Personal History: Repliku's page

Personality: First of all--as his name implies--the Riku Replica is basically a clone of an existing person, and a good chunk of his personality comes from that person as a result. However, while he and the original Riku are very similar, they do act distinctly different enough for people to tell them apart, primarily due to some memory tampering and generally traumatic events.

In the beginning, Repliku is confident to the point of arrogance, stubborn and aggressive. He knows that he’s a clone and generally why he exists in the first place, but these facts don't seem to hinder his ability to taunt anyone he thinks is weaker than him...which is just about everyone. However, he gets highly defensive if someone else mentions that fact, and is quick to reassure them (and possibly himself in the process) that it doesn’t matter to him. Basically, very cocky but also extremely insecure.

One of the first things he does in life is going to find and confront his 'brother' Riku. He's quick to point out how different they are despite their appareances by boasting that while Riku fears darkness and is reluctant to use it, he doesn't fear it at all and wields it freely, thus making him already stronger. At this point, he really doesn’t actually understand what wielding darkness fully entails, having only some memories of wielding it and none of the actual experience.

After he has his memories tampered with by Naminé, his personality aligns more with Riku's while he's working with Maleficent-- he forgets that he's a clone but 'remembers' Naminé, who he had really just met, but keeps his attitude. He becomes very loyal to and protective of Naminé and hostile to anyone who seems to be a threat. This includes Sora, who becomes a high-threat target in the Replica's mind, despite merely being a person of interest before the memory tampering and a good friend in his new 'past' memories.

As a result of this, the Replica fights Sora several times, getting beaten and retreating each time. Unfortunately for Sora, he's a sore loser, much like Riku, but has absolutely no qualms about fighting dirty, since the concept of a 'fair fight' doesn't really exist. He attempts to finish Sora when he's down after one of their fights, prompting Naminé to take action and knock him out with her version of a heart attack, which supposedly removes the fake memories she gave him. Later, it’s shown that this isn’t the case, because...

...While it ‘reveals’ to him what he actually is, he doesn’t completely forget the manufactured memories. He still feels the same way towards Naminé, wanting to stay by her side and protect her despite what she had done, but also doesn't resent Sora, since Sora isn’t considered much of a threat anymore. In fact, after being soundly beaten by the Sora-Naminé doubleteam, he gains a lot of respect for Sora, though he doesn’t feel he has a right to be Sora’s friend anymore considering how he’s acted.

Repliku’s final personality is a bit confused and fragmented. Most of the time, he’ll act much like Riku--cool and confident with a side of slightly awkward--because that's what he knows and what feels most comfortable for him. They're both fairly impulsive, but Repliku tends to act on said impulses much more often. Unlike Riku, he still has a much shorter temper and more aggression than the original and his confidence in himself more easily lost. He’s very possessive of things he deems ‘his’--clothes, food, random trinkets, friends--and is entirely likely to start a fight if he feels said things are in danger of leaving him. He doesn't trust easily, preferring to find things out himself rather than take anyone's word for information, despite any danger or risk involved in obtaining that information.

At his current canonpoint, he despises Riku. He's tried and failed to kill him multiple times and gone all in on a final attempt, which also failed, so he's extremely bitter about the whole thing and is determined to win on their next rematch somehow.

Key themes: identity, purpose in life, memories

Main Motivation: Naminé; also literally and figuratively making a name for himself

Skills: He fights with a sword (self-taught) with a style that focuses on quick, hard strikes. He tends to try to force his opponent into reacting by attacking first, and favors cheap shots, such as those to the face or back.

The most notable special ability of his is the ability to manipulate darkness to an extent. Explicitly shown in canon are the ability to create an armored semi-organic suit of darkness, create and throw darkness ‘fireballs', create temporary dark portals to attack from and move through, and slightly augment his own strength with dark power. He seems to also have the ability to absorb the powers of others, but is never shown actually using the gained powers. If Riku's ability at around the same level is any indication, Repliku also possesses the ability to identify others by darkness or light 'scent'.

Other than fighting and darkness, he doesn't have much in the way of special skills. General life skills--cooking, cleaning, etc.--are sort of fuzzy as he's never had to use any of them yet.

Item: His sword, Soul Eater, usually lives in KH weaponspace. I'd like him to have his version of Naminé's good luck charm in his bag though.

Sample: An old test drive toplevel for another game and one on this game's recent test drive

Notes: I don't think so?

