Appearance
General Appearance
This is how Ruvyn generally looks. He has violet eyes and scruffy looking black hair swiped to the side in a hurry. He likes this look, he enjoys it. It suits him, in his opinion, though it is way different from when he was alive. He stands 1,75 metres tall in this appearance, a perfect length for him. He is rather slim, which he prefers above the slightly chunky appearance he had before death.
Appearance Before Death
It is rather rare to find Ruvyn like this, because it resembles his childhood before he had died. It is not how he loves to look, but this is more casual and sometimes necissary. The blue eyes and blue hair stand out. In this form, he is rather small compared to his general appearance. He now stands only 1,70 metres, too short in his eyes, though it doesn't matter much being a ghost. In this form, he is not slim not tall, but a bit chunky, though not full of visible muscles, since this is not Ruvyn and he will never be.
Insane Appearance
This happens when Ruvyn is very angry. His violet eyes will turn a bright red colour. Apart from that, he looks the same as in his general appearance. Regardless of that, I would still watch out for him. He will lose his self-control and therefore will be very dangerous. Normally in this state, his body will tremble and he will float a tad bit higher above the ground than normal. You will also be able to see deep wrinkles appearing on his face, painting that of an old man.

Character Concept
Ruvyn is a... Maybe you could call him an odd person. He has some weird traits and manages to get himself in trouble only by speaking. This has happened to him before and talking with him about that seems like a horrible idea. He does not like Kelvics due to a happening in his history. Ruvyn believes that they are animals, and due to his hatred for animals it is logical for him to hate Kelvics. He doesn't care about them, and being a family member or firend of a Kelvic would be certainly horrible for both him and the Kelvic. Only friends and family are that important to him. He lived by the rule 'mind your own business, and not others' and so he will not try to mind someone else's business.
Ruvyn never really bonds to someone easily, both due to hurted trust and common sense. Everyone keeps dying while I live forth, so why bond? Why care? Why make friends? You'll miss them anyway. In his first, say, 100 years he even less cared about people. If it was not his problem, he wouldn't mind. It was for them to solve. Later, Ruvyn realised some people could simply not do this on their own. They needed help and there was no one to give that to them. Then, he changed his mind and tried his best to help others. Something clicked in his mind. It was the right thing to do.
Ruvyn changes continuously. He has three different personalities and therefore, he has three different appearances. In his first personality, he is a bit of the smart guy trying to make sure everything goes like he wants it to (so he's sure it can't be done wrong). In the second, he is more mystique and dangerous. He will not just murder around like crazy, but in this case he is a dangerous mix of intelligence and anger. He can be very mean when he is like this, as well as he enjoys other's fear and hurt. In the third, he goes completely mad and cannot think about what he does. It just happens. Ruvyn just says it's in his genes to do that.
Ruvyn's personality changed over time however, and he has now become an extremely bipolar person. He has ever been afraid of others getting mad at him and hurting him, but as of Summer 513 these feelings have grown stronger and extremer. Before, the ghost would sometimes hold up a mirror to the person dealing with, but now he contantly does. It's safe. One cannot get mad at him without hating themself, but it brings bad things too. Ruvyn has almost forgotten his own personality. His feelings, his morals, his being. This is a struggle for him every day and he can't escape the fear of history repeating itself again.
History
Ruvyn's history starts when he was born. His father wasn't your... Dream-father. No, he was far from it. Whenever he would be angry, at least one person would get hit. Ruvyn got used to it. There was not a person who got spared in the whole household. As you can imagine, Ruvyn didn't build up such a strong bond with his father as he did with his mother. Everyone knew it would go wrong, once, that he would go berserk and... It was almost too horrible to think about, but it happened. One day, you could hear someone being beat up again, but instead of the normal sight of seeing someone stumble out, it stayed quiet. His father had murdered the first of many yet to come.
That morning, Ruvyn woke up a tad bit confused. It was a mess and there were not as much sounds as normal. The floor, the walls, even the ceiling was smothered with blood. How it came up there, Ruvyn had no idea of. In the corner Ruvyn could recognise a shape that had been their pet. Poor Syli. Turning his head away, Ruvyn tried to get hold of what happened, or, what was happening. He closed his eyes and opened them again, but this was real.
He was curious if Shiyami was still alive. And his mom. And Syli, but she had been... A click of the door disturbed his thoughts and with a shock he turned around. His father was there, with a big knife in his hand. He was smothered with blood, like the house and the corpses. Ruvyn had known this, but it was hard to realise. Frozen, his father came closer and bent down to then pierce his knife through Ruvyn's chest.
When Ruvyn woke up, he didn't understand. It was still bloody, but his father had killed him... He did know of ghosts, but they only stayed when they had something to fulfill. Cautiously, he floated around the house, looking for someone, but he didn't find them. A bit sad, he walked towards the door. There, he could see a small Kwan Dao he had seen before but wasn't able to touch it. It looked very interesting and... Deadly. But that was not the most interesting. It shone and he could see his own reflection clearly. It flickered. Shrugging, he carefully took it with him and then turned his back on his 'home'. For the first time in his life, he left this place he was born and raised.
Where to go? Startled, he floated away as far from 'home' as he could. Ruvyn took his death rather personally. This resulted in something snapping in his mind, a certain anger. Every time something happened, if it was good or bad, it flared up until Ruvyn couldn't hold himself anymore. He lost his sanity, like his brother and his father. Ruvyn luckily didn't do too much harm, instead of other humans, he killed sheep and cows. This didn't fulfill his needs, but there was no one close around. When he had cooled down, Ruvyn made sure nobody ever would have an unfair death as he did. Sure, it was a bit dreamy and unrealistic, but he didn't want to fall back into his boring ways of.. Watching again.
His last 300 years of existence, he has been trying to make sure there wouldn't be such people around, but he has never found his father or anyone else from his household. It would be crazy to go and search for them, since they would be dead and the chance that they would be ghosts was very small.
