    HUMAN (PAST)
    Overall Description: "Tall, dark and handsome" certainly is a phrase that applies to Ryan, as he is quite tall (and muscular), and with his tousled black hair and dark blue eyes, that covers dark and handsome. He has a scar on his shoulder and is seldom seen without a cigarette.

    [size=9]Overall Personality: Ryan usually comes across as a calm, though fun/party-loving guy. There have been plenty of people that called him out on being trouble and they weren't wrong. On the surface he seems chill, a bit wild sometimes at parties, and if you get close to him romantically, you'll think that he genuinely cares about you and you'll discover a playful and romantic side. There is a desire to dominate though, so he usually seeks out people that would be into that. In addition to that desire to dominate, he's very possessive and manipulative. When he gets set off he can be abusive and escalates quickly due to a very short fuse. He'll do anything to get what he wants, even if he hurts someone in the process.
    Positive Traits: fun-loving/pleasure seeking; playful; passionate
    Neutral Traits: determined; stubborn; confident; daring; chill
    Negative Traits: possessive; manipulative; abusive; irresponsible; arrogant; selfish


    Personality Type: WIP
    Tropes: WIP
    Alignment: WIP


    Habits/Quirks: Calls Sel "Lucy" or "Lu" and refuses to address her as Sel (might call her "babe" or other pet names); developing
    Hobbies:
    Collections:


    General Mood:
    Sense of Humor:
    Morals: Being an abuser, you would think that there is nothing that Ryan wouldn't do, right? Wrong - while he's not above violence, even against his girlfriend, he does in fact have his limits and if he were ever to cross them he would be horrified, or in the case if it happened to someone he loved, still horrified but perhaps a bit vengeful. Those limits are murder and r**e. If he accidentally killed someone, he would be sick and filled with self-loathing, as if it was intentional (he can't see himself doing so deliberately though, with the exception of self defense when there's no other option). Much like with murder, he would never purposefully r**e someone, and takes consent very seriously, especially with what his preferences are.


    Strengths:
    Likes:
    Hopes/Dreams/Goals/Etc: His main goal is to get back together with Sel, and will stop at nothing to do so; also seeks out any pleasures he can get


    Weaknesses: if children are mentioned by his partner (in the context of having them, not like "I saw this kid today at the store..."), he gets set off and incredibly violent; has trouble saying no to things that will give him pleasure;
    Dislikes: children; anyone moving in on his "territory"; embarrassment; looking "weak"; being mocked; losing
    Fears/Phobias:


    Manner of Speaking:
    Voice:


    What Others Are Likely To Notice: To some, when they meet Ryan they think he's a trouble-maker, and it's usually confirmed in ways such as his irresponsibility, drug/alcohol use and frequent presence at parties. Aside from that he seems easy to get along with, despite his flaws, some may view him as charismatic.
    What Others Aren't Likely To Notice:



    [size=9]Self Knowledge:


    OUTLOOK ON
    Self: In general, Ryan is a guy that holds himself in high regard and likes feeling like he's large and in charge. However, there is a part of him that hates himself for killing himself and Lucy (he doesn't know she crashed the car) and wants to make things right. He keeps that part locked up, though, just showing a cocky attitude and appearing to hold himself it a very high regard.
    Life: In the past, Ryan had a bit of a "YOLO" outlook. If you've only got one shot in the world, why not do what you want to do? Why not be happy, even if it hurts? That was before dying, and now that he knows that he'll be reincarnated, he's even more determined to seek out pleasures and thrills no matter how self-destructive it is.
    Death: When he was human, death scared Ryan. It was something that he dreaded, but now with the knowledge that he'll be reincarnated, he isn't as afraid of it. There is that deep-rooted dread, but he firmly believes that even if he dies he'll just be reborn and get a chance to do everything again.
    Fighting/Violence: Ryan is a-okay with violence and fighting, in fact rather likes it. The danger, heat, power, everything about it he likes, and in his human days he was known for getting into bar fights and brawls. Not only is he fine with getting into fights but he is also fine with hitting his partners if they upset him.
    Love:
    Relationships:
    Sex: Sex is one of those things Ryan absolutely loves. He can never seem to get enough of it and is always seeking it out. He likes feeling in control and powerful - and he likes his partner to submit to him, though it's always in a safe environment.
    Family: It doesn't matter at all to him, save for his girlfriend. His parents and extended family were deadbeats and he never wants kids.
    Kids: He absolutely hates them. He has no tolerance for them, finds them annoying and obnoxious and not worth the stress and resources that go to them. He can't stand the idea of having kids - which actually triggers intense anger and violence.
    Religion:
    Lying: Lying is a necessity to him, for one thing or another. He hates being lied to, but is more than willing to do it to the others, making himself a bit of a hypocrite.
    Losing/Loss:
    The Past:
    The Present:
    The Future:
    Friends:
    Enemies:
    Home:
    Hate:
    Selfdestruction: She is his. He knows their relationship is over, but he still thinks of her as Lucy - as his girlfriend. He hates that she's moved on, and his insistence at being part of her life stems largely from spite and possibly from some twisted form of love. He insists that he still loves her and wants her back, but considering what he does it could be manipulation.
    Sel's Kids: Big shocker: he hates them! He'd rather them all be out of the picture for good and would be happy to ensure that if it weren't for the knowledge that Sel would retaliate against him.
    Sel's Lovers: It's hard to tell if he hates her kids or her lovers more, because he hates her lovers with a burning passion. If they dated her, had a one-night-stand, flirted, or even seemed especially interested in them, he wants to take them out of the picture.

