Description

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."



Name: Ryuu Sato
Gender: Male
Age: Young Adult
Birthday: June 10th
Voice Reference: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka; Kirito from SAO

Species: Dog
Breed: English Cocker Spaniel
Height: 18 inches
Weight: 35 lbs
Short Description: A golden spaniel with spikey fur that is thickest around the neck and the top of his head with his ears, has a naturally short tail, eyes blue like the ocean, and visible fangs. He also has a streak of white among his bangs and barely visible white spots on his back along the darker spottings.

Personality: [Caring, Reliable, Modest, Social, Honest, Naive, Stubborn, Slow]
Ryuu has a caring and kind nature, always ready to help others (strangers or friends) when they need an extra paw and has a tendency to put their well-being before his own which at times may put him in a tight spot such as being low on food if he finds someone starving and in need. Not that he would mind being hungry for a day. He tries to stay positive and look at the brighter things in life appreciating everything he has learned and being grateful to still be alive. Ryuu enjoys events and festivities very much and they tend to bring a big smile upon his face seeing many others enjoying their time, dressing up, being silly together, and sharing stories. He enjoys the company of others and having a good time as well as learning new things from those that he meets. 
He is honest although he may not openly express dislikes for certain gifts to avoid hurting the feelings of someone who only meant well and he does appreciate the thought even if he dislikes the gift very much. Despite not being very rich, he tends to gift fish to others that he feels would appreciate to have the extra food as it warms his heart when he gives things to others and see that they are happy. He would be more than happy to trade goods among the districts for whatever food they come by or grow and strengthen the bond among the community. Despite having lived a rough life he is too trusting of others and can easily be fooled. He also has a stubborn side especially when it comes to catching fish as he does not like to return home with empty paws - once he sets his mind on something he becomes difficult to be swayed. Ryuu is not the most clever and at times can be slow to catch onto things, especially when it comes to romance as he is not actively searching for a partner. 



House Tier/Level: 1
House Description: The house only consists of one room and the bare necessities, just enough for your character to get by comfortably. Everyone starts with this house.
Ryuu lives in a small log house at the waters edge that has a roofed porch that sits above the water and a simple boat that he uses to go out and catch fish in. There are a few coolers stacked on one side of the house and on the other side are some herbs in pots that he grows. A window that he likes to keep open has a small pot of blue hydrangea. Outside in his small bit of yard he has his cooking pot over and open fire since he cannot afford to have a kitchen in his home just yet with so little space until he can expand. As well as in his yard he has drying racks to preserve the fish that he has no room to store in his coolers or freezer.
Within his home he has a mini fridge and mini freezer though to store his fish he mostly relies on his coolers, filling them with ice to keep the fish chilled. He sleeps on a mattress on the floor with many pillows, has a low table to eat his meals on, a small tv, and a small bathroom.
Island District: Seaside

Occupation:
 Fisherman
Favorite Season: Summer
Favorite Food: BBQ Ribs

Contests/Festivals won: n/a 

Belief in the Goddess Mother? - Strong
Ryuu strongly believes in the Goddess Mother and that the islands given to them should be treated with respect and care. He has heard that all of the islands except for one have become shrouded in mist and can no longer be inhabited, whether or not it was true that the Goddess Mother had taken back her islands, if the islands could not be respected then the inhabitants did not deserve to continue to live on them. One should learn to not take the good things in life for granted. 

Family: n/a
Mate[s]: n/a
Offspring: n/a

Background: 
Ryuu comes from a poor family who had taught him to never take things for granted and to appreciate the smallest of things. He had been born the only pup and was frail, often he would get sick even throughout his juvenile years with his mother needing to care for him when not busy with her herbs while her mate focused on keeping the family fed as a fisherman. Because of how sickly Ryuu was, his mother learned to grow herbs to help treat his fevers and ease his pains some. During his juvenile years he had learned from his mother how to make use of their herbs such as making poultices, tea, spices, and other things, so that he could come to learn how to take care of himself (as well as others if needed).

Steadily over the years Ryuu's immune system grew stronger and now that he was healthier and had more energy, he would help his fisherman father and their bond strengthened now that Ryuu wasn't always sick in bed and they could actually bond together as father and son. They would sell their fish to merchants or trade them among others in their town for other foods. Life as a fisherman did not make them rich, but they were able to get by and it was nice to be able to trade their fish for other yummy goods - eating fish nearly every day wasn't exciting even with spices. 

