With six feet of body to work with, Rik has always been the tallest person in every crowd. And with that on his shoulders, he's always walked with a partial slump in his back, trying to get closer to ground level where everyone seems to hang around. This doesn't help much, considering his shear beauty causes just as much a fuss as his hieght. He's rather womanly, his features are very soft, with sharp edges here and there that distinct him as a man instead of a woman. Not that he really cares, his door swings both ways anyways. But his body is all male, and with toned arms and legs (and not a bad six-pack) he attracts the attention of most anything.
His skin is very pale, blemish free aside from a small scar on his face, just below his left eye where an accident left him partially blind. His eyes are small and oval, slightly slanted down and inwards leading towards the end of his pointed nose. Rik's hair is raven black, and cascades in waves down his back to just above his waist line. He usually leaves it down, though sometimes pins up a bit of it to keep it out of his face when he's working.
He wears the same light purple yukata regardless of what day or year it is. It's held closed by a dark leather belt decorated with a mural of the forest he painted himself. Leather bands adorn his wrists and ankles, and the leather boots he wears fit tightly but keep the bottoms of his feet safe from the foilage of the forests.

ABILITIES && WEAKNESSES
[/b]
Rik, and his mothers' ancestors, have the special ability to create different elements and attacks with paint. Every color has it’s own special ability and with different combination's of colors, the right brush stroke and the correct spell, he has the ability to turn a painted red rose into a fire ball-o-death.
Well maybe not that drastic, but he can guarantee you won’t see it coming.
[/ul]
Red: The color for fire and love, but in Rik’s case it all depends on how he wishes to use the color, in what context you might say. Depending on his mood he may either use this color to create a love connection between two people, or to start a house fire to watch others squirm.
Blue: The color for water and ife, using blue by itself could mean destruction, whereas using it with other color’s could mean life.
Yellow: The color for electricity and heat, this color is rarely used, especially by itself, because it’s one of the only ones that needs some nature backing. The only way for Rik to create electricity is to have a storm, raging off the page. And he has yet to perfect creating storms.
[/ul]
Orange: [red and yellow] This color is normally used for fires, with a one and a half brush stroke he can bring the two fused colors off the page and strengthen a preceding attack created from either, red or yellow.
Green: [blue and Yellow] This is an earth element color and is normally used to create nature around him, but can also be used in attacks. With a previous blue attack, adding this fused color, he can create vines and leaves to wrap around his opponents.
Purple: [blue and red] This color is rarely used, only because it has no real function, except to turn a fire attack into a water one or vice-versa. It has no unique attack of it's own and besides making pretty flowers is normally forgotten.
Pink: [red mixed with water] Pink is the only color that when created has to be diluted. As such the power associated with this color is not as strong as the others, such as orange or green. Pink is normally used for carnations, or other flowers, and is also a symbol for love. When used with a stronger color of red, and with the proper brushstrokes, it can create an aura that causes people to fall in love with each other and make those already in love to remain that way.
Brown: [blue, yellow and red] Like purple, brown has no attack function of it's own. It's used to defend Rik, creating wooden walls or weapons for him to use. Of course any weapons created rarely last much longer than a few minutes in his hands.
Black: [red mixed with coal] Black is used as a void, to fill the places where color does not fit. It's the opposite of white and normally is used for dark purposes. If Rik were to create a fire, adding in the black would keep it burning longer as well as dousing out a water attack fairly quickly.
White: [no colors; white is purity and therefore has no colors within it] It's also the absence of colors and used to counter-attack any of his own attacks. White is fresh and by using it any damage done by Rik's paints would be reversed and therefore fixed. As though nothing had happened in the first place.
[/ul]
Angular: Flat, short-length hairs, set with longer hairs at one end. Useful for precise strokes, and for lines and curves, with thick or heavy color. Made from, bristle.
Bright: Flat, short-length hairs, usually set in a long handle. Width and length of brush head is about equal. Useful for short, controlled strokes, and with thick or heavy color. Made from, mongoose and badger hair.
Fan: Flat, spread hairs. Natural hair is more suitable for soft blending, and synthetic works well for textural effects. Useful for smoothing and blending, special effects and textures. Made from, badger hair.
Flat: Flat, square-ended, with medium to long hairs. Provides lots of color capacity and easy maneuverability. Use for bold, sweeping strokes, or on edge for fine lines. Use heavier filling for heavier paint. Made from, mongoose and badger hair.
Hake: A hake brush is an oriental-style wash brush on a long flat handle. It is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media. Made from, ox, squirrel and goat hairs.
Highliner: Also known as an out liner. Round, square-ended brush, with extra-long hairs and a short handle. Large color carrying capacity. Useful for delicate lettering, outlining, and long continuous strokes. Made from, squirrel hair.
Mop: A mop is a round, full version of the wash brush, made of soft, absorbent natural hair. It is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media. Made from, squirrel hair.
