NAME: Kouyama Riku
ALIAS: None
PHYSICAL AGE: 16
RACE: Magically-inclined human
SERIES:
HOME WORLD: Tokyo
APPEARANCE: Relatively short, Riku stands at about 5'8", and virtually incapable of building any muscle tone, his build is slight and boyish. His black hair lands in choppy layers around his somewhat round face, framing warm-toned brown eyes, and the darkness of it coupled with his clothing makes his peach-toned skin appear more pale than it actually is. Despite the youth of his features, his expression is typically cool and sober, indicating a maturity beyond his years.
His clothing is fairly unremarkable - casual and comfortable pieces make up the majority of his wardrobe, primarily in neutral colors. Otherwise, his only adornment is a pair of silver earrings, with the occasional - but rare - necklace.
PERSONALITY:
Riku much prefers solitude to company, finding himself quiet and reserved around others, often perceived - accurately - as over-serious, particularly for his age. He customarily distances himself from other people, both physically and emotionally, a trait which often makes him come across as cold, upon first impressions. "Cold" isn't entirely accurate, however; though few know him well enough to be aware of it, he has a strong sense of justice and an instinctive need to protect those who do get close to him.
Perhaps his greatest fault is his pride and his tendency to take on too much responsibility. Failure of any kind troubles him greatly, and he perceives it as a mark of his own weakness regardless of the circumstances. This presents itself as a constant drive to become stronger and further his own abilities.
It is worth noting that Riku has a strong aversion to physical contact.
