Ryu & Ataru: human challengers

Name: Ryuke "Ryu" Toranami
Genre: Male
Age: 18
Eyes: purple-haze
Hair: crimson
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 142 lbs
Nation: Japan
Species: human
Powers: spiritual energy-based fighting techniques, healing powers granted by his amulet.
Alignement: face

Moves (single):
1) Energy Blast : Open-palm strike against the opponent's chest, charged with spiritual energy for extra power.
2) Power Suplex: From behind a standing opponent, Ryu sneaks his head between their legs and stands up, so that the opponent will be riding his shoulders. He will then arc himself backwards, going for an empowered version of a german suplex. Very strong move, but the starting part is risky when he gets his head between the opponent's thighs.



Personality: Ryu is a nice, easy going guy, which is eager to improve his fighting skills and will gladly raise any challange on that purpose. Though, his young age makes him a bit imprudent at times.
Appearance: Same as the pic (including the large scar across his chest)

Name: Ataru Toranami
Age: 18
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 140
Eyes: Deep blue/violet
Hair: Black
Species: human
Nation: Japan
Powers: same as Ryu.
Alignement: face

Moves (single):
Turning The Tide (or Triple T) : Counter move finisher performed on a charging opponent - Ataru sidesteps out of the way and grabs their wrist, then tugging the unbalanced opponent in and striking them with a spiritual energy-charged shoulder hit to their body.
Sacred Seal: Ataru hoists the opponent across his shoulders and goes either for an 'airplaine spin' or a super-samoan drop where he jumps and drops backwards, slamming the opponent down back first.



Personality: Ataru can be a surprisingly stubborn and enduring opponent, even a fierce one if taken on the wrong side. Still, his 'fair play' attitude and his shyness might be points of weakness, especially for a demon hunter.

TAG TEAM INFO:

Fighting style and moves: Grappling, martial arts and counter-moves. Chi-based combat techniques.

[bTeam finishers:[/b]
1) Double Dragon - Both Ryu and Ataru jump onto a grounded opponent from the corners (or some other high place) striking with two simultaneous legdrops.
2) Toranami Avalanche - Done on a cornered opponent, Ryu irish-whips Ataru into slamming them against the corner, then he performs a similar fullbody charge, pressing both Ataru and the opponent against the corner.

Story (both): Having inherited by their great-uncle some spiritual powers, two protective amulets, and an ancient book on how to recognise and fight monstergirls and demons, Ryu and Ataru have decided to train their abilities and improve their spiritual energy-based combat techniques in order to become professional monstergirl hunters. Hearing about the existence of "Fur & Feathers", they immediately joined it, willing to prove that humans can take a fight against those female oddities.

Fun fact: Ryu and Ataru aura strenghts seem to get stronger when they are close, like in their tag team moves. Though, they are eager to prove their skills in single matches too, convinced that their experiences at Gaia will allow them to either: get a job as demon hunters, or improve their skills and become very strong wrestlers in any case.
