Rikkan Zelora
Rik | Male |
117 | Kitsune |
appearance
Rikkan is a twin-tailed kitsune, recently grown into his second tail, standing in at 6'6", preferring to wear oriental clothing for the level of comfort it provides. His blade, Laevateine, is never far from his side. Interestingly enough, his eyes are known to flash between red and golden.
personality
Initially a gruff old man, once you're past his outer shell, you'll find Rikkan to be a very steadfast and loyal friend and ally. Though his martial skills are great, he much prefers to lay back and relax, letting things pass him by, often urging friends to join him. When he must take action, however, his determination and willpower carries him through, refusing to give up on a cause or task, stubbornly so, even.
Rikkan treats his allies and friends very well, offering his cooking skills on more than one occasion, as well as his martial prowess when someone requires protection. Rik values honesty and integrity, especially toward oneself, and respects individuals that possess strong willpower or great strength. Though he will not call out a liar, he will confront them about it if he discovers it.

background
Hailing from a far-off, incomplete world, Rikkan resides as the chief of his clan of kitsune. Having picked up the sword nearly eighty years ago, his swordsmanship is unmatched by any in his own world, save for one. Rikkan earned his position by leading his clan through the flames of an old dying world, leading them onward to a new world that had been opened up to them by a savior. In this new world, they would rebuild their fading clan with the supplies they brought, seeding the land and claiming it for their, allowing them to grow once more...
Power - Ability
Name: Twin-tailed Swordmaster
Description: Rikkan is a lightly armored master of the blade, capable of wielding inherent magics as well. He possesses great agility and strength in combat, capable of moving with impressive technique at the cost of very little armor. Rikkan wears formal robes that have been inlaid with chainmail, offering decent protection without hampering his overall power.
Power - Ability
Name: Keen Senses
Description: True to his bloodline, Rik possesses a fox-like sense of hearing, smell, and sight. He is capable of picking up on sounds normally too far for a human to hear, and can hear footsteps around him very clearly. Of course, this leaves him sensitive to very loud noises, which can stun him at higher levels. Bright lights can do the same with his sight, otherwise Rikkan is able to pick up on camouflaged entities, as well as pick up on very minor details both close and a short distance out. Lastly, his sense of smell is honed to a point where he can sniff out a warm-blooded person within 15 feet of him, as well as their general direction, though of course this becomes useless when near multiple people.
Power - Ability/Technique
Name: Wolf Stance
Description: Over the years, Rikkan has practiced a myriad of sword forms, condensing them down into three primary stances that can be switched into at will, the wary Wolf Stance, aggressive Tiger Stance, and tactical Owl Stance. Of the three, Wolf is the default. Wolf Stance can be identified by a two-handed stance, standing at the ready, blade pointed diagonally on front of him. In Wolf Stance, Rikkan puts a fair focus on awareness, allowing him to react to threats as they come, enabling him to combat multiple opponents with relative ease.
Variant: Tiger Stance: Tiger Stance is a very aggressive stance he takes to quickly finish a battle. Rikkan abandons caution and puts all focus on the opponent, paying attention only to them for the most part. Due in part to dropping his guard, Rikkan is capable of attacking faster in this stance. The standing stance for this form is the blade held high and reared back, poised to strike. Rikkan will shift between one- and two-handed forms with this stance. Due to how he focuses only on the opponent in Tiger Stance, he can be easy to gang up on and overwhelm by two or more opponents.
Variant: Owl Stance: A very cautious form where Rikkan completely frees up his left hand, wielding Laevateine only in his right, blade held out to the side. In this form, Rikkan is able to manipulate his Foxflame wisps more finely with his left hand, whereas the other forms can only send them in a direction. While in Owl Stance. Rik stays out of direct combat, instead directing those who follow him as he watches over the battle.
Power - Weapon
Name: Laevateine
Description: A lengthy weapon of six feet, strapped to Rikkan's back with leather straps, as it is too large for a scabbard. Laevateine is an extended length arming sword with a five ft blade, the handle itself extending a foot further, making the weapon nearly as long as Rikkan is tall. The blade can be heated up to cause light burns on contact and burn through flammable materials.
Damage Type: Physical, Heat
Power - Technique
Name: Foxflame
Description: Tapping into an inherent wellspring of energy within him, Rikkan summons forth a myriad of small blue flame wisps that dance all around him, moving side to side in a seemingly random pattern. With every cast, once per post, five wisps are summoned, and should t5hese wisps contact an opponent, they will deal light burn damage. One wisp alone is rather weak, but five together colliding with an opponent will cause serious burn damage. The wisps also weaken armor that they collide with. Rikkan cannot control these wisps without the use of his hands, and all wisps that are hovering around him will instantly dissipate when he enters Phase Shift.
Damage Type: Fire
Power - Technique
Name: Phase Shift
Description: A powerful technique taught to him by his wife. Rikkan is able to coat himself in an ethereal form of magic and "step" into another dimension, effectively phasing out of the current one for 3 seconds, allowing him to dodge one, maybe two consecutive attacks. This magic is volatile, and if used in a consecutive post, will inflict magical burns on Rikkan, harming him. Likewise, remaining intangible for more than 3 seconds will create this same burn, damaging him for as long as he remains intangible. Phasing out will create an afterimage effect that remains where he was when he phased, and while his speed is drastically reduced while phased out, Rikkan is still able to move up to five feet within those three seconds.

final smash
Final Smash: Supernova
Description: Rikkan begins summoning countless flame wisps for a post in an eight ft sphere around him, whereupon anyone that comes into contact with these wisps will be burned, taking considerable damage should they walk into the sphere. On the third post, when enough wisps have been summoned, Rikkan will draw them all to him, condensing them all into a very tiny orb barely a few millimeters in diameter. After a few moments, the orb will detonate with a massive 40 ft radius around him, decimating everything and everyone, regardless of friend, foe, or object. The detonation itself will blast back anything within range instantly, dealing cataclysmic damage and sending all but incredibly heavy foes flying. Upon detonation, the blast energy will extend to the edges of its range beforeretracting back in just as quickly, following up with a point-blank implosion that all but destroys Rikkan, leaving him at the brink of defeat.
