Physical Description: Ryu has two forms in which he takes. He takes a form of an Angel, and then can transform into a dragon state.

Dragon State:
In his Dragon State Ryu's body is made up of white and light gray scales so that he blends in with the clouds. He also has a line of hair going down the back center of his neck colored gold. As all dragons have, he has four very powerful reptilian legs each with talons llike a hawk for more power with a slash. Each talon is about the size of a short sword, and each leg about as thick as an oak tree trunk. His wings are like those of a bat, but instead of having hand-like structures at the end of the wing, their are spikes. His tail is about as long as a human mass transport vehicle ((a bus)) with four large spike as the end of it, all colored gray.

Angel State:
I his Angel State Ryu has white skin, and his angel wings have somewhat of a glow to them. He has armor of clad silver with blue orbs in distinguished spots ((top center of helm, center of chest and shoulder armor, knee area of pauldrons, center of hand in gauntlets)) to show his position ((Gate Gaurd)). He has a broad sword strapped to his back which ends a little past his waist. His long blonde hair sometimes escapes the back of the helm which he wares, and his blue eyes shine against the sun. He wares a necklace which his mortal love had given him when they where both on Earth. It was made of a diamond cut in half, his love has the other half. Standing tall at six foot five, and being muscluarly built. He is sometimes intimidating to others.

Personality Description: Ryu is a caring person. He tends to others when off duty, and is very empathetic and sympathetic. He is the kind of person that would "stick up for the little guy". But this blinds him from the truth sometimes. He picks sides too easily and is very stubborn once his side is picked. so in arguments he is very one sided. But, despite that he is intelligent, and strong. He looks intimidating, but he is more of a thought person. He enjoys music and art. Constantly drawing in his down time or when he is by himself. And likes to listen to the music of other Angels.

Special Abilities: Ryu has many Special Abilities:
1)Transformation: this allows Ryu to transform in and out of his dragon state

2)Roar of the Dragon: Stuns all who hear it, usually used for escape purposes

3)Dragon Fire: Used in his Angel Form, Ryu uses this to breathe or throw firew without having to be in his draconic state

4)Summon Dragons: This allows Ryu to summon three small dragons armed with swords and axes ready for battle

Special Defences: Ryu doesn't have Many:

1) Dragon Scales: This allows Ryu to grow scales temporarily to protect his Angel form from intense heat or a strong attack.

2) Magic Shield: Can block some magic attacks, it isn't very powerful though...

Weaknesses: Ryu has some weaknesses. He lacks in defensive magic and abilities so he is very vulnerable to extremely strong magic spells. Also in his Dragon State there is a soft patch of skin in his neck where he can easily be ripped into to get to his vital organs((sometimes he protects it with armor when he goes into major harm))

Weapon: A Long Broad Sword

Quirks: Enjoys being around other people, can play the acoustic guitar pretty well, women have called him a gentlemen.

History: In 2000 BC Ryu was born in what is called by the Humans Central America. There he grew up around the Mayans and Aztecs. He hunted small game when he was a hatchling. But as time flew by and he became almost fully-grown dragon. No knowledge of his parents, no family. He became an angry beast. Constantly burning down Aztec towns and "cities" he quickly became known as Quatzlcoatl. As time went on he continued his attacks. But nothing was solving his anger or confusion. Until he left in about 500 BC. The Aztecs prophicized his return as the end of the world.
Ryu flew to the mediteranean. There he learned of the devolping Greek culture. He learned their ways of thinking and their ways of writing. He adored it, but wished he wouldn't be seen as such a monster. So he used his power to craft a human form. In this he could still learn the ways of the Greeks, and he could be able to switch back and forth between his two forms. Once his human form was created he started to exist among the Greeks, until the Romans came.
When the Romans invaded Greece, Ryu hung back, trying to avoid their army. He learned even more of military by watching the Romans fight. He learned more of engineering from the Romans. And with this new knowledge Ryu began to think of himself. "If I can transform between a himan and a dragon what else can I do?" Ryu quickly discovered some of his other powers. He was astounded. He was super strong and super fast. The Greeks named him "Hercules".
Time continued to take its corse. Ryu disappeared so everyone had claimed that Hercules had joined his father Zues atop mount Olympus. Ryu watched The Passion of Christ, the Fall of Rome, and the beginning of Christianity. During this time he fell in love with a French woman. Her name was Sophia. They were madly in love with each other. and years after the two got married Ryu showed her his true form. She looked in amazement at the dragon before her. But she couldn't bare it. How could she live with people knowing she was married to a beast. She tried to explain that she loved Ryu and that she would do anything for him. But she wouldn't want to be put on trial for the Inquisition, so she left him. Ryu couldn't take the pain anymore so he ended his life on Earth, he killed himself and joined the Kingdom of Heaven, and to await the coming of his one true love to join him in the beauty that is Heaven.
