**Name:** Ritson Merculis **Nature:** Explorer (regain willpower when you make a significant discovery) **Anima:** Each eye completely phases into a pitch black sphere, devoid of all light. An aura of darkness surrounds, such that light seems to dissappear. The shadows surrounding him are drawn in over skin in an elastic manner. At the highest banner levels, while the shadows fully envelop the body, they still extend out over the land in a vast network that is feeding signals back to the center. **Appearance:** Ritson might stand out in an office building, but on the streets of the sprawl he blends right in. Nevertheless, he has his own unique sense of style. Weight is 68.04 kilograms. Height is 1.8529 meters. His skin is dark brown. His smoldering red hair waves back from his forehead, which might draw one’s gaze away from his face if it wasn’t for the chrome eyes. He figured that if the cybereyes were going to be installed anyway, he may as well have it his way. For an added touch he has an open eye tattooed on the palm of either hand. The pupil is a phase written with circular margins. The phrase is written in Latin, and reads “Ever vigilant, ever learning, ever ascending.“ You’ll always see him (that is if you can spot him) wearing his signature black trenchcoat with a cold flame design framing the bottom. The coat is reversible with the other side being plain black, but both sides have straps and pockets subtly woven into the fabric. He usually sports black gloves, black pants, and a white shirt along with it. **History:** RitsonMerculisBackgroundPublic, RitsonMerculisBackgroundPrivate **Attributes:**
