Also do to failed surgery he has a scar across his lower back. Due to this failed surgery he can no longer walk, so he uses a wheel chair to get around. But this is a pretty special wheelchair, or as he calls it, its his duel chair. Its silver with dark blue wheels, the foot rests are higher up to accommodate Ritoru's short legs. The main feature of this chair is that the arms can connect in front of him, and create a duel disk. On the back of the chair are the letters KC.

He has spiky blue hair, and has green eyes. His skin color is red(Native American) and aside from the scar on his back, his skin is undamaged. Ritoru has a small budding gotie, or as its also called a billy goats gruff. He wears a navy blue hoodie, and shorts; although on him the shorts look like baggy pants. His shoes are simplistic, their just simply black shoes with Velcro instead of laces. He doesn't like wearing his school jacket so he tends to just hang it on the back of his chair. Although for school events he'll wear it out of respect.

Personality:

Ritoru is very outgoing and always voices his opinion. His motto is "If I can't get out this chair, at least my voice can." Often trying to talk to anyone who interests him, even if they were a different rank then he was he wouldn't be scared nore feel pity towards anyone of a different dorm. The only time he is slightly shy is when around a cute girl or someone he admires, but if the ice is broken he normally cools off.

Ritoru's attention span is incredibly high. He can listen to the most boring of lectures and not fall asleep, or do the most repetitive tasks without getting bored. But he has a terrible memory and will often forget something right after you tell him.

Jester - Always the clown, you can't take life or death seriously. You are the fool, idiot, quipster, clown or comic, forever making fun of both yourself and others. you constantly seek the humor in any situation, and strive always to battle the tides of depression inside yourself. You hate sorrow and pain, and constantly try to take others' minds off the dark side of life. Sometimes you'll do nearly anything to forget pain exists. Your particular brand of humor might now always impress your friends, but it makes you feel better. Some Jesters manage to escape pain and are truly happy, but most never find release.

When he duels he has a more arrogant egotistical humor to him. Even if he's losing he'll still crack jokes that make him feel bigger. He isn't mean in the sense, just rudely sarcastic.

History:

In the beginning Ritoru wasn't in a wheel chair, he was just a dwarf that had a hard time walking for a long time. The dwarf wasn't bullied or purposely isolated or anything of that nature. But its hard to hang out with friends if everyone is doing something physical. So whats a guy to do by himself? Well at first he just watched t.v, and played video games. Which was grand and he loved video games, but they really don't give you much social interaction. Then he watched something on t.v that caught his interest, duel monsters. He could watch those card games forever he could, he was just so absorbed by it all.

So inspired by that he decided to take it up, it was perfect for him. Didn't require any physical effort, just brains. He wasn't very good or anything, but he had a fun time. And with practice he even won once in awhile. Life was going pretty good for ol Ritoru, untill that day. He had to have some spinal surgery done, if it was a success his spine would be a lot stronger..if it failed he'd never be able to walk again. But everyone was confident, I mean the surgery had a 95% success rate, what could go wrong.

But no matter what the odds were, something still went wrong. The doctors couldn't figure out what happened, but whatever they did, he could no longer walk. Now he was stuck, worse off then he began. His family couldn't afford everything he needed, so only his house was set up for him. They also bought him a cheep wheelchair, but do to the wheel's height he couldn't even reach them to push.

So there he sat, in front of the t.v. Watching card games....untill one day someone rang his doorbell. A man, stood beside a high tech wheel chair. The man said, "We at Kaiba Corp are extremely sorry for your loss. So we offer you this wheelchair to so you can push towards a better life." Ritoru recognized this man, he looked up at the man, shocked and almost brought to tears. All he could say was. "Thank you Mr.Kaiba."

Some say it was all just a publicity stunt to up Kaiba Corps image. Other say it was simply pity. Ritoru said that it was a miracle. He was inspired, he no longer wanted to sit at home and do nothing all day. He wanted to get out there, so he decided he needed to go to Duel Academy.
Who knows what will await him there, the only thing he knew is what ever was there. He needed.

RP Sample:

If he could jump out of bed, Ritoru probably would have. Unfortunately he had to crawl onto his chair, but today he made short work of it. Because finally he was leaving for his new home, Duel academy. Needless to say the boy was excited. Inhalehing his breakfast and almost joking a couple times he father couldn't help but laugh. "Son, you sure are excited to get out of this place. We can tell when were not wanted, right ma?" Ritoru smiled and nodded.

"Dad, you know that's not the reason I want to go." Well..not the reason he would say out loud anyway. "I need to get out and about." His father put his hand on the dwarf's shoulder. "I know, have fun out there." Ritoru smiled and finished his breakfast. Not wasting a second he motored his way over to the door waiting for his parents.

"Do you think I'll see that man there?" His parents gave a shrug, not wanting to say anything to ruin their son's moment. Shortly after they were off, and even sooner then that the dwarf was on the boat out of there. His mother yelled to him. "Are you sure you got everything you need." Ritoru simply said. "I'm about to." As he looked ahead as the boat moved along towards his future.
