Rurouni Kenshin - Stand of the Shinsengumi

I just realized my post could literally be one of Yoshikage Kira’s monologues.

Rurouni Kenshin - Stand of the Shinsengumi

Ryuga was annoyed. He wasn’t annoyed by the fact that he was awake at this time of night. He was used to it, taking lives for a living meant that you don’t really get a choice when you sleep. He wasn’t annoyed by the constant conversation by the conversation, because unlike most of the pampered sons, he actually understood the importance of information. He wasn’t even annoyed by the fact that the shogun was being threatened by a bunch of conspirators, because screw the shogun, what the hell has that bastard has even done for him?

Ryuga was annoyed more for the fact that he was actually getting into combat. He had been a sellsword all of his life, but he didn’t really want to fight. Fighting meant that he was risking his life and he was just living for more than just himself, though if he ever fought, he was confident that he wouldn’t lose. The former Sellsword rubbed his eyes, he may have been used to sleep deprivation, but he wasn’t used to standing around stiffly.

He just wanted to end this so he could just go home and rest. He didn’t really care about the glory of combat as a few would claim, nor he did have the ambition to move up the ranks, he didn’t want that burden of responsibility. He actually prefer to just be settling public disputes over this moment, because for the first time in a while he felt that he had gone back to his sellsword roots.

Ryuga

Name: Ryuga
Nicknames: The Swordsman of the Night Parade
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Rank: Assassin
Specializations: Single sword combat, Brawling, Quick thinking.

Appearance:


Personality: Ryuga is a rather rude and blunt individual, being born and growing up in an improvised environment, caused him to take a more thug like demeanor though more mellowed out than the common street thug. He also has a more negative view of the world, which causes him to take unexpected situations as in stride, as he is absolutely sure that the world is out for him. Though despite his thuggish demeanor and general cynicism, he has a soft side especially towards his adopted family and is able to quickly connect with lower caste members of society. While he tends to follow his own way and only gives lip service to the code of Bushido to get by in the Shinsengumi, he actually respects those who genuinely follows it. As in his eyes people who can follow such strict rules and are still kicking are genuinely impressive for being able to do so.

Biography: Ryuga was not born from a Samurai family, infact he was just a nameless orphan from an improvised area who just so happened to have a talent for the sword, having first picked one up when he was forced to defend himself from a bandit an eventually using it to become a sellsword to survive. He took on many jobs for various people, gaining both fame and infamy as he became known as the Swordsman of the Night Parade.

One day, he was seriously injured after a job that had gone wrong and collapsed on the side of the road, he thought it would be the end of his life, but he was saved by a wandering samurai and the three children that the samurai took in. At first he didn’t really know what to make of it, as he had lived a life of selfish survival, but he knew one thing people were after this wandering samurai, owing the samurai his life he joined them on their journey to protect them.

He never knew what the samurai did to have assassins after him, he never asked, as a sellsword it was common courtesy not to ask about a person’s past or the reasons behind a job. He just kept on following them and fighting along side the samurai to repel his assassins and the group became something he never had before, a family.

However, one day a particularly powerful assassin simply as Yon, was sent after them, who was more than a match for the two of them. The Samurai took a fatal blow for Ryuga and left a brief opening that allowed Ryuga to exploit and take the assassin’s left eye. The assassin retreated after that, having suffered an injury, the assassin decided it wasn’t worth it to risk his life any further.

Ryuga took the children under his care, he decided after that encounter continuing to travel wasn’t safe and bought a small home and hired a caretaker in the city, by collecting a few bounties. He joined the Shinsengumi to continue providing for the children, due to the fact that they valued merit over family names, meaning someone like him who had none, could get in. He also didn’t want to have the children he takes care of to get influenced by his line of work as a sellsword and end up on the wrong side of the law.

Fighting Style: His style doesn’t have an official name, as he has never been trained in an official sword style. Instead his style is an amalgamation of self training, on the spot improvisations, and moves that he copied from watching other swordsmen, making an extremely fluid hybrid style that is described as fighting a person who has been possessed by a hundred demons. It is both versatile and combined with him throwing out kicks, punches, and throwing knives, it makes it unpredictable. However, it’s greatest weakness is in it’s lack of discipline and lack of focus, which leaves it with no real physical strengths or weaknesses as it doesn’t really specialize in any specific technique, making it a jack of all trades style.

Preferred Weapon(s): Katana, Throwing Knives, Iron plated Gentas.

Rurouni Kenshin - Stand of the Shinsengumi

I am not quite sure how well this character would fit, since I watched a few episodes of Samurai Champloo before this making this so I might have made a character better suited for that universe, as well as creating a character that was specifically undisciplined to contrast with the other characters. Meaning I took a few keys from Mugen.

Speaking of which I did watch the first episode of Kenshin, while I can’t say it’s bad, you could definitely feel it’s age.

Kamen Rider: Legacy

@Double Yeah, fun fact Dragon Knight actually did better than Ryuki in Japan.

Plus Gaim did it better.

Kamen Rider: Legacy

@Renny Yeaaah it’s the only one.

*Hits Masked Rider back into the closet with a broomstick.*

THE ONLY ONE.

Rurouni Kenshin - Stand of the Shinsengumi

Alright, I’ll do that at home.

Rurouni Kenshin - Stand of the Shinsengumi

I’ve never read Kenshin, but can I join in regardless? I’m pretty good at rp combat.

Kamen Rider: Legacy

My current idea is actually twins who are a police detective and a phantom thief and riders who are themed after that called Kamen Rider Snatch and Cover.

Kamen Rider: Legacy

@Renny There’s actually a Kamen Rider Savior in Canon.
