Background

Riki isn't related to Rei by blood at all, in fact he wasn't even officially adopted at first. Riki was found by Rei after one of his Hunts, Having slain the Horrors and found this your boy, maybe no more then 5 or 6, staring at him. After some deduction Rei found out the Horrors he had just vanquished where the boys parents. He was then taken in by Rei. At first,Riki needed a few years to become 'normal' again, after seeing what he saw. Rei viewed the kid as a troublesome brat that didn't know how to mind his own business, but eventually he grew attached to the boy. Riki would end up being trained by Rei and Tsubasa to become Rei's successor. Him and Tatsuya actually go way back. Him and Tatsuya met at about the age of 9. They were childhood friends, But during training they had become bitter rivals, one always trying to get a one up on the other, scraping and arguing even going into full contact fights which had to be pulled apart be Rei, Kouga, or even the both of them. Tatsuya and Riki would get over this eventually, Tatsuya had not only earn his friend back but now a fierce and loyal ally.

Kokujin-Byōtō City. Byoto was a city propped with the latest technology, low rent and plentiful jobs. It held dark secrets though. It's entire upper class was nothing but horrors led by a Great Horror: Hina no joō.

Hina no joō was a broodmother of Horrors used by the makai council for some time a extract a supply of Soul Metal for their knights. This was one of many but This particular one was unfortunately captured by Tamashi as he infiltrated the city as a fellow Makai Priest and started to sacrifice the remaining priests and knights in the city to Hina for followers and more horrors to control.

His three years would be spent eventually finding this city. Have to discover the terrors of the society of cattle that humanity was becoming in Byoto and fighting his way through to Tama and Hana to eventually eliminate both. Riki pulled this off with the help of Tonic, Yori and a few surviving members of the local order.

Special Abilities

Riki was Well trained in not only hand to hand but with his 2 swords, Learning most of what he knows from Rei before the title of Silver Fang was passed down to him, He is also rather acrobatic, Something else he learned from Rei

Riki has expanded his combat knowledge into being able to use his swords as combat yoyos in a way. With the combination of a soul metal cord attached to his weapons he now do crazy combat yoyo buzz saw attacks with them as well as alter the directions they fly.

Powers & Merits

Ambidextrous (2): Through extensive training with the Ginroken, he has learned to use both hands pretty well.

Burning Aura (2pts): The powerful aura that marks him as being capable of wielding the power of a Makai Knight.

Daredevil (3): You love to take risks, and are damn good at living through them. +2 Bonus when risking your life. This actually stacks with other merits (like Crack Driver), so you can be extremely good at risking your life. ...but if you fail you might die, so..

Luck (3): You manage to succeed in places when others fail. You can repeat three failed rolls per MISSION, one repeat per roll, and the second roll always stands.

Makai Will: He possesses the sheer force of will to use items made of soul metal, IE his swords. Soul Metal is a material that responds to the wielder's thoughts and strength and are powerful with spiritual energy attuned to the karma of the user, in Riki's case making even the armor painful to the touch for evil things (conversely soul metal charged with evil energy would have a similar effect on the righteous). Soul Metal is also dangerous to demons. To a normal human, Soul Metal would seem impossibly heavy.

Silver Fang: Can summon a silver suit of armor made of soul metal. When in his armor, his usual swords become curved like scimitars,doing much more damage to horrors and other demonic or evil enemies. These can be locked together to form a huge crescent-shaped double-bladed boomerang called the Ginga Ginroken.

Madouba: While armored, he can summon a Madouba, or Madou Horse, which has the potential to travel between realms (IE human realm, demon realm) and appear as sort of a sentient machine. Riki's Madouba is named Ginga.

Madou Fire:He can wreath his swords and armor in Madou Fire and melee with it or sling it from his blades to deal additional damage against demons and evil beings.