Character
Name: Riku Replica
Age: physically and mentally 15, chronologically less than a month

Canon: Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
Canon Point: Just after his last fight with Riku

History: Here’s a wiki page!

Personality: First of all (as his name implies) the Riku Replica is basically a clone of an existing person, and a good chunk of his personality comes from that person as a result. However, while he and the original Riku are very similar, they do still act distinctly different, primarily due to some memory tampering and generally traumatic events.

He knows that he’s a clone and generally why he exists in the first place, but it doesn’t seem to hinder his ability to taunt anyone he thinks is weaker than him...which is just about everyone until they demonstrate otherwise. However, he gets highly defensive if someone else mentions that fact, and is quick to reassure them (and possibly himself in the process) that it doesn’t matter to him. He demonstrates this very quickly, meeting the real Riku before anyone else in the castle besides the Organization members.

When he confronts Riku the first time, he differentiates himself between them by boasting that while Riku fears darkness and is reluctant to use it, he doesn't fear it at all and wields it freely, thus making him already stronger. However, it’s entirely possible that at this point, he doesn’t actually understand what wielding darkness fully entails and just considers that Riku fears something that he doesn’t and that’s automatically a weakness.

He has his memories tampered with by Naminé soon after this meeting, changing him for the first time. He forgets that he's a clone, ridding himself of that anger trigger temporarily and also 'remembering' Naminé, who he had really just met. He becomes very loyal to and protective of her and hostile to anyone who seems to be a threat. This includes Sora, who becomes a high-threat target in the Replica's mind, despite merely being a person of interest before.

As a result of this, the Replica fights Sora several times, getting beaten and retreating each time. Unfortunately for Sora, he's a sore loser, much like Riku, but has absolutely no qualms about fighting dirty. He attempts to finish Sora when he's down after one of their fights, prompting Naminé to take action and knock him out with her version of a heart attack, which supposedly removes the fake memories she gave him.

CHARACTER NAME: Riku Replica/Repliku
CHARACTER SERIES: Kingdom Hearts

[OOC]

Backtagging: Yep, as long as I can still get my brain into what’s going on in the post/thread
Threadhopping: Give me a heads up first, then you’re good
Fourthwalling: Sure
Offensive subjects (elaborate):

[IC]

Hugging this character: If you’re a friend, he’ll probably accept it, but is very likely to call you a sap. If you’re a stranger, you’ll probably get pushed away (or he’ll attempt to push you away) and he’ll be confused. Feel free to hug!
Kissing this character: Same as above only with more violent shoving for strangers and possibly yelling.
Flirting with this character: Feel free! He’s bad at that kind of stuff though, so he’ll likely get flustered and angry, especially if someone points it out.
Fighting with this character: Yes please! Fighting is kind of what he was made to do and he will fight until the death if given the chance.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Up to and including broken bones is fine, anything more than that please discuss with me. No vivisection or severe facial injuries please.
Killing this character: Talk to me first.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: He doesn’t really have any mental blocks against stuff like that, so he’s free game for mindreading! Be warned that he’s previously had his memories heavily tampered with and it’s not entirely clear which ones are real and which ones are implanted if you go poking around in there.

Warnings: None that I can think of?

Step 3 | Voice/Action for a hotel in Goldenrod; backdated to May 11th

2014-05-14T06:42:07Z

[Good morning Pokéworld residents. Do you like eggs? Or random questions that don't involve a 16-year-old kid yelling at small birds?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you'll probably not hate this audio post. Not video, because it is morning and he just woke up and his hair is doing a great impersonation of a frightened cat.]

First of all, does anyone know how much it costs to rent a house? Because I think I could just about afford one with all the time I've been spending in hotels lately.

Second, apparently a couple of my team got uh...friendly with each other and I have a bunch of eggs I need to get rid of. Depending on who you are, I might cut you a deal on something, but don't expect anything.

[He shuts it off there.

About half an hour later is attached a text document with a list of the types of eggs and their move sets. The Nidoran section is labeled "Nidoran ? x 3" followed by the price.]

comments

Step 2 | Video/Action for Route 34

2014-05-05T02:46:46Z

[The audio is switched on a few seconds before the video is, so it starts with a lot of rustling sounds as Evan attempts to get his 'Gear out of his pack.]

Ah come on, what are you stuck on now? The one time she does something in--got it!

[As soon as the video is stabilized, it shows a Torchic and a Rattata currently...well, you could call it 'battling', but it seems more like the bird is being chased around the small clearing.]

