Brilliant, but Lazy: Manages to create a flawless magic barrier to prevent sleep disturbance.Break the Badass: Lucile did a mild form of this during their first meeting, and Ryner briefly flips out in his fight with Lir, after witnessing the slaughter of the Cursed Eye bearers.They chew him out for it afterwards and convince him that this was a stupid move on his part. Break His Heart to Save Him: Ditches Sion and Ferris while operating on this logic, knowing that being by the side of an Alpha Stigma bearer like him is dangerous (and, to Sion, a burden as a ruler).Not that Ferris is unintelligent, but on their journey for Heroes' Relics, it's Ryner who's the information expert, while Ferris is just there to keep him in line/provide muscle support. Brains and Brawn: Brains to Ferris's brawn.Boxed Crook: A light-hearted version, given that Sion wouldn't actually execute him and had been hoping to get him out of prison all this time, but see An Offer You Can't Refuse.Born Winner: Though it's noted that he's still a magic genius even putting his Alpha Stigma aside, and he did go through Training from Hell.Understandably, Ryner vows never to use that power again. Blessed with Suck: His abilities as The Solver of All Equations, as he can become an even bigger Person of Mass Destruction, at the cost of the life of someone important to him.Big Brother Mentor: A mild version to Arua, who looks up to him as a teacher.Berserk Button: Every time he's gone berserk (or nearly has) has been because he witnessed the slaughter of his friends.

He didn't have to be responsible for the lives of countless people, attempt to outmaneuver others, be willing to kill people, etc. Being Good Sucks: As Ryner notes, life was so much easier when he was Heroic Neutral.

Badass on Paper: See Shrouded in Myth below.Badass in Distress: When captured by the Remrus Empire.Badass Family: Just look at his parents!.Badass Boast: His Superpowered Evil Side has a sinister one.Back-to-Back Badasses: With Ferris in Episode 11.Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Has these moments with Ferris and Sion.Authority in Name Only: Despite being one of the kings of Sphelliyet, he's more of a figurehead than anything.After beating Quont, Quont's subordinates immediately starting deferring to him. Asskicking Equals Authority: Entirely by accident.An Arm and a Leg: Loses his arms thanks to Lir, but he gets better relatively soon after with Lieral's help.Appendage Assimilation: Using a spell, Lieral gives Ryner his own arm to replace the arm Ryner lost thanks to Lir.Anti-Hero: He can be rather cynical and apathetic, having already mostly given up on the world by the start of the series.Amnesiac Hero: See Laser-Guided Amnesia.Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the anime, he's a bit more openly angsty and suicidal, compared to the light novels where he was more desensitized to all the crap that he/other Cursed Eye bearers go through or, on occasion, simply didn't even brood on his situation versus in the anime.Accidental Pervert: Unintentionally ends up in a bed with Ferris.He is going on a journey to search for Heroes' Relic by Sion's order. He looks like a lazy guy, but is actually the strongest magician in his country. Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (JP), Ian Sinclair (EN)
