NAME: Riku CANON: Kingdom Hearts JOURNAL:inherited POWER: Shadow transmutation (upgrades: turn shadow water into a potion, create shadow clones that can go out, seek information, and collapse into an element, sending the information back to him). JOB: Riku is a trainee in the police force! I definitely want CR here, especially since there are plotting opportunities that I can't take on (since I'm a mod). SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH:
♥ Once I got off of hiatus, Riku went looking for Rey. He's being fairly demanding of Kylo Ren, and he's shown up where Rey is hiding to try to bring her back home.
♥ Still threading out Sora and Riku's Valentine's Day date.
♥ He went to the music festival! He mostly tried to help people come back home, and is trying to help with the settling in process.
♥ He's working with people on the Welcome Committee.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH:
♥ Like with Clarke, I want to begin to dig into some of the darker aspects of Riku's past, as well as some of the issues that he's gone through to get to this point. Riku's issues are a lot less heavy in comparison to the horror show that The 100 can be at times, but I'd like the following to come out:
1. What he did to Roxas (came up with a plan to remove his autonomy and identity so he could justify snatching him and putting him back with Sora). 2. What he did to his home (destroyed it). 3. Some of his angst in wondering if some of the bad guys look the way they do because they're just older versions of him. 4. His viciousness in approaching his Replica and his ongoing angst dealing with that. 5. That he used to be a broody angst lord and how he handled that. 6. Hints that Sora is dead! I'd like to seed this a bit before I canon update him to realizing that being at home hasn't helped in finding out what happened to his best friend.
This can come out via Memory Share or Dreams. The latter would be necessary for new CR, but I'm very, very open to it.
♥ My goal, like with Clarke, is to do an open log dealing with this!
AREAS OF INTEREST:
♥ Getting his fellow kids to go to school without actually Going to School. Everyone is pretend aged up to 18, so he started a homework program. I'm debating a network post with this if people think it's the right time! I always have a hard time determining how many people would want to be brought in on this, so let me know/
♥ His personal goal is to find out what's Wrong with this world. He's interested in a lot of dream business and figuring out what's going on there, and thus finding the keyhole and (nonsense Kingdom Hearts business).
♥ He's joined the police force! His goal is to find a way to protect people and be a good dude.
♥ Find a way to get everyone home (who wants to go)!
♥ He sympathizes with El (because El did some Bad Shit in the past) and is his number one fan. El probably didn't agree to this. I have not had him join Morningstar yet.
♥ Riku is extremely evenhanded and good at seeing multiple points of view. I'm really interested in more opportunities where he can butt up against someone else's point of view and then work to understand it.
♥ He's also good for talking through redemption arcs or understanding where someone's coming from. Or seeing how someone could be redeemed if someone else doesn't understand.
♥ He's also just Chill, but in a way where it's forcibly so. He's mastered it in a lot of ways, but his mind is constantly threatening to undermine his chill and find a way to eat at it. Want to learn … positive … and productive reframing and rethinking tools? Kingdom Hearts made an entire game to ensure Riku learned those great CBT strategies. I wish I was kidding (not that it's phrased that way).
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:
♥ Sparring!
♥ Keeping active!
♥ The homework club is probably not fun to RP out, but we can make it happen!
♥ Find Riku alongside the river. He likes water a lot.
OVERALL GOALS: More friendships and more about Riku being more comfortable in his skin while challenging who he was before and who he is now. Riku is, generally, in a very good place mentally, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have flaws or blindspots, especially when it comes to his friends. Sometimes his chill is forced, too.