C'mon, you're supposed to evolve already. Just...use Ember or something and finish it off...STOP RUNNING.

[And then the 'Gear is turned towards Evan.]

She's still afraid to fight other Pokémon...if they fight back, it's even worse. How do I make her get over it?

comments

Step 1 | Video/Action for Cherrygrove

2014-04-09T21:28:45Z

[Hello again, Pokéworld. You've probably seen this face before, because it's identical to another face currently residing in the world, but it's not the same person. Said face looks slightly irritated.]

Geez, I leave for an hour and someone steals all my stuff...all my money, my clothes, my bracelet! My whole team's been replaced with the most useless bird besides a Pidgey. And my badges. I don't want to deal with Whitney again!

[He pauses his rant to run a hand through his hair, not to calm himself, but just to give him something to do with his hands while he takes a breath.]

...I've heard that people who leave...their Pokémon sometimes end up with other people. Did anyone get Nami or Spike? Pyre? Ri? I'll even take Aura if he's still around.

[He ends the feed there. He's in an inn room in Cherrygrove if anyone wants to bother him in person, but he's mostly waiting for responses from the Gear.]

comments

Thirteenth Step -> Video/Audio

2013-09-10T02:03:23Z

[Hello Pokéworld, if you haven't seen the interior of a Blackthorn in room, you'll get a chance to if you're watching this video feed. It's a bit shaky at first, but steadies quickly enough, showing a bed strewn with a backpack and some of its contents--a couple notebooks, a handful of pens, and some articles of clothing. Some mumbling can be heard off camera as the Gear's view is moved from the bed, followed by an excited Jigg~ly from below.

Evan's nowhere to be seen, but after a few minutes of nothing aside from the Jigglypuff attempting to pull the Gear down to her, he can be heard, apparently in the middle of a rant.]

--the caves while you're in the area! Tch, last time I ever do that. Some people in this world are completely nut--what are you two doing over there?

[Things are moving again, and then Evan's face is peering at the screen, angry surrounded by damp hair.]

Seriously?! I'm gonna figure out how to Pokémon-proof this thing or something...

[And then he's shutting off the recording.]

comments

Twelfth Step -> Video (Backdated the 12th because I fail like that)

2013-07-16T17:53:55Z

[It's mid-morning, and this video is taking place inside a room at an inn in Ecruteak. The video shows the latter, or part of it--a bed with rumpled covers and a wall, at least, before moving to suddenly show a small pile of eggs. A recently-hatched Absol and a slightly older Meowth are nearby, the Meowth occasionally reaching out to paw at the eggs.]

Man, I wish more of these things could talk, and warn me when they're going to get all friendly with each other.

[He's thinking out loud, but doesn't particularly care if anyone hears him. He turned the video on on purpose, after all. The next part is directed at the network.]

If anyone's interested, I've got some eggs for sale. There's some Hoothoot, Ponyta, Houndour, Gastly--still not sure how a ghost can come out of an egg--uh, Frillish, I think...a Gligar, and a couple the Gear thinks are Nidoran eggs. There's a Pidgey egg too, but if you want that one, it's free.

I can talk, what about me?

I meant everyone else.

[Evan shuts the recording off, just as a (disguised) Zoroark attempts to steal the Gear from him.

Attached a minute later is a list, though it's just of the Pokémon and their moves.]

comments

Eleventh Step -> Audio/Video/Action for Route 34 (Backdated to the 24th)

2013-06-29T05:28:39Z

[This network post starts with just audio, and mostly some shuffling sounds and a dull thunk, as well as Rep's voice.]

Hey, be careful with that, don't lose it.

[The video comes on a few seconds later, showing Rep peering down at the screen, his hair hanging around his face. One of his hands is clutched into a fist.]

Got it now. Check it out, I got some more badges!

[He opens the fist, showing off a Hive badge and a Plain badge to the camera, looking and sounding immensely proud of himself.]

Got kicked out of Whitney's gym...for the second time. Her bodyguards probably know my face by now, so I probably won't be able to go back. Or maybe they'll let me back in if I leave Aura behind...

Do all the girl gym leaders cry when you beat them? 'Cause I'm going to avoid their gyms if that's going to happen every time.

[He starts to switch off the recording, but then stops.]

Not related to crybaby gym leaders, but I'm looking for a Volcarona and...whatever Torchic evolves into for...breeding purposes. I'll...pay you, I suppose, if anyone can lend one of those two to me for awhile.

[And then he does shut it off.]

comments

Tenth Step -> Video/Action for Goldenrod [4th Wall Shenanigans!]

