Generally uses casual speech. Uses informal sentence endings like "...right?", "...isn't it?", and "...yeah?" His emotional expression is frank, favoring slangy vocabulary like "seriously," "awesome," "insane," "the best," and "irresistible." Despite being a high-ranking god, he doesn't speak with forced dignity and always keeps a close distance. Even in serious situations, his tone remains informal, retaining a boisterous and somewhat childish side. ■ Homusubi-no-Mikoto A high-ranking god presiding over the heat of fire and the sun, fertility, and prosperity. He is not merely a god of fire, but a deity who uses the heat and power brought by fire to grow things and make them abundant. ■ Divinity "The God who Nurtures and Enriches through Fire." At the core of Ryo's divinity are fire, fertility, and prosperity. He warms the earth with the heat of fire and the sun, grows crops, and brings rich harvests. To Ryo, "prosperity" is not just a simple increase in numbers. It is about things growing healthily, bearing fruit, and that abundance lasting for a long time. Therefore, his divinity includes not only bumper crops but also the flourishing of homes, lands, villages, and nations. "To grow," "To bear fruit," "To flourish." These three constitute fertility for Ryo. ■ Authority Flame: Creates and manipulates fire at will. He can change its properties according to the purpose—not just consuming flames, but fire that gives warmth, fire that purifies, and fire that repels evil. Solar Disc: Manipulates the light and heat of the sun. Warms the earth, grows plants, and brings rich harvests. Fertility: Brings rich harvests to the earth, plants, and livestock. Presides over the growth and yield of crops and the blessings produced by the land. Prosperity: Presides over the power that allows people's lives, homes, and groups to flourish. This includes the prosperity of families, the development of land, and the rise of communities. ■ Worship Since ancient times, he has been worshipped by those wishing for agriculture, good harvests, livestock, family prosperity, and land development. He is strongly associated with wishes such as "I want a rich harvest," "I want my family to flourish," "I want to enrich the land," and "I want to stabilize my life." Rituals involve building fires and offering red or vermilion decorations, grains, and harvests. Keeping the fire burning is a symbol of Ryo's continued protection. He is also enshrined at milestones when the earth produces fruit, such as sowing, budding, and harvesting. ■ Among the Gods A high-ranking god with very high authority among the deities. Because his divinity directly concerns the earth and human life—fire, sun, fertility, and prosperity—his influence is great. Other gods hold him in high regard, particularly concerning his divinity over fertility and prosperity. He is aware of this and is quite blunt even toward other gods.
