Before all else, it should be noted that each of Breath of Fire game features an entirely different incarnation of Ryu, though all of them are pretty much identical in most aspects. To start, Tiki and Ryu are seemingly normal humanoids who can transform into dragons at a moment's notice, granting them destructive new abilities and enhanced stats across the board. Depending on the time and setting, they are either portrayed as two of the last members of their dwindling kinds or as part of a divine species of dragons altogether. In addition, Tiki's initial appearance in Shadow Dragon and Ryu's BoF 2/3 incarnations initially portray both of them as young children (who are still quite capable of serious combat), before undergoing long timeskips to their adulthoods, where they are naturally far stronger and more mature than they were before.