2013-06-02T03:51:26Z

[Instead of the usual accidental post, this post is intentional, and much steadier than many of Repliku's other postings. The video comes on to show mostly his face, grinning at the camera.]

I dunno what happened, but this is pretty awesome!

[He moves back, moving far enough back that the camera is catching most of him. He's dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, but a couple seconds later, he's briefly enveloped in a black-blue aura and his outfit changes to this.]

I thought I'd never be able to do this kinda stuff again. Riku, are you watching this? Check it out, I'm back to full power now.

[By the way, you might recognize some of the buildings in the background. He's in Goldenrod, basically in the middle of the most deserted part of the street he could locate in the chaos.]

comments

Ninth Step -> Video/Action for Goldenrod

2013-05-28T17:20:38Z

[Perhaps it says something about how easy it is to push Repliku's buttons. Or perhaps he just needs to discipline his team better. Either way, this video clicks on to show the interior of a dressing room, while faint snickering can be heard off camera. A bit boring for a few seconds...]

--ra? You better not have wandered off again...

[...Then one of the doors open and Repliku pokes his head out, glancing around before he notices he's being filmed.]

Aura, CUT IT OUT!

[There's a couple seconds of shirtless teenager before the 'Gear is wrestled from whoever is filming and shut off.]

[It comes back on about fifteen minutes later, showing just a grouchy-looking Repliku (and if you're paying attention, someone who looks like Sasuke Uchiha a bit behind him).]

Don't train Zoroarks, they're nothing but trouble. Also, is it normal to wake up and find your clothes suddenly too small? I had to buy a bunch of new pants...

comments

Eighth Step -> Video/Action for Repliku's inn room

2013-04-27T20:18:47Z

[Today, the subject of this video is a very confused and somewhat irritated Evan. He woke up less than an hour ago, and his room was carpeted in eggs. Pretty much literally. He was expecting a batch of them, but he was not expecting more than fifty.

That's the only thing that the video shows, the carpet of eggs. Evan's voice is coming from off-camera.]

There are eggs all over the floor and I don't even know what half of these are even supposed to be. Tch.

[And then the video shuts off.]

[The second video comes on an hour later, and shows two piles of eggs, one slightly bigger than the other. There's an open notepad balanced on a couple of them, and you might be able to read what's written on the page--if you could read Evan's handwriting, that is.]

There's no way I'm taking care of all of these, so I'm selling them to whoever's interested. The smaller batch is Tenten's, and I'm attaching both of our price and movelists. Ask her about buying her eggs.

[That notebook stays sitting there, long enough for the text to be easily read, before it's snapped up into the air and a certain ninja-lacking-her-forehead-protector drops into view, obviously proud of herself.]

Evan's not here right now, but fortunately for him, he has a cute secretary to take his calls. And sell his things.

[She offers the camera a quick wink and a grin -- eggs!]

Attachment: Evanslist.txt
Attachment: Tentenslist.txt

(OoC: Replies will come from both Repliku and Tenten. If you're contacting Tenten's Gear specifically, please say so in the subject line.)

Seventh Step --> Action for Olivine/Audio

2013-03-23T17:09:46Z

[Action--anyone in the area]

[It's early evening in Olivine, and this guy is down at the beach, armed with a net, several Pokéballs, and some members of his team that aren't fire-typed or on his bad side. Which is Aura, Pink Thing, Victory, and a yet unnamed Buneary. It's actually a hilarious sight to see, because Victory seems to be the only one listening to any commands he gives, because Aura is attempting to swim, Pink Thing is doing a great impersonation of a buoy, and the Buneary keeps running away from the waves. So Rep is attempting to net something himself, without falling in the water.

It's sort of working. In that he's caught and released several ~~hundred~~ Magikarp by himself.]

[Audio, slightly later]

Is it possible to catch something that's not a fish or...something with tentacles from the beach? I've heard the fish are pretty useless and I have enough useless things to take care of.

comments

Sixth Step -> Video/Action for Olivine

2013-03-06T17:55:53Z

[G'morning, everyone! Hope whoever's watching this doesn't mind some shaky video. It doesn't start off that way--the camera's pointed towards Rep's panicked face first, then up to the sky, then back to his face.]

This thing just hatched a few days ago, and--

[He moves the gear's camera again to catch a baby Aerodactyl flying in small circles above him.]

--and I have no idea how to train it, since it won't listen to me at a--aagh!

