Appearance[]
In-Game[]
Kiryu wears an outfit consisting a black vest with his original royal red, white and gold twin tailed jacket with its sleeves torn off, as well as black fingerless gloves and black pants with dark brown boots. He also wears a tattered silk red and gold sash belonging to the Draco Royal Family around his neck like a scarf.
Real Life[]
Kiryu wears the normal uniform of Tsukiyo Academy, though the style in which he wears it differs from normal. He rolls the sleeves of the blazer past his elbows and he wears a short sleeved collared shirt underneath, as well as wearing sneakers instead of the normal dress shoes.
Background[]
Kiryu is captain of the boxing team of Tsukiyo Academy, and is considered their best fighter. He has won multiple tournaments for multiple schools from an early age.
Endless Utopia Online[]
Kiryu was the son of the previous Dragon King and heir to the throne of the Draco Kingdom and leadership of House Aldrake. Before the Great Player War, he travelled far north into Nymph territory in order to train himself within the harsh conditions of the snowy regions that the Nymphs called home. With the assistance of his friend Rin Nagase, who was the heiress to House Crysell at the time, he trained rigorously in the cold environments of the region. As a Draco, much of his power was limited within the frigid conditions, but over time he learned to better control his ability to generate his own heat, and would become stronger within the adverse conditions. After a month of training there, he returned to Draco territory having learned both the art of Lightning and his Weapon Release. This adventure garnered him the moniker, Dragon of the North.
Kiryu was deposed and escaped into hiding during the Great Player War after Heleanne's Rebellion against his father and the Dragon King's subsequent death. In Kiryu's exile he amassed a small contingent of remaining loyalists serving under his command, including two previous members of the Royal Guard. Due to his extreme power and ability being well known before his exile, he is declared the kingdom's most dangerous Outlaw by Heleanne herself.
Post-EUO[]
After the events of Endless Utopia Online, Kiryu continues to build his boxing career and enters the Featherweight Boxing Championships, earning himself a reputation as a skilled boxer shooting through the ranks. Kiryu becomes well known for his extremely aggressive style that focuses on constant aggression even when being attacked. To this end, Kiryu maintains a constant speed advantage and, much like his style in EUO, constantly goes for an enemy's most vulnerable spots to open them up for devastating finishers. In addition, even while being attacked himself, Kiryu will often refuse to outright guard, instead relying on his powerful evasion counters to use his and his opponent's momentum to land devastating counters, or even using his speed advantage outright to literally beat an opponent to the punch. Using this style, Kiryu punches well above his weight class.
He and Rai Narukami would often spar with each other, testing his own boxing style with his friend's learned style of Taiho Jutsu mixing Jui-Jitsu and Aikido.
Personality[]
Kiryu is headstrong and believes firmly in taking life by the horns and living in the moment. He is confident and loves a good challenge to test his abilities to the limit. He is also stubborn and absolutely refuses to give up, always seeking to make himself stronger in order to overcome any obstacle. To a fault, he is eager to train and fight, even if he is injured during training or a boxing match, he will often not rest and continue training, even if it would hurt his body even more, to the point where he was once hospitalized. He is often depicted as aloof and almost completely unaware of his female fanbase who will often follow him around school, as he finds it irritating. He is fiercely devoted to his friends, and will go to the ends of the earth to see them happy and safe.
Abilities[]
Endless Utopia Online[]
- Race: Draco
- Aera-type: Emission
- Occupation: None
- Main Equipment:
- Kagutsuchi
- Kirin (Weapon Release)
Kiryu is a natural fighter, able to brawl it out in one on one conflicts to a terrifying degree of skill, utilizing fast and powerful straight punches. His fighting stylre relies mainly on extremely high mobility, allowing him to slide through an enemy's defenses and land precise and powerful blows at a target's weaker areas with precision and speed. Kiryu is also extremely durable, able to take an incredible amount of punishment and give it back with interest, with his sheer power earning him respect and praise from his subordinates, and branding him an extremely dangerous target while in exile.
He specializes with his twin gauntlets, Kagutsuchi, and utilizes Fire to its greatest extent, charging up his gauntlets with flame and letting loose in scorching blows of hellfire. Additionally he can enhance his mobility by emitting strong bursts of flame from his hands to launch himself in any direction, adding to his already impressive mobility.
Using his Weapon Release, Kirin, Kiryu changes his primary element from Fire to Lightning, taking advantage of its extreme speed and power to dash about and close the distance on his enemies for extremely powerful attacks. Utilizing the exponentially enhanced mobility Kirin allows him, he is able to appear near instantly in an enemy's guard and land a single devastating attack that more often than not ends a battle in one blow. In situations in which he must stand his ground, however, Kirin is also just as capable of defense, the shielded arm able to be used to block powerful attacks before returning and retaliating.
Trivia[]
- Kiryu is influenced by Kazuma Kiryu of the Yakuza series, and Akihiko Sanada of Persona 3.
