RYUSUKE UGUMI

APP ■ 17 ■ MALE ■ HETEROSEXUAL ■ TRAINER

I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO NOW

CHARACTER BLURB HERE: Not quite a veteran but no longer green, Ryusuke is in the odd position of not really belonging to any trainer stereotype quite yet. Having yet to truly develop his own style or choose a specialization, little thought had been put into what comes after either completing or failing at his trainer career - on that point he is very much at a crossroads in his life, torn between family expectations, personal responsibilities and a desire for freedom. Fiercely intelligent and incredibly independent, though, in the immediate term little matters to him beyond the well being of himself and those close to him.

FRIENDSHIPS

Despite his far more extroverted nature since middle school, these people are still far and few for Ryusuke - while he tends to earn at least small amounts of goodwill here and there as a result of his Mr. Fixit talents as well as his seemingly inexhaustible knowledge base, most of those people were merely considered acquaintances by Ryusuke himself. Generally speaking, Ryusuke tends to get along far better with people older than himself although anyone who puts forth an effort and spends enough time around Ryusuke will likely end up in this category short of completely violating his own moral code.

HATESHIPS

For his few good points there are a number of things about Ryusuke that can rub people the wrong way - his tendency to occasionally put his foot in his mouth during conversations, his often short, blunt and to the point nature, and half a dozen other little quirks and oddities. Aside from that, there are a handful of things Ryusuke himself tends not to tolerate either - bigots, first and foremost, with the second big one being bullies. More to the point the trainer harbors a very personal anger towards Magma and Aqua, something that extends to all other Teams simply by association. Also of note are his prosthetics which can be rather unsettling to a lot of people, and while he does go to certain lengths to avoid them being overtly attention drawing in public he draws the line at wearing long sleeved clothing to hide them. Finally, while Ryusuke typically isn't one to start fights, mess with his friends or family and he will do everything humanly possible to screw with you in turn, ranging from petty mischief to a full on grudge.

LOVESHIPS

Bluntly put, Ryusuke has zero experience here. There's not much to say beyond that - the only knowledge he has comes from a vague awareness of other peoples' experiences, and that alone has left him fairly apprehensive of the whole concept in general as he's heard enough horror stories of things going badly. While open to the idea of such a relationship in theory Ryusuke is well aware of his own personal quirks and failings, as well as how they'd likely play out among strangers. In short, it's highly unlikely that Ryusuke would approach anyone else in such a manner unless he grew to know and like them as a friend first, although things would be far more complicated should the reverse happen as he simply wouldn't know how to handle it... for better or worse.