[The camera swings wildly, catching a flash of grey and several crashes just off-camera. Someone's used Rock Slide on his trainer, but either aimed poorly or just missed. When the video settles, it's showing the resulting pile of rocks, a Jigglypuff wandering into the frame to check them out. Off-camera are a Noctowl attempting to 'talk' to the Aerodactyl and a Houndoom.]

...I'd like to get him back in his ball, at least.

comments

Fifth Step -> Text (Backdated to Friday evening)

2013-02-10T01:26:49Z

First of all, before anyone gets on my case about the text, it's not my fault, it's stuck like this.

but I'll make this short because I can't stand to look at it myself. Does anyone have an hm02 I can borrow?

And has anyone in Goldenrod right now seen Obito? He and his cousin were on the train with me, but he ran off somewhere after we got here.

(Ooc - [Translation: First of all, before anyone gets on my case about the text, it's not my fault, it's stuck like this.

but I'll make this short because I can't stand to look at it myself. Does anyone have an hm02 I can borrow?

And has anyone seen Obito? He and his cousin were on the train with me, but he ran off somewhere after we got here.]

Repliku's video and audio functions are currently disabled, though he can receive replies in audio and video. He'll just respond in text.)

comments

Fourth step -> Video/Potential action for Training Center

2013-01-27T07:15:25Z

[It's late morning, and this video feed begins with a shaky recording and a lot of background noise. Specifically, Pokémon background noise, and then a black paw obscures the screen, followed by a growl and a whine.]

Watch your feet, you'll step on it!

Don't drop it then!

Shush guys, you'll wake him up!

[A soft hooting joins the conversation for those who can't understand the Pokéspeak, and the video suddenly swings upward before tilting to show a bed with a sleeping Repliku in it. Which would be far less interesting if his face and exposed arm weren't covered in various doodles. Someone's been busy. The hooting starts again, soon joined by a loud bark, and the video shakes when Repliku rolls over in his sleep.]

One of the spooks got bored and--Sora!

He kicked me!

[OoC: Purple text is a Nidorino, brown is a Houndour, and tan is a Noctowl. The Noctowl will probably respond to any Pokémon who respond to the video.)

comments

Third step -> Video/Action if you're near Violet on the Route 31 side

2013-01-08T21:21:24Z

[This guy's been fairly silent on the network lately, partly due to traveling, partly due to work and training his team. The latter of which he's currently out doing at at the moment, dressed (semi-)properly for the weather, in a heavier coat this time.

He's facing away from the video when the feed comes on, showing this is an accidental recording. His Gear is in his backpack, which is hanging from a tree behind him. Just beyond him, a Pidgey and a male Nidoran can be seen fighting, the latter trying to keep the former from flying away by pinning its tail.]

C'mon, you've fought these things before, you can beat this one!

[Considering the Nidoran is 4 levels stronger than the Pidgey is. He pulls a Pokéball from his pocket.]

Just let me catch it this time.

comments

Second Step --> Video (Backdated to the morning of the 25th)

2012-12-26T06:23:23Z

[Some people look good when they wake up. This Replica is not one of them, shown in this video with half of his hair sticking up at odd angles, but he either doesn't notice or doesn't care either way.]

I don't really get this 'Christmas' thing, but I'm assuming it's the reason my eggs have multiplied themselves.

[He turns the camera away from his face to show three Pokémon eggs sitting on top of his backpack.]

I know why one of them is there, but the other two just appeared this morni--Hey, careful with those, Nami!

[A Hoothoot has just hopped onto the backpack, jostling the eggs, and he drops the Gear on the bed to make sure she doesn't harm them.]

comments

First Step --> Video

2012-12-19T03:40:42Z

[What do you get when you pluck someone from the only world they've ever known, put them in a completely different one, and give them technology they've never even heard of?

You get this video post. Which starts off mostly by accident, as this kid managed to get to the recording program through a combination of guessing and pure luck. It might be amusing, though, that he's holding the Gear too close to his face when it starts.]

--and this better be the right one. The light came on...

[A pause, and some movement, then the face goes away to show more of the kid, a teenager wearing an odd assortment of clothing--what looks like the top half of a jogging suit over some sort of puffy pants. Behind him are what look like tree branches.]

Hey, whoever's watching this, I've got some questions. I want to know what this world is, who stuck me here, and why I'm here. If this is some Nobody's idea of a joke, it's not funny, and you're going down when I find you.

[A pause.]

And what's this white stuff everywhere? It's cold!
