Canon: Blazblue
Age: 23 derped
Point Taken: Post-Calamity Trigger
Background:
Ragna used to live in a church with his siblings Saya and Jin. He was watched over by Nine’s sister and Jubei. He was the eldest of the three so he had the responsibility of taking care of Saya when she was ill. He had no time to play with Jin, so Jin slowly strayed off the path of sanity. Jin grew jealous of Saya because he had wanted the attention that Ragna was giving her. One day Jin attacked Ragna, hacked off his right arm, burned the church down, and kidnapped Saya. Ragna was unconscious for ten days following the attack. Rachel gives him the Grimoire so that he could survive. He suffers from heterochromia. His left eye became red due to him being a half vampire. It is implied that he was bitten by Rachel. His arm has been replaced entirely by the Grimoire.
After he regains consciousness, Jubei teaches him how to use Armagus. Jubei stresses that the power of the Armagus is not his own and he shouldn’t rely on it. During his training, Jubei gives Ragna a coat and a blood-scythe. He explains that it was originally from a man named Bloodedge and he was a true hero. Rachel begins to address Ragna as “Ragna the Bloodedge.” Ragna leaves the church and begins to search for Jin. He intends on killing him and he won’t forgive Jin for destroying their peaceful life. Ragna then sets out to destroy various NOL branches making him an SS Class bounty. He gave himself the title “The Grim Reaper” and he is feared by the cooperation who basically owns the world.
Ragna is essentially the Black Beast’s body. If he fused with the heart (V-13) at the cauldron, the Black Beast would be reborn and thus the world would be looped again. The six heroes would re-emerge and the world’s population would be destroyed again. Ragna is known as “The destroyer of the world.”
When he comes across the cauldron, he nearly fuses with V-13 and almost becomes the Black Beast. The loop was broken when Noel Vermillion pulled him out of the cauldron before they fused together. The real mastermind was revealed to be Terumi. He had possessed Jin at the start of the story and he was the one who presumably attacked the church. Ragna swears to kill him but he is stopped by Rachel.
Personality:
Ragna has a foul mouth. He often draws attention to himself whether he intends to or not. He’s vulgar and can sometimes be inconsiderate towards others. Ragna can be stubborn to the point where it’s annoying. He’s highly self reliant and he will often refuse the help of others. He hardly ever plans ahead for things and he’s just the type of person who deals with what comes at him. Ragna’s “Charge ahead” attitude often gets him into trouble, but he can find his own solution to them by using his own brute strength.
He may have his ideals straight in his head but he is prone to distractions. He is never completely focused on the same thing for too long. His mind tends to wander in various directions and he hates that. Ragna curses himself for being too nice to other people because that’s not what he’s supposed to be in the eyes of the public. According to the public he’s the strongest bad guy, and he wants to keep it that way. He’s cocky, arrogant and he wants to live up to his own standards.
He’s a laid back character considering his position in the game. Ragna is the most wanted man in the world, but he doesn’t seem to care much about that. Instead of wasting time worrying what other people will think of him, he’ll set goals for himself. Ragna disregards other people’s opinions and places his opinion before theirs. He knows how to take a joke or two in a friendly manner. He may be social but he isn’t always in the best mood.
Ragna can be obliviously stupid at times. He easily gets provoked and he often starts arguments for no apparent reason. He constantly calls Rachel a rabbit because of the way she ties her hair up. Every so often he’ll address her by her real name but it’s highly unlikely. He is educated and you can see it in his speech. He has a large vocabulary set and he's seemingly educate. I'm going to speculate and say that he was educated through Rachel. His attention span is quite low and he finds it difficult to follow along to conversations. He's usually misunderstood and he's easily pissed off.
It’s in his nature to rebel against any authority that stands in his way. His reasoning for this may be because he grew to hate everything after he failed to protect who and what he cared about. He had no time to think or react. Losing everything, and being unable to preserve everything is what Ragna feared. It is because he has ‘weaknesses’ that he puts on a mask. In reality he not a bad person, he feeds Taokaka meat dishes and he won’t lie about anything. He may prefer to keep some things confidential though. He’s often misunderstood by the general public as they think he’s a scary demon with no morals. He is far from what you would expect from him.
Earlier in his life, he was a big brother to both Saya and Jin. He can understand compassion and sympathy. An example of this is when Litchi asks him to let Arakune live. Litchi was straightforward, honest, and Ragna himself admits that he is no match for it. He lets Litchi have her way and wishes her luck saving him. “You’re soft brother” Is how Jin would explain this phenomenon.
Abilities:
Ragna’s quite powerful as he was trained under the direction of Jubei, one of the six heroes. He has access to one of the imitation Grimoire’s. It serves as a replacement for his missing arm and as one of his weapons. Being a half-vampire allows him to channel Seithr into his Armagus more efficiently. He has enough strength to take down squads of soldiers. Ragna’s main element is darkness. Since he essentially is the body of the Black Beast, his attacks consist of summoning parts of it. As a last resort he will transform his body completely into pure darkness and use it as a weapon to attack his enemy.
He obtained the Blood Scythe through Jubei. It’s capable of sucking the life out of the enemy’s stamina and adding it to the wielder. The Scythe is normally in the form of a giant sword.
