Riku gives off a very mature, calm air about himself, he’s got the quick mind, the skill, power, speed, and determination to make anyone admire him and he knows and it shows. But that’s only a cursor glimpse, he keeps up appearances since he feels that’s the only way to keep his friends. However there was a deep lying insecurity within him, that should the people around him grow stronger then him. They would no longer have need for him and abandon him, solitude, abandonment those were his greatest fears and he fought long and hard to stay stronger to keep those feelings away. For whatever reason Riku never seemed to be able to tell the difference between popularity and true friendship and this was a problem that his time with Maleficent increased.
With his experiences within Castle Oblivion, and under Mickey’s kind, wise care Riku has grown from his insecurities. Most of his personality is intact, and he enjoys being the best from just the notion of being the best. But he understands what true friends are, that he doesn’t have to hide his pain or confusion from them. When he chooses to protect someone he stays by his duty until he feels he has completed it. Whether it’s guiding the person home, protecting them from assassins or just being there as company. He still hates to be alone, but he understands now that physical separation doesn’t automatically mean an end to friendship. His ability to nurture or create is still a little awkward; he’ll willingly protect others and let them grow in their own way. At least so long as he feels that there is a reason to, his friends are his universe he has no time for anyone else.
But that’s not to say Riku doesn’t have a playful side, he does. Though he’s often treated as the group leader, when it comes to fun, he lets Sora or Kairi take the lead. Whatever amuses them, he will find some part that he feels comfortable with and join in. He’s prone to verbal teasing and can give and take it easily but won’t touch on topics that hurt a person’s feelings. An example would be swimming, if someone never swam before he would tease their reluctance, however if someone never swam because they nearly drowned as a child… He would be more considerate and offer to help them overcome their fears, but he would not tease them about it. Riku typically behaves as the older protective brother towards those who need him. But in the end it would be preferable then his darker angel of vengeance he can become when he is moved to fight cruelty.
Sins: Sacrificing his world for a chance to escape, leaving the people he knew and grew up with to die. Believing in the Lies of others and allowing his jealousy and insecurities to take over.
Powers: Dark Firaga, which is a blue colored fireball attack. Dark Aurora, which is a forcefield that causes whatever hits it to bounce back towards the aggressor. Dark Aura, Riku disappears and starts rushing by from different directions constantly for five turns aiming for his opponent, finishing it off with a dark blast of power from five dark holes in the ground that confuse the enemy. Dark Break, he takes to the air and jumps down upon his enemy jumping up and down repeatedly stabbing his enemy in the head. Opening Dark Doors. Cure Potion, heals one person. (In KH1, and CoM the name Dark Aura was used for the same attack however in KH2 the name was applied to the Shield spell. As such I changed the names a bit so it would be more clear what he was using)
Weapons: SoulEater: Looks like a black and red dragon wing.
Retained power/weapon:
As a Damned: Riku keeps SoulEater and all the attacks he had while serving Maleficent: Dark Firaga, Dark Aura being what he is he already got enough stacked in his favor with his heighten strength, speed, agility, and power.
Journal Writing Sample:
It happened again... I tried so hard, gave up so much and still I failed. Sora... I was hoping that I could wake you up sooner if I brought Roxas to you. But I can't do that now. I guess you're just going to have to sleep a little longer then what I was hoping for. Take care Sora. Sweet Dreams.
