Ryūga

Ryūga (リュウガ, "Dragon's Fang" ) is a Mage of the Guild Yggdrasil. Unlike most citizens found in Fiore, Ryūga is the Human embodiment of the Legendary Sage--Sun Wukong (孫悟空, Songokū) granting him higher abilities than that of your everyday person. It is because of this factor, Ryūga's father trained him stictly in Martial Arts until his death, leading Ryūga's mother to train him in the Magical Arts. After his father's death Ryūga remained reclusive until a chance encounter with Severa Jerand, leading to his joining of Yggdrasil and the discovery of a purpose within himself.

Magic and Abilities
Large Magical Power: Ryūga possesses a fairly large capacity for storing Eternano within his body. Despite his unwillingness to engage in a fight unless it is absolutely needed, as he is the embodiment of the Legendary Sage Sun Wukong, Ryūga's Magical Power has the potential to devastate an area of land if it is left unchecked. It is because of this factor that Ryūga has developed the unconscious fear of utilizing any of his Magical abilities, so that he does not hurt those around him, instead relying on the Martial Arts in order to combat his opponents. However, when Sun Wukong takes control of his body Ryūga's Magical Power truly comes through, causing the very Earth to tremble and the winds to dance violently around him and those in the vicinity, although, the effects of this can be felt some distance away.

Martial Arts Prowess
Ryūga's skill in the Martial Arts is something that he holds great pride in as shown by him typically relying on it instead of his actual Magic. His fighting style consists mostly of leg sweeps followed by several different kicks in order to get the opponent off-balance and then debilitate them, but still resemble Capoeira. The kicks used by Ryūga range from body blows to full on take downs and often result in very damaging attacks to the opponent's body. Ryūga's movements are fast and the rotational spinning of his limbs adds power to his strike. These movements allows Ryūga to attack his opponents from different angles and allows for constant motion, never allowing the opponent to locate a weakspot for too long. Ryūga's fighting stance of moving from one foot to the other keeps his center of gravity in one place, allowing him to attack from any spot. This constant bobbing and moving does not allow any points of attack to leak through, but it also keeps his opponent guessing as to where the first strike will come from. The powerful swinging kicks of Capoeira come from multiple angles and can be done while doing handstands, or by jumping in a rotation, with the trick being to disguise the attacks within the dance-like movements. Unlike other martial arts, Capoeria's defensive moves center around evasion. Instead of blocking attacks, Ryūga uses cartwheels, handstands, and constant motion avoid physical blows. This evasive style of defense gives Ryūga an advantage when fighting against a non-martial artist because they he does not have to waste time trying to recover from the block; and he can easily jump back into the fight with a counter-attack at a different angle.
