Ryu is living a pretty simple and "boring" life, as some might say. He spends most of his free time gaming, programming or studying for college when he isn't procastinating too much. Most of the time, Ryu is pretty reserved around strangers and starts off pretty distrustful - once you get on his good side however he is a very good friend, making sure that you're well and don't feel left out.

The ghostie tail behind him is a manifestation of Ryu's anxiety and depression, his fear of being judged by others being portrayed by the many eyes it possesses. On most days, he doesn't really notice it - there are times however where it's hard for Ryu to even get out of bed or do anything else than mindlessly browse the internet while the tail lives off of his depressive feelings.
