Ryugen is a massive figure standing seven feet tall with scales of very dark bronze that shimmer like oil in the light. His eyes are a deep, piercing dark green, reflecting a soul that has seen both great tragedy and divine grace. He is clad in intimidating blackened steel full plate armor and carries an impossibly large eight foot sword crafted from black diamond.

Ryugen is a stoic wall of a man, speaking only when the words carry weight or necessity. Beneath his quiet exterior lies a profoundly kind heart that seeks to protect the weak, born from his own experiences of loss. He is fiercely loyal to his companions, viewing them as a surrogate family to replace the brothers in arms he lost.

For ten years, Ryugen lived by the sword as a front line soldier, leading a close knit squad that became his only family. That life ended in fire and acid when a black dragon ambushed his unit in the marshlands. He watched helplessly as his brothers were dissolved by the beast's breath. As the dragon moved in to finish him, a blinding platinum light tore through the clouds. Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, reached out to the dying soldier, infusing Ryugen's broken body with celestial strength. Driven by divine fury, Ryugen rose and used a shard of the earth to strike down the wyrm. Since that day, he has discarded his mundane rank to serve as a champion of the Platinum Dragon. He travels the world to ensure no others have to face the darkness alone, carrying a massive blade of black diamond as a testament to the power of a light that shines even in the deepest shadow.