    HOW HE ACTS WHEN
    With Family: He's guarded and doesn't trust them. Generally awkward and wants to be somewhere else.
    With Friends: A bit of an asshole, to be perfectly honest, but (in the eyes of his friends) a lovable one. He makes jokes, does dares or dares others, he parties and gets wasted. When he's with his friends, he's just out for a good time, it's what he wants to have and he wants his friends to as well, though he will prioritize his own good time above that of his companions'.
    With Enemies: Anything "lovable" about his assholish traits is completely gone when he deals with his enemies. He is one hundred percent an asshole and there is nothing enjoyable about it, and he very much would want to make things as miserable as he can. Often times, his enemies are a threat to what is his and he wants to drive them away however he can. There's also a fair bit of posturing and trash talk, playing up his strengths and playing down his enemy's.
    In Love: It really depends on the moment. When they're out clubbing or partying, that's how he acts. He's having a good time and it's made better by his girlfriend. When it's just them, he is capable of being tender and sweet, but it's only on occasion and never lasts too long. When it comes to romance, he is not the best at being romantic, though he does try sometimes. In the bedroom... Well, this is a PG-13 site and Pyre doesn't want to push it. Let's just say the dynamic is different than in other scenarios.
    Embarrassed/Flustered: Posturing. So much posturing. He talks a big game when he's with his rivals, his girl and perhaps most of all when he's trying to cover his ass. He absolutely hates being embarrassed and degraded and laughed at, and if someone embarrasses him he'll do whatever it takes to turn it around back to them.
    Happy: He is an addict of many things, alcohol, drugs, sex, but the biggest addiction of all is the one that is the reason for all of the other addictions: happiness and pleasure. He can't get enough of it and is constantly seeking things that will make him happy. Dope comes from dopamine after all, and he constantly craves it and would go to great lengths to get it.
    Playful: When he's really, really happy, he becomes playful, a jokester, someone you'd like to be around, with the exception that he can become more forceful depending on if he's on drugs or drunk. In which case he can go from playful to insistent to violent in order to get what he wants.
    Sad: Ryan doesn't like showing sadness, or any kind of negative emotion (except for maybe anger). He'd rather just bottle it up, stuff it deep down and let it stay there until it comes bursting out. When it does come out, it's hard to control but he tries to bottle it back up as quickly as he can. If it's not him that's sad (or grieving or what have you), he tries to let them have a moment but then encourages them to bottle everything up as well so they can get back to more enjoyable things.
    Grieving: Unless he was incredibly close to the person that died, he doesn't show grief, even if he does feel it. If he was remarkable close to whoever died he does let it out, but usually in private, not wanting anyone else to see him hurting.
    Drunk: When he's drunk, he's happy and therefore playful. But if there was ever a time he was more prone to violence than when kids are brought up, it's when he's drunk and not getting his way. Not necessarily in the bedroom, since even though he might try to convince his partner to be with him, consent is still important to him. In other situations, he might get pushy or even violent.
    Angry: Ryan has an extremely short fuse and is extremely easy to anger, especially if he's drunk. However, it rarely lasts more than half an hour, if that, but when he's blinded by rage he can do quite a bit of damage, be it with words or violent means.
    Frustrated: He curses, assigns blame, he demands that whatever is frustrating him be fixed and becomes angry when it can't be addressed immediately.
    Cornered: He's like a wild animal in a cage when he's cornered, pacing, snarling and growling, trying to get out of whatever situation he's in at any cost. If he's getting called out as a hypocrite (or as anything, really), admitting fault is a last resort. When he's cornered, he wants to get out looking stronger than whatever had him against the wall.
    Hungry: He can get pretty irritable when he's hungry, and becomes very single-minded about getting food.
    Touched: Ryan loves touch and is always seeking it out, no matter what kind of touch it may be, the jostling at a party, the caress of a lover, or the struggle of a brawl. [ELABORATE MORE MAYBE?]
    Sick: When he's sick the absolute last thing he wants is for people to be around him, seeing his weakness and either mocking him or pitying him. Deep down he really just wants someone to mother him without judgement, since it was never something he had as a child and was always envious of those that did have parents to take care of them when they were sick. Lucy had started to do that sort of thing, but there was a faint hint of mockery to it.
    Hurt: Much like when he's hurt, the last thing he wants is for anyone to see him hurt or weak. If he gets hurt in a fight, he toughs it out until he can get home to nurse his wounds. In some ways, he's even more sensitive about people seeing him injured than ill, since you can't help it when you get sick but, the way he views it, he let whatever hurt him injure him, even by simply being unable to stop them. If he lets you tend to his wounds, he really trusts you and feels comfortable enough to (in his perspective) in a way admit that he can't really take care of himself, something that he insists he can but is not the case.

