Ritchie (Fairy Tail Origins)

Ritchie is a main character in Fairy Tail Origins S4-5 and is one of the guild leaders of Divinus Magia, alongside his twin brother Brandon. He is a Lightning Devil Slayer and an SS rank wizard. He's close friends with Austin (S4) and Michael. His evil counterparts are Evil Ritchie & Future Ritchie.
== Bio ==
Years prior to the start of Fairy Tail Origins Season 4, Ritchie Diablos and his brother Brandon lived in Salode, a world without magic. One day, the twins discovered a one-way portal that led them to Atlantide. While the brothers tried to find a way back to their world, they were approached by a cloaked wizard, who implanted lacrimas containing Lightning Devil Slayer magic and Sky Devil Slayer magic into Ritchie and Brandon respectively. Unfamiliar with the use of magic, the devil magic quickly corrupted them and the twins created storms and destruction across Atlantide for years. Eventually, the brothers were captured and imprisoned by Reaper. The guild leader of The Wandering Coins at the time, Reaper, decided to train Ritchie and Brandon and help them control their inner devils. Later, Ritchie and Brandon founded the Divinus Magia guild with the goal to help rehabilitate criminals and offer a second chance, much like how Reaper did for them in the past. 
== Appearance==
=== Ritchie (S4) ===
Physically, Ritchie has lightning blue hair with light blue highlights, blue eyes, and white skin. His stature is slightly shorter than his twin brother Brandon, though still taller than most other people.
Ritchie's current attire consists of a blue poncho with a gold trim that covers his bare chest and left arm, held together by a gold pin. He wears black boots that go over his dark blue pants, which is held up by a brown belt with a gold-colored buckle. On his head rests a yellow bandanna with white polka dots, the same one he wore in his Salode attire. 
===Salode ===
Before coming to Atlantide, Ritchie wore a yellow bandanna with white polka dots around his head. His attire consisted of a dark brown, short-sleeved shirt over a light grey, long-sleeved undershirt with brown cuffs at the wrists. He wore a brown belt that held up black pants.
===Raijin Form (S4) ===
In his Raijin Form, black lightning marks, snake down his right arm. These markings also cover the left side of his face, causing the color of his left eye to change from blue too black.
===Tempestas Form (S4) ===
When he uses red lightning in his Tempestas form, Ritchie removes his poncho, revealing the dark red lightning markings that cover the entire left half of his chest and face, the majority of his left arm, and part of his right hand. His left eye transforms from its usual blue into a dark red color.

== Personality ==
Ritchie is definitely the louder one of the twins, unlike his brother (Brandon) he’s not as calm as him. Since he loses his temper a lot more compared to him. He does a lot of the talking for the guild, but will always let his brother speak up whenever he wants to, knowing it will be important or helpful. It's because of his temper and past of being in a dark guild, his guild members always try not to make him angry. For fear that they might face grave consequences or punishment by either twin, such as “dodge the lightning bolt” or Brandon’s tornado. A lot of the times, Ritchie is the one to blow up things more, but with the guild being idiotic it doesn’t help with that.
== Plot ==
As Ritchie was conversing with Brandon, David, and Mario about new jobs given to Divinus Magia, he allows Inmo to enter the room and listens to his request to join the guild. As Ritchie questions Inmo about his past crimes, he realizes that there is an S-Class bounty on Inmo for causing explosions in multiple towns. Ritchie and Brandon decided to recruit Inmo to give him the chance to repent for his crimes and help him learn how to control his explosion magic. After disbursing a brief fight between David and Mario, Ritchie and Brandon take Inmo to fill out his registration forms to become an official member of Divinus Magia. After Ritchie applied the guild emblem onto Inmo's arm, he informed Mario of a Magic Council meeting the twins must prepare for. [TBA: the rest of the Episode Plot summaries from S4-5]
== Skills, Abilities & Weapons ==
* Lightning Devil Slayer Magic - This magic allows Ritchie to tap into the powers of the lightning devil Raijin. This magic allows Ritchie to use:
**Storm Blink - Allows Ritchie to travel as fast as lightning from one point to another, making for quick travel. At the same time, a force-field-like wave of electricity bursts out from where he was before blinking away, being able to deal any enemies a considerable amount of damage.
**Lightning Slicer - A small sized lightning bolt is generated from Ritchie, which slices through normal objects.
**Lightning Devil: Thunder Outburst - As Ritchie touches the victim while jumping and bringing them up. It spreads a small force-field-like wave same as Storm Blink, but it doesn't allow Ritchie to teleport.
**Lightning Devil: Cataclysm Spear - Shoots electric charged energy in the form of a spear, when in contact this does a lot of damage.
**Lightning Devil Secret Art: Hammer Discharge - The devil Thor bring's down a hammer from the sky that's filled with lightning. It allows Ritchie to pick the hammer up and throw it.
* Leadership Skills - As one of the co-leaders of Divinus Magia, Ritchie has developed leadership skills, managing the guild members fairly well if they become rowdy (which happens very often).
== Relationships & Family ==
Brandon Diabolus - Brandon is Ritchie's youngest twin brother and closest relation. The two are able to work together in near-perfect unison, much like the lightning and wind they control. Throughout season 4 of Fairy Tail Origins, Ritchie is rarely seen separated from Brandon. When Ritchie's link with Brandon was broken in the season finale, he became emotionally distraught at the disappearance of his brother.
== Trivia ==
* Like his evil counterpart, he also loves raspberry sprinkle donuts
*In Episode 38 of Fairy Tail Origins S5, Ritchie was confirmed to be the oldest twin by 10s