Stroke: Flat, square-ended medium to long length hairs. Short handles. Large color carrying capacity. Useful for painting block letters in a single stroke. Made from, squirrel and ox hair.
Oval Wash: Wash brushes come in varied shapes. The oval wash has rounded hairs, flat ferrules, and produces a soft edge, with no point. A wash brush is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media. Made from, squirrel and ox hair.
Quill: Plastic or natural quill ferrule, with a permanent or detachable handle. Long hairs, and a natural-shaped tip. The writer has a round ferrule and a short handle. Useful for lettering and poster work. Good on smooth surfaces such as glass. Made from, sable and squirrel hairs.
Round: Round ferrule, round or pointed tip. Useful for detail, wash, fills, and thin to thick lines. A pointed round is used for fine detail. Made from, all hair, usually from his own head.
Sash: The long handles and tapered bristles are perfect for detailed work on large paintings. Also good for delicate decorative painting. Made from, bristle.
Script/Liner: Pointed, narrow brush with very long hair. Liners are shorter and narrower. Short handles, round ferrules. Large color carrying capacity. Useful for delicate lettering, highlighting, outlining, and long continuous strokes. Made from, sable and ox hairs.
Square Wash: Wash brushes come in varied shapes. The square wash can produce varying shapes and widths, and often has a short, "flat-footed" handle for scraping, burnishing, and separating watercolor paper from blocks. A wash brush is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media. Made from: squirrel and ox hairs, or bristle.
[/ul]
Vertical: This stroke has any attacks moving forwards, first up to leave the page and then straight ahead to attack the opponent.
Horizontal: This stroke has any attacks moving either to the left or the right. It leaves one side first before leaving the other and attacks opponents to his sides.
Circular: This stroke is used as offense and defense. In defense it wraps around Rik, in which ever direction he wishes, and attacks opponents behind him, as well as in front of him, 360 degrees. In offense it acts as a barrier around Rik, protecting him and his easel from attacks.
Diagonal: These attacks go towards the sky and low into the ground. They also help to strengthen some attacks that need a little extra 'oamph' to work at the best capacity.
Half Stroke: These strokes keep the paints from leaving the page, they are harmless and used when he is painting a scene he particularly likes.
One and A Half Stroke: These are the strokes that help his attacks leap off the page. With a full stroke he meets the edge of the page and with the extra half the paint jumps from the page and towards which ever direction Rik desires.
[/ul]
Unfortunately Rik needs just a little bit of extra help to change his paints into something more than bits of water and dust. So he uses a few words, quite simple, yet very powerful when added in with the paints and brush strokes.
Hanatsu: Fire, used for fire attacks.
Daichi: Earth, used for attacks dealing with earth.
Kaze: Wind, used for wind attacks.
Ame: Water, only for those attacks involving water.
Gensei: Life, used during earth based attacks when he wishes to create something to either attack or just to look pretty, versus just causing a quake of some sort.
Aisuru: Love, obviously this is more of a technique used to create a romantic air or a special connection between two things, not so much as an attack.
Kurushimi: Pain, this is a word that can be added after - mostly - any of the other ones to create an extra boost to the attack.
Yorokobiutau: Rejoice, this is used to create a peaceful air about every one.
Anzuru: Fear, nightmarish images could pop up from Rik's paper, should he mutter this word while angry or when adding the word anger after or before it. However he hasn't mastered being able to create actual monsters and get them off the page, so it's rarely muttered.
Kietsu: Joy, to create happiness around him, or when dealing with children, it causes them to calm down.
Chuppara: Anger, only used when Rik is really ticked off at something. It adds a giant boost to any attack and can cause that attack to get out of hand.
Eiki: Courage, used to add courage to others around him, to give those who are not used to fighting the mind set to fight.
Isamashii: Brave, to make those who are cowardly, brave. And yes there is a difference between courage and brave, courage is used to help others in fights or to do something more. Bravery is added to help others explore darker areas and to gain more upon them personally.

HISTORY
[/i]. And she dragged him into her home, and used her potions to heal his wounds. Though, not all healed fully, and a year later, Ryuzaki was dead, and baby Rik was only a few months old.
Reina was human, but was branched off a line of hanyou who had extraoridanry abilites, and could tamper with paints, make them come alive. While the hanyou's of her ancestry were very powerful in this, she herself didn't have the demon blood to produce as strong a spell. But she could still produce some magic with her paintings. She taught Rik, and he grew up learning and memorizing the trade, and grew exceptional with the paint, his only physical contact being his mother.
Unfortunately, Reina was known as a witch by a local village, and her life was put to a sudden end when Rik was only in his teens. He had been hiding in their small home, and though he would not fight the villagers, he growled and snarled and scared them away from his land. He buried his mother, left their home and continued to travel where ever he could. He kept his mother's paints close at hand, and a few of her hairs to use in his brushes when he needed them. Momentos.
