Abilities and Fighting Style:

• Magical Abilities:
  
  • Blast Refinement: Ridial tosses metal ore towards a person. Mid-flight, they're enveloped in an explosion and changed into sharp steel shards.
    
    Acid Blood: Ridial proceeds to create a cut on his finger. He then utilizes the blood in order to draw a glyph into the air, which he inserts a vial of acid into. A few seconds, red shards of crystalized acid fly out towards the targets Ridial chose. The shards melt upon impact, though the acid becomes diluted enough that while it may cause severe burns, it won't seriously damage muscle or bone structure, or the internal body. It will hurt like heck if it gets into an open wound though.
    
    Light Refinement: Ridial proceeds to release crystalline shards into the air. The shards then grow, until they seem to be a bunch of mirrors reflecting the light to progressively higher temperature. Ridial can then redirect the light using the shards.
    
    Blast Furnace: An area comprising of a circle going about 6 feet of Ridial rapidly heats up. After a few moments, it suddenly explodes, causing a wave of heat and pressure to move outwards from Ridial's location.
    
  
  
• Physical abilities:
  
  • Ridial is trained within the use of his side-sword and dagger. He is quite proficient in both, as well as being accurate in throwing the various substances he has.
  
  
• Weapons:
  
  • Ridial carries around numerous vials filled with substances, including things like Acid. He also has several bomb-like objects, though their explosions won't be killing someone... breaking bones is still a possibility though.
    
    In addition, he carries around a black side-sword, the blade being a metallic red in color though. The blade of the weapon is also somewhat long, about 2.5 feet in length. The entire thing is created of some... metal obviously. Ridial himself isn't exactly sure what he synthesized together to create the material for his weapon. The weapon is rather light, and seems not to dull easily. It's also incredibly resilient, though sometimes it can make sharpening a pain. The weapon is equally useful for both cutting and thrusting. He also keeps a slim dagger strapped to his side, which he'll pull out if he believes his foe to be especially dangerous.
    
  
  
• Fighting style:Ridial's fighting style revolves around moving quickly, and keeping his enemy off balance. To that end, he employs numerous ways to upset his foe's footing, such as tossing vials of acid or other damaging materials he has synthesized. Quick, crippling attacks are preferred. To that end, Ridial will attempt to attack places that would incapacitate his foe.
  
  Should he require the use of his dagger, he'll attempt to enter close quarters to make full use of the smaller blade. Things such as aiming for the eyes, or tossing up dirt are in no way beneath him in a serious fight. His blows lack power, however, so he isn't one to try to out-muscle a foe. Often, he'll sometimes mix his alchemy in somewhere. This style requires a large amount of improvisation.

History: Ridial was born a regular human. His interest lay in alchemy since a young age. Stories of the Philosopher's Stone and all that rot, you know. What most people didn't feel like pointing out to him, as they thought he'd grow out of this phase, was that Alchemy was kind of... nonexistent in normal Earth. Ridial learned to hide his hobby, though, as the one time he'd gone talking about it he'd promptly been laughed at.

So, he practiced it in secret. Which is to say, he somehow found a way to acquire various materials and try to brew them in various pots and pans. One day, one of his concoctions decided to just... well, BOOM. There you have it, he's in Gensokyo. Or rather, the new, Youkai him was in Gensokyo.

Learning to live as a Youkai from being a human was somewhat difficult. For one, being a target of hostility from a race you formerly belonged to was somewhat disconcerting. Not to mention the new expanded lifespan. Of course, for about the first 60 years or so he tried to remake the blast that sent him to Gensokyo, in an attempt to return to home. All that begot him was face full after face full of soot, though.

Of course, one eventually learns to adapt to the situation. Ridial got used to his position as a Youkai, and blissfully went back to studying Alchemy. Seeing as he no longer had to worry about many things now, he began to be more laid back. His sword fighting abilities actually began on a whim of boredom. Although, Ridial quickly found out he had a taste for that particular ability.

His alchemy is still major, of course. Though he specializes in transmuting metals, he can also do other materials. But, now he's set to just drift around, enjoying himself

I'm going to need to have more on personality.

Please use the new format in your edit.

-Easy-going and calm are too similar.

-First negative trait and last negative trait are also too similar.

-It looks like you messed up the formatting in fighting style because everything is bold. Not a huge deal, but you should still fix it.
