Profile

Ragne the Bloodege is the protagonist in the fighting series, BlazBlue. He is known as the "Grim Reaper" (or "Shinigami") and he has an extraordinarily large bounty on his head (in the trillions) placed upon his head by the Novus Orbis Librarium (NOL), the world's leading international authority.

Ragna's past is one of heartache and tragedy. When he was young, Ragna lived in a church with his younger siblings Jin and Saya, and was watched over by the sister of one of the Six Heroes. At some point, Saya became very ill and Ragna decided to look after her, and in turn spending less time with his brother. Jin eventually grew jealous of Saya for being able to spend a lot of time with Ragna, and he began to hate her.

Soon after Saya became sick, the church was burnt down by Jin and Yūki Terumi, who also cut off Ragna's right arm and kidnapped Saya. At some point, Ragna was bitten by a vampire, which turned his right eye red (causing him to become heterochromic) and turned his previously blonde-hair into white (He is still human however). He was later found by Jubei of the Six Heroes where he proceeded to train Ragna on how to control the power of his newly acquired Azure Grimoire which replaced his lost arm and repeatedly stated that although the item was a part of him now, the power was not his to command yet. For the next few years, Jubei trained Ragna to control the power of the Azure, being periodically watched by Rachel, who requested Jubei to take care of him. During the time, he met Taokaka as a child. When his training was at last complete, Ragna had finally come to the decision to depart on his journey. But before the three would part ways, Jubei took Ragna to the burnt down church and handed Ragna two items once belonging to a hero named 'Bloodedge': his jacket and the Blood-Scythe. Feeling the weight of the man that gave hope to the world and the Six Heroes, Ragna finally takes off, his training now complete.

Ragna has a deep hatred for the NOL, and travels from city to city destroying their bases; due to this, he has become a world-known criminal and has a bounty on his head "large enough to buy a small country", according to Jin. Despite this, he seems to travel through cities by night without much fear of being detected or captured by the NOL or any vigilantes.

Ragna is modeled after the traditional Japanese manga and anime hero. He is a young adult with white spiky hair and heterochromia: his left eye being green and his right being red, a side effect from Rachel's bite. His clothing consists of a hybrid of modern, futuristic and old features. He wears a vibrant red sleeved jacket with two long thin tails hanging from the back. Under it is a black shirt with three red belts. He wears a pair of black gloves with a red shell on the backs of the hands. His right arm is prosthetic after having lost it when he was younger. The shell opens up to reveal the Azure Grimoire whenever he utilizes it. He wears a black hakama and steel-toed red boots.

His weapon of choice is the Blood-Scythe, a weapon that supplements his ability to steal life force with each strike. The Blood-Scythe initially takes on the form of a giant sword with a giant slab of metal resembling a blade. The weapon can change into a scythe-like weapon to effectively steal more energy from the foe through his Drive, Soul Eater (which involves summoning parts of the Black Beast). One of the main reasons Ragna is hunted down is because of his possession of the Azure Grimoire (alternatively called BlazBlue) in his right arm, an incredibly powerful form of Armagus sought out by many which grants its wielder power from the Boundary. The Azure Grimoire enhances the powers of whoever wields it. In the case of Ragna, he enters a more powerful state known as Blood Kain, enveloping him in a dark aura that doubles his attack power at the cost of his life energy.

Ragna holds his younger brother, Jin, responsible for events that have played out in the past. Due to Ragna's intense contempt for Jin and Jin's warped, obsessive desire to kill Ragna; sibling rivalry has been taken to new, deadly heights. Their sibling rivalry mirrors that of Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear.

Ragna is an expy of Guilty Gear's, Sol Badguy. He holds many similarities in appearance, moveset, attitude and playing style. He a traditional "rushdown" fighter and his repertoire allows him to quickly close the gap between him and his opponent. His speed is average and he has a simple, yet effective, moveset that allows him to mount pressure on his opponents. Ragna has "bread-and-butter" combos which are easily strung together and also extremely effective. When used in conjunction with his Drive, Soul Eater, Ragna can absorb a partial amount of health back from the damage he has dealt.

Aside from his pressure applying tactics and life-stealing ability, Ragna has his draw-backs. Ragna has very poor health in contrast to other characters. This is supplimented by his Drive, but it should be noted that Ragna should not continuously put himself into a position where reversals can be staged. With a limited amount of overall health comes coupled with overall poor defence rating. Another thing to note is that Ragna has no projectile attacks, leaving him at the mercy of other characters who can attack at a distance.
