About the game
As a young boy, Ryu showed a talent in alchemy and was able to apprentice in this profession with his father. One fateful trip, however, saw them fall victim to a howling group of bandits. He survived, and wandering monks found him. As he grew in their monastery, Ryu soon became a strong and focused fighter with an understandable hatred for those who preyed on the weak.
