Lexus Ryu (born Alexander Ruinart) is the leader of the Arcturus Public Deviance Unit (APDU). He is the son of Nathaniel Ruinart, the former Lieutenant General of Saiph, and younger brother of Andrea Ruinart, the current General of Saiph. However, he does not consider his birth family as his true family, and instead adopts his team in the APDU as his siblings, with Andrew Carter (the overseer of the group) as a pseudo father.

In his childhood his father kept Lexus homeschooled for the majority of his youth, however he rarely taught him any sort of academics. Instead, Nathaniel Ruinart opted to train Lexus on combat, political science and history, his way of shaping Lexus to be the perfect leader like his sister. The government stepped in after an anonymous report of neglect when Lexus was 15, and Lexus was sent to a private school afterwards.

In his new environment Lexus met Cerulean Ross, and the two quickly became mentors and friends to one another. They had an extremely close bond that was abruptly severed after Lexus was offered the opportunity to join the Arcturus Public Deviance Unit by Arcturus's Lieutenant General Andrew Carter. Lexus accepted, as he believed it would protect both Cerulean and be an act of spite towards his father. With one of the rules to join the unit being to completely legally erase the existence of their identity, his legal name from 'Alexander Ruinart' to 'Lexus Ryu'.

Lexus was instated as the leader of the group despite him having no prior experience in such a position. Initially, the group only consisted of himself and Orlando Amari, but soon grew to a team of four with Careen Westly and Edyn Reigner joining on. The team's official job was to capture or kill the sector's most dangerous criminals in secret. While they did do such tasks, the team was also given orders to spy and gather intel and blackmail political rivals for those who were in charge of them.

The APDU eventually was given the tasks to publicly arrest Cassius Hartmann, a wealthy businessman and leader of Regnaturi. The plan went terribly wrong however, due to the betrayal of one of their members, Edyn Reigner. The mission ended with the APDU capturing one of Regnaturi's most infamous hitmen, Cerulean Ross, and Regnaturi capturing Careen Westly, as well as Cassius safely escaping. The team was once again left with just Carter, Orlando and Lexus.

With the APDU in ruins, Lexus was forced to work with and make amends with his former friend Cerulean.

## Physical Appearance

Lexus is mixed race ( Japanese on his mother's side and French on his father's side), though he inherited more of his mother's asian features. He has naturally tan skin with mono-lids and dark brown eyes, scarlet red hair and a mole that sits under his right eye. He has a slender but muscular build, with scars that decorate his body (most noticeably burn scars that run across his hands). Lexus stands at around 5'5", which combined with his sharper features give him a more feminine and graceful appearance.

In his childhood (ages 15-17), Lexus's hair is kept very short and neat. Its much lighter in color, cut with short bangs and an undercut. He wears thin glasses that are mostly used for reading (though when in public he keeps them on at all times), and is usually covered with bandages (mostly around his arms). Despite his mangled body, he still managed to arrive at school very well put together, wearing usually freshly ironed dress-shirts, jeans and a cold dead stare.

When he joined the PCMU at the age of 17, he began to stop wearing glasses and grow out his hair in attempt to disassociate himself from his past. At the peak of it's height, Lexus's hair reached to about his waist, though it was usually tied back into a neat low ponytail. He could almost always be found in his state's uniform, a white coat with gold and red embellishments. Underneath he wore a tight black turtleneck to match his black gloves with holes cut out for the middle, pointer and thumb. The material used in his under shirt and gloves were electricity insulators, which helped preventing his powers from backfiring and aiming at himself.

When he fighting Cassius, Lexus's fingers on his right hand became so destroyed with burns from his powers that it had to be amputated to the knuckle when he arrived in Arcturus. His hair was also cut short at Andrea's request (she preferred the familiarity of him appearing how he did in elementary school). Lexus then donned the Arcturus uniform, a warm black with silver and blue embellishments.

## Powers

Lexus has a power that had become infamous in his family-- electrokinesis. He (like his father and sister) can multiply the electricity created in static friction (like rubbing your hands together, or brushing another object) hundred fold, creating a massive shock.

Unlike his sister who uses this power in short bursts, creating a taser like effect, Lexus multiplies his powers to become akin is small lightening strikes. This by itself is much more dangerous than his sister, both to his enemies and to himself. Because it takes some time to gather that much energy with a simple brush of his fingers, the energy has more of a chance of striking himself rather than his target. Due to this, Lexus has lots of burn scars on his body that he received from himself when he was younger, practicing his ability.

