Description: Wiry frame, dusky hair falling shoulder-length and wide charcoal eyes make up his shadowy appearance. A jacket of russet leather over his torso; he always has a notebook and artists' pencils in his hands.
History: Growing up a military family never really helped Ryo learn discipline, rather he learned that people can be cold and unforgiving. Born into a martial family he has studied Jeet Kun Do* since he could stand, finding it is one of the few things that helps him temper his nerves. Whenever he has free time and isn't in the dojo practicing, he always has his notebook in his hands, attempting to sketch something with the charcoal pencils he carries. He hopes to someday go to art school, although, his fathers enthusiasm doesn't seem to encourage this hope much.
On the other hand, those nights when a fight erupts in his house, he just needs to get out. Having learnt how to sneak out of his room on the second story, he heads off into the nightlife to cool himself off. Recently on his night excursions he's met up with some older gentlemen (yakuza which he hasn't realized yet) who fancy his toughness and attitude, and have taken him out to show him a good time, getting him into places where he normally wouldn't be allowed.
*yes, not a Japanese art, but his parents have taught it to him and they didn't learn it in Japan
