Important Details
History:
Ryuchi Takeda was born in Chicago Illinois, but his time there was short. His father, being in the army, was ordered to go on duty. Being poor as they were, and without her husband's help, Masami and her son Ryuchi moved to New York to live with her wealthy Toshio, a wealthy business man who exported goods all over America. Ryuchi was not used New York, and often cried about seeing his dad. He was comforted, and life went on. Masami got a job at a grocery store, while Ryuchi was sent to school while his mother worked. This style of life went on for a while, and the trio were happy.
At the age of seven, however, being desperate for money for her son's birthday, Masami, made a deal with some street thugs, aiding them in a robbery in the store. However, the thugs killed Masami and others in the process. Toshio was told the news, but he did not reveal anything about Masami's death to Ryuchi, except that she did indeed died. This news sadden Ryuchi for a while, but did not handicapped him for the rest of his life. As he grew older, he was forced to defend himself, enjoying himself as he fought.
Then came the time for him to attend high school, the closest being Public High School 552, an infamous school engulfed in violence. On his first day of school, Ryuchi was beaten down by a giant man, and later in the day engulfed the young Ryuchi on fire. He was saved however, by a young lady named Kelsie, whom many see as a saint in the school. Surviving the incident, Ryuchi had gained the nickname Phoenix. He grew to have an affection on the girl, but was torn between her and survival. In the end, however, he discovered that she had a boy friend, and decided to keep an eye on her.
As the year went on, Phoenix fought many more foes, one being one of the current pillars of the school, Cephros. Although being defeated easily, Cephros made an offer to help make the young Phoenix even stronger. Phoenix accepted, and fight alongside the Pillar and his allies. Cephros was a bad influence to the young man, as he taught Ryuchi to take any opportunities he saw, and to remove any obstacles in his way.
It was during his time with Cephros that he began smoking, using the cigarettes to calm him down. Then the unexpected happened; the headmaster at the time retired. Not so long after, 552 was shrouded in chaos and violence, where many people were injured. Even after school year was finish, the brutality continued in the streets, forcing the police to intervene in the madness. Unable to convince his nephew to stop fighting, Toshio began packing for a move to California, a desperate move to save his nephew form the violence. Phoenix reluctantly moved with his uncle, beginning his new life in California.
Fighting Style: For Phoenix, the best defense is a great offense, and that is exactly what he has. An offensive fighter, Phoenix will attack with both speed and precision, aiming to take his opponent out as quickly as possible, with the least amount of injuries. When on the offensive, Phoenix would tend to use punches as his primary form of attack, as he sees kicks unnecessarily attack; it has it's moments, but most of the time, kicks tend to get countered most of the time. Phoenix also favors throws and takedowns that uses his foe's momentum against them (Ex: Opponent 1 stumbles back a couple steps due to taking a heavy blow, Phoenix tackles Opponent 1, and begins to bash Opponent 1 with punches.)
Strengths: To Phoenix, speed is more than the rate of motion in a specific amount of time. It's control over it as well. Phoenix is able to use his momentum and the momentum of others to his advantage, while using his overall quickness to dodge, block, counter and attack his foe. As such, he is a proficient fighter at medium and close ranges.
Weaknesses: Thanks to his new habit of smoking, Phoenix's stamina isn't as high as is used to be, causing him to tire a little quicker compared to other fighters. Range is another thing Phoenix has to worry about, as opponents who fight at long ranges tend to be a trouble for the young man. The number of blows that Phoenix can take during a fight depends on the strength of the other fighter, but if the other fighter is a powerhouse, expect Phoenix to go down for the count if he is hit multiple times.
