Name: Riku
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Canon point: Post KH3 Re:Mind DLC
Age: 18-ish...
History: Riku - Kingdom Hearts Overview - KH3 Story - Re:Mind Story
Personality: Please answer the following in no more than 3 sentences each
⬥ What does your character consider to be their top 3 strengths?
CRAU: N/AHis loyalty and faith in his friends is one of his most defining traits, as Riku has made multiple oaths and promises on various occasions and has learned from his lessons of how to not be a jealous prick. His strength is second, both in the physical sense and metaphysical; he hadn't lost his sense of self after being targeted and possessed by Xehanort and achieved Master status. And finally, his optimism is a new trait Riku's developing and taking inspiration from Sora, but is a powerful one as he believes that the best outcomes will prevail in the worst situations.
⬥ What do others consider to be your character's worst weakness?
Probably his willingness to do anything for his friends, because that would include throwing away his life and even his sense of self for them. Other than that, it used to be his ambition as that's what got him targeted by Xehanort and how he had a hand in destroying his home, but he's gotten better about that.
⬥ How does your character interact with others?
Sometimes it depends. For the most part, he is friendly, helpful or at least cordial, but there are times when he can still be quite awkward and not know how to handle himself around strangers. When around friends though, he's comfortable, teasing, maybe even a little playful and protective.
⬥ What motivates or drives your character?
His friends. They're his light and life and he will do anything and everything for them.
⬥ How does your character spend their free time?
LOL WHAT FREE TIME???? Probably training and organizing the Sora Search Party at this point in canon. For real hobbies (that go into headcanon territory), he probably would pick up a book, go for a run/swim, or if he's with friends, watch a movie or play a game.
⬥ What is your character's greatest wish?
Right now would be to find Sora. Really he just wants all his friends to be safe and happy and together :c
Powers:
Just gonna slap a bunch of abilities and proficiencies here too because why not...
Keyblade - One important aspect of the series and it's staple. Although not an ability itself, not everyone can wield a Keyblade. In a way they are bonded to their masters, and if a wielder gives their Keyblade to someone who does not usually wield one, it will return to the original master. The only official way that a person can wield one freely is if an inheritance ceremony would be performed, where the chosen successor can successfully hold onto the Keyblade. The main requirement that is needed for someone to hold onto the Keyblade is that they have strong and powerful heart, although it can be inherited through an equally strong connection with a chosen already.
Despite not being a specific ability on its own, a user can gain a number of abilities while wielding a Keyblade. The main function of the weapon is that it can lock and unlock virtually anything, including large scale instances, such as barriers in between worlds, to small scaled items, like locked doors to a room. Other functions of the Keyblade include the ability to be an effective weapon against dark creatures called Heartless, although it can also act as a beacon to attract these dark creatures. It is also extraordinarily malleable, able to change form by simply changing the Keychain at the bottom of the hilt. These changes allow the Keyblade to take on different properties and powers, such as enhancing magical powers or physical strength, as well as a different form. It's also been known to cut through nearly any substance. Like, what the hell Nomura....
Magic - Riku is by no means a magical powerhouse like Aqua or have access to almost every kind of magic like Sora. What he does have utilizes his darkness as a weapon and use it in his spells. Other types of magic that Riku specializes in are restorative spells, barriers and some that augment or power up his Keyblade or even himself.
Sensing - Many characters in the Kingdom Hearts universe have this ability. Although it's never really explained how it happens or what the feeling is like, the majority of Keybearers (people wielding Keyblades) can detect the amount of light or darkness in a particular character. For example, when Aqua met Kairi, she could tell that the other girl had a strong amount of light within her heart. Riku's sensing ability has developed in the form of an actual smell. Being so submersed in darkness allows him to detect it and actually use it as a way to identify people as well. He can tell the presence of a person or the strength of their heart if he is familiar with their scent.
Swordsmanship - Not necessarily an ability per se, but Riku has had almost years of training with a sword, although his skills with real ones might be slightly lacking. Ever since Riku and Sora were young kids, they would normally spar with each other with wooden toy swords. This training has made Riku something of a natural swordsman, and his skill has only increased since obtaining a Keyblade. He is not professionally or properly trained though.
Physical Prowess - You see the muscles on those arms? You don't get balloon arms like that from just loafing around. Riku's known to be one of the most physically strong characters in the game (at least compared to noodly-armed Sora), and he's not exactly a slouch on his feet either. His whole fighting style is hitting fast and hitting hard, and doing that all strategically.
Dark Vision - In addition to his Darkness sensing and due to his own training and utilization of his Darkness, Riku can actually see through the dark as well! It's not perfect, but considering that he spent a whole game with a blindfold over his eyes and didn't trip on anything or walk into walls, it's something to be noted upon.
Islander - IT'S TOTALLY A POWER OKAY. After spending practically all of his life on an island, he probably is a good swimmer, knows how to fish, how to boat, etc. He's pretty self-sufficient and will know how to take care of himself.
He's Legal - ...To drive I mean. Riku's one of the few characters who knows how to and has been seen driving a few vehicles in game. I doubt he's a mechanic or anything fancy like that, but the know-how to drive could be a big deal since we barely see any of the other characters doing it.
Inventory: Clothes on his back, Gummiphone and maybe a handful of now useless potions.

Congratulations, your character is accepted!
From the moment that Riku wanders outside, he may be able to sense that he's being followed. Trailing behind him is a shy Ralts, who keeps running to hide behind the nearest object whenever he looks back, even if she's actually bigger than said object. She just thinks that he looks so cool and strong and she wants to be just like him... if she watches him long enough, maybe she can mimic him! She will even come up to him with an offering of a flower if he'll take her under his wing and help her become stronger! :')