    [size=9]History: His parents didn't pay much mind to him, and were generally deadbeats. They frequently fought and he had no siblings. He moved out as soon as he could, though his apartment was pretty crappy. He got two jobs that paid minimum wage and he spent most of his time outside work in bars or clubs - where he met Lucy. She was only 20 at the time, but he was 21. He bought her a couple of drinks, they danced and went home together. In a way she hardly left, because she spent a great deal of her spare time there and after a couple months officially moved in. Their relationship grew and they fell in love, both genuinely caring about the other. He would sometimes inadvertently subvert Lucy's emotions, sometimes making her think that they weren't important or that she should be over them by then. Things only really started getting worse when she asked him if he thought she'd be a good mother, as the idea of actually having kids repulses him and even made him violent. Whenever the topic got brought up he would hit her, then carry on like nothing had happened. One night he and Lucy were out driving, himself drunk and driving. They were fighting in the car and it wound up crashing - apparently because he'd been drunk. However it was Lucy that grabbed the wheel and swerved them off the road and is ultimately responsible for their deaths.




    Past Plots: Initially he didn't remember his past life, but after a brief bout of amnesia caused by hitting his head in a fall, he remembers his human life with Lucy.
    Current Plots: Currently Ryan is looking for Lucy - he knows that she's out there and he's determined to find her. He wants to apologize for killing them, as he doesn't remember that she caused the crash, and to get back together with her.
    Future Plots: He'll hear about someone going by Lucy Lykke in the Skulls and immediately try to join the Clan, only to find not Lucy Lykke but a girl named Sel that acts very similarly and bears the name. She also knows him and remembers their past, but insists that Lucy is dead. He tries to apologize and asks her to be his girlfriend (or f**k, maybe even wife) and after she rejects him and probably tells him to eat a dick he gradually realizes that she has moved on and has other people in her life: more specifically lovers and children and Daddy Vader. He becomes incredibly angry with her and the people she'd rather surround herself with, possibly even kidnapping one or more of her kits and trying to hold them hostage to force her to be with him. In Ryan's eyes, Sel is Lucy and Lucy is his. Anyone else that gets in the way of that, particularly kids and lovers, needs to go.

    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]TEXT "Speaking"


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]The night was a blur. Agreeing to go to the party, getting drunk, going home, fighting, crashing, dying. He remembered it all, more or less but it was blurry, almost like someone else's memories. Maybe they were - his name was Micheal, right? It was supposed to be, anyway, but it wasn't. It was Ryan. Or maybe it was the other way around, his name was Ryan but it was meant to be Micheal. Ugh, it was all making his brain hurt. He wasn't Micheal, not anymore. He knew the truth about who he was, and now he'd heard the truth about what happened to her, too.


