Yes, he is seven feet tall and thin as a rail. His hair is a fiery red, and he appears to be Japanese. Those things are all obvious. But some things I imagine about him may not come across very well in the game, so here's some more things about him that would probably be obvious to the other characters.
Movement
I imagine that Ryu moves with the same almost-supernatural grace of expert martial artists. Every movement is smooth and graceful, and he almost never seems to be rushed or in a hurry. His servants also move with similar grace, but there is more of a fighter's edge to it. In contrast to Ryu, they move very quickly.
Speech
His voice is a soft tenor, although he seems to be able to make himself heard without needing to raise his voice. He does not speak with a noticeable accent. His servants, on the other hand, have definite Japanese accents even though they obviously speak English very well. I realized from reading others' posts that Ryu can sound sarcastic, but he is not. On the contrary, I am trying to play him as almost painfully polite. Difficult sometimes since the player likes to joke around and be sarcastic.
There is much more still to be revealed about Ryu, but I don't want to tip my hand too early. Some of it the players already know even though the characters do not. That part I'll be able to play into once I get a second costume slot. Unfortunately, that'll have to wait for level 20 since none of my characters on Guardian have Halloween salvage or the infamy to buy some.
