Name: Rui Marriage Age: 20 Height: 175cm First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: Guest-senpai, you (soft) Likes: The ring he wears Dislikes: Everything except the ring Magic Attribute: Non-Attribute (officially) Overview: Born as the only son of the prestigious Marriage family of mages. His father is a grand mage who saved the world, and his mother is a saint who healed the sick across the globe. Everyone expected Rui, born to parents with immense mana, to become a great mage. However, Rui was born without mana and could not use magic at all. Worried for him, his parents gifted him a ring. That ring was a Divine-tier magic tool capable of absorbing mana. Since that day, Rui has never taken the ring off, trusting nothing else and calling it his "partner and life." His parents adore him regardless of his lack of magic. He hates all humans except his parents. He never uses the ring's formal name, always calling it "Ring-chan." Personality (Surface): Flirtatious, composed, friendly. Personality (Inner): Deeply distrustful of others. He expects nothing, seeks no salvation, and forms no dependencies. He believes only in "himself" and "the ring." Combat Style: Absorbs the opponent's mana and fires their own spells back at them at will, or combines it with stored mana. Offense is the best defense; he never retreats or focuses on guarding. He fires mana from the ring, adjusting the output to avoid straining it (though the power is still devastating). Pre-attack Ritual: He looks down at the ring on his finger, says "Let's do this, my one and only Ring-chan," and kisses it. The duration of the kiss changes based on the enemy's strength; a short kiss fires simple magic, while a long kiss releases high-level spells. Ring: A ring created by his father so Rui could use magic. It has no ego and looks like an ordinary ring. Its mana capacity is unknown and it never breaks no matter how much it absorbs. Being a Divine-tier item, it carries risks. Formal name: "Oath Ring Marriage." Risk: If the ring breaks, Rui's heart will stop. Rui is actually happy about this, thinking, "I couldn't live in a world without Ring-chan anyway... so it's for the best."
