BioThe Character: Riku
What Series is the Character from? Kingdom Hearts series
Physical Appearance & Personality of Character: Looking like he just stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine, Riku is someone people notice when he enters the room. Tall with an athletic body, bright green eyes, and long silver hair, he’s the kind of person women swoon over as he walks by in his jeans, black shirt, and jacket (or just about anything else for that matter).
He’s received many compliments over his looks and cool and collected personality and he takes them in stride, thanking the person and smiling gently. Known to few people, while he wouldn’t give up his looks, he considers it a curse at times and wonders if people like him for who he is or only for what he looks like.
As a result, he can be wary about who he opens up to. To strangers, he can be aloof, almost cold. While willing to lend a hand and approachable enough, he keeps his distance and carefully judges the person.
However, if he decides the person is trustworthy enough, Riku will open up, letting his quick-wit and snarky sense of humor sneak in and caring personality shine through. To those who become his closest friends, he’ll defend them mercilessly and do anything for them.
But no matter how close someone becomes to him, there are still some obvious aspects seen by all. Riku is a hard worker, willing to put in extra hours to make sure something is done correctly. Unfortunately, this can result in arguments between him and his peers as he is prone to taking unconventional (though very viable) routes to accomplish something and is very stubborn. But he’ll allow himself to be humbled (he’s seen the damage excessive pride can do) and come to an agreement on things. As much as he likes being right, he knows he can’t be correct all the time and is willing to learn from his mistakes.
But as good and caring a person as he is, to anyone who wrongs him or his friends, they better be prepared to face his wrath. Deeply protective of his friends, Riku will not stand for anyone hurting them in anyway and will fight for them (physically or verbally). To anyone who betrays him, he’ll have no qualms against cutting them out of his life.
Background of Character: Hailing from a wealthy family, Riku lived a privileged life growing up, though also one with a lot of pressure. A single child, it was expected for him to be the best at everything. As a result, it gave him a large range of experiences (swimming, boating, and sword-fighting being his favorites) as well as a strong work-ethic. Never wanting to disappoint his family or his friends, he strove to excel at everything he could.
The only thing he ever disappointed his family in was his love of traveling and writing. While he was expected to run the family business (a fishing company), Riku wanted nothing more than to travel across the land, meeting new people, and writing about his experiences. He was almost obsessed with the idea of traveling around the world and upon leaving high school, packed up his bags, kissed his parents goodbye, and left his home.
Ending up in Metropolis, he picked up a position as an intern at the newspaper in hopes of eventually becoming a journalist.
