Ryudo

Appearances: Grandia II

Age: 17

Ryudo makes his living as a Geohound, bouncing from job to job, completing them regardless of moral judgment. Ever since he was a child, he has taken his training seriously and now even his colleagues recognize his superior skills with the sword. Characterized as being cynical and pessimistic, Ryudo pushes forward, intent on getting the job at hand. Ryudo loves to pick on his traveling companion, Skye. Although they sound harsh to one another at times, Skye is perhaps the only one who truly understands Ryudo.

Ryudo is the main protagonist of the game. Initially rude toward people, with a very sarcastic and cynical attitude, he later comes to terms with the causes of his bitter behavior, which stems from traumatic events in his past. His character develops substantially throughout the game, as he learns through experiences with his friends and teammates about the concept of caring for others.

While playing through the game, if you listen closely, you can hear Ryudo's voice deepen in a hero type voice.
