Appearance




Inforest, Riku sports the real deer mask, default antlers with candles, and the frosted pelt - though during special occasions or when he feels particularly threatened, he can be seen with the skull mask instead. However, in artwork and such, he should be portrayed with an actual deer face. Riku is rather tall and well muscled, despite his somewhat slender build, and can run farther distances than the average stag. Candles adorn his antlers, almost always lit, made to represent a change of his alliance, and he has a strange, black, symbol on the upper side of his left hind leg. He has long fur, his pelt a bit of a dark shade of grey, along with his legs and tail while his underbelly is a creamy white. He has pale, blueish green eyes, and long, silver hair that falls down to just above his shoulders. During Halloween, he can be seen wearing a black blindfold, though it is usually tied around one of the tines of his antlers.




Personality




Riku is cool, calm and collected - though it doesn't take an awful lot to get on his nerves. Oddly possessive of the few close friends he has, he shows a great amount of loyalty, and will go to the extremes to protect them. As serious as he may be, he does have a good sense of humor and can be a bit fatuous when the mood strikes. Betray him and you lose his trust, as he is not one to forgive easily; admittedly, it is harder to gain his trust in the first place, and even more difficult for him to open up. He can be quite territorial, especially over this tree near the pond. Even since arriving in the forest, Riku has become extremely curious about its origins and tends to wander about, exploring. Still wary of the forests occupants, he usually won't be the first to approach any deer unless necessary and keeps mostly to himself. This doesn't mean he himself is unapproachable, though, as he is accepting of almost any company.

It should be interesting to see how they react to one another inforest though Riku might attempt to abduct Roxas again.

This page just SCREAMS Riku. I absolutely adore this, and the simplicity is gorgeous too! Shocked Sooo le stalking this *rolls all over the awesome*

RIKUUUU Laughing out loud :D Laughing out loud I do have just one question though Heptade, if that's okies: I still need a link to his picto, and his set, for the directoy. No rush and no pressure buuut, if you could let me know sometime, that'd be awesomesauce ♥ CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AROUND LIKE, WHOA~ ♥

Zebbie: I'm happy with the way it turned out too, although I had to mess around with the CSS for a decent amount of time before I got it the way I wanted. -rolls with-

Oh! His pictogram can be found here, but as far as his set goes, I haven't really decided on anthing yet. I was thinking of the candle antlers with the grey pelt, but that's all. Still choosing a mask, preferably the skull/real deer, but those are a bit overused; I want it to be unique. Any suggestions?
I'll let you know his official set once I decide on something.

OokamiAzura: Y herro.
Thank you. <3

*Giggles* Oh lawd, isn't CSS

*Giggles* Oh lawd, isn't CSS so time consuming sometimes? :B Tee hee, it really did turn out epicly though-the messing paid off, for sure! Laughing out loud *rollrollroll* ♥

Oooh, thankies muchly! Laughing out loud Will add the picto to the directory now, I do enjoy this picto, it's very recognizable! :3 And aaaah okies, gotcha! Shocked Riku, Xigbar and Axel can run about being candle buddies :B *shot* Riku having defaults totally fits too, seeing as all the other younger KH characters have the beluga antlers. Grey pelt definitely suits in my opinion, too ♥ Perhaps for the mask you could have the orca/magpie/secretary bird masks~? Shocked However, somehow I can see Riku with the realdeer, regardless of how overused it is-I wanted to give Axel a different mask so he could be more original too but, somehow the realdeer just fitted him best out of the ones we have :B For some reason the kabuki mask springs to mind too, but I'm not sure why. I don't see Riku with the skull mask though really, for some reason-I hope these help, I ramble a lot :B

Eee take your tiiime, it's all good-look forward to your decision Laughing out loud

CANDLE BUDDIES. Xigbar set

CANDLE BUDDIES.
Xigbar set the Candle trend. You know it.

To make this post seem not-so-useless, I suggest the real deer and /or/ no mask. I guess it depends; does he have a deer face or human?

OA; Your suggestion made me

OA; Your suggestion made me laugh. XD
Riku would be stylin' with that mask, yeah?

Zebbie; Most definitely! It took me around an hour and a half, but only because my web browser kept on closing out for whatever reason. ><;

Default would go nice with him, and that's true; all the younger characters do have shorter antlers. I remember reading somewhere that in the KH world, the longer the hair, the older the character. Anyways, I can see him with the magpie or real deer, probably the real deer. Alright, that suits him: real deer mask, grey pelt and the default/candle antlers. His inforest set seems so boring, but his character design makes up for it.
I ramble to. :U

Pluxy; Xigbar did. Because he would.
Riku has a deer face.

SITTING BUDDIES ARE EVEN

One day, Xigdeer is going to divorce Axelmuffin. He can only take so many of those "old geezer" jokes.
And Axel will have to take custody of their bootylicious fawn.

As for Kairi, it took me a few minutes to realize it was her; I recognized the set, but not the picto.
Hmm, it was epic. <3

Zerg; Agreed!
We should do it again. Maybe we could get more Org. members inforest and have one big showdown.

OA; If it makes you feel any better, I was having an extreme lag, so it wasn't as awesome as it could have been. For me, at least.
Darn framerate. ;_;

Oi, I'm such a horrible person.
Kairi's just so nonexistent.


In a small, sunlit clearing, nestled in between two trees lay a brown stag, forelegs tucked neatly beneath him, hind legs sprawled out to the side. Blue lidded eyes gazed drowsily out into the undergrowth as he began to wander in and out of consciousness, the regular humming of the oak lulling him into a deep sleep. In a place as peaceful as this, it was gradually getting easier for Sora to let his guard down as there were such dangers as the one he'd grown accustomed to. As the days passed by he felt quite contempt with just lazing about, although the usual forest rounds were called for every now and then. Still, it seemed like ages ago since there last encounter with any Heartless or Nobodies -excluding the Organization, whose members were still found to be lurking about- and, though it put him at ease, it was somewhat unsettling; there were many mixed feelings regarding the subject.
He felt something stir besides him, bringing him back from his thoughts, and he glanced over to see the grey figure to his side scowl, clearly upset. With a small stretch, he lifted his head and turned to face his friend.
"Something wrong?"

Riku, stop whoring around

Riku, stop whoring around with all the frivolous young does and pay attention to 'yo man.
