Ryu Haynes

Name (Surname, Forename): Haynes, Ryu (pronounced “rye-oo”)

Gender/Sex: Male

Age: 17

Meister: N/A (Autonomous)

Weapon Form: Similar to that of Giriko, but instead of chains, he uses circular saw blades that are halfway out of his limb.
When he is fully transformed, he takes the form of a large circular saw,

or a circular saw on the end of a staff.
His fighting style is similar to Giriko's as well, relying heavily on kicks and other leg based attacks, but he also uses his Judo training to block with his arms.

Love Interest:

Orientation (Sexual/Romantic): Heterosexual

Appearance:  Ryu Stands at a normal height of 5’8” with a relatively low weight of 145lbs. He has a somewhat slender build that masks his muscle mass. He has blond hair which is about shoulder length, with a pink streak in it. Most of the time, he has a small ponytail off to one side.
He is often seen in either a t-shirt and vest, or a casual button-down shirt (most of the time with jeans). He has deep blue eyes, which are hidden behind his wraparound shades almost all of the time. The outside of his right forearm has a tattoo of gears on it.

Personality: Most of the time, his mannerism and style of speech is very laid back and relaxed. He often jokes around, and enjoys messing with people. He is very intelligent though, which is evidenced by his complex vernacular. However, when he is in combat, his whole demeanor changes. He becomes focused and precise, with very little tolerance for error in his teammates. If he continues to sink into this version of himself, he can become sadistic, enjoying fighting and the damage he inflicts on his opponent. Usually, he can be easily snapped out of this state, but if he stays in it too long, it requires more and more effort to bring him back to his normal self.
He has a strong belief in justice, and will always attempt to do what is just, regardless of what the rules might be.

History: The son of an American Weapon and a Japanese Technician, Ryu Ignatius Haynes was born in the Kyoto region of Japan. His early childhood was spent in Japan, where he studied Kendo and Judo. When he was 13, his family moved to the US, so his father could better manage his company. While in the US he continued to study Judo and Kendo, eventually mastering both. He joined the DWMA at the age of 14 and has continuously attended since. Because of the fact that he is an autonomous weapon, he never really connected with any of the other students. Despite this, he still enjoys talking to the other students.

Soul Count: 48

Miscellaneous:
Abilities:

• Refraction Engine: Ryu's soul contains an ability that allows him to refine and filter out the noise from his wavelength, or the wavelength of his partner. There are several levels of refraction, referred to as "gears", with each being more powerful than the last. This is a very demanding ability however, and overuse without a period of rest can lead to exhaustion.
  
• Autonomy: Ryu does not need a technician to fight. He still can if he chooses to though.
