Ryoutarou Daiba

**Ryoutarou Daiba** is a Tech Genius. He and his twin sister Kyouka joined the Reinan SP together, with Ryoutarou providing Kyouka most of her gear.

## Appearance

Ryoutarou wore standard, wire-frame glasses and had a tall frame with lean muscle. His mahogany brown hair and amber eyes also matches that of his sister, Kyouka.

## Background

Ryoutarou and Kyouka’s mother Ruriko was an abusive parent. She suffers from feelings of repression and a lack of fulfillment. Resulting in her attempts to live vicariously through Kyouka by controlling her life. Eventually, Ryoutarou stopped her. Ever since then, he has been extremely protective of his sister, frequently intervening in the abusive relationships she tended to get herself into without her knowledge.

His willingness to cross the line attracted the attention of a number of Subtlety Heroes in his fourth year at Lander.

Misdirection of the Elemental Fury team secretly tested his ability and willingness to cross the line. He passed by getting close to the line without actually crossing it, so she offered to mentor him during his internship.

## Personality

Like his father Ryoutarou is an introvert and has trouble relating to people. If not for his more outgoing sister dragging him to social events, he would have spent much of his life indoors, tinkering with some gadget or other.

His high intelligence and willingness to bend the rules make him a natural Subtlety student, although he also takes a Weapons class, where he uses a weapon he himself created. Ryoutarou also has a natural leadership ability and is planning to eventually take over his father’s company.

## Abilities

Will is a Tech Genius, with combined super-intelligence and an intuitive understanding of technology, allowing him to develop equipment and gadgets far superior to what is commercially available. He is capable of mentally performing highly complex geometric and trigonometric calculations instantly and has a limitless capacity for learning and memorization. He and Kyouka’s training mostly consist of building endurance not stamina-draining burst power. To this end they have learned a number of techniques such as Ma Bu. Ma Bu consisted of spreading your legs as though you were straddling a horse and maintaining the position for an extended period of time. In addition to strengthening leg muscle, it was an extremely effective way to improve balance. His training has greatly aided him both physically and spiritually. Physically he has able to perfectly perform very precise muscle movements such as handling small equipment, rapidly typing complex programs, etc. Spiritually he is able to visually perceive "mechanical energy" (the kinetic energy and potential energy present in the components of mechanical systems) in action. This allows Ryoutarou to know and understand the potential and functional operations of any machine or technological device in his visual range, a skill that, combined with his natural intelligence, allows him to conceive, design and build mechanical devices; and operate, modify and disassemble existing technology or create countermeasures for it. He spends much of his time developing and upgrading equipment for Kyouka, although he also builds himself a few devices as well.
Mr. Numbers admits that Ryoutarou may be potentially smarter than even he. For reference, the former can crunch numbers faster than any known supercomputer.

Physical Enhancement Suit

Mechanical Arms

Ryoutarou’s backpack contains eight robotic arms that  he can use for combat.

Glasses

Ryoutarou hollowed out a set of titanium lens frames to house a suite of electronics and sensors that give him sight beyond sight. The lenses made of cutting edge crystal plating contain transparent circuit board/image projection screens, which provide binocular focusing on the fly and surround view peripheral vision. In addition to focusing on long-distance anomalies, they can be set to find odd patterns, record video or stay alert for fast moving threats. The lenses can darken or display HUD elements in accordance with the electric signals passed through them. the frames have a number of small but distinct touchpad controls in the earpieces that can provide vision in the infrared or ultraviolet spectrum, magnify selected areas of his view, and provide overlays such as reticles, target grids, numerical coordinates, brief object analysis/descriptions and more. The spectacles are powered by a mini-battery located in the right earpiece just behind the hinge. The battery itself is solar powered, constantly recharged by ambient light striking the photoelectric coating on the rest of the earpiece surface.

Force Field Generator

A magnetized dual-ion field bubble that spreads forth in a sphere of charged ions which absorb kinetic abnormalities and disperse them across the entire surface of the field evenly and in the smallest fractions of seconds.

Sonic Tasers

Ray Guns By using an ultraviolet laser to ionize the air, Ryoutarou creates a path for an electric discharge calibrated to induce loss of muscle control and neural disorientation. It can also short out electrical systems.

3d Projector

Those of us who use our eyes to see do so by gathering reflected photons into our retinas for analysis. Ryoutarou figured out how to get his kinetic energy shield systems to sculpt themselves into shapes and to bounce photons around layers of kinetic fields until the interferometry matched the photons that would bounce off familiar physical textures. Holograms using force fields. The kinetic strength of the force field can be varied and fluctuated by marinating the field wave compensators in saw-toothed or parabolic magnetic de-compensators. To stimulate a texture, all you have to do is bounce magnetic wavelengths off a sample and record the feedback. Even better the new sculpted force field will nearly always automatically reflect the proper color photons through its interferometry process. To make a long, complex process sound simple, once you scan a sweater, you can holo-force project that sweater onto your body (with the proper computer code tracking your movements of course.
