decided to make Ryo's backstory for once cuz... why not??
TW: slight violence, long fucking text
Ryo was born eons ago, not as a human or any earthly being, but as the result of a distant supernova in the cosmos. His creation was a unique cosmic phenomenon, endowing him not only with immense power but also with a beauty rivaling that of Aphrodite.
Since his birth, Ryo has been a silent witness to humanity's evolution. He has seen civilization flourish with great achievements, but he has also witnessed its darkest moments: wars, betrayals, and human cruelty that often lead to suffering and destruction.
In ancient times, when his presence was misunderstood, people feared him and considered him a witch. On several occasions, they attempted to end his life, unsuccessfully, as Ryo is immortal. However, despite his longevity and power, he is not without weaknesses. His only vulnerability is gold, an earthly metal that can bring an end to his eternal existence (and yet not completely).
Throughout the centuries, Ryo has experienced human love in various forms, but each of his five romantic experiences ended in heartbreak and betrayal. From emotional and physical abuse to the deepest disloyalty, these experiences have led him to close his heart, vowing to himself to avoid future pain, even at the cost of loneliness.
Today, Ryo leads a discreet life as a barista at Starbucks, accompanied only by his loyal canine companion, Juju. While he possesses profound knowledge and wisdom about the world and its cultures, he remains naive in many aspects of human relationships, finding it difficult to fully trust others with his feelings.
Despite his apparent emotional distance, Ryo desperately yearns to find true and authentic love, someone who will accept him for who he truly is. However, he wrestles with his own internal conflicts about humanity: while he deeply loves the Earth and its inhabitants, he also questions whether the human race deserves to exist after everything he has witnessed.
Within him, Ryo harbors immeasurable power, capable of altering humanity's fate with a single gesture. But aware of the devastating consequences of such action, he fears reaching a point of no return, where his emotions and power could collide, facing him with a choice that could change everything.
Thus, Ryo continues his journey in the modern world, carrying his past and internal dilemmas, while seeking his place in a world that he himself doubts should exist.
in conclusion: Ryo you fucking bisexual lovecraft sexy bastard
