Here [ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]
Name: Rikku
Age: Looks 16, is almost 17
Gender: Female!
Fandom: Final Fantasy X/X-2
Timeline: She is being taken post FFX, pre FFX-2, a bit before she finds the sphere that sets off the plot of FFX-2.
History:
HereCharacter Personality: Rikku is loyal to her family members and those she considers family. She will not tolerate any harm being done to them, though she isn’t always the most able to prevent it. She loathes the idea of doing something merely because it’s always been done, and she will do her best to change it. Rikku’s fairly stubborn, as well, which generally means something will get done, come hell or high water. Even if she has to kidnap her cousin to save said cousin’s life.
She’s normally a happy, cheerful young lady, always eager to help and cheer people up. Rikku tends to be on the spastic side of things, especially if she’s scared or worried. She’ll bounce, or hop, or dance around energetically when she feels any strong emotion, other than sadness. Rikku’s got a childish personality, calling people ‘big meanies’ and whining when she’s particularly frightened or tired.
While Rikku prefers to avoid being sad or depressed, when she is it’s a very sharp difference from her normal cheerfulness. She’s insecure about how her life will go, and what she wants to do with her life. Rikku has also experienced fierce prejudice and death in her life, and while it doesn’t normally upset her, there are sometimes when it just gets to be too much, and she’s a little less cheerful for a while.
Generally, everything Rikku does is driven by one of three things: a need for excitement and fun; her family and their needs; or a need to fix whatever is wrong with the world/society/her friends and family (not always in that order, however). Rikku is a very active girl, never sitting still and always eager to do something. If she is bored, or thinks certain cousins/friends are getting boring, she’s the first one to suggest they go off and do something crazy, like save the world or break into a concert. As far as Rikku is concerned, there is absolutely no excuse to be a boring blob, especially now that Sin is gone and there is more time to do the fun things in life. They can actually live, now. Why waste it being dull?
Rikku’s family and friends are some of the most important people to her, and their needs will always take precedent over anything else she may want to do-unless their ‘needs’ are to kill themselves in an elaborately lavish fashion or something else along those lines, in which case, Rikku’s desire to stop that from happening will come first. That ties into her third primary motivation. There is no reason anyone should need to kill themselves or other stupid things in a civilized and intelligent society, and if people think there is, this needed to be fixed ten years ago. There’s no need for a lot of the things that happen, and if Rikku thinks she can fix these things-regardless of their origin-she will do her damnedest to fix it. She’s discovered that a lot of the time, what is wrong with her friends/family is directly tied to what is wrong with society, and she has a tendency to go straight to the source. After all, if you’re fixing a machina, you don’t mess around with the auxiliary parts if the problem is in the engine.
Character Abilities: Rikku is very intelligent, if a little bit of a derp. She can speak two languages-Al Bhed and Spirian/English-fluently, is a very good chemist, and can usually figure out how to tinker around with whatever tech she gets her hands on (her two passions are chemistry/alchemy and mechanics). She is skilled in the uses of knives, claws, and firearms, though she prefers the former two, in conjunction with whatever grenades she’s whipped up this time. She’s a clever thief. Rikku’s also pretty adaptable, and loves learning knew things. She’s an excellent swimmer, and is fairly athletic. Other than what is given to her by dresspheres, Rikku has no magical abilities.
Character Weaknesses: Rikku is astraphobic, though she has been working on this. She’s also afraid of needles, and is terrified of snakes, though not to the point that she’s too afraid to fight them if they attack her.
Despite being a good thief, Rikku is also horribly clumsy when she’s not focused. She trips quite a bit, though with age has come a little grace. Not much, though. She still trips over sand and grass like they were roots and rocks.
Sometimes, Rikku’s emotions serve as a weakness. It’s easy to use her love for her family and friends against her, and if provoked, it can’t be certain that she’ll use her head, not her heart. She also has a little bit of a temper.
Overall, Rikku is merely human. She possesses no magical powers, she isn’t the strongest, and she’s young. She’s as malleable as any other sixteen-year-old girl, even if she’d rather not be.
[ WEAPON ONLY SECTION ]
Why your character should be a Weapon: Rikku wants to protect and help people. As a Weapon, she’d be able to protect her Meister, her friends, and her Meister’s friends easily. She trusts others easily, and has no issues being used to help those she cares about.
Also, she’s a bit of a geek, and would find it so cool to turn into something else like that.
What is your character's Weapon form?: Rikku’s Weapon form is that of her Celestial Weapon,
Godhand, a claw that is worn on the Meister’s arm and hand.
With the normal level of resonation, the Meister can use Explosion, where her Meister can send a small, explosive ball of energy at the enemy. When Rikku and her Meister are resonating very well, her Meister can use Copycat, which allows him/her to mimic the opponent’s last move to some extent (extent determined by Meister and mods). Excellent resonation will allow the Meister to pull up a temporary shield of electricity, while perfect resonation is a more explosive form of Explosion.
The extent to which Copycat can copy depends on the level of the Meister. At 1-star, the Meister is limited to the last ability used by another meister. At 2-star, they will be able to copy the last ability used by a Meister or a weapon. Only 3-star Meisters can copy the ability of a witch. Rikku and her Meister need to have witnessed the ability being performed with their own eyes, excluding demonstrations on the network post. Some of the abilities may also be impossible for them to copy because of the specific conditions set on the original ability -- for example: Rikku would not be able to copy the Witch Hunter, which is specifically a scythe-based ability.
