[ooc] AS PURELY FIERCE AS A LION
Character: Rio
Series: Jyuken Sentai Gekirangers
Character Age: Rio likely can't age anymore; looks to be in his late teens or early twenties.
Canon: Gekirangers is what happens when you make Power Rangers with an animal motif, shake thoroughly and give everyone and their dog a long, nice catchphrase to say when entering battle. The good school of beast arts GekiJyuKen fights against the formerly destroyed evil RinJyuKen, revived by Confrontation Beast Lion-Fist Rio. RinJyuKen uses Rinrinshi: half-human, half-animal undead martial artists, whose Fist or thematic martial arts all correspond to different animals.
Rio isn't evil, just misunderstood!!1 Initially a student of the good school, he quit in a manner full of death because he sought to have more strength. For Rio, it's all about exorcizing his trauma-filled past by becoming the strongest and most powerful. To that end, he dabbles in such fun, family-friendly activities as reanimating undead and ordering his minions to gather human screams and despair for him. Despite this penchant for violence, Rio rarely ever loses his temper or raises his voice. He's a rather chillaxed kind of evil overlord.
After a few bad decisions, Rio almost turns into the real Big Bad's mindless tool, but he is saved by the power of love (yay!). Rio is now in the mend, doing his part to purge RinJyuKen from the world again. While still quite badass and dignified, he allows himself to smile and even have feelings again!
Sample Post:
This . . . is not the forest where I was taking a walk. I can no longer hear the wolves howling; they all want to know whether I'm headed to my grandmother's house, instead. And when I picked one of the fruits off its tree, the trunk thanked me for buying in Virola's secret, and that my purchase would be 14.56 dollars with taxes. All the signs show that, somehow, I have strayed from the path I chose to atone for my sins. Like this sign in front of me, "YOU ARE ON THE PATH TO EVIL. PATH TO GOOD UNDER CONSTRUCTION." I can't wait for the builders; I will make my own path, even if that means crossing through this forest.
There is something I have to do anyway, and I'm almost on the other side. I can make out, against the sun, the shape of a fast food joint. McVaria's. The screams coming from the inside are suspicious; this is where they've been reanimating the dead--no, it seems I was wrong. The aura, so similar to that of RinJyuKen, is emanating from the graveyard a few paces to the left. I must be hungry, I can usually tell the difference between a cheeseburger and a cold shriveled body.
Ah . . . so it's you that I was looking for. Stay back; I will not fight you yet. An undead who can do nothing but follow the whims of your master, tell me if this used to be your grave. "Here lies Stephan Debussey. Pardon me for not rising." Heh, how witty. However, you are no longer that person. If there were an animal that you felt a special connection to when you were alive, now you might have acquired their corresponding beast arts. Let me look at you. Long ears, big teeth. This is the Ass-Fist discipline. Its students work like mules and profess a total obedience to their masters. As for intelligence--well. They're very obedient.
No one will miss you, so I'll take you down now. As purely fierce as a lion, as powerful as a lion. The one who will obliterate the Evil Dragon, my name is the Black Lion Rio. I'm going to put all my strength into my fists, and . . . Huh. I guess that's over. You were not worthy of being my rival, after all.
Who's next? I've only just started, and I won't rest until I've destroyed every undead in this place!
