Ragna the Bloodedge

!!!

**Ragna the Bloodedge** is

## Appearance

Ragna is modeled after the traditional Japanese manga and anime hero. He is a young adult with white spiky hair and heterochromia: his left eye being green and his right being red, a side effect from assimilating the Blue Grimoire into his body. His clothing consists of a hybrid of modern, futuristic and old features. He wears a vibrant red sleeved jacket with two long thin tails hanging from the back. Under it is a black shirt with three red belts and also several belts covering his right arm. He wears a pair of black gloves with a red shell on the backs of the hands. His right arm is a black mechanical prosthetic made of the Blue Grimoire, after having lost his original arm when he was younger. The shell opens up to reveal the grimoire whenever he utilizes it. He wears a black hakama and steel-toed red boots. He also has a small black birthmark on the center of his chest. Ragna has a bright green stud earring on his left ear, not on the lobe of the ear but further up.

## Personality

Ragna's personality is the same, with him being a sardonic, rude and abrasive individual who's quick to anger, stubborn, and wouldn't miss a chance to swear as much as possible. This is caused mainly by Yūki Terumi practically destroying Ragna’s life, which has created a mass of hatred in him; stronger than that of any other individual. Ragna often becomes infuriated at first sight of Yūki Terumi, which he and/or Hazama often takes advantage of through taunting him. However, even in cases where he cannot win or is on the brink of death, Ragna possesses an undying will and persistence, refusing to give up even when he is clearly out matched, something many characters either hate or admire. Overall, he has the same personality as his original BlazBlue counterpart.

## History

**NOTE - This is an abridged version of Ragna's history. For his extended history, see here.**

Betrayed and left to die by his own brother due to jealousy and manipulation, young Ragna was both blessed and cursed when a mysterious vampire named Rachel Alucard saved his life, resurrecting him as a Dhampir, causing one of his green eyes to turn red and his once-blonde hair to white. Unbeknownst to him, Rachel also grafted an Azure Grimoire, a piece of the infamous destroyer known as "the Black Beast", onto the stump of Ragna's severed arm. He was then trained in the ways of combat by the warrior cat, Jūbei, which helped Ragna obtain a level of control over this new appendage, further amplified when he was given his blade, The Bloodscythe. He would then run rampant on the oppressive government that ruled the world, Novus Orbis Librarium. His actions, which included destroying a countless number of their branches, have labeled him the most wanted criminal and caused him to receive the largest bounty ever in the history of the NOL. His ultimate goal is to destroy the NOL, for he blames them for destroying his family. But he always takes into account what Jūbei last said to him, that he must never think of the Azure Grimoire as his own, for if he loses control of himself, it will turn him into the Black Beast itself.
