Appearance
- He looks extremely girly. It doesn't help that he has no issue with dressing like one from time to time, if he has to. Smiles a lot, in a very girly way, unless he gets angry, in which his fangs show. Yes, he has tiny fangs in his mouth, just because. Only when he's really angry is it easy to tell he might not be female.
Personality
- He is a bit on the fruity side. In fruity, it could be said he drinks from the tap before it's mixed, and then after it's mixed, just to compare the fruitiness of the cocktail. He comes across rather carefree and erratic in behavior, trying to enjoy life more than worry about the little things. When it comes down to it, he's as loyal a friend as you'll ever make, and he'll put himself on the line if he has to. He tends to enjoy fighting too much, having what one could call 'bloodlust'. Truth be told though, he's not REALLY homosexual, even if he acts it.
Background
- Born in the Takayanagi family, much was expected of Ryoku from the start, though that was quickly dropped as he grew up. Having loving parents, he grew up in a rather normal environment, for the type of town he lived in. His family was a family of fighters, and he would have to learn to fight and be used to it on a day to day basis. This was normal for a Takayanagi, as they excel in fighting.
- Being taught how to fight from the day he could walk, he had learned the Takayanagi fighting style, with a bit of the Natsume style mixed in. While being good at the styles he learned, he seemed too carefree, and relaxed to take his duties seriously. He carried out everything asked of him, but always seemed to have a mind of his own that was not tied to fulfulling the duties mindlessly. His sibling ended up inheriting the main duty of the Takayanagi family, which is becoming the ultimate soldier.
- He eventually stepped down entirely from his duties and let his brother fill in for him, explaining he doesn't know what he wants in life yet. Becoming a bit of a drifter, he's bounced from job to job, and place to place. He may return to the Takayanagi to continue his duties, but that has yet to be seen.

Special Abilities
- Ryuko is a practitioner of a few martial arts styles, but like his father, he specializes in anti-weapon combat.
- He has a very special ability known as rage, which makes him lose some of his senses when he uses it, at the moment. (He inherited 'rage' from his father.)
- Rage is when he focuses all of his energy, building it up to an almost impossible level, to go on a fighting rampage.
- Uraate
- Translation: "Backing"
- CMX Translation: "Reverse Striking"
- This is a fulcrum-based transference skill; an example of qi transmission that teaches one to shift the point and force of impact by striking the dead center of an object. At expert-levels, a practitioner can transmit the force of impact wherever they please, as long as a medium exists to transmit their power through. This technique forms the basis for most qi-based techniques used.
- Hakka Soudou Sho
- Translation: "Eight Triagrams Double Pulsating Palms"
- CMX Translation: "Eight-Way Fracas Blast"
- A move that uses the palms to transfer momentum from the fighter to opponent in one fierce action, normally yielding incredible force.
- Shin'irikugo Taihotenshi Tsuhaiken
- Translation: "Heart & Mind, Six Harmonies: Giant Phoenix Spreading Wings Over Back Fist"
- CMX Translation: "Heart & Earth, Giant Bird Wings Through Back Fist"
- This Ki-based technique is fundamentally similar to the "Ryukei Qigong Tashinko", but the martial artist transmits their ki through a solid medium (such as a tree, a concrete construct or even a living being) rather than air.
- Hakkasho Jushichishiki Kandoka
- CMX Translation: "Eight Binding Palms, 17th Variation Piercing Bronze Flower"
- A move that can pierce iron with the softness of a flower.
- Shin'irikugo Kongotaiho
- Translation: "Heart & Mind, Six Harmonies: Tempered Diamond Body "
- A secret Chinese martial arts technique that enables the body to become as solid as diamond. It works by instantaneously concentrating the water in one's body to a certain area, since the strongest water pressure can stop even bullets.
- Ryukei Qigong Tashinko
- CMX Translation: "Dragon Qi, Forged Iron Needle"
- This technique is the greatest of secrets within the Takayanagi clan, passed down for generations. It is a technique which uses the fulcrum-based transference skill of Uraate to transmit the user's power through the air. This is achieved by collecting the rotational force of one's motion until it forms unto a needle, forged by their own ki. At that point, that collected atmospheric force would then be directed from the circular motion into a straight line (via punch), where it is sent barreling into the target.
