Description For Kenexandrite 's Tiamat City.

Name: Risken "Risk" Ellis
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Birthdate: December 1st
Occupation: Hunter
Species: Human
Sexual Orientation: Asexual (currently)
Height: 5'08"
Weight: 127 lbs.

Likes: Fighting, Tiamat City, adventures, pranks, steak, mashed potatoes, his circle of friends
Dislikes: Criminals, corrupt Hunters and Huntresses, women flirting with him, the smell of whiskey, fried seafood (especially clams), Neo Fafnir City, Cedric's ukulele playing
Personality: Risken seems like a fairly happy-go-lucky prankster at a glance, usually sporting a big grin on his face.  But once you get to know him, he's got an angsty, broody side.  He's also a bit shy around girls who try to flirt with him.

Bio: Risken grew up as a poor child in Tiamat City.  Like many other children his age, he wanted to become a Hunter when he grew up.  His childhood was otherwise boring, if anything.

When Risken was old enough, he enrolled in the School for Hunters and Huntresses.  Though he didn't get the best grades, he was a bright student who tried his hardest.  He was also a bit of a rebel.  He gained a reputation for being a flirtatious badass among his fellow students.  With this reputation came popularity, and many girls crushing on him.  When he was seventeen, Risken himself crushed hard on a girl named Gwenifer who liked him back.  Unfortunately, Gwenifer had a toxic friend named Elaine Corbin who was extremely jealous of both of them, and was determined to keep them apart.  When Gwen tried to report her former friend to the authorities, Gwen was murdered in cold blood.  This caught the attention of authorities, and Elaine was incarcerated before she could place any death threats on Risken.

To this day, Risken still lives with the guilt of what happened.  He barely graduated the School for Hunters and Huntresses, though he's faring better now that he's not in school.  He blames himself for Gwen's death, and has sworn off dating and even flirting.  Risken started developing a fear of flirty women as well, something he's almost gotten over.  Still, he swears to protect the innocent so that the same thing that happened to him and Gwen won't happen to anyone else.  Despite all of his guilt, he's been using humor to help himself out.  He's currently the 37th best Hunter in Tiamat City, and is part of a team made up of his best friend and ex-vagabond Isaac Ardite, Marianne, and newcomer Cedric Ecoxroid.

Lately he's been having more frequent dreams about Gwenifer, almost as if she had never died.  However, these are just dreams and he's just been trying to ignore them.  Deep down inside, he knows something's suspicious.

Strengths/abilities: Risken is a crack shot with his dual guns, Risk Taker and Lawgiver.  Both have a rapid rate of fire, and he doesn't need to reload when using them.  Occasionally, he'll also carry a couple other firearms with him, like a grenade launcher or a flamethrower.  When he's not using his weapons, they magnetically attach to his belt.  He can pistol-whip if he's in a tight space. He also wears a pair of jet-boots that allow him to hover in place or glide.  Aside from that, he's a very fast runner and he knows a little parkour.

Weaknesses: He's not very good at hand-to-hand combat, to the point where he almost flunked out of school during his depression.  He's skinny as hell, so that's what gives him a hard time when unarmed. He can still perform some simple kicks, but it's not much. He also suffers from PTSD and guilt, so he has to take medication for it.

Fun Facts:
- Inspired by Axl (Mega Man X)
- He wears a lot of tattered/undersized clothes because he's poor, and not because he wants to show some skin.
- His backstory was based off of a nightmare I had once.

Edit 4: Minor info updated.

Thanks!  He probably doesn't think so.

His backstory isn't too over-the-top tragic, is it?

Just the right amount of tragic

Good to know.

I'm not really sure who in the cast he's friends with besides Isaac, Marianne, and Maple.

Not a bad idea.  I've got a couple characters who aren't currently affiliated with anyone.  I've got Arla, the rebellious Valkyrie, and I've got Esther, who's a full angel.  Risken, of course, would be afraid of them.  Maybe they'd be closer to Isaac and Marianne.

I like that idea. ^^

Thanks. I've sketched a couple new Huntress characters in addition to the ones I mentioned. Also, one's a ninja.

I really shouldn't have all these female characters around Risk. He'd be really uncomfortable. He needs more guys in his circle of friends.

How about Niles?

D-Prototype In reply to Kenexandrite [2016-10-02 01:04:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.  She's not just a ninja, but a scavenger ninja.

I can see that.  Niles only really has Dana as a friend, so I think it could work.

She's also got a pretty interesting weapon.  You'll see soon enough.

I think Risken won't mind Dana that much because he thinks Dana and Niles are an item.

D-Prototype In reply to Kenexandrite [2016-10-02 04:57:50 +0000 UTC]

As in, he thinks they're a couple.  So he considers Dana to be harmless towards him.

Also, he and Dana knew each other back in school. She knows what happened to him, and how he was humiliated for the rest of his time there. They didn't graduate the same year because Dana skipped a grade, while Risken almost flunked out during his depression.

Risken's school years are pretty sad in general, after the incident. He would have skipped a grade like Dana otherwise.

So Gwenifer comes back as a vengeful ghost.  Coincidentally, there's a prison break happening, and the girl who caused the couple so much grief is behind it.

She and her family are probably the most awful characters I've ever come up with.  Their abused robot slave doesn't count as part of the family, so he's okay.

D-Prototype In reply to Kenexandrite [2017-08-14 02:14:55 +0000 UTC]

Okay, true.  At least her family's all sadistic together.  It's kind of hard to compare anyone to Petrov because he's a fucked up dude.

He's the most fucked up character I have.

D-Prototype In reply to Kenexandrite [2017-08-14 05:04:03 +0000 UTC]

True that. Plus the worst part is that he hasn't been caught yet. Though admittedly it would be pretty amusing to see him hang out with Ether/Snotgirl, and see how fast he gets sick.

I'm probably gonna have Risken and ghost Gwenifer be the ones who take down the girl who tormented them so much, so that'll be their own karma situation.