At the age of 12, he decided to forgo using his powers bare handed (like his sister), and instead use a conductor for his powers. He began learning the art of sword fighting and uses a thin metal rod as a "sword" when fighting. The metal rod acts a conductor for his powers, basically doubling as a long taser stick.

## Personality

From childhood, Lexus was vigorously trained in the art of combat and battle strategy. His years of constant training allows him to move eloquently in battle and everyday life. It also gave him extraordinary patience, especially in taking orders. He learned from a young age to never question the authority of his superiors, and to do any task given to him no matter how much he disagreed morally.

As a child, he had much pent up rage at the world and at his family, giving him a sharp tongue to whoever he deemed lesser. He excelled in passive aggression and in the art of saying lots of word eloquently, without really saying much of anything. He was able to keep much of his emotions and thoughts to himself, making him a sort of enigma to his co-workers. Lexus rarely lost his composure (only when prodded enough by others, or faced with trauma from his past).

Though he pegs himself to be a sort of "perfect solider" with little qualms when it comes to morals or emotions, Lexus holds a tremendous amount of guilt in relation to his family and Cirus. He has a bitter regret for leaving his family, thinking that what he did may have been a rash decision, but he mostly has pent up feelings for his childhood friend. He believes that Cirus was one of the only good things to have happen to him in his childhood, and holds immense guilt for leaving him behind (though for the majority of the time in the PCMU he chooses to believe that Cirus was better off without Lexus anyway)

In adulthood, Lexus tries to let go his rage for his past, and just accepts his predicament. He tries to redeem himself by staying alive under Andrea's control as a sort of self punishment (though he plays this off as "being able to make sure that no one hurts Cirus"). He looks and acts much more exhausted than angry than his younger self.

## Childhood

Alexander Ryans was born on August 21st as the second child in the Ryan's household. Their name was prolific amongst those who admired the government. His father, Nathaniel Ryans had been second in command to Arcturus. before his retirement, and his sister Andrea Ryans was the current general of Arcturus. The family lived in the outskirts of Arcturus (the more rural areas outside the city), in a large mansion. His father became more and more paranoid that someone or something was out to destroy his family name, and so he decided to not announce the birth of his son incase people tried to assassinate him. He also decided to keep Alexander completely homeschooled, but forewent typical education, favoring teaching the art of combat. Because his sister was such a prodigal magic user and fighter, Nathaniel wished to one again recreate that with his son.

Lexus's mother, who had lived life as an almost captive house wife, grew tired of Nathaniel's abusive attitude towards her and her children, and decided to leave when Lexus was about 10. At the time, his sister Andrea (who was about 9 years older) had just joined the army and became a sort of local legend due to her charismatic attitude and stellar record in crime fighting. This left Lexus alone with his father in his training.

Lexus was unfortunately not as naturally gifted as his sibling. Because he was pushed to his limits at such a young age, he never properly learned how to use or control his powers. Electrokinesis (a power passed down the generations in the Ryan's bloodline), was always most efficient when used in short bursts. Rather, Lexus tries to maximize the amount of energy used to be a giant burst of energy in a relatively short amount of time. This approach to electrokinesis mostly backfires in his youth, resulting in many injuries to himself. As a young teenager he is almost always seen covered in bandages due to the amount of burn scars (most noticeably on his arms). Not only is this form of magic dangerous, but it was also inefficient. Because Lexus holds such a large amount of energy, it is much harder to control. Even if he does manage to not hurt himself, the electricity is wildly unpredictable and rarely hits the correct target. His father quickly lost his patience for Lexus's incompetence in magical abilities, which only goaded Lexus to push his powers further, thus perpetuating the cycle of "using too much power at once and hurting himself as a result".

At the age of 15, the local government had found out that Nathaniel had had a son that slipped under the radar, and started mandating that Lexus be sent to an actual school. Nathaniel begrudgingly obliged and sent him to a private school closer to the city.

Due to his lack of a formal education before hand, Lexus performed terribly in his first months in school. Though he excelled in subjects like history and P.E, he was exceptionally bad at all other subjects. About 5 months into his first school year he was greeted by a boy in the same grade named Cerulean Ross, who offered his help with academics in exchange for Lexus to assist him in controlling his own powers.
