability, the eye has its own HP. Its independent HP is equivalent to 10% of Time Engine's max HP, scaling up with level. If the eye breaks, it takes 3 minutes for it to repair itself. Liquid Time won't start working until someone is seen by it without the mask on.

Only Time Engine and the first person that his eye sees are under the effect of Liquid Time.

Liquid Time's cooldown is 6 minutes.

Other: Behind the clock mask is a metallic skull face, but with the right eye's iris possessing a constantly ticking clock.
