Riku Replica
Member Avatar

you;
name; Rhyme
contact information; melodiousrhyme@live.com
other characters; Rhyme, Shadow Link, Lord Ghirahim

basics;
name; Riku Replica/Repliku
age; In actuality, about a year old. However, he appears to be 16 or 17. 
occupation; none. He's just... a wanderer. 
race; Err... he's a replica created from data of the real Riku...?

in depth;
appearance; Riku Replica is a perfect imitation of the real Riku when in D Mode. His hair is jagged, silvery, reaching about to his shoulder. Repliku has aquamarine eyes that hide under his spiky bangs, and normally a serious expression on his pale lips. His skin is somewhat pale, despite the original having grown up on an island for most of his childhood. The puppet has a muscular build and stands at about 6'1. His outfit is a skin-tight bodysuit, ranging in shade from navy to dark red. The torso has a shade of periwinkle, with the Heartless symbol etched in crimson in the center. His boots are a rusty shade. A belt holds up an article of clothing that appears to be like a pale tan grass skirt with the tips being the same periwinkle on his torso. He carries a variation of Soul Eater, dark red at the hilt and fading into an almost-black shade of navy for the spine. The teeth of the blade are jagged but elegant, almost forming a heart...

personality; Repliku is very much an enigma. He has shown that he can be hostile when defending someone, but otherwise appears to be very indifferent. However, if one can touch his fake heart, he can be very sincere. The Riku Replica is extremely bitter towards Vexen and anyone who makes personal comments about his status as a puppet or anything of the sort. The fact that he's a replica tears him up inside. It's an insecurity he never quite got over. 
history;
History: His life. His being. His very existence. It was all a fraud, a fake. He was a fake. Just a puppet whose strings were pulled by the Organization. 

He was created by that one scientist, Vexen, from data of the silver-haired one in the basement of the large castle. Riku. But he wasn't Riku- just an imitation of him. A... replica. Riku Replica. He was known as that throughout his existence, constantly reminded of the fact that he wasn't real. He wasn't his own person at all. Everything about him was so fake- he was just their toy. A science experiment. That was a constant reminder throughout his time in the castle, especially after he lost to the original Riku. Larxene taunted, he insisted that the loss was only because he was inexperienced. The blonde suggested that they wipe his memories and make him believe he was the original Riku- the replica was frantic, desperate not to lose the only thing he really had a grasp on and owned- his memories. He protested and eventually attacked Larxene, but he was knocked out. Naminé rewrote his memories, and he woke believing he was Riku. 

He argued with Sora, saying that he would protect Naminé and fighting the Keyblade wielder. Nothing ever came of it. His memories were clear- he was Riku, he needed to protect the blonde. But his actual memories, his true self? It had all been distorted, muddled beyond belief. As the brunette continued his way through Castle Oblivion, things became more confusing. Each of them held one of the good luck charms and remembered making the promise. But... who was telling the truth, and who was lying? It was impossible to tell. 

On his last encounter with Sora, the two fought once more, and the replica had the upper hand. Just as he was about to destroy the other, however, his fake memories were shattered. He was shattered. The puppet fell, useless, and the truth of his origin was revealed. 

Later, he interfered in the fight between Marluxia and Sora. During the whole time, he protected Naminé and ensured her safety, though he knew his memories of her were false.  The replica left Sora and Naminé to defeat the real Riku, meeting with Axel to make this possible. 

He drained the power from Zexion, stole his very life force with Axel's consent. Meeting up with the real Riku in the virtual Twilight Town, he attacked and was defeated, though he utilized his dark powers and was sure that the death of Zexion would have strengthened him. He faded back into darkness after questioning where his heart would go. 

...but that wasn't the end. 

Axel had been watching from the sidelines. He'd seen the fight. Riku had left, assuming his doppelgänger dead. Things were never that simple, though. Of course not. The replica was transported back through a dark portal, to a safe place in the castle. A place where he could rest and heal again. Naminé fixed his memories once more, so he still held on to Riku's memories but held his own individual ones as well. He was kept in the castle for a while, until Riku's final showdown with Ansem had passed as well as Sora's with Marluxia. After that, the replica was taken to Twilight Town, kept in a house that was unoccupied. Axel told the replica to wait for him. 

But he never came back. 

The replica was left alone, wondering and waiting for a long time. He finally gained some info. Found out about the Organization's downfall... and Axel's. And the puppet was left alone once more, with no one to pull his strings and keep him up. 

Repliku travelled to The World That Never Was to see what was left of the Castle That Never Was, the place where so much had happened before the Organization's downfall. He was hungry for answers and details... and, most of all, what happened to Riku.
