Status: --- F-class tuner
Road: N/A
Tuning Information:
Believing that cello music is music straight from the soul, and that drums represent the beat of one’s heart and the pace of their life, he uses them to make the basis for his tuning. Being blind as he is, he listens to the rider’s ‘Soul Music’ and tunes to that. To him there is nothing more beautiful than a person’s ‘Soul Music’ and as such, after every tuning, he is very emotional. He tries to create the best possible parts by listening to his own ‘Soul Music’.

As an albino, he has bone white skin and hair, and is completely blind. He navigates by using every other sense of his to their fullest extent. He tends to wear black and grey clothing, and has only one necklace with a yin-yang on it. He also wears a black trench coat with a high collar that is buckled all down the front except when he is working. When it is open, one can see all the equipment a tuner needs in various pockets stitched to the inside. He almost never shows emotions except when extremely startled or right after tuning. When he wears headphones (only when tuning), they cover his ears completely and the band rests on his chest.
PERSONALITY
Likes:
‘Soul Music’
Dislikes:
Loudness
Betrayals
Bad music taste
Hobbies:
Composing Music
Fears: He fears the day he regains his vision.
Goals: To one day get the opportunity to create a Regalia.
Overall Personality:
Usually quiet and seems to be a loner, but to those that approach him, he is very open and friendly. He always helps those that he can unless they betray him. He formed his intense dislike of betrayal when he was 'abandoned' in Japan by his family, and dislikes it to the point where if someone were to betray someone else to help him... to say he would be angry would be putting it mildly. He sympathizes with lone children (as most storm riders tend to be) and usually tries to go out of his way to help them. Since one of his biggest fears is that of light, even though he is blind, he stays indoors during the day and is out and about during the night.
HISTORY
Birthplace: Born in Southern India, and moved to Japan when he was three.
Birthdate: January 20th, 1990
Birthtime: 12:43 AM
Parents: Srinivasa Ganesan and Kamala Srinivasa
Siblings: A twin, Shiva Srinivasa.
Overall History:
Rama, nicknamed after a powerful king that was loved by all in Indian lore, has always stood out. When he was two months old, patches of his skin started to lose pigment and his hair became white as he became an albino. Within a year, he lost his vision, and by the age of seven he was sent to Japan to live near the premier hospital studying treatments for blindness. From that point onwards he always felt betrayed by his family who stayed in India and developed an INTENSE dislike for betrayal by anyone (even if it was to his benefit).
During his time in Japan, he was always a loner since people didn’t know how to act around him. They would pity him or try to ignore him. Ever since then, he learned to be quiet and let people approach him. During this time, he learned to read people’s attitudes by listening to the inflections in their speech.
When he was nine, one of the researchers working with him to treat his blindness started to train his other senses to make up for his lack of sight. To do this, the researcher introduced him to tuning ATs.
When he finally heard the ‘Soul Music’ for the first time, he broke down crying as he realized that this was what he missed- Beauty in the world. Since then he put his whole heart and soul into AT creation and tuning.
When he turned 15, he realized what a blessing that he had received from being blind and being sent to Japan. He finally forgave his family and first started to compose music. Then his first and only fear formed. He though that if he regained his sight, he would lose his superior sense of hearing and that would be the ultimate loss. To this day he has nightmares of light.
Roleplay Sample:
Rama calmed down and focused. This was his last day of trying to hear the music within his own body. He had six hours today and if he didn’t succeed, he would have to forget the months of training that had been put into getting to this instant. When one researcher failed, the next came… as if they were in a never-ending line. With each researcher came new methods and new training… and months of waste.
He shook the distracting thoughts from his mind as he listened to the drum that was beating in front of him. Slowly, his heartbeat slowed to match it. He could feel the vibrations traveling through the air and brushing lightly against his skin.
Suddenly, an idea hit him… no it was not an idea, but more like an intuitive leap. He stopped actively searching within himself for the ‘Soul Music’ and instead just surrendered himself to the beat of the drum. From deep within him, something other than his heartbeat started resonating with the drum. Soon he couldn’t even hear the drum and instead heard only the beat within himself.
Like layers being added one on top of another, the bass beat was soon accompanied by a melody… then a harmony formed… now a he could hear a complex counter point to match it. It was too much. It was beautiful. He couldn’t just stay on the surface, and instead dove into the heart of the music.
He could feel the grain of the wood on his palms, smell the cologne of the researcher through the pervasive odor of disinfectant. It was amazing. His white eyes were wide open as he wept for the second time in his life. The researcher smiled and placed in his hand the motor for an AT. He could finally hear it…
