Nickname: mycket liten kung-- This is the nickname Ryce had as a child, means 'the tiny king', because he was allowed to have much authority at a young age, and and was that the servants of the house called him. Isen Kung after he turned about fourteen, this meaning 'Ice King' because of his strange ability to put a chill into the individuals around him, and also the cold attitude he seems to have about most of life's matters.
Age: 25 years old.
Birthplace: Helsingborg, Sweden
Sex: Male
Occupation: He is a 'businessman'. He is very wealthy and has his hands in many projects, many of which seemed benefical to the town, state and country. However, if one were to dig deeper, and it is not something that is advised, because those who do seem to mysteriously 'disappear', they might discover that Ryce is involved in what would be considered 'shady' business, such as dealings with the black market and so on, it is where a lot of his money comes from. He moved to this town two years ago and since then has discovered, though how he never will say, that there are several..supernatural entities about. Thus he came out with a line of defense products to protect innocent humans against them. Of course the products don't really work, but those that are desperate will try anything, so he has discovered. He also has been researching smaller business run throughout the area and slowly and systematically running them out of business. Why? Because he feels he can.
Appearance: Ryce is a tall gentleman, standing at about six feet, four inches tall, and he has a pair of wide shoulders. His build is a lean muscular sort, he doesn't have a lot of thick muscle on his body, but he wouldn't be one that could be called 'scrawny' either. His hair was a golden color when he was younger, but as he got older, it darkened to a dark blonde or a light auburn, opinions on the exact color tend to differ, but Ryce still considers himself a blonde. It falls down to a bit past his shoulders, riddled with waves. It looks thick and luxurious, and of course Ryce grooms it merticiously, it never looking dirty or greasy. Dirty hair is one of his many pet peeves. His eyes are a deep green color, often described as 'jade' colored. His features look solid and strong, and he has an air of..power about him, like many powerful influential people do. He tends to wear suits most of the time, and of course top dollar ones, he wouldn't be caught dead in a suit that wasn't name brand. One little oddity about him: He is never seen without a pair of white silk gloves covering his hands. Some say it is because he's a clean freak and the thought of germs on his skin disgusts him, others believe it is just because he likes the feel of silk. Hard to say what it is for certain, because no one has yet dared to ask him.
Personality: It would be difficult to ask anyone else about Ryce's personality, simply because he is so private. He is a control freak, in all aspects of his life. If he feels something is slipping out of control, the results won't be very good at all. He has a short fuse, anger being about the only emotion it is very obvious he is experiencing. He tends to do rash things when his temper is lost, but usually by running damage control after the fact, nothing too bad tends to result from it. He hides his other emotions behind a mask of impassiveness, and even though he does have a reputation publically of being a fair and 'good' businessman, there are those that are led to wonder if he even cares about anyone, because of the way he acts. Really, he doesn't care for many but himself, and has the viewpoint that if tables were turned and he was the one who needed help and such, every last person would blow him off and leave him to die, this more then likely due to his upbringing. He is also slightly obessive compulsive, having to check things again and again, and doesn't tend to have much trust in his subordinates, always checking their work to make sure they aren't trying to screw him over. He comes off as a 'wall' so to speak. Hard to get past and damned impossible to penetrate.
Special abilities/talents: He attended Jönköping International Business School, but besides that, no 'special' abilities or talents.
Supernatural Affinity: Species/Group: Human Power(s): no supernatural powers Level: N/a Affiliation/Rank:N/a Preferred Prey: N/a
History: Son of Halsten and Birgitta Dettman, Ryce was born at a hospital in Helsingborg. Both parents had high profile jobs, his mother being a lawyer and his father a doctor. Ryce came as an..unexpected surprise, when each parent was in the height of their careers. Thus, they really didn't stop for their child. Of course he was provided with the best care money could buy, he raised by nannies, he rarely saw his mother and father, and when he did, they were pushing him to be the best at everything, just like they had been. He was a lonely child, provided with everything he asked for, but he had no friends really, and those that he did become close with he ended up being hurt by, thus souring him against people in general. He discovered at a fairly young age he had a head for business, so decided that would be what he would go to schoool for.
He attended Jönköping International Business School and worked hard, passing easily and was in the top of his class. Due to the individuals he met when school, he was able to establish quite a few ties overseas, in the United States. At the tender young age of eighteen, he started building his 'empire'. By twenty one, he had made quite a bit of money and decided to leave Sweden totally. There was really not much for him there, and he believed the real money could be made in the states. So that was where he migrated to, and by some strange twist of fate, decided on this little town.
He purchased an eerie mansion that most would swear was haunted and moved in, forth with. Though he was a skeptic when it came to the supernatural, through a series of events he will not divulge, he uncovered the existance of many strange..entites. Thus came his line of 'protection' items, that were quite popular, just because it was something the humans of the town had a need for.
Flaws: Compulsion - Ryce tends to be a bit obessive. He tends to check things at least three times to make sure they are the way they should be, and he checks everything that his employees do, because he is very very sure that they are trying to cheat him. He also cannot stand being dirty, which causes the amount of laundry he grows through in a short amount of time to be rather large.
God Complex- Ryce, since he has had so much success in his endevours, has developed one of these nasty things. He is quite sure that no one could ever take him down, and anyone that tries will be defeated rather quickly. Whatever he is really invincible or he just hasn't met any really formidble opponents--only time will tell.
Obsession - It isn't often that Ryce's attention is ensared by anyone, but when it is, that person will surely know it, because Ryce, like in other areas of his life, would be quite relentless with them, and even if he got told no, that probably wouldn't have much effect on him, because by that time he would have fixated on that one person and simply wouldn't leave them alone. Not a good situation at all.
Unsettling Presence - Ryce seems to posess this, and though it bothers other people, he has this strange little half smile that pops up at the most inoppurtune times. It is almost as he enjoys making people uneasy, but it would probably be difficult to prove this.
Merits: High Pain Tolerance- As Ryce was raised, he was taught that he was a man, and men could take pain. He was punished if he cried, by orders of his father, so he learned to never do such a thing, and thus deveolped a high tolerance for pain, which has grown as he's gotten older. This is quite useful for him, especially in high stress situations where displaying that one is in pain, even if they are, would be a mistake.
Black Market Ties - Ryce has established these ties over the years, which of course help him tremedously, because without them he would probably be out a lot of money.
Reputation - Even though Ryce lets off an air of..coldness, strangely enough, he has a good reputation, it is said that he gives to numerous charities, has helped build a hospital and other things that an upstanding citizen would do. Thus many people would not believe that he could be doing some not so legal things.
Sexual Orientation: Ryce is homosexual, but this wouldn't be a fact he'd want to advertise. He isn't exactly in the closet either, but he has taken 'trophy' girlfriends in the past, simply so he wouldn't be asked any questions, but as far as sexual interest goes, it never has lain with the ladies, something Ryce is secretly ashamed of because he had been raised to think of it as immoral and wrong, but it is something he's grown accustomed to and considered it something he could not change even if he wished to.