As a young adult, Ryuu heard rumors of the Pawprint Islands and soon its stories of how those who inhabited the islands lost all, but one to their Goddess Mother because of their foolishness. They stopped caring for their environment and took the islands and their safe life for granted, now only one island remained while the others were shrouded and lost in the mists. Upon hearing that some canines remained living on the islands trying to appease their goddess and change their ways, Ryuu felt the urge to travel there to teach others how to respect and care for the environment while helping to restore the islands that had been lost to their former glory. After hearing these upsetting stories, Ryuu was glad that he had been born poor and for his experiences, for he seemed to have more wisdom than those who live life easy and without worry.

With a heavy heart Ryuu bid his parents farewell as he would begin to take his life into his own paws now and help guide others. Although he would dearly miss his parents, their lives would be a little easier with one less mouth to feed and worry about, and for all they had done for him he vowed to repay them by sending them money and goods once he settled down and put his fishing skills to the test.


Gift Likes and Dislikes
["Oh my, what a pleasant surprise! Thank you!" *eyes sparkle*]
Best Gifts - Food (The way to a mans heart is through his stomach! Desserts/cookies and anything chocolate are even better!), anything he could use as a fisherman, candles (its nice to smell things other than fish), accessories for the neck or ankles, butterfly koi fish to keep as pets or tropical freshwater fish.

["Thank you for this gift!" *smiles warmly*]
Good Gifts - Flowers (preferably in pots so that he can keep them alive, but if not he doesn't mind all that much), flower crown (he's not embarrassed to wear them if someone actually wants to give him one. He doesn't necessarily want them, but he doesn't mind them.), origami, small trinkets/charms, crystals, clothes (he doesn't usually wear clothes and because of this he doesn't really have any, so during events it would be nice to have more choices of what to wear. Just not ugly christmas sweaters), animal fur (as long as the animal wasn't killed soley for its fur, but rather for food or in self-defense), recipe books, hand-made gifts, cleaning supplies/body soap/shampoo (its good to have himself or his home smelling nice and not like fish).

["Err, thank you~" *smiles politely*]
Disliked Gifts - Weapons (he won't deny that weapons can be cool, but he has no use for them), wind chimes, novels, hats.

["You're too kind~ ...." *fakes a smile*]
Hated Gifts - Literal garbage, ugly christmas sweaters, candy or any food with bugs in it, exercise gear, anything re-gifted, socks, shoes, pets (he will not accept anything other than butterfly koi fish or tropical freshwater fish), money (he doesn't like to take others' earnings), animal heads (wall trophies, they are disturbing to have around the house).


Relationships - [Affection is marked by , 5 hearts are max affection for the character. Disliking is marked by , 5 of those is max dislike/hatred, if the character is developing romantic feelings you will put certain colored bullets depending on how strong those feelings are being:  [least]  [midway],  [almost], and finally  [fully in love]

Diary and Pages: [All in chronological order please! Also mark what each Page is such as if it was a roleplay, a piece of artwork, a festival, an event, a short story, etc, please!

G00myBear In reply to warpugs [2018-03-27 19:04:10 +0000 UTC]

Yaass <3 Ryuu won't preach about the goddess to those who are uninterested so Mack won't have to worry about being annoyed by that xD 
I'd love for them to meet though if you don't mind my replies may be a little slow as I have a little too many rps going on atm. xD;

That's fine! I know we needed to RP Ammo and Ghost too, so just let me know on that one. Where do you prefer to RP?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

G00myBear In reply to warpugs [2018-03-28 06:58:02 +0000 UTC]

Right, I need to figure out with Insanity how exactly Nova is departing (whether with Woodsly or if Ghost is taking her all the way to Nome or what) and then I'll be ready for that rp. So once we figure that out I'll toss a note your way to let you know that I am ready!
I prefer to rp through notes, but I'm also up for google doc or a private rp room in discord if you would prefer either of those to notes.

Thank you <33 We are capping at 30 members, though it's not first come first served. I was especially tempted because the island setting reminds me of home. ;w; And I'm just a sucker for islands and tropical things... xD
Would be awesome to have you!
