Ryan Chartreuse

Appearance
Ryan is a tall guy with light blond, wavy shoulder-length hair in a ponytail. He has jungle green eyes and pale, freckled skin.

His outfit consists of a white shirt, white pants (tucked in his boots), a dark green sash around his waist, a brown hip pouch/sword holder and black boots. He wears a light green cravat in his neck. Over this, he wears a pistachio/green/vermilion/white long coat with gold trimmings, and a viridian hip-length royal cape. He wears black gloves too, matching his boots.

Personality
Ryan lived most of his childhood and teenhood sheltered in a castle so he's shy, quiet and isn't good at socializing; however, he's gentle and well-mannered. In his first year at Beacon he had issues when talking to people because he didn't know how to act like a "normal" person but like a prince (he acted way too formal, asked people to do stuff for him frequently, etc.), but now at his second year he improved (however, he's still introverted). His height, attire, quiet behavior and power make him look like an intimidating person to some strangers; opposite to this, he's sweet and cares a lot about his friends and family and doesn't like to fight with most of people. He has good control over his emotions but sadness is devastating for him and can make him go mad and show the worst side of him (he can get really mean). Even if he is in a good physical shape he's self-conscious about his body and doesn't like to show it off. Also, he's a wise and strong-willed person.

He likes plants and flowers and knows a lot about them (and keeps a lot of them as well; he even brought his favorite ones to Beacon), but hides this interest from strangers.

History
Ryan comes from a tiny, isolated and unknown for many people but rich kingdom/microstate called Stela. His father, the king Roy Chartreuse, got killed by a King Taijitu in his presence when he was just 7 years old while they were travelling through the forest, and his mother, Queen Esther, took his charge. Ryan's the successor to the crown. Because of his father's sudden and strange death (since he was a skilled Hunter), Ryan was home-schooled to be a good fighter so he could defend himself, but over the years he showed his wish to take revenge of his father's death so he could finally overcome his trauma and bring peace to his family. His mother refused his decision at first since she was scared of him ending up with the same fate as her husband, but Ryan was very insistent and she finally let him to become a Huntsman. He got quickly enrolled into Beacon because of his social status and skills.

Weapon
Ryan has a Dust-powered revolving épée (DPRE) called Paristhorn. It has 4 modes:


 *  Red:  In épée mode turns the blade on fire; in revolver mode it works as a flamethrower.


 *  Yellow:  In épée mode the blade is charged with electricity and can paralize or even electrocute; in revolver mode it shoots rays (thunder).


 *  Light Blue:  In épée mode the blade gets icy, in revolver mode it shoots freezing rays.


 *  White:  In épée mode it makes stronger the impact that the blade can cause (this is the default mood), in revolver mode it's able to make "air steps" (is useful to make big jumps if pointed to the ground when shooting).

For activating a mood, the bell guard is spinned. Ryan tends to use his weapon more as an épée than as a revolver since in that mode it wastes more Dust/it's slightly weaker. Its name comes from Paris Green, a deadly green pigment that was widely used in the 1800's, and "thorn", refering to The Little Prince's rose.

Abilities
He's probably the most versatile member of the team since he has great control over Dust with his weapon, and has relatively good control over his aura (compared to his teammates) as well; also, he's physically strong. He uses his aura mainly for defense and its color is chartreuse; all the members of his family have this aura color, it's hereditary. His Semblance is Dust resistance/immunity; he doesn't get hurt unless it's a powerful attack.

Weakness-wise, he's one of the slowest of his team (however, he isn't slow when attacking; he is when moving to one place to another), and has risk of getting defenseless if he runs out of Dust. Also, his height and weight can work against him in some situations, and doesn't have a completely reliable defense.

Relationships

 * Bruno Erraunt: Has neutral feelings towards him; Ryan thinks he's funny but he doesn't talk to him too much since Bruno isn't the best listener. Bruno insists in treating Ryan as "his Majesty" or "his Highness" since he's old-fashioned, but Ryan always tells Bruno to call him by just his name.


 * Della Azure: Ryan has a OK relationship with her; he likes her carefree, relaxed attitude, and Della enjoys giving him hugs. He tries to push Della to stop being so lazy but it doesn't seem to work.


 * Grizel Svane: Has a good relationship with her since both are more quiet and serious than Bruno and Della. They're partners too and work well together (to the point that there are times that Grizel just wants to work with Ryan and nobody else). Ryan looks at her as a role model (since Grizel is the strongest of his team and has a cool, assertive personality) and has a crush on her, but he's too shy to tell her.


 * Tianee Musk: TBA
