Ryudo Lee is a roleplay character that was a part of several roleplaying games. The character was originally developed as a Furcadia character. In Furcadia, a Strict RP Guild was created called Legend Of The Dragon, in which most of Ryudo's backstory was developed. Ryudo was eventually used in forum roleplays and Dungeons & Dragons games.
Physical description[edit]
Ryudo Lee is an adult winged white tiger with long black hair, and yellow eyes. His usual outfit is a black and blue vest, a pair of pants with a silhouette of a dragon wrapped around the left leg, a red cape, and thick black boots. He sometimes carries a broadsword, and often has a dagger strapped to one leg.
Special abilities[edit]
Ryudo is primarily a sword fighter and generally has little use for magic. But he does possess a few potent abilities that he utilizes.
- At will, though at the expense of a considerable amount of energy, Ryudo is able to transform himself into an adult dragon. The dragon bears his white tiger markings, but is a fire breathing dragon, akin to a red dragon. Transforming back expends an equal amount of energy, and leaves Ryudo fatigued. While in his dragon form, Ryudo loses the ability to speak Common and speaks only in Draconic. While in this form, Ryudo is able to understand the language of feral animals, but cannot speak the language. These limitations can be overcome with any spells or spell-like abilities that grant the ability to understand and speak languages. Also while in this form, Ryudo is unable to perform his other abilities. In this form, Ryudo has access to a fire breath weapon. Ryudo cannot transform while in an anti-magic field or under any affect that nullifies magic use.
- At will, Ryudo can summon his family's ancestral weapon, a broadsword named Unity. The weapon is heavily enchanted. While being wielded by anyone of the Lee bloodline (regardless of how much the bloodline has thinned over the generations), the weapon never dulls, cannot be broken, is featherweight, and can be stored and summoned from an extradimensional space. For each new member of the Lee family, Unity grants him or her a new hidden enchantment for the sword. When Ryudo's father, Kohei took up Unity, the sword unveiled it's enchantment of being featherweight. When it was passed down to Ryudo, it unveiled its enchantment of being able to be summoned from an extradimensional space, and to be unsummoned back into that extradimensional space. The sword holds more hidden enchantments, but the blade has not yet been taken up by Ryudo's brother Hauru, nor by Ryudo's son, Koji. If they were to take up the blade, the enchantments would activate, and become available to any member of the Lee bloodline who takes up the sword. If anyone other than a member of the Lee bloodline tries to take up Unity, the sword is as a masterwork broadsword, and the only enchantment that works is the one that makes it unbreakable. Summoning the sword is a magic-like ability, and will not work in anti-magic fields or under any affect that nullifies magic use. But any of those effects will not nullify the enchantments on the blade itself, only the ability to summon it.
- At will, Ryudo, at the expense of a considerable amount of his own life force, may transfer that amount of life force to Koji. This grants Koji additional strength and abilities that have not yet manifested in Koji. This also causes Koji to age rapidly. The transfer is permanent. Ryudo does not recover the life force. Since it weakens him, he does not use it often. This cannot be used while Ryudo is in an anti-magic field or under any affect that nullifies magic use.
- At will, Ryudo can open a portal to another dimension, accessible only through this ability, where the Lee family treasures are stored. Only a member of the Lee family bloodline can access the vault, and knowledge of the Vault is exclusive only to members of the Lee family bloodline. To store or retrieve items from the Vault, the user of the ability must enter the dimension. Anyone not of the Lee family bloodline can enter the Vault only if invited by a member of the Lee family bloodline. This cannot be used while in an anti-magic field or under any affect that nullifies magic use.
Einhander and Unity[edit]
Ryudo used to carry a sword with a very long blade that was known as the Einhander. The sword was forged by evil with materials only found in Hell. As it turned out, the Einhander was beginning to sap Ryudo's strength, and if he had kept it, it would have completely consumed him. But the sword was cursed so that he would be unable to get rid of it. But through certain channels, Ryudo learned that to free himself, the Einhander had to be broken. However, the blade was supposedly unbreakable, unless it was broken by a weapon made of the same material. It was not easy, but a hammer was forged using the same materials. But there was another problem. If someone were to break the Einhander, the person who broke it would die, due to the immense evil power stored in the blade. But there was a volunteer: Yuki, the Incarnation of Evil (aka the Devil, Satan, etc) in this universe. She owed Ryudo for a private favor, and volunteered to break the Einhander, in exchange for keeping the evil power held in the blade, and to keep the hammer that was forged. It was agreed upon, and Yuki broke The Einhander. In doing so, the material body she inhabited was destroyed, and she was confined to Hell for a period of time until a new material body could be created for her. Ryudo was freed of the curse and could wield a new weapon, one that wouldn't be trying to consume him. The weapon he chose was his family's ancestral weapon, Unity.
Unity was a blade forged to represent the unification of the two families that came together to create the Lee family, many many generations ago. At one time, Unity was thought lost to antiquity, until it was rediscovered by Ryudo's great-grandfather Mido Lee, who was a great mage of his time, and placed the powerful enchantment on it. The enchantment was so great, that most of the power in the blade had to remain dormant, to be partially released by the next generation, and so forth. Mido passed Unity down to his son Ryu, who had no interest in trivial things such as combat. Ryu was more interested in winning the hand of a young lady who would become his wife. Ryu passed down Unity to his son, Kohei, who in turn passed it down to Ryudo. He considered giving it to Hauru, but Hauru's interests lay in his research, not in family "trinkets". Each time Unity is passed down, from father to son, a new piece of Mido's enchantment reveals itself.
