Personality: Ridge is a stoic, calm and serious male that is mature for his young age. Ridge typically has a cold nature, not usually prone to getting too worked up about anything. As a result of his serious demeanor, he can be quite straightforward and direct. He is irritable and confident in his abilities and shown to be analytical, though also acknowledges his lack of speed and the need to hone his skills further. Despite this, Ridge remains calm and tactical during missions and fights with precision and coordination. Ridge’s confidence in his skills often comes off as arrogance, but is later modest about his abilities. He has such dedication to whatever he does, he is annoyed at those who do not take things seriously, especially when it comes to becoming protectors against the Grimm. Even though he comes off as distant, he’s not completely devoid of emotion and seems to be able to express happiness very rarely; most notably, during violent situations. After warming up to people, he places a great deal of trust in his friends and confides in them when he feels the need without abandoning his usual strict attitude. Despite always keeping to himself, Ridge is actually emotional especially towards his team, often showing signs of enjoyment whenever they’re together.
Weapon Name: El Dueño
Weapon Description: El Dueño is a single edged blade that can take on three different forms. The first form is a single edged buster sword with a mechanism above the hand guard to install a cartridge of dust or to transform the blade. The top half of the blade can be restricted into its base, forming a more compact portable mode. The hilt contains a mechanism that serves to extend, curve and retract the blade. By pushing a button on the handle; Ridge can transform the Dueño into its second form. When the button is pushed, the mechanism activates splitting the middle of the sword. The middle of the blade and half of the handle splits and moves to the end of the handle. The second form is a double bladed sword. The double bladed sword is primarily used against groups of enemies as it is used to hit groups all at once. This form is used for faster attacks, but the strength of the attacks decreases. The third and final form of the Dueño takes the form of a Fuma Shuriken. The final form is activated by the same button that activates the double bladed sword. The two swords split into four blades, turning the two blades in 90 degrees and the mechanism transforms the handle into a circular shape to complete the transformation. The shuriken is used as a projectile to be thrown at the opponent for lethal attacks. It can also be used as a melee weapon by spinning the shuriken to slash or stab opponents.

Special Skills/ Semblance: Ridge is the best out of his team to use aura offensively. He is shown to be able to send a shockwave of force through Grimm's body causing it to explode. Ridge’s semblance is called Oscillation. This allows Ridge to create, shape and manipulate the forces of attraction and repulsion. By focusing his attraction, he can use his gravitational forces to pull objects towards him. The area of effect can be localized, so it is possible to selectively attract a target or targets without affecting the object or the structure they're connected to. It is also possible to attract multiple targets at once, causing them to collide with each other. At its standard strength, opponents can resist the attraction by securing themselves to the ground deeply enough or to hang onto a strong foundation to counter attraction. By focusing his repulsion, he can repel objects within his range. Ridge can narrow the repulsion's direction, only pushing away things on certain sides so that nearby allies will be unaffected. This repulsion force is most commonly created around Ridge as a defense, repelling nearby opponents or incoming attacks; it can also be used to disperse attacks that have already struck. Alternatively, the repulsion force can be created away from the user, destroying whatever is at the designated location. At its standard strength, opponents can resist the repulsion by securing themselves to the ground: digging in deeply enough to counter repulsion, or grouping together to minimize the repulsive force's influence. The distance, size and precision of the attraction or repulsion depends on Ridge’s strength and aura level. However, Ridge cannot use his semblance in rapid succession or on heavier objects otherwise it starts to take a toll. For example, Ridge cannot use his semblance on heavier objects if he is almost out of aura.

Trivia:
Ridge is inspired by the Belizean folklore, Tata Duende.
Dueño is Spanish for owner or possessor.
Ridge is a boy's name of English origin which is a long narrow hilltop, mountain range or watershed.
Bosquez is a Spanish surname that means forest.
Dueño is inspired by the buster sword wielded by Cloud Strife in Final Fantasy.
