Personality:

Ry is a rebellious, reckless man who never thinks before acting. Some may think him idiotic because of it, or just uncaring towards others, however it is only because of the very simple fact that he is just completely reckless. That, and he completely detests being told of what to do and will do absolutely anything to do the complete opposite.

He also has a one-track mind and would not give up on anything he has his sights on. Whilst he would usually resort to force to reach it if he has to, he is still smart enough to understand when he needs to slow down when needed, though it may take him far longer than the average person to realise this.

However, he is also caring and respectful towards others who do not try to confine him, just as a decent human being would. He is also cheerful and upbeat, just another side to his reckless and outspoken nature. He respects and trusts people he can call friends, those who give him the freedom to do whatever he wants and feels true.

Appearance:

Ry is of an average built, though slightly taller than others due to his western side. His sporty endeavours have granted him a lean, muscular stature, where he also outfits himself with similarly sporty clothes with a black-and-yellow hoodie, track pants, and a pair of sneakers.

Contrary to popular belief, regardless of the mixed features a half-Japanese and half-American guy holds, his natural hair colour is brown. He only bleaches his hair as his father hates it when he does.

FaceClaim: POKEMON • spark • Chibi


Personal History:

Raphael Napraleon was born to two powerful people, his American father was the CEO of an international conglomerate involved in various housing materials, whilst his Japanese mother was the founder's daughter of a company that monopolises the tatami industry. Their relationship and marriage was financially and politically-charged, and though his mother fell in love over time, his father cared very little for his own family.

Raphael was born for a specific reason: to succeed his father in his legacy. At the age of five, his father hired well-known tutors from all over the world for Raphael, ranging from various languages to business strategies, as his father would not have a second-rate heir. Raphael suffered and choked under his restraints, but did not rebel to please his parents.

It was when Raphael turned eleven that everything changed. A journalist caught his mother in a scandalous affair, with pictorial evidence of everything. The pictures went viral internationally, causing uproar in both American and Japan as both his parents were very much well-known considering their positions.

In the face of this, his grandfather resigned from his position within the tatami company, and Raphael's father did not miss the chance to snatch it up and swallowed it into a subsidiary of his conglomerate. His mother, from desperation and depression, walked out of the house one day and was never seen again. As a young boy, Raphael was caught in a whirlwind of hurt and confusion, he didn't understand why. Especially since his mother had so openly loved her husband, he couldn't fathom his mother's betrayal.

When he turned thirteen, his questions were answered. Raphael was going through his father's study for a textbook he accidentally left behind, when he stumbled upon a mess of documents. He didn't understand at first until he looked at them closely. They were receipts and newspaper article drafts, clear communication between his father and a journalist. It ticked in his head: his mother had been set up and his father was behind it, all for the sake of expanding his conglomerate.

In a burst of crying outrage, he confronted his father whilst waving the documents in his face. Yet his father only smiled and snatched the file from him. Blubbering, he threatened to go to the press and tell them everything. His father laughed.

"Why would they ever believe a kid like you?"

From that day on, he changed himself. He skipped classes, bleached his hair, got into trouble with the law, all to rebel against his father. He no longer responded to "Raphael", the name his father gave him, instead choosing to go by the shorter moniker "Ry". When he was able and old enough to, he moved out of his father's home and lived alone, supporting himself by working as a pizza deliveryman. Though of course, his father has never stopped hounding him, regardless of whatever Ry has tried to cut himself off from his family. His father needs his heir, for his legacy to continue.

And since then, Ry has vowed to destroy his father's legacy, whatever it takes. He will see his father crash and burn, to have everything his father loves taken away from him, to have his father broken and desperate.

It will happen, and soon, he will be powerful enough to just make that happen.
