Info on Ryo
Ryo is the unofficial leader of the Ronin Warriors and cares about his friends. Ryo has a temper and hit Yuli once, though Ryo has a big heart for his friends. Ryo can be impatient at times and goes on "guilt-trips" when his friends are in trouble. Ryo is totally indifferent to finery and fashion and is not comfortable in social situations. Ryo does love nature. Ryo is an orphan; his father was a wildlife photographer killed by a wild animal. Ryo's mother died for some reason? Due to this he is very caring. He hates to see his friends hurt. He would rather sacrifice his own life than see his friends get hurt. This usually leads to Ryo getting beat up badly. Ryo is the first of the Ronin Warriors to show up in the series, and naturally is the main protagonist. Ryo is also rash, easily excited, and provoked which makes him a good target for most traps. Ryo can be easy heal from any source of fire and he draws strength from fire. Ryo is nearly invincible in volcanoes or any intense source of fire. Ryo also wears the Armor of Inferno, which is formed by calling together the power of the Wildfire armor and any other 4 of the nine armors splintered from Talpa's armor. The Inferno Armor is immensely powerful. In fact its true abilities have yet to be revealed.
How Ryo got White Blaze
1st story -- Ryo is often accompanied by a large white tiger known as White Blaze. If Ryo is ever in danger, the tiger senses it and rushes to his aid.
Actually, Ryo has only been with White Blaze for several years. He met the tiger first when he was four, and again when he was seven, and then ten. It was during the winter, that Kaosu first appeared to him and began his training. In truth, it was White Blaze who led Kaosu to Ryo, White Blaze chose Ryo.
2nd Story -- White Blaze was the Ancient's helper. When the Ancient formed the group, White Blaze went to help and protect the Ronin Warriors. It doesn't answer why White Blaze is Ryo's friend actually. Maybe White Blaze likes Ryo the best?

Info on Rowen
Rowen, by Warlord definition, is "the most clever and dangerous" of the Ronins. This is due to his high IQ. It is said to be 250 or something. His IQ of 250 and this is really the basis of his character. A lot of things are accounted for when his IQ is taken into account. The catalyst for everything is that because of his intellect, he was treated like an adult by the other adults. Rowen didn't have any friends growing up because of the special treatment he had received. He was friends with his parents, but they were rarely around because they were married to their jobs. This made Rowen very shy and solitary.
Have you heard that Rowen sleeps in because he's lazy? Well, wrong. The main reason Rowen sleeps in is because he has a low blood pressure. Yeah, he does like to sleep, and he stays up until like 2 AM reading. I believe that he sleeps in because of his low blood pressure.
Well here's something that might blow you away... Rowen eats a lot. See, other than sleeping and studying, eating is another one of his hobbies (and yet he manages to keep so thin ans so good looking). He eats as much, if not more, than Kento, but unlike Kento, he doesn't talk about it.
Although he is deemed as the thinker, it is often Sage who comes up with the plans. Rowen's parents remain divorced. He is quite skilled at archery and is very determined to defend his friends for as long as he is alive. Rowen has no one person he attacks. He mainly launches an arrow at the nearest enemy. This includes Cale, Dais, Sekhmet, Anubis, and Kayura.
Rowen's Armor of Strata is moderately powerful compared to the other Ronin Armors. His weapon is a bow and arrow. A special quiver on his back produces arrows as he needs them and never runs out of shots. Rowen's special attack "ARROW SHOCK WAVE!" allows him to shoot one massive energy arrow at his enemies. This attack seems to gain more power the longer Rowen concentrates on building the attack. In addition to his armor and weapons, Rowen is not only the most cunning of the Ronin Warriors but the quickest as well. He never gets caught off guard and cannot be fooled by mind games. Rowen is cunning, intelligent, and a good fighter, he possesses no specific known weaknesses. And I love the blue hair!

Info on Sage
Sage loves to meditate and think up a plan. He's not the type to rush into things. Like his family, he is very skilled with the sword. It is said that he has hair covering one of his eyes because the sight of both of them is very intense and makes others fearful of him. ::raises one eyebrow::
Sage is often fighting the Warlord Cale. They are exact opposites of each other in power and looks. (Blonde and fair vs. Blue-haired and scarred)
Sage wears the Armor of Halo which draws power from light. His weapon is the Datchi, a massive battle sword. His armor has the power to heal others as well as the ability to create light. Sage's special attack is "THUNDER BOLT CUT!" which is a massive bolt of energy shot forth from his sword at an enemy. Other than his armor, intelligence, and fighting skills, Sage possesses few abilities.
Sage has few weaknesses. While he is intelligent he will sometimes spend too much time thinking which will leave him open to attack. Cale's powers over darkness seem to be able to fight Sage to a draw most of the time.

Info on Cye
Cye is very quiet and gentle natured. This is probably due to his upbringing by his mother and older sister. His father died when he was young. Cye is passive but will become fierce when something or someone he cherishes is at stake. He especially cares for his friend Kento and for marine life.
Cye often fights against the Warlord Sekhmet. It is the battle of purity versus pollution. When in water, nothing seems to stop Cye. However when he is placed on land, his powers are severely weakened. In the two episodes that he is in water, a whale shows up and swims by. This is his future companion.

Info on Kento
Kento of Hard Rock is the strongest of the Ronin Warriors. His armor is linked to the Earth which makes him incredibly powerful wherever he travels. His armor seems to be at maximum power in mountains and deserts.
Kento's powers are few but each is incredibly strong. First there is his massive strength. His weapon a three section staff has a good reach and is handled quite well by Kento. His special attack "Iron Rock Crusher!" causes a massive stretch of ground in front of him to rip apart destroying anything on it or above it as well as the ground itself. Kento's staff is blade tipped and has the ability to split into three sections. Aside from his natural fighting skills and armor Kento possess no other abilities.
While Kento is the strongest of the Ronin he is also the most weak minded. He is easily tricked by illusions and easily confused. It is best to play mind games with Kento before engaging him head on.
If there is one thing you learn best about Kento, it is his love for food and his love of eating food. He often inhales his food... This causes him to carry a bit more weight, literally, than the other Ronins. Kento also has a very bad temper. He is easily angered and enraged. Due to this, he is always first in line for a fight, often reacting without thinking.
Kento often fights against the Warlord Dais. It's the classic material vs. unmaterial world. The world of substance vs. the world of illusion.
