Description

Ah, now I get to the newest OC of mine that I fell in love with~~ x3
This here is Rikiya, a Panther Youkai. He hails from the Clan of Death, though despite the name, he has the main element of Shadow to command~ This little kid here was involved in a very crazy plotline that actually involved Lyrica (since he was taken by the same group that supplies the Hapi Exotic Pet Store with, well, products). Initially timid and very scared of others because of the abuse he had been put through, he was adopted by one of the RPer's characters, at first as a pet (since he showed up in an animal/cub-like form), then later on as a son. (It's so sweet, their relationship is so very cute~~ :D)
Ah, but you guys will probably want backstory. This guy has a LOT of it. I consider him one of my main's now. xD

So, Rikiya here was born under the name of Siriki. As the crown heir/prince to the Clan of Death, he had a somewhat pitiable childhood, in that he was desired BECAUSE he was the heir, but not because he was there. Pretty much, his parents needed him to continue the family line. Ah, but he isn't a heir to solely the Clan just because of his blood. Within his Clan and many others exists beings known as Shadow Spirits. They're very powerful children that were directly created from the Shadow Guard and a few other Guards in order to guide those on Ceres, balance the world, stuff like that. Of the six, Siriki was heir to Swift, the eldest of the Shadow Spirits. Of them all, he was the worst, since his Wind Magic was very volatile and hard to control. As a result, not any old heir would do (as he would destroy the bodies of unworthy heirs if they tried to use his magic; not even on purpose, it just would happen). This made Rikiya very invaluable to the Clan, though as one can guess, he was very moody and a brat at times because of his upbringing. His parents are Sorose (he got a redesign that's pending~) and Vitali/Valdis (she will too, since she's out of the AU here) Sha.
At first, his parents treated him fairly well. His father was the one he looked up to most, since he would show him how to fish, how to hunt, play intruments for him, etc. They lived in Mira's Forest, where if one wasn't welcome or didn't know the right path, one would get lost and die in. Good times, right? xD
His mother was the head of the Clan. As time went on, and Sorose (who drained the pain and sorrow of the Clan) left the Clan, she began to treat Siriki and his adopted sibling, Dirge, terribly. Though he was heir, he wasn't particularly close to more than his brother, his family and a girl who was his bethrothed (that didn't pan out, heh). So while the abuse piled on, Siriki himself reached a breaking point. Eventually, he grew fed up with her treatment of them (him specifically) and decided to teach her a lesson. Up until a while ago, the Clan had been allies with some Mystics and humans that offered their sickly treatment (and Siriki himself, since he was a runt and got sick very often). Figuring that they were trustworthy, he gave them the directions to their new hidden location in the hopes that they might be able to cure his mother of her madness and give her a lesson or w/e (kid logic, huh?).
In the end, the Mystics brought in not doctors, but poachers to kidnap anyone valuable within the Clan. Of course, Valdis had figured out that they weren't their allies so much as looking to get something valuable themselves. Siriki himself hadn't known it though, because who tells a kid something like that?
The Clan ended up being burnt down, pretty much, with few survivors left from the ordeal. Of them all, Siriki, Dirge and the girl, Mikilira, managed to escape, though the girl cursed Siriki with 'The Murderer's Curse' (Rose Rot) because she witnessed him tell the Mystics of their location and decided to try and take revenge. After Siriki ran away, he was captured and taken to where the Mystics that had called for the poachers lived...with the help of his brother (once he was captured and brought in), he was able to escape and stayed hidden underneath a boulder in a forest for four nights before he was finally found by N'air and one of his allies... And that's how he came to join the group~ xD

~Shadow R/B
That's just basic backstory for kid Riki here~ He has waaaaay more storyline stuff after that.
As a Shadow Walker/heir, he's also prone to something known as the Wishmaster limitation. That being, Rikiya needed to make a Promise/binding contract with someone he was at ease with, could trust and was compatible with him before he reached 1 year of age, or his spirit would dissociate from his body and he'd fade. The person that rescued him in the RP (and later became his father) is his Wishmaster. It's soooo cute~~ I'll upload more and tell you guys more backstory soon~ x3
Oh yeah, and despite his appearances (and the sign), Rikiya is actually a hermaphrodite. So yeah. He prefers being called a boy though, and gets seriously pissed off if his feminine traits/lavender scent is teased. And yes, he has paw-hands and paw-feet~ x3
Ah, wall of text, how I missed you. xD

That's just the /basic/ backstory? If you ever compiled all your characters you'd end up with universes ^^ ...and novels.
