[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; overflow: auto; font-size: 7.5pt; text-align: justify; color: silver; font-family: verdana;]( aye, sorry for not responding yesterday! darkclan had all my attention ;u; )
The darkness behind his eyes was welcoming. No images flashed about under his eyelids, no horrid altered memories of his reared their heads to cause havoc among his mind. No... Nothing. Just nothing, and Ryu was glad that he could sleep without feeling the need to wake himself up out of fear of having those disturbing nightmares he'd get ever so often. He had been sleeping a lot lately anyways, what with what had happened to him not too long ago. Bruised and bloodied he had been found, sporting various nasty wounds and broken bones and looking pathetic. He was lucky... he really was lucky that he had Sollux to take care of him when all he was was just trouble and a pain.
He was held carefully in the arms of the other, comfortable, sleeping peacefully with his face buried into the other's chest and his hand lightly gripping Sol's shirt while he was being carried. Soft murmurings seemed to leave him every so often, though they were at most incomprehensible. A quiet, "Thank you," could be heard this time around as he sighed, his chest rising and falling in a steady pattern. From there he did not talk in his sleep anymore, he seemed to have drifted off into a deeper sleep for the moment. Ryusaki had no idea how the inside of Sollux's apartment was, having never been inside before. His own home wasn't impressive to look at either and looked rather homely. It had a small living room and a kitchen, a small storage closet, one bedroom with a bathroom and a tiny walk-in closet. It was relatively small, nothing special, and it had its common furniture though due to being Japanese, it was quite influenced as such. It sure did cost him less, which was a blessing within itself. The rent was enough as it was...
Sollux had entered the house by now, luckily having not dropped him when he was fishing for the keys, and had entered. Soon enough, Ryu was laid down on the leather couch and he curled up slightly on said couch, holding his hand close to his battered chest as Sollux laid his jacket across his smaller, thin form. The ghoul made a murmuring noise that sounded like a sigh as he slept soundly. Of course, he was beginning to stir now though, becoming more aware of his surroundings just as Sollux had gotten up to go smoke a cigarette at his balcony. Right after the door opened, the ghoul's eyes slid open and he blinked them sleepily as he yawned and lifted his head just slightly. He became acutely aware of his surroundings... He wasn't sleeping on his own couch, he knew that... Easily did he come to the conclusion he was not in his home and he turned, grasping the fabric of Sollux's jacket in his hand. Hm? Oh... "His place.." He mumbled to himself for no significant reason. At least he knew where he was now though with a little bit of deductive reasoning. If he had Sol's jacket, that meant that the other was around here somewhere, right?
Sitting up fully, his chest throbbing painfully as he did so, Ryusaki grimaced and looked to the side, following the smell of the smoke and the chilly winds that drifted in from the outside. "This is your place, huh Sollux?" He said as he subconsciously put on Sollux's jacket. It was too big on him, being far smaller than the older man, but it was warm... and he was cold. He easily flipped the hood over his head and ducked his head slightly. He was insecure about the nasty wound on his face, even if it would eventually disappear and completely heal as if nothing had been there in the first place. He was certain it was ugly, and he didn't want Sol to see it.

An black and tan Shiba Inu with misty blue eyes that have no pupils and short, thick, and usually ruffled but tidy fur. The tan appears on his cheeks, some parts of his throat, his chest, underbelly, the insides of his legs, and the majority of his tail. Across his face and the bridge of his nose are small dots that closely resemble freckles. A silver chain can be usually found dangling around Ryuu's neck and they have a small baby deer charm on it. He is often found wearing a pink and red sweater over a collared white shirt that has its sleeves rolled up to his elbow.
— Major injuries: Multiple broken ribs, large strip of flesh missing from cheek, throat, shoulders, and back
— Minor injuries: General bruising and scratches
— Ailments: Blind, paranoia
PERSONALITY:
— ADVOCATE; INFJ
— BENEFACTOR; NEUTRAL GOOD
— Creative, fair, focused, usually friendly, gentle, decisive, methodical
— Cute, quiet, ruined, silently suffering, reluctant, submissive, private
— Becoming distant; aloof, mistrusting, indifferent, paranoid, stubborn
— Ryūsaki has become noticeably quiet, often refraining from speaking aloud whenever it is not required of him and is often seen contemplating or thinking. He shows distant indifference and despite the uninterested, preoccupied expression he usually adorns upon his features, he is immensely paranoid and mistrusting towards those around him and believes they only want to beat him down and make him suffer physically and mentally. Ryūsaki suffers silently though, and makes no outward complaints towards anybody about his conditions and opts to just keep his troubles bottled up inside of him and is reluctant to let anyone know about his troubles and inner turmoils. Ryūsaki is still kind and gentle, as this is the front he needs to put forward in order to stop people from further inquiring about him. He is more focused than he has been originally, preferring to think things out rather than act on emotion like had had been prior to his personality shift.
[color=#B4CDCD]CONFRONTATION:
Poorly skilled in combat — Prefers not to fight — Easy difficulty
When cornered or angry, overall difficulty ascends to extreme difficulty — Will become more noticeably aggressive and hostile
Has powers — Tries not to use them often
Won't start fights — Won't always end fights — May show mercy
Attack in bold text or in any other noticeable color
Can powerplay non-violent or peaceful actions
[color=silver]— Of the Rinkaku (Shining Scales) type; his kagune bears a resemblance to scaled tentacles that are released around the back at the waist. This kagune has powerful regenerative abilities and its appearance and structure yields a superior striking power which makes the kagune excel in brute strength.
— Due to his regenerative powers, the RC cells (what makes up the kagune) easily binding them together causes them to be weak, the kagune is brittle and more prone to breaking.
— Would be classified as an Rank C ghoul
— His kakugan (an influence of activated RC cells) will only show when using his kagune, is exposed to extreme emotions, or when triggered by hunger. Both eyes will turn into alternate colors, with the sclera turning black with red veins becoming prominent under the eye and the iris will turn a blood red.
— Hunger can be slowed by drinking an specially brewed coffee for ghouls; ghouls can survive without a proper meal for a week at most, hunger slowly increases by 5% every day after the first week of no feeding. When two weeks have passed, mentality is close to breaking and the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred and a ghoul will hunt/attack in a frenzied rage.
— Ghouls cannot stand what would be classified as regular food (i.e: mice, human food, anything that is not of their species) and if continuously ingested, the ghoul will become sick and weak.
— Similar to that of vampirism, though ghoulism is lacking the prospect of being able to feed "freely." A ghoul can only feed off of their own kind (in Ryuu's case: dogs).
