BACKGROUND:

Ryuunosuke @ Type-Moon Wiki | Light Novel Translations
Ryuunosuke is being taken from the light novels as opposed to the anime, though the only major difference is one scene in the anime involving the character Rin Tohsaka. Ryuunosuke never meets her in the light novels. His canon point is from before this occurs, but I wanted to make this clear for the sake of thoroughness.

PERSONALITY:

Ryuunosuke can easily be summed up with the phrase "cool." Everything he does is centered around the fact that it's "cool." For him, that's killing and creating "art" with his victims. He's always been fascinated with death; ultimately what he wanted was to understand death, to experience it as often as possible and have some sort of pretentious understanding of it that no one else has. Through the murders he's committed, he's not only learned the true nature of death, he's learned how important life is. Ryuunosuke is very fond of his philosophies and he'll happily discuss them with those he thinks might understand.

That doesn't mean that he's careless with what he says. He knows what he's doing is illegal and the majority of the murders he's committed are still considered missing persons cases. He's very good at disposing of the bodies and destroying evidence. He understands why he's not allowed to kill, but at the same time he sees no reason why he shouldn't. He enjoys killing, and he feels no guilt whatsoever about the actions he takes, including murdering his entire family. Ryuunosuke is perfectly fine with the idea of being caught or killed, the only reason he goes to such lengths to avoid detection is because he'd rather continue killing than risk punishment. He holds no fear towards death, and later on he thoroughly enjoys his own death. He gets a moment to marvel at the color of his insides and realize that this is what he's been searching for.

Ryuunosuke is a very laid-back person in appearance. He does get irritated and frustrated (usually at his own failures), but he never gets angry. When he returns to his "workshop" to find it in ruins, Ryuunosuke doesn't get mad. Instead, he starts crying. Seeing all his "artwork" destroyed was heart-breaking for him, but Ryuunosuke doesn't take it as a personal attack, instead seeing it as an attack on the art itself. People simply don't appreciate his vision; he understands this and accepts it for the most part, but when his hard work is destroyed, he overreacts to it.

While he seems to be a very emotional person; Ryuunosuke is faking emotions and normalcy. He understands what constitutes as "normal" and he does his best to replicate it so that he doesn't draw any unwanted attention. He doesn't need anyone knowing just what it is he does in his spare time. Ryuunosuke does a decent job with this when he's not incredibly excited - once he finds something "cool," normalcy goes right out the window. He'll gladly shout about just how "cool" something is, even if that "something" is a massive monster about to destroy the city. His emotions are very shallow, mostly just a mimicry of what he sees in other people, and excitement is the easiest for him to actually feel.

Prior to summoning Caster and witnessing the incredible things he's capable of, Ryuunosuke felt almost nothing. He experienced excitement while killing people which was another reason for his interest in murder. Even that was starting to lose its charm though, which led him to murdering his family just to see if he'd feel something different. Summoning Caster allowed him to feel excitement again. Otherwise he feels very little and being incapable of seeing the world as everyone else does leads to resentment. His thoughts fluctuate wildly, from claiming that the world is a beautiful place to insisting that everything is boring and people are horribly dull. Ultimately, Ryuunosuke really doesn't understand people. Emotions are difficult for him to follow and react to in others, which has forced him to keep people at a distance. This has led Ryuunosuke to become very bitter towards humanity. This is blatant toward the end, where he has an internal monologue about how stupid people are for having things like common sense. He's very angry at people in general, but it's so subdued that it's not something he's aware of. He genuinely thinks he's fine with his life and being different from everyone else.

Ryuunosuke is manipulative and enjoys tricking people into believing that he's normal. Making friends is very easy for him, though it's all very superficial. He can be quite charming and respectful - the only thing that might give someone pause is the fact that he doesn't always seem sincere. All of this gives him a momentarily thrill of having control over people, but ultimately it means nothing to him. Like everything else, the thrill he gets is short-lived and he's back to being apathetic quickly. Ryuunosuke isn't good at reading people which means that staying in the same area for too long is a terrible idea. Eventually it will become obvious that Ryuunosuke has no idea how to handle emotional situations and can only manage to act like he's normal if he's cheerful and upbeat. Reacting to anything else doesn't usually go over very well. His success at this has led him to become overconfident in his abilities when in reality, he's only good at fooling people because he sets up his interactions in ways that will allow him an escape.

Ryuunosuke doesn't believe he's crazy; he's just different. He sees the world in a way no one else can understand. Ryuunosuke certainly isn't sane by any stretch of the imagination. He's sadistic, cruel, cunning, manipulative, and clever; but he's also dreadful at pretending to be normal and almost completely apathetic without the ability to connect with anyone. Ryuunosuke will do anything to maintain his image of "cool" and find something that will give him a momentary thrill. In short, he's a serial killer who's a bit too excited about his "art"; he's a sadist who believes he's a philosopher. Ryuunosuke is a lot of things, but above all else, he's "cool."

POWERS/ABILITIES:

As a Master, Ryuunosuke has Magic Circuits that allow him to use magic. Unfortunately for him, he has no idea he even has these and obviously has no experience with magic outside of summoning Caster. While it might be possible for him to learn to use magic, he currently has no ability for it. Ryuunosuke also has three Command Seals, which allow him to give his Servant (Caster) orders which he cannot disobey. That's a completely moot point however, since Caster isn't here. Otherwise Ryuunosuke is a completely normal human without any special abilities.

INVENTORY:

▶ A scalpel.
▶ An ancient and worn hand-written book. It seems to be a guide to summoning a demon... or maybe something else.
...That's it, that's all he has.

MOONBLESSING: Iris.
