Name: Riku Kichirou
Race: Human
Hometown: Bevelle
Age: 18
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 148
Appearance:
Riku's face is normal that of an uncaring teen, however beneath his exterior is that of a solemn and devoted individual. His dark black hair is quite long and drapes down his back. Three large bangs are draped across the front of his face, almost hiding his deep red eyes. Aside from that, Riku is around 5'8", not too towering, but also not too short compared to other people. His apparel is nothing short of what you would consider a noble to look like. His top consists of a blue vest with golden edges that line the color as well as the straps holding it together. Underneath this vest is an almost robe-like top that is of a white color with the same golden edges. His shoulders are draped on both sides with flaps of armor covered in a blue material. His arms are covered with arm guards that have a similar blue color as the rest of his attire as well as the typical golden embroidery on it. A red sash is wrapped around his waist as a reminder of where he came from, however more so to keep his sword in place at his side. His blade is quite ornate, probably an honor blade form his family. The blade is just as deadly as its looks as Riku had an adjustment made to it. The hilt contains a retractable chain he may release whenever he pleases to capture a fleeing enemy. His pants are a somewhat baggy black and are usually tucked inside of his brown boots.
Battle:
An honorable swordsman who doesn't hesitate to protect those he believes are in danger. His movements are so swift that he could disarm his opponenets before they can even blink an eye if they give him the chance to. He has no knowledge of magic and this tends to be a bit of a downfall as he constantly has to be on the look out for a way to even battles.
Personality:
Riku is a calm and collected person most of the time. This mostly comes from his pride and heritage from being born in Bevelle and being a 'child prodigy'. He doesn't talk much to anyone and tends to let his actions speak for him, although on rare occassions he will speak. He has rarely become close to anyone in his life other than his parents as he considered everyone that served under him as precious pieces to a chess game rather than friends or comrades. It would be a minor set back to lose any of them, however they could be replaced.
Biography:
Riku Kichirou began his life as a simple child within Bevelle. At an early age, Riku was fascinated by the military that their nation possessed. His father was also in the military and was sergeant of one of the local law enforcement divisions. His parents felt that the best idea was to indoctrinate Riku into the military academy which Riku greatly accepted. He began attending the academy and strived to learn every aspect of it. Only the nobles were able to achieve any officer rankings and Riku was lucky enough to be in that category, however there were other things that lead him to his prominant position.
He learned military tactics and modified them in such a way that even threw his instructors for a whirl. He was considered a military master mind. A child prodigy most of them began to call him as he scored incredibly high on all of his exams. He was top of his class by the end of his years at the academy which were cut short due to his brilliant mind. In only a year he surpassed his own father in ranking and achieved the rank of a Captain. While greatly proud of his son, there was an ever growing jealously of his abilities.
He realized more and more as he served under the military that things weren't right. His subordinates were usually older and seemed to dislike taking orders from such a young person. The life almost became a hinderance for him as he realized he was slowly becoming unwelcomed in the ranks. As much as he enjoyed it, he began looking for alternatives and eventually became almost obsessed with that of the summoners. He couldn't even be one as he hardly could even think of the incantations for learning magic, however to be a guardian for one would be something totally different. He could get away from the negative reception he felt which would be all he needed to continue on.
