Timeline Summary

-𖦹-

Ryan’s my main OC (if the username didn’t already give that away lmao) - he was a member of the Grey Deer both before, during, and a little after Julius Novachrono’s time as Captain in the squad, then later became a Wizard King assistant alongside Marx and Cobb.

He’s from a mediocre noble family in the Clover Kingdom and possess Eye Magic - though has very intense repercussions from using it, due to having congenital nystagmus (a condition he was born with where his eyes will constantly shake - the motion in his case being horizontally).

He’s a grumpy but observant individual, his magic allowing him to get a ‘window to the soul[s]’ of others - essentially a fancy way of saying he finds it easy to tell when people are lying or being ingenuine.

Despite his class and personality, he has strong morals when it comes to the treatment of others, though struggles to find his voice and stand his ground when defending someone.

He first properly met Julius when the latter became captain and invited him to his office, suspecting his magic would be useful to help sort through the paperwork he didn’t want to do. Julius was not off-put by Ryan’s formal nature and gloomy personality, so the two quickly became friends - meeting to sort through paperwork becoming a regular occurrence for them, with it being a reason for them to just spend time together.

Julius frequently helped him whenever the shaking got too bad by slowing down time on his eyes, which built trust between the two of them - and over a long period of time they fell in love. They got married after Ry caught the bouquet at Conrad and Lovilia’s wedding.

He was a mentor to William Vengeance and Morgen Faust when they joined the squad - finding Yami too difficult to deal with due to his disobedience and perceived carelessness. He also got along mildly with Jien Du due to his similarities with Julius - and even though they grew distant following his treason, he still visited him from Julius’ instruction every now and then. Marx annoys him for the sole reason that because he’s so rigid with responsibilities, he’s disturbed many of their lazy mornings lolol.

In the present timeline he is closest to Kaiser Granvorka, as well as Chronovala (as for a period of time he didn’t know she was Julius, and just met up with her to help with small tasks - viewing her as a friend he could vent to).

During the Eye of the Midnight Sun arc, he was one of the select few that were chosen as Royal Knights despite not participating in the exam, and was among the many possessed by elves. He wasn’t informed of Julius’ first death until a few days after, and left the capital abruptly with their infant son Tolomei upon knowing Julius’ physical state following his revival.

He lived in the common and forsaken realms of the country for a while alone with their son. However - during the year and three months before the events of Judgement Day - Lucius Zogratis visits Ryan and his nephew frequently, in an effort to convince his old childhood friend (as they had met briefly in their youth) and subsequent brother-in-law to join him.

Ry is willingly turned into a Paladin, possessing Poison Magic from it due to being bestowed with the purified devil Amaimon. When Lucius’ soul is exorcised and defeated, leaving Julius in control of their dying body, Ryan uses his most powerful spell along with the fading remnants of his poison magic to keep him alive until healing mages can get to them.

No longer possessing any magic, Julius resigns as Wizard King and lives in retirement with Ryan to raise Tolomei properly in peace.
