Appearance:Rip is a tall man, standing at 6' 3". His typical clothes consist of a dark gray, long sleeved shirt, and long brown pants. Over the shirt, he wears a crimson, hooded cloak. His face is normally obscured by a white, featureless mask, with an opaque black covering the eyes. Under the mask though, he has maroon eyes, and brown hair. His hands are covered by leather gloves. The one truly distinguishing feature he has is a scar down his left arm, and even that is hidden.
His hair, when it is seen, is somewhat wild, but short. His eyes reveal as much emotion as his mask, as does his face.
Personality:
•General Persona: As a mercenary, Rip tends not to speak to people, except those who approach him with a job. When he does work with people, he comes off, purposefully, as a coldhearted killer who will take any job for the right pay. In his own words, he has "flexible morals" and makes sure that his client knows that his loyalty only goes as far as the pay. The only thing he won't do is kill children or noncombatants. When he does talk, he prefers to use short sentences that get his point across.
In battle, he tends to vocally pick apart the enemy's battle style, which has the double purpose of both infuriating the enemy, and also allowing him to counter their style.
•Inner Thought Process: On the inside, Rip is as cold and calculating as his outside. His mind works to find every advantage he can, against anyone he may have to fight. He also tries to make sure he remembers anything important he overhears. He's learned from experience that every piece of information counts.
What people don't know is that Rip avoids other so that they don't have a chance to betray him. In his experience, it's better to avoid forming attachments, so that they can't be used against you. His mask is a representation of his unwillingness to get close to people.
•Fears: Not getting paid (really more of an annoyance than a fear), being made helpless
•Pleasures: Getting paid, the quiet lull between jobs.
•Quirks: None.

Weapons:
Weapons:
Primary Weapon Name: Dragon's Tooth
Primary Weapon Type: Sword
Primary Weapon Description: A flammbard type blade, Dragon's Tooth is Rip's weapon of choice. The hilt is a deep green, while the blade itself is a light yellow, almost gold, color. The blade is unique from most blades in that it's edges are waved, rather than the typical straight edge of a sword, a design done on purpose. The waves on the blade cause adverse vibrations and extra friction to be applied to the enemy's weapon, providing that it is a metal of some kind. The blade itself, while it looks rare, is nothing more than steel enough bronze to give it color.
Secondary Weapon Name: Fists
Secondary Weapon Type: Unarmed
Secondary Weapon Description: The only weapons a mercenary always has on him.

But Your History Decides Your Version of "Responsibility"
[/b][/size][/center][/u]History:
Richter Invict Prayne, more commonly known as the mercenary "Rip," has an intricate history, to say the least. Born in Radiant Garden as the oldest son of a large, poor family, Richter was forced into maturity at a young age, so that he could keep an eye on his siblings when his parents couldn’t. This would end up being extremely often, as his parents had to work to support the family. It was a hard life for him and his siblings, and the fact that his parents were never around eventually drove a wedge between him and them. At age 16, he would finally get fed up, and leave home to find his own fortune, eventually falling in with a small mercenary group known as “The Silver Fangs.”
During his four year tenure with the Fangs, he would learn many things, among them swordsmanship, honor, and pride in his work. Of course, as all things do, his time with the Fangs came to an end. In this case, a brutal end, when a member betrayed the rest of the group, resulting in the deaths of everyone but Richter. After this, Richter would close himself off from the world, believing that to grow attached would end in pain, and thus become a new man, the one known as R.I.P., or Rip. He would don a mask to hide his face, and adopted cold mannerisms to keep people away, making sure that no attachments would form that could be painfully broken.
He would go on though, and form a reputation as a true mercenary, one that would do nearly anything for the right amount. This reputation, coupled with the easily remembered mask, would create an image of inhumanity around him, just what he wanted in the end. Now, he travels throughout Radiant Garden, killing time until his next job comes up, accompanied only by his bitter memories.