    He was soaking wet which... honestly wasn't how he'd imagined this moment (and he'd imagined it a lot). He shook himself out, saltwater splattering on the otherwise dry sand. He sat down, rubbing his eyes and composing himself. This was it. "Hey, anyone know someone named Lucy Lykke? The name's Ryan." He called, looking around and praying she really was here. And that she'd forgive him.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]He'd give anything to go back, honestly. Their life hadn't been perfect but they'd had each other and that had been enough. It'd been enough for both of them. He was determined to get it back, even if they couldn't go back to their past life, maybe they could rebuild it here.


    Another feline approached him, a female around his age. She was looking at him like she was seeing a ghost. Maybe she was. She said his name with familiarity, like she knew the name. This is her. It has to be her. Who else would look at him like that? Besides, she had Lucy's eyes. "Lucy?" He asked, a shocked look appearing on his face as she said that Lucy was dead. No, she can't be. She can't be dead. Ryan shook his head. "No, she can't be." She had died, yes, they both had. She had to be alive now though, she had to be.


    She was asking him to leave, but no way he could do that. "No, you can't just make me leave. I know how this works - I'm here to join." Before he recovered his memories, he'd been around to some Clans. He knew how Clanlife worked, he knew that you couldn't deny joiners unless they posed a threat. His gaze flicked back to the gray kit who was crouching a distance away. He was fine if she stayed back, more than fine really. The idea of kids being around here wasn't one he liked, but if Lucy was here he'd put up with it.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]For a second his heart sank. Was Lucy really dead? She must have been here, but then... something happened. But this person was too insistent, just as he'd known would be a possibility. "How did she die?" He asked, taking in every detail of the siamese before him. She even moved like Lucy had, and the faint panic in her voice and eyes was familiar too.


    //my muse crashed and burned rip


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]Ryan couldn't help but bristle as another male shoved in between him and Lucy. "And who the fuck are you?" He demanded harshly, glaring at Nico. Probably not a boyfriend since he didn't seem like the type she'd go for, but then again he was acting awfully protective of her. His gaze moved back to the siamese as she said that Lucy had died in a car crash. So she was lying, Lucy really was still alive. He tried to shoulder past Nico, trying to get closer to her. "Lucy - please. I'm sorry for everything. I can't tell you how sorry I am." He didn't much like spilling his guts in front of so many people but this might be the only chance he got. "I love you."


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]When Nico tried to stop him, Ryan attempted to shove him with his shoulder, no longer caring if this guy got hurt from it. Not that he really did in the first place. "Her apprentice? Really?" He looked too old to be Lucy's apprentice, if anything it seemed more likely that this guy was her former mentor. But what the hell did he know about Lucy's life here? Depressingly little. "Whatever name she gave you is a lie - her name is Lucy, and I don't have to listen to you."


    His gaze went back to Lucy as she opened her mouth to reply, shock running through him as she said it was too late. No! It can't be too late. There has to still be a chance. He shook his head. "Lucy, please. I'm being honest - I love you more than anything else, I want us to be together. We can still be together, we can still get married and have a life. What happened before... it's never going to happen again." Silently he begged her to believe him, to take him back. He knew she would - how could she not? - as she'd forgiven him every single time and been looking forward to their life together as much as he had been. Just because they died, that didn't mean it had to end, right?


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]Ryan trailed behind Lucy, not too close that she'd give him shit for it but close enough that he could hear her as she said that this person was there for her. "What's wrong with catching up here?" He asked, halting behind her protectively. No, that wasn't the right word - he stood behind her possessively. Lucy was his and he'd be eternally suspicious of pretty much every male near her.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]"No, you should step back." Ryan snarled, attempting to roughly shove Nico away and turning on him, fury in his dark blue eyes. "Because if you don't, it's gonna be you in need of a stretcher." Who the fuck did this guy think he was? Certainly not someone who new how to choose his battles. He had nothing to do with this - even Lucy had said so - yet here he was, acting all tough like he could do something if it came to fisticuffs. Well, claws to forearms might be a bit more accurate, since they were cats.


