Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gaia Username: Dayiniyi.
Character name: Riku.
Age: Sixteen.
Sex: Male.
Location: Currently unknown; born in Destiny Islands.
Affiliation: Between light and darkness.
Physical Description: Riku is an average, Sixteen-year-old male. His skin is slightly pale, due to being away from the Desiny Island's sun for too long, however, it isn't sickly pale skin. Long silver stands of straight hair reach slightly below his shoulders, which broaden with every inch into maturity he takes. Falling over his eyes are some wayward bangs and strands of fringed hair that he often combs back with his hand so he can see better. Not too defined, but more mature than his younger comrade, Sora, he is the tallest out of his ring of friends, averaging at nearly five feet and six inches. Over his beautiful eyes is a blindfold, as dark as the abyss he can only see now. A small nose perched like a cliff over a duo of pale lips completes the facial description.
When not wearing a cloak of the Thirteenth Order, Riku wears a lightly padded black vest, zipped almost completley until it meets a split route near his belly button. Over this thin vest lies a sleeveless, beige-painted jacket, with a milky, yellow collar which points down, as origionally designed. His right arm is left bandaged, from an unknown incident that was most likely a battle or struggle. Beneath the clothing of the body, a dark belt can be found, which supports a pair of semi-tight blue jeans, tough enough to sustain damage from scrapes, rips and cuts. After this, heavy black boots that are hidden by the fringe of the jeans.
However, none of this is seen now. All that is seen is the face of the self-proclaimed, 'Wielder of darkness'. The man who stole his mentor's name, and who banished him to the World of Darkness.
He has come back in the form of Xehanort. This was to be able to fight and defeat Roxas by wielding the power of darkness, but he remains still in this form. Will he ever return to normal?
Weapon?: 'Soul Eater', later to be known as 'The way to Dawn'. Put simply, his weapon is the Keyblade.
Shield, Staff or Sword?: Shield.
Who are you?: I am a coward. I am a desserter of my friends. I am weak-hearted, and weak in general. I can't be trusted, I can't be counted on. Kind of like darkness, right? I am a person who sees only that black abyss, and needs the guidance of his heart. I am a person who's heart cannot be eclipsed by darkness. I am darkness in a way. I walk between light and darkness. Because I have a heart, doesn't mean I'm not heartless.

Sample: "Come on, Sora. I thought you were better than that.", mused the silver-haired teen. "Best two 'outta three. Whaddya say?" He raised his wooden playing sword again, in a challanging manner. It wasn't the first time he did that, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. The opposing child, with a spikey head of hair, was on his bottom, in a defeated position.

"Okay, fine. We'll just play pirates when Kairi gets here.", Riku decided, then sat on his bottom aswell. They weren't the only kids on Destiny Island that day; Without parental guidance, what seemed like millions of the little 'tots' were scampering about. They would play all day, returning to home each night to fuel themselves with food for the next day, which would follow the same itinerary as the last. Who could blame them, either? It was summer vacation, and there was nothing to be done.

Thinking on this, Riku began stare into the beautiful blue sky, as he often did. "You know what, Sora?", he interragated, but Sora merely released a tired and frustrated sigh as a response. Riku continued again, "I think we aren't all alone. There's gotta be places out there, out in that blue sky.. ", he lost himself in his own thoughts. With Kairi's coming to the Island, Riku had been thinking alot lately.

Where could she have come from? How could she have gotten here? There would be many questions like that, but due to Kairi's amnesia, none would be answered. Unless he got the answers himself.

"We'll go together, Sora!", Riku shot into a standing position, "We'll go to other worlds together.. You, Me, and Kairi."

Speak of the devil, Kairi could be seen, zooming around the papou tree, coming towards the two boys. Sora jumped up, waving his hands around. "Don't come any closer, Kairi! We've got a raving maniac on our hands!", he was indicating Riku. Kairi stopped, then laughed, putting her hand near her mouth in a familiar fashion.

Riku leaned over Sora's back, then pounced on him. He reeled his arm around the young, brown-haired runt's neck and put him in a headlock, persuing the headlock with a proper, customary 'noogie'. "I'm no more crazy than you are!" He then dropped Sora, and ran towards Kairi. Sora followed, and they engaged in a short race to meet their goal.

"We'll go together, Sora. We'll go to other worlds together.. You, Me, and Kairi."

Riku noticed a subtle cold on his skin as he began to regain consciousness, and also started to hear a constant, incoherent sound. He moaned, grabbed a blanket and rolled over, pushing a forearm against his ear.
"-on sunshine! Woo-oah! I'm walking on sunshine! Woo-oah! And don't it feel good!" the voice could be heard singing, and with reluctance Riku recognized the voice.
"Nnngh," he mumbled under the blankets, failing to get back to sleep. "Marly, would you just shut up?" he finally shouted furiously.
"And I don't want to spend all my life , just in waiting for- Oh, good morning, Riku!" Marluxia called cheerily.
"No thanks to you," Riku muttered with frustration as he sat up, stretching with a wide yawn. When he opened his eyes he wasn't at all expecting what he saw. In fact he gasped when he realized that Marluxia was not only singing, and grooming in front of the bathroom mirror, but happily dancing in the nude as he did so. "Wha- What in the seven hells do you think you're doing?!" he shouted out, stunned at what he was seeing.
"Hey, we're roomies now," Marluxia reminded him with a faux-warm smile as he glanced over his shoulder, pulling back his hair to begin sweeping it once more with his brush.
"Roomies or not, have some decency, man!" Riku countered with stunned frustration.
"Sheesh, one would think you've never seen a naked man before," Marluxia commented with an exasperated sign while rolling his eyes.
"Of course I have!" Riku responded definitely, "Er, I mean, I haven't- er, other than myself, that is... Augh, just shut up!!"
Marluxia stared at Riku for a moment, quizzically, before stating flatly, "I... haven't said anything, you've been fighting with yourself."
"Well, YOU'RE the one dancing in the nude where I can see you!" Riku responded indignantly.

Upon reading and much deliberation with self, have come to final conclusion.

Me vote Dayiniyi

XD I'm glad to see most people here are sane and NOT voting for me...

However, I must say that I'm not quite all that ecstatic about the chosen prompt sample... though I must say it's impressive enough that a prompt that didn't suck was found! ... Because, if you couldn't tell already, I suck at prompts... But anyway, I would be interested to see something a little more KHII oriented, and preferably something we don't already know about. I think everything else is quite well set up, though!

For now, however, I will be refraining from voting... because there's no way in hell I'm voting for myself in this situation!! >.>;;

I vote Zen! Riku seems a bit more real in his.
