Character: Riku
Series: A*D - Angel's Doubt
Character Age: preteenish
Canon: The world of A*D is populated by rich people who do ridiculous things - case in point is the main character, Fourth Caluanthes, who spends most of his time and money traveling around eating delicious food and wearing gaudy outfits. He is a glittery island that stands alone . . . until his path begins to crisscross with one particular bleeding heart, Eiri Lawrence. But every glittery island needs servants, and Fourth almost always travels with two of them in tow.
Riku is one of Fourth's servants. He's a little scatterbrained, very clumsy and has atrocious luck. He's the kind of person who would bump into you, apologize, smack his head while apologizing, fall over and roll down a hill and into a river. But no matter what mess he gets into, he retains a sense of wonder and a cheerful attitude. One could say that his naivety and gullible nature is ever-present. Riku is fascinated with everything, from buildings and plants to rare birds. He has a perfect memory and can make life-like paper replicas of what he sees. Riku often gives these replicas to people he likes, well, he tries; sometimes instead he falls into a river and they're ruined.
Sample Post:
Oh, excuse me! I'm sorry for bumping into you, I didn’t mean to. . . . I ran into that very nice hairy purple man over there and he sort of pointed me in this direction. But then I tripped, and then a herd of cows ran by, and then I rolled down that hill over there, and then I was chased by bees . . . B-but it's really okay - I mean, I'm okay if you're okay! I don't have anything to compensate you with right now, but if we can just find Fourth, he can help us! That's really what I was trying to do before, see, we came for the crabs.
We were told that this place has the best seafood around! I knew we wouldn't be on the ocean because Fourth hates boats. He says that you can never find your feet, and your stomach runs away, and then you have to catch them, and put them back on and that it's really scary! . . . is that what happened to you? Ah! I didn't mean to be rude! It's just that you look like sailors. . . without any feet or stomachs or anything. I never want to go on a boat no. I can see right through you. Don't you get hungry? Do you have a hard time finding shirts that cover up your . . . hole?
Uh! Don’t worry, that’s okay! You can have this to put in your hole, to fill it up for now and when we find Fourth maybe he’ll have an extra shirt. Oh, no, this isn’t a real banana. It’s made out of paper, see? I can’t make real fruit, and if I just had a real one I think the hairy man might have taken it from me. He seemed like the kind of person who would like bananas. Anyway, just put this fruit in your hole and let’s go meet Fourth.
I can't wait for the crabs! We're going to eat so many of them! Eh? What did you say? I can't quite understand you. . . oh! You have crabs? Do you want to share them with us? I'm sure Fourth will pay you for them. . .
. . . oh, no. I don't think Fourth would want to do that. We've never put money in other people's pants before.
