Riyan (リャン, Ryan) is a member of the Dark Ones.
Appearance[]
Riyan has light skin, blue spiky hair, and dark black eye irises. He wears a sleeveless white kimono undergarment underneath his sleeveless dark green sleeveless shihakushō, a yellow obi belt sash wrapped around his waist, a dark green beret cap on the top of his head, dark-black elbow-length arm-warmers, the same dark green armored breastplate that Jai and his comrades wears around his chest but has a silver outlining around the armored breastplate itself and curved silver arrows in the center which is also held by red ropes, dark green gauntlets on hands that have thin curved silver inlay, white tabi socks, and tan zori shoes. He also wears steel armor around his face which exposes his eyes, nose, and his mouth.
Personality[]
Riyan is a focused individual, as he primarily focuses on his objectives whenever he is given a mission, even going as far as reprimanding Jai for wasting time talking when they were assigned to capture Senna. Riyan is also fiercely loyal to Ganryū, addressing him as the rightful ruler of the Soul Society, and growing agitated when Senna does not show him the same courtesy.
Plot[]
Bleach: Memories of Nobody[]
Under Ganryū's orders, Riyan and the other Dark Ones arrive in a graveyard at night to retrieve Senna. As Jai talks to Senna, Riyan reprimands him for wasting time. Jai soon subdues Senna, but is unable to detain her when Ichigo Kurosaki arrives and cuts off his arm. Jai recovers, but Riyan stops him from retaliating, as it was not yet time for them to capture Senna. Riyan and the other Dark Ones then leave.
The next day, when the Gotei 13 arrive to detain Senna, the Dark Ones ambush the Shinigami, and Riyan scatters their forces about with his explosives. Riyan then fights Tōshirō Hitsugaya, holding the captain off until Ganryū captures Senna. As Ganryū tries to leave, Ichigo confronts the Dark Ones on his own. Riyan, along with the rest of the Dark Ones, try to halt Ichigo's advance, but he bypasses them all and confronts Ganryū. However, Ganryū uses a concealed spear to impale Ichigo, enabling him and the rest of the Dark Ones to leave before any of the Shinigami can give chase.
Later, Senna regains consciousness in the Valley of Screams and demands to know what the Dark Ones plan to do with her. Riyan demands her to treat Ganryū with respect, but Ganryū tells him that he does not care about formalities at this point.
As the Blanks begin to converge towards Senna, Ichigo interferes and tries to save Senna, but Riyan and the rest of the Dark Ones prevent him from doing so. However, many Shinigami arrive to assist Ichigo, fighting each of the Dark Ones and the Blanks, allowing Ichigo to get passed most of the Dark Ones.
Riyan confronts Hitsugaya once again, confident that he'll be able to kill the young captain. He fires numerous explosives from his rocketpack at Hitsugaya, keeping the young captain on the defensive until he seemingly corners him. However, Hitsugaya activates his Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, surprising Riyan. Riyan tries to fire more explosives, but becomes horrified when he learns that Hitsugaya froze the Blanks pouring into his rocketpack. Knowing Riyan could no longer defend himself, Hitsugaya attacks him with his Bankai, leaving Riyan encased in ice.
Equipment[]
Blade: Riyan wields a unique blade that can open and split its blade apart, making it appear similar to fan blades. Riyan can rotate the blades at high speeds, enabling him to block attacks, such as attacks from Tōshirō Hitsugaya's Shikai.
Rocket-pack: Riyan has a red rocket-pack on his back, with two gold ohmn signs on the back left and right sides in the center. He uses this to fire numerous explosive projectiles which are powerful enough to counter and destroy an attack from Tōshirō Hitsugaya's Shikai. They can also fire black tendrils instead of rockets which explode on contact if destroyed by an opponent or near the opponent.
Powers & Abilities[]
Blank Manipulation: Riyan can utilize the Blanks as ammunition for his rocket-pack. In the Valley of Screams, he can use the Blanks to the point where they can continuously flow into the rear of his rocket-pack as he continues to fire his explosives without having to stop.
