Rock the dragon . . . ?

... And now, a hideously long summary. In other words, the answer to the question "What the hell do you keep talking about dragons for, moron?" version 2.0

More than you ever wanted to know about how and why Ryomou has a dragon. Sometimes known as volumes nine and ten. Alternatively, how this became this.

To start; there are three Dragons of the Haou, as is so eloquently brought up oh everywhere. Only the three leaders (Sousou Moutoku, Ryuubi Gentoku, and Sonsaku Hakufu) are capable of being leaders because they have dragons.

Well, Ryomou has one too. Which is a first for toushi! But let's back up and say why.

Back when she was a middle school D-rank, Ryomou ended up fighting Ryuubi when her dragon first awakened. Ryuubi's dragon is self-loathing and is a lot psychopathic --- it rips her apart, and I do mean that literally. It starts pulling out her internal organs and clawing her flesh just to satisfy its needs.

Rather than watch it kill her, Ryomou pins Ryuubi to try and keep her alive. As noble an effort as this is, there is one thing everyone should know about these three dragons --- they will seek new hosts when theirs dies. So it starts entering Ryomou, concentrating on her left eye. She has to let go of Ryuubi after it possesses her eye because it feels like her body is being shredded. O-Ow. But they both live and for some reason, Ryomou can now coexist with her dragon, although her left eye now belongs to the dragon. It's unheard of, but there you go.

And so ends the "How" and "Why" portion of our programme! Now hear what this means for you.

Like all dragons, Ryomou's is out for blood. If she loses that eye patch, run. That's all that keeps her from raping everyone in sight. All of her normal abilities, which are pretty goddamn fabulous, are made better by the influence of the dragon. She... even rips off someone's arm when it wakes for the first time, so. Yeah. When it's ascendant, she just goes from one person to the next, ripping and destroying.

It's not a nice dragon, folks.

Oh, and about the eye patch? It's not just there for the lulz. It's actually a seal made by Master Choushou to keep the dragon locked up and asleep. Ryomou losing this or having it destroyed makes for a risky situation; there's almost no stopping a rampaging dragon unless you can, as Hakufu said, knock them the fuck out or call to them emotionally.

Can you fight her like that? Oh, sure. But you're in for a world of pain if you aren't mad skilled.

Can you win against her? If you're good enough to take her down, then yes. You stand a better chance just knocking her out at the start so nothing terrible happens, though.

Can you pull off her eye patch and try to bring it out? W-Why would you want that yes. This is, however, a great way to piss her off and you'll have to ask first. I am a notoriously big whore, though, so I will probably say FUCK YEAH and go for it.

Is this helpful? I hope so. As always, hop aboard for questions.
