UEDA RYOU

---

Name

Ueda Ryou, The Pugnacious Monk
_{Ueda from 上 (ue) meaning "above, top, upper" and 田 (ta) meaning "field, rice paddy", Ryou as in “涼” (ryou), meaning “cool” or “refreshing”}

Age

22

Totem

Monkey

Appearance

A cursory glance at Ryou is enough to know that he is mean and lean, with muscles to spare. He has a well toned musculature and an imposing frame, even if he is of rather average height for men of his age. In staying true to his aesthetic, Ryou prefers covering his body under a layer of what could be considered a facsimile of a monk’s garb: a funky, zig-zag patterned cloth he believes makes him look cool and stylish. Beneath his robes he wears a short pair of pants, and he prefers to walk barefoot.

Ryou carries himself with a gait that is befitting of his totem. He is energetic and bouncy, to a point where some might consider him hyperactive. He likes running, climbing, swimming, and he barely gets tired. Still, while he may not get winded easily, Ryou does have a certain problem with the musky odor all his activity entails, which can get very out of hand if he doesn’t wash himself.

He likes to keep his hair short and his face clean shaven to stave off some of the odor and grime around his head region, in addition preventing any unscrupulous opponents from getting an unfair advantage by tugging on his hair.

Personality

Ryou has been a belligerent boy since his early childhood. He loved picking fights with the other children, regardless of whether or not he could win or lose. While never part of the monastic tradition (as he is a farm boy through and through) Ryou always liked to try and imitate the monks within the nearby temple, in an effort to hone his skills as a devoted pugilist.

Ryou isn’t afraid of challenge or adversity, and always tries to face it head-on (preferably with his fists). Indeed, he is currently travelling for the sole purpose of fighting people, in the hopes that he might gain the knowledge required to be one of the top fighters in the world. While his parents called this a pipe-dream, he saw it as another goal to be achieved (which spurred him to leave home on his 21st birthday). In truth, he doesn’t much like what other people think, and often acts in the manner of a contrarian.

While playing himself up as some mysterious monk, Ryou is anything but. He doesn’t subscribe to any of the spiritualism or self-control of actual monks, on the contrary, he is quite hedonistic: searching for people to fight, eating like a pig, lounging around when he has nothing to do. Still, it does appear that his playing pretend is rather fitting, given that he does have a determined good moral character, not holding grudges or acting in a manner that would be considered mean.

Strengths

Monkey’s Movement: His ability to climb, run, swim, and otherwise move freely is unparalleled. He is able to run a mile in five minutes and can cross a flowing river with relative ease. In fact, one of his favorite pastimes is swinging from the vines of trees, although nowadays they often snap under his weight. What’s more is that Ryou is rarely winded from this kind of activity, and can often go for hours on end with the same amount of vigor and energy as the second he started.

Significant Strength: With a body like his, Ryou is no stranger to using his power to his advantage. He can lift rather heavy objects without much issue. His weapon of choice is a long and hefty metal staff, similar to an aribo, which he uses whenever it is disadvantageous to rely on his fists, and he has no issue waving it around in a fight (rather competently, I might add).

Powerful Pugilism: The skill Ryou values most. He is a brawler first and foremost. He doesn’t subscribe to any style, although he does like to test out moves he might see from practitioners of the martial arts. His most devastating maneuver is his right hook, followed closely by his left side kick and left knee. His moves have been able to knock people out in one fell swoop, although sturdier opponents might be able to stand up one or two times before they finally succumb to Ryou’s barrage of blows.

Weaknesses

A Lack of Forethought: Patience, introspection, strategy: Ryou isn’t too big on them. He likes to rush in, head-first, to face whatever is in his way, often resulting in unneeded injury or otherwise unwanted results. While this kind of behaviour can help him in certain situations, it more often bites him in the ass.

Big Ego: Ryou likes to think of himself as the best, which often creates a divide between him and others. It also causes him to bite off more than he can chew, as being the best must entail being able to do everything (so he thinks). While rather humble in victory, he cannot cope with defeat, often going into a self-destructive spiral of seclusion and gluttony for days at a time.

None Too Bright: It is no secret that Ryou didn’t get much of an education back on the farm, but his intellectual problems stem farther than that. For Ryou, slow on the uptake can be an understatement, which leads many to believe that all the fighting he’s been doing might have caused some problems when it comes to his head. Ryou tries to cope with this setback by not focusing on the complicated and keeping things basic and down-to-earth.

Looking Back - 5 months have passed, what now?

OOOH let me try, @Kratesis!

The nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and slower is it in reaching maturity. Man reaches the maturity of his reasoning and mental faculties scarcely before he is eight-and-twenty; woman when she is eighteen; but hers is reason of very narrow limitations. This is why women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important. It is by virtue of man’s reasoning powers that he does not live in the present only, like the brute, but observes and ponders over the past and future; and from this spring discretion, care, and that anxiety which we so frequently notice in people. The advantages, as well as the disadvantages, that this entails, make woman, in consequence of her weaker reasoning powers, less of a partaker in them. Moreover, she is intellectually short-sighted, for although her intuitive understanding quickly perceives what is near to her, on the other hand her circle of vision is limited and does not embrace anything that is remote; hence everything that is absent or past, or in the future, affects women in a less degree than men. This is why they have greater inclination for extravagance, which sometimes borders on madness. Women in their hearts think that men are intended to earn money so that they may spend it, if possible during their husband’s lifetime, but at any rate after his death.

. . .

Because women in truth exist entirely for the propagation of the race, and their destiny ends here, they live more for the species than for the individual, and in their hearts take the affairs of the species more seriously than those of the individual. This gives to their whole being and character a certain frivolousness, and altogether a certain tendency which is fundamentally different from that of man; and this it is which develops that discord in married life which is so prevalent and almost the normal state.

@Hank

Hmmmmmmmmm, that's a pretty good idea . . .

Looking Back - 5 months have passed, what now?

Yep lets just resign ourselves to a dying medium on a website that gets a fraction of the traffic it once got and lets not try to stir up any trouble because change always leads in bad things. Just let us stagnate into obscurity as iwaku and rpnation gobbles up everyone who ever came onto this site.

Yeh @MelonHead, these boogeymen totally dislike the Guild, that's why they spend their time writing long diatribes and responses to the administration because they just hate the Guild and want to watch it burn (Southern Californian Sarcasm). IDC how much of your life you've wasted on this shitty website; I joined 2011 and I find myself agreeing with alot of the gripes voiced nowadays. You don't need to poison the well and decry everything Odin has posted because you don't agree with some of his opinions.
