Name: Mizushima Ryoto
Age: 22
Appearance:


Ryo is slender, tiny, and 5'4". His eyes look dark brown, but in the right light they are more green than brown. His hair is rarely fixed, sometimes it's not even brushed.

History: Ryo grew up in Shonan, Japan surfing every day he could. When he wasn't surfing he was competing in swim meets that took him all over the country, but when he was sixteen his dad decided that he couldn't swim the rest of his life so he needed to get a real education and a real job. He was sent too a prestigious private school and graduated secondary school with honors. He was picked up by a college in the states for both his academic and athletic skills, though he told his father he wasn't going out for their swim team. Now he is in the States on a student visa and trying to find a way to stay in the country once he graduates. He's majoring English Literature with a minor in Mathematics.

Traits:
- Good-natured: Ryo cares about people and will go out of his way to help someone, the only problem is that most of the time he doesn't notice if someone needs help.
- Hard working: He always works extra to keep himself ahead both in swimming and in his classes, you can normally find him working out, at his job, or studying
- ADHD: He isn't good at staying in one place for to long, even when he spends hours reading he's usually wandering around. Some of his professor find his antics annoying, while others encourage it since hi best work is always done while he is bouncing around.
- Graceless: The only time he isn't tripping over his own feet is when he is in the water.

Ryo wiped the water from his eyes as he stepped out of the showers and shook his head like a puppy, he had been the last person out of the pool like usual, most of his team-mates had showered and gone home before he even thought about leaving. He towel dried his hair and slipped on his clothes before leaving the locker room and heading for the dorms. Placing his backpack between his shoulder blades he walked quickly, thinking of the essay on Jane Austen he needed to get done with tonight, if he could meet the women it'd probably be done, but since she was dead that obviously wasn't going to happen. He pushed open the front door of his building and ducked under the arm of a bulky guy that was trying, and failing, to flirt with some girl in the entryway. He hurried up the stairs, through his backpack on his bed, and picked up his phone and apron off of the cluttered desk. He came back downstairs and rolled his eyes at the guys who was still trying to turn on the charm for the girl.

Ryo was just exiting through the side door when he glanced back and saw the guy grab her arm. Though it was probably smarter for him to get someone to help the girl instead of doing it himself he yelled out "Hey! Let her go!" in his thick Japanese accent to the moron that was almost a foot taller than him. He pulled harder and said "What are you going to do kid? How old are you anyway? You can't be older than fifteen." Instead of gracing the jerk with an answer, and against his better judgement, he walked up and punched the guy straight in the face, he might have been small but he was pretty strong. Surprised by the assault the guy let go of the fluffy haired girl and grabbed for Ryo instead "You really shouldn't have done that." he said, angrily grabbing Ryo's hair and pulling it upward like a handle.

"If you don't take this outside I'm calling campus security!" the goth girl behind the desk in the middle of the room said without looking up from her spiral notebook or taking the pencil end out of her mouth. Without another word the beefy guy let go of Ryo and glared at the girl before leaving through the front door. He was either scared of getting kicked off the football team or the girl who was working there was just really that scary. "Ow." he said with a frown as he rubbed his hand on the top of his now slightly sore head. "You okay?" he asked quietly, trying not to get on the nerves of the threatening girl who seemed to not even be paying attention to them anymore.

"Hopefully not, I think my boss would come unglued if I didn't show up for work." Ryo said with a short awkward laugh, he was lucky his shift didn't start for another half hour and it was only a five minute walk from the dorms. "He'll get his own eventually, just most likely not from me." He tilted his head and gave her a smile that made him look even younger than normal, people obviously already thought he was some high schooler there for a tour or something.

"Yea, I have for three years now, most of the upperclassmen know I go here, but freshman and sophomores aren't usually sure." Ryo laughed and offered his hand for to shake, a custom that he still wasn't used to even with the time he'd been here. "I'm Ryoto, erh- Call me Ryo, most people think it's easier."

"Loli? You seem just about as far from a loli as someone can get." Ryo grinned, it was true though, the girl looked nothing like many of the girls that he was friends with that were always dressed in that style, he checked the time on his phone to make sure he wasn't late for work and smiled, he could stay and talk a few minutes as long as when he headed for work there wasn't anymore run-ins with brainless jocks.

Ryo snickered and hit the lock button on his phone "What year are you?" he asked curiously, talking with his hands as he did so, which made the surfboard and Scouting Legion symbol phone straps that were dangling from his phone jingle together.

"You're a musician?! I wish I was that talented! Learning how to play the c-scale on piano is as far as I got before stopping!" Ryo said excitedly, he'd always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, but he had never had the patience to actually sit down and do it.

"Really? That would be so cool! I could pay you to be my tutor if you want, I'm not even sure I could learn, but I can always try!" Ryo checked the clock again and groaned silently "I've got to go before I'm late again, I think my boss will kill me if I am." He smiled at her again then said "You should come get a drink at The Mouse tonight, I'm the bartender on weeknights." he was referring to the popular student bar that was about a block off campus, it was actually an all ages restaurant called Mickey's grill, but after one kid a few years ago thought it was named after Mickey Mouse everybody started calling it that.

"Tomorrow then, it's a Friday, or you could meet me there Saturday even though I'm not working." Ryo said hurriedly, then he realized the slight nervousness in her voice "It's pretty much only other students, most of the locals avoid it because it's so loud." he wasn't sure if the words would make it worse or better, but he had to at least try.

"Thanks! Oh- Uh- I mean cool." Ryo smiled and punched the number into the onscreen nine-key on his phone, then added a contact and sent her a message with the word -Heyyou!- before locking it back and putting it in his inside jacket pocket. "So I'll see you there then, but now I really have to go, text me!" the edges of his smile turned into a slight grin before he disappeared out of the side door on his way to work.

Friday night at the Mouse Ryo held two tall clear glasses in one hand and filled them each with one of the draft beers before setting them in front on a group of guys and begging another pair. The inside of the restaurant was filled with license plates from all over the country and other car memorabilia, with blue and red vinal booths and plastic bar stools that surrounded bar he stood behind. Sixties music played out of the vintage jukebox in the corner as people hollered about the different sports games going on on the TVs above the bar.
