Win-Loss-Forfeit: 0-1-0

General Info
Name: Rui Masato
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8''
Nationality: Japanese/Chinese
Weapon: 8-Ring Dao/ Clawed Gauntlet

Personality
Good traits: polite, brave, honourable (depends on his mood though), adrenaline junkie (could be a bad thing since it could get him into trouble sometimes), laidback, quiet

Bad Traits: moody, bloodthirsty/sadistic (when angry), greedy (people who doesn't know the reason behind the money would think this), stingy

Rui is usually in a good mood unless he is provoked. He usually wants to avoid any trouble, but if he can't get out of it without violence, he hangs loose and will go on a violent rampage. However, if he is fighting against someone who deems worthy, he will control his temper and will fight his opponent with a clear mind.

Fighting Style
8-ring Dao- his signature weapon, he usually fights using his Dao and would rarely switch to his clawed gauntlet or use both. He handles his sword with utmost care as this sword was made by his grandfather as a birthday gift and as proof that he is a man. The sword has 8 rings to bring him some luck as the number eight is considered lucky in china. Because of the lack of control in his right arm, he tends to swing wildly with little or no accuracy at all and will focus on slashing his opponent, rather than stabbing.

Clawed gauntlet- He asked his grandfather to make him a clawed gauntlet before he left on his journey in order to make some use of his right arm should the need arise. He usually wears it on his left arm, even though his right arm is the one that is damaged. He started to wield a sword with his right arm and intends to use it even if it can costs him his life. If he does happen to get killed because of his weakness, he simply believes that he was not strong enough to defeat his opponent. If he somehow injures his right arm and needs healing, he will take apart the gauntlet and reposition the finger pieces so that he could wear it on his right hand. Should he have to fight while his right arm is injured, he will not wield his dao with his left hand and instead will use his clawed gauntlet.

He uses his clawed gauntlet to grab and latch on to his opponents and give him/her a beating or uses it to pierce flesh. If he gets enraged, he will aim for the throat and cause a bloody mess.

Katana- If Rui gets his hand on a katana, he will use it as he can use both of his arms to wield it. However he usually lacks a katana, since he needs cash and ends up selling it to a pawn shop. He usually just takes the katanas of his defeated opponents and sell them off.

Rui mixes both fighting styles of Japan and China and uses it depending on the situation of the battle.

Backstory
Rui was born somewhere in Japan. He spent a few years of his childhood in Japan until his father's dojo was attacked by a group of bandits that nearly destroyed it. The bandits wanted to avenge their leader by killing Rui's father and his family. Rui's father decided to take his wife and child and flee to China for their safety. Rui's father taught Rui how to wield a katana and his mother taught him to use the dao. He also learned martial arts from both of his parents and managed to master them by the age of 14.

A year later, Rui's mother developed a gambling problem and ended up in owing huge debts to multiple people. One afternoon, Rui bumped into a couple of men who Rui's mother owes money to and ended up having to defend himself against their goons. That night, the goons came back, except this time with dirty tricks. One of them threw sand in Rui's eyes, causing him to lose focus. One of the goons managed to seize the opportunity and grabbed Rui while another broke Rui's sword arm, causing nerve damage in his right arm. They beat him to a bloody pulp with whatever they could find in the area. To add insult to injury, they poured some wine on Rui's arm and set it to flame. Rui's father managed to reach him in time when he heard from one of the villagers who witnessed the event and doused the fire and pushed back the goons. Although the fire was taken out, the damage has been done. Rui lost a bit of sensation in his fingers and could no longer wield a sword...or so he thought.

Rui's father used up the last of the family's money to buy medicine to help Rui in his recovery. Luckily for Rui, he was able to heal, however he can not have the same grip on his sword as he used to. Rui had his sword customized to get over this obstacle. He had the handle of the sword covered in material that was easy for him to grip easily and to be able to "feel" the sword even with some nerve damage.

When Rui reached 17 years of age, he decided to help his parents raise money and have an adventure, and so, he went on a journey. He ended up in Japan and heard of SDL and decided to enter, believing he could challenge himself and earn some cash.
