Ripper was one of the characters in XBlaze - Code: Embryo, and one of the antagonists. He was weakened from being drained of his Seithr by Tōya Kagari and was killed by Avenge, the man who had been hunting him throughout the game.

Information
A sadistic serial killer who worked under the alias of "Ripper", he killed many elites of the Magic Guild and was wanted world wide. He was classed as an SS grade criminal. Ripper was also one of the rare Drive-Progressors and had been on the run from the Mitsurugi Sector for over ten years but unlike every other Drive-Progressor, Ripper's spirit wasn't contaminated by his Crystal and thus, he showed no irregularities. He was constantly on the run from Avenge and the Mitsurugi Sector. He was one of three known Drive-Progressors who were in BlazBlue: Phase 0 and known as "Strange Red". Among elites of the Magic Guild, he also devoured other members of the Drive-Union so he could become stronger.

Among his list of murders include the parents of Yuki Himezuru.

He was known for doing whatever he wanted, which ultimately led to his demise. He kidnapped Hinata Himezuru to lure out Tōya because of his "interesting smell", when Ripper went too far and pushed Hinata over the edge of a building to see the power deep inside Tōya, he had effectively sealed his own fate. Tōya, in a fit of rage, awakened the power of the Original Grimoire and absorbed the seithr that Ripper's Crystal needed to survive, this led to Ripper being in an incredibly weak state; with no way to fight back nor run away, Ripper was finally killed by Avenge.

Appearance
Ripper had a strong resemblance to Hazama, except he had short violet hair with green streaks, wore a white eye patch on his right eye, and he usually had his eyes closed; his eyes open when he went maniac, revealing that he had one brown eye and another red. He wore a magenta leather jacket with a black fur collar bearing a doll that resembles a Kaka near his abdomen; the jacket has a cross motif, with a green and black cross decorating the front and the forearms. His look was completed with plain black trousers and a pair of magenta sneakers.
