Menos Ryno-o

Light

Menos Ryno-o is a Mont Dors agent working in the Ivory Cheateau. He is half kura and half human, but inherited the Biruki trait from his grandmother giving him white feathers.

## Appearance

Menos is tall and resembles both a kura and a human. While his face and physical build are more akin to that of a human, he has feathers in various places as well. He has the feathered hair of a kura, as well as feathers on the underside of his arms, his back, his sides, and most of his legs. He also has the tail feathers of the kura. His feathers are the signature white of the Biruki and are long and well kept.

Menos wears loose black pants that taper to his ankles. He wears an open light blue button-up t-shirt that has navy colored pineapples on it. He also wears bandages that cover his forearms and his hands. He has a tribal tattoo of Tikuri Laba that covers his front torso.

## History

Menos was living in Ad-Darana with his parents before he was kidnapped by thugs looking to make black tar and sell it on the black market. Since he is only half kura the black tar was not as potent as it should have been and came out discolored as well. He was then sold as a slave and worked in an illegal drug production plant until it was busted by members of the International Peacekeeping Force. This caused Menos to seek to join the IPF and later on took a job opportunity within the Ivory Chateau to become a Mont Dors agent.

## Abilities

### Dark Key Art

The dark key art is a variation of the dark affinity that allows the user to manipulate dark energy in order to open and close things. This thing that the art effects depend on the skill level of the user, ranging from simple doors to the human body. This is the main art that Menos uses

### Snow Manipulation

Menos has developed his water affinity into the snow art, allowing him to manipulate snow. He uses this art as a spatial art, altering the surrounding area for his benefit.

### Techniques

* **Dark Lock -** A signature technique of Menos, he stretches his arms out and faces one first upward and one first downward. By focusing his energy, Menos can "lock" a person or object in its current position. Usually, he can put his hands down after using this technique, but if the target is particularly strong or heavy then he will need to keep his arms up in order to keep a constant stream of energy.
* **Opening Issue -** Menos focuses his energy on any physical lock and can open it. The stronger the lock is the more energy he has to use.
* **Reverse Seal -** Menos can attempt to release any energy lock or seal by focusing energy into it.
* **Snow Shroud -** Menos causes it to start snowing, reducing the visibility of the target or targets. It also masks his energy presence by spreading it around. He uses this technique in order to set up other techniques as well.
* **Snowcicle -** Menos creates a rough spear of snow that rises from the snow on the ground and fires at the target.
* **Light Scale Binding -** Menos forms the archaic hand symbol for binding and a large scale falls onto the target. If the target is stronger than Menos, he can offer years of his life to the scale, allowing it to become more powerful. Once he releases the binding symbol, he will automatically lose however many years he offered the scale before it dissipates.
