Fortunes clutched betwixt sullied talons, turning over the cards again and again.
Will the result be different this time around?
Is the Tale doomed to play out as it always has?

Perhaps this time will be different.May Fate remain ever in your favor.

Within the Ruby Sea...

A brokenhearted Witch gives birth to a child bathed in starlight.Her most Treasured, her presumed Successor...

The uncaring tides...

The Child had been stolen by the sweeping currents,
alive only by a Miracle bestowed upon kin with scales of pearl;
the breath of life within the depths.

Upon the shore...

The Child remembers nothing but a name,
having forgotten the Gift bestowed upon him,
the meaning of scales of pearl,
and the stretch of Time within his fingertips.

Ryuhiko's eyes have a faint glow. However, he will often keep his eyes covered. The glow will shift color when he is casting certain spells, such as turning violet when he casts Electrogenesis and other lightning-aspected blue magic spells.His tail is three fulms long. Both his tail and his horns are decorated with golden clasps and chains.He almost always wears makeup and can usually be seen sporting deep red eyeshadow on the inner corners of his eyes, pink lip gloss, and sheer pink nail polish.His scales have a pearly shimmer to them, one that is much more pronounced underwater.He speaks in an overtly formal manner, no matter who he's speaking with.He carries the scent of sweet pastries and wisteria blossoms, candlelight and old books.Occasionally, he will change his shape.

† In Ryuhiko's case, he presents male, but will be referred to with he/him and she/her pronouns in prose.
I might favor one over the other based on what makes sense for understanding the writing a bit better (i.e. between two masc-aligned characters, whatever would make for better clarification in the sentence).
Call him as you like, but please be respectful!
This is not the only way to fall under the umbrella! Like all trans experiences, this is not universal!

RP Hooks

Do you seek a fortune-teller? He is happy to read your future, interpret your dreams and visions, or simply lend an ear.He's a published author in smaller circles of astromancy, having contributed his theses on the theories of tarotmancy's ties with astrology, as well as having a smaller hand in botanical research. Would his name be recognizable to you? Could you use his expertise?He has recently completed work in Sharlayan and does practice as a physician, with a focus on managing long-term illness and injuries, particularly those brought about by combat.Have you seen one of his blue magic shows? He was both Azuro the Second, plucky sidekick to the Great Azuro, and The Red Doman Prince, notorious villain.Do you need somebody to heal you on your quests? He's well-versed in white, scholarly, and astral magicks that will knit your wounds in no time.On the other hand, Ryuhiko has need of adventurers to help protect him while he procures reagents.Does he seem familiar? Could you have seen him when he was young in La Noscea or starting his journey in Gridania? Were you in a guild together? When did you cross paths? Do you remember him? He will most likely remember you.All in all, I'm very open to discussion.