    He looked back towards Lucy and he knew he was winning. He could see it in every detail of her face, the way she closed her eyes and the small movements of her lips. Then she opened her eyes. "Eat a dick." She was meeting his gaze, no sign of weakness in her blue eyes. "Lucy..." He said, stepping towards her.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]He tried not to flinch as the other loomed over him. He'd hold his ground even if the alarm bells were ringing. "Am I meant to be scared? You've got some weapons. So what?" If there was one thing he was good at, it was posturing. He looked over at Sel, shocked at how easily she agreed to go with him. "Seriously?"


    //Sel: yes. you should be scared. Very scared.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]So his girl really was the leader, huh? It was a bit weird, but so was being a cat. Since the call applied to him (whether she liked it or not) he shuffled over and took a seat, deciding to wait and see what would happen.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]Weekly tasks, huh? Well, he was trying to get more involved since he was technically a member now. "I'll take one." He said, wondering why the fuck there were so many kids running around.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]He wanted to go after them. He didn't trust that Vader guy as far as he could throw him - and he had no chance of even lifting him. But Nico was herding the sailors - actually, really just him - back towards the boat. It pissed Ryan off, and he already didn't like this guy. He was meddling in shit that wasn't his business and interfering. He was probably why Lucy hadn't taken him back. "Funny how you pick and choose when to listen to her." He commented, half glancing over his shoulder.


    @Nicotine.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]"What the hell makes you think that? I love Lucy, I wouldn't hurt her." He snapped. He loved her, he really did. She was everything to him, but now, to this new version of her, he was nothing. There had to be a way to convince her that this wasn't who she was, she was the carefree, wild, loving woman he'd been with as a human. "And it's none of your goddamn business." He still didn't understand why Nico cared so much about her, or why he was so suspicious of Ryan. "I'm not stalking her. If I were don't you think I'd be following her and not you? And are you not at all concerned about the guy she just left with? He's the one that's bad news."

    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]After the fight with Nico he'd split off, gone to the border to wait for Lucy. It was agonizing, wondering who Vader actually was to her and why she'd agreed so easily to go with him to... where, exactly? And why did they leave if they were just catching up? Besides thinking about Sel and Vader he was still pissed at Nico, but the future Apothecary wasn't where his priorities were.


    They were on the feline that was finally returning. He took note of everything quickly: her shortness of breath, the relieved look in her eye and of course the marks on her neck. Getting to his paws smoothly, he snarled, "What did he do to you?"


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]yes I am lmao
    //gonna just,,, place this before the events in Sel and Nico's private threads for simplicity


    So they were pirates, apparently. Rough and tumble buccaneers that took and traded and drank. It didn't sound that bad to him, honestly, but he wasn't a pirate like the rest of them were. He was just a guy, an asshole. A human trapped in a cat's body. But if this was where Lucy was, it was where he was, and he might as well check the place out and learn all the ins and outs of the territory. So the black smoke tom was wandering around, trying to take note of everything instead of thinking about Lucy.


    //lame starter rip, @Xylia


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]He could understand why Lucy was mad at him. The last time they saw each other they'd been fighting and... he crashed the car. He hadn't meant to, but looking back it was inevitable. They were drunk and arguing and the car just... swerved, crashing into a ditch. The'd both died and reincarnated without their memories. But they'd gotten them back and now they were here, and she was acting like she hated him. He'd get her back though. He would. They were perfect for each other, aside from their... disagreements on children.


    She loved them, he hated them. She wanted them, he wanted nothing to do with them, and now one was running up to him and asking him a bunch of questions. An irritated look made its way onto his face. "I'm looking around. I... guess, the people aren't very nice." To him, at least. "A few places." Pyre hadn't really flushed that out yet.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]In the moments before Sel spoke, fury started building up in him. Someone had touched his woman, had hurt his woman. And she was looking at him like he was the problem. "Baby... you know I'm sorry. More sorry than I can convey." He switched tactic, edging closer to her. "Please... let me make this right. Let me prove that I've changed. I mean, you have. Is it so hard to believe that I have? Without Nico or anyone else around, he knew he could convince her to take him back. He knew he could.


    [center][fancypost=width: 500px; text-align: justify]His weekly task was to create a fort with pillows, blankets and barrels. After locating the first two items, he dragged them up onto the deck and started arranging them, putting the pillows on the worn wood and spreading the blankets over the barrels and having the barrels act as walls and supports. It would have been a lot easier if he was still human, but so far he was managing ok. He still had half the fort to fuck up, though.
