NPC Friends and Family:

Letitica Decor("Delight of Beauty"); Mother:  Ritus's mother is a gifted artist with a gentle spirit and a kind heart.  She owns a museum in Sinclair District and is very popular.  She has light brown hair and bright emerald green eyes.  She mostly keeps to herself,  far to busy to deal with Ritus.  She loves him dearly,  but sometimes Ritus wonders if she really does.

Morsus Decor("Pain of Beauty") Father:  Ritus would rather his life not involve his father...he is a business man,  owner of a grand hotel,  but also an undercover mobster.  One night, while making a surprise visit to his father's hotel,  Ritus witnessed a group of mobsters totally trashing the place.  Ever since then,  Ritus has had a great dislike for his father.  Morsus is 6'5" with sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

Niteo Certus ("To shine undoubted"), best friend,  Niteo is a quiet, refined, cold guy.  However,  with Ritus all that changed.  Ritus,  through his charm and wit, managed to break Niteo's shell at the young age of five.  The two have been inseparable since then.  Niteo stands 6'2" with dark brown hair with natural auburn highlights,  and reddish-brown eyes that have a dark outline around them.



Appearance: Ritus stands 6'2" and is rather thin, but not too thin. His eyes are dark blue and his eyebrows are somewhat thin, as if he's plucked them (which he hasn't). His face is slightly anguliar. His hair is dark blonde with light blonde highlights. He keeps it cut rather short, but spiked up in a trendy fashion. He is very handsome, more with a feminine beauty, than masculine. When he was younger he was always teased for his girly looks, but now that he's older it benefits him more. His nose is rather small, and slender, which makes him look even more feminine. He is always seen with a sexy smile on his face, for no apparent reason. His best friend Niteo says it makes him look like a male hooker looking for a job (^^') Ritus has a thick Australian accent, but uses no slang. His accent is his best feature, of many, and is always a lady pleaser. Ritus can usually be seen in leather pants and a trendy shirt. He has a fondness for jewelry and can be seen with leather wristbands and a black string bearing a small black disc with some sort of emblem for "sorrow".

Personality:   Ritus is very presumptuous and a bit egocentric.  He can seem rather harsh,  never biting his tongue  when his opinion is wanted.  Ritus is very popular, but doesn't have many close friends.  He feels that he can trust very few people since he found out about his father.  Ritus is very passionate about three things;  music, his mother, and Niteo.  Without them in his life, he would probably be cold and angry.  Ritus believes that life should be led to the fullest, as if you could never go back.  He expresses his deep thoughts in his music.  Mostly,  Ritus plays his flute or the piano,  but he has a beautiful voice that his mother wishes he would use.  Ritus can be rather loud and outspoken when he feels comfortable,  but if he is around people unfamiliar to him, he is quiet,  before warming up and becoming the center of attention.  Ritus' best friend is Niteo Certus.  A very quiet, refined type of guy,  with a love of motorcycles,  and a very low tolerance level.  Ritus is constantly reminding Niteo to "lighten up" and have fun.  He thinks he's beginning to wear him down,  but who knows?


History:


Ritus' mother and Niteo's mother were best friends in high school and college.  Canto moved on to become the wife of Glorifico Certus, a military official.  Letitica longed for her best friend and not long after married Morsus Decor,  a rather rude man, with a dangerous temper.  She soon became a talented artist, and with the help of her husband,  started a very profitable museum.  She was very happy and still remained friends with Canto.  Life could not be any better.

On the eve of their third anniversary, Letitcia told her husband that she was pregnant.  Morsus was shocked and thought this was a futile attempt to copy Canto who gave birth to her second child a mere year before.  Letitcia insisted that she was telling the truth and demanded that Morsus be a good father to their unborn baby.  He reluctantly agreed.  The following nine months were painful, more mentally than physically.  But with help of Canto,  Letitcia gave birth to her first child,  Ritus.  He was the most beautiful child she had seen,  and vowed she would love him forever.

It was fate that brought Ritus and Niteo together.  The two spent practically their entire lives together and never kept anything from eachother.  At times Ritus was jealous of the bond that Niteo and Effor shared,  but soon learned that Niteo was his brother,  even if not by blood.  He decided he did not want someone younger than he to grow up with what he dealt with at home.  The fights and arguments that left him crying on Canto's shoulder.  Niteo's mother was worried that Ritus would suffer from depression and become suicidal,  so she did what she could to make him happy.  He spent weekends and summers and most other holidays with the Certus family,  which pleased him very much.  If it wasn't for them,  he may have run away ages ago.


Canto taught Ritus many things during his childhood.  The gift of prayer and meditation, as well as the art of music.  He loved the flute the most and piano was a close second.  When not with Canto and Niteo,  Ritus spent countless hours in deep meditation and practicing his flute.  One night after a rough 3 hours of meditation (his father had come home angry and had a fight with his mother),  Ritus heard a voice.  It sounded distant and weak,  and even foreign,  but Ritus got the message.  He vowed to protect and love everything around him,  and he was blessed with the bracelet of Meditation.  He knew Niteo had received the same power,  and asked him what he should do.  In front of his best friend,  Ritus became the Knight of Silence & Meditation,  Chintia Kamen.


Chintia Kamen, Kamen of Meditation


Senshi Name: Chintia Kamen
Power: Silence/Meditation
Colors: Pale Blue/Pale Yellow
Items: His flute, nicknamed "Dakryo" or "weeping";  his extends to a fighting staff if he decides it too, it also is the source of his attacks.
Attacks:

"Still Sorrow";  10% damage to opponents.  This attack has a duel effect.  On one hand it can calm an enemy down into a lull,  long enough to use a more powerful attack, the other it stops an enemy completely.  This effect usually only works on weak enemies or when a stronger enemy is not paying attention.  Chintia holds his flute level with his face and a single tear falls down his face.  He then shouts out "Still Sorrow" thrusting a pale blue light at the enemy.

"Irenic Display";  20% damage.  This attack is Chintia's dangerous attack,  being that it does a substantial amount of damage,  and because it takes a lot of energy for him to use.  He begins the attack by standing perfectly still while a yellow light emits from his body.  Then,  he whispers "Irenic"  while yellow orbs circle his body rabidly.  He holds his left hand up first absorbing the power from the orbs,  then his right hand moves behind his left and he smacks the orb like a volleyball shouting "Display".  This attack is nearly unstoppable because it is so fast.
