Ryutaros

Ryutaros is a knight from the Mushroom Kingdom and is a friend of Kuzio. He is the one and only main user warrior of TOAA. He is a profession armsman and is the ace amongst the knights that serve under Princess Peach. He wants the chance to prove himself that he can be a hero just like Mario and Luigi.

Appearance
Ryutaros is a young man dressed in a thin clad of knights clothing with a long cap on his head. He has long elf-like ears which are pierced with earrings and has dark hair which is assumed to be long and unruly should one remove his cap, though he rarely ever goes without it. Ryutaros is taller than Kuzio and is about the same height as a person of Waluigi's stature.

Personality
He is very loyal and greatful to the mushroom kingdom and princess peach for giving him a second chance at life and helping him finding a life worth living. He is prideful and overzealous when doing battle and challenged to the ideals of the mushroom kingdom. During the earlier game iterations, Ryutaros was a very "black and white" young man and thus was extremely hypocritical. His strong sense of justice made him somewhat dangerous.

Mushroom Knight
Ryutaros debut game and the beginning of his legacy. The story of mushroom knight showed Ryutaros wanting to become the greatest knight in all of the mushroom kingdom, but he was looked down upon due to his young age and naievety. However when princess peach is kidnapped by bowser, the mushroom kindgom higher ups have no choice but to send Ryutaros after her to defeat bowser, due to all of the other royal mushroom knights being defeated by bowsers newly trained knight koopa's.

Abilities
Ryutaros' fighting style is a self modified version of the attacks and style that normal mushroom knights use. He has mastery over the all the military arts of the mushroom kingdom, and fights his enemies with a sword, holding it backwards behind his back like starkiller from Star Wars The Force Unleashed. He is very quick and relies on his speed and precision to deal damage to his foes. He fights like meta knight, but he can also use heavy attacks to deal heavy damage to his targets, though these techniques move slower and he only uses them when he is sure that they will hit.