Unique Items

(Madougu, magical weapons or other unique or special weapons, as well as all techniques related to them, as without it technically the character is NOT able to use these abilities.)
Text goes here

Ginroken: Riki wields a pair of short swords called the Ginroken (Silver Wolf Swords). In their Normal form, these are shorter versions of Tatsuya's Nameless. When Riki dons his armor, the swords become curved like scimitars. These can be locked together to form a huge crescent-shaped double-bladed boomerang called the Ginga Ginroken (Silver Fanged Silver Wolf Sword).
Silva: Every Makai Knight has a Madougu, piece of sentient, talking jewelry. They act as assistants and have various abilities, Silva was once a necklace-type Madougu, but now set into the back of a black fingerless glove. Unlike other Madougu, she has a human like-face. She is composed in personality and behaves in a lady-like manner. Though her full abilities are unclear, she serves merely as both Riki's adviser and Horror detector as well. During Rei's battle with Gulm, Silva took a hit meant for Rei and was damaged as a result. By the events of Garo Special: Byakuya no Maju, Silva is repaired and converted into a pin that is attached to Rei's left glove. The name "Silva" means "family" in the old Makai language. She was passed down to Riki when he became Silver Fang. Silva is voiced by Ai Orikasa.
Madoubi: A big lighter that produces blue Madou Fire, which is used to read Orders Documents or create the madou fire techniques while armored up. If held up close to the face of a demon disguised as a human (or a demon that looks like a human), the fire's reflection in their eyes will make their eyes show their true nature.
Reverter: A healing potion. It is consumed by the Makai Knight and then the wound is bathed in flame from the Madoubi. When the fire burns out, it will have healed most minor to moderate wounds completley.
Soul Metal Cord/Retractor/Grappler: A cord of Soul Metal that Riki had wrapped in cloth to keep it from harming humans. While it is still heavy and dangerous, this cord has several functions such as binding up strong foes as well as being used like a whip or even a whip dart if one of the Ginroken is attached. Perhaps even a high strength climbing cord.
It also has a retractor ODM Gear style under his coat. Allowing him to quickly return the cord or even use the cord/Sword hook up to alter his jump directions and velocity.. Or do some crasy Scorpion from mortal combat stuff. It comes with a bolas style grappler as well for trying to subdue humans.
Soul Metal Rope Dart: This is actually hidden in the tip of his braided hair. A back up weapon but he's pretty much always armed.

Items Of Note

Phoenix Feather.: Grants the owner of the feather the ability to breath a 15ft cone of fire, however this has limited uses. Each time it's used, roll 1d10. On the result of a 1. The essence is used up and the feather can no longer grant it's owner that ability. Upon death the holder of the feather immediately releases a wave of fire from their body setting everything on fire. This instantly explosion cremates the corpse into a pile of ash instantly. This instantly destroys the feather as well; nothing stops anyone from resurrecting the body though if they are able to do so from "pile of ash" 15ft cone of fire

Weaknesses & Flaws

Compulsive Speech (aka Big Mouth) (2): He always speaks his mind for better or for worse.

Overconfident (1): Very Confident in his skills. This tends to get him in trouble

Geas (3pts): If Riki disobeys direct orders from the Watchdogs, disciplinary actions could potentially include his powers being sealed temporarily or indefinitely and/or other Makai Knights being instructed to capture or kill him. However the Watchdogs are, or were, mortal beings as well, and can be reasoned with or corrupted. Luckily direct orders rarely every come down in a form other than what horrors he needs to kill.

Time Limit: Can only wear his armor for 99.9 seconds. Even he will be burned by the soul metal after that time. There is also a very good chance of the armor taking him over and his emotions spiraling out of control, turning him into a berserker if he exceeds this time limit, turning them monstrous and makign them lash out at anything around them until the armor eats him alive. Only ONE Makai Knight has EVER exceeded the time limit, went berserk, and managed to recover; Tatsuya's father, and only once.

Maintenance: He needs to get his Madoubi refilled or fixed from time to time. He needs to have his sword purified on occasion as well, as demon blood will taint the Soul Metal over time. When he slays a horror, they become a tiny dagger called a Horror Blade, which he turns over to the Watchdogs. If a human is cut with a Horror Blade, they become the horror that the blade came from.

Makai Will: Soul metal acts on will power, among other things. If his will is ever broken, his ability to wield his weapons and armor vanishes until he can find his willpower again.
