BACKSTORY:

Nobody except Rikk himself knows much about his past. He simply wandered into the forest one day and found himself surrounded by a tribe of fellow drakes. They called themselves the Skull Tribe, and were known for their isolated lifestyle and obscure religious beliefs. Rikk introduced himself as a wandering fortuneteller with no home, and was invited to join the tribe.

Though most see him as a creepy but otherwise harmless shaman, Seth knows better. He knows that what Rikk really wants is to gain control of his people, one manipulative whisper at a time... and he doesn't trust Rikk one bit.

PERSONALITY:

Positive: Charismatic / Patient / Ambitious

Negative: Cruel / Manipulative / Selfish / Arrogant / Greedy

For the most part, Rikk upholds the aura of a mysterious shaman. His tasks include providing medical care and divining aspects of the future. He is highly respected by most of his tribesmen - who believe he's the only one capable of talking to spirits - and in social situations, he usually comes off as polite but distant.

In reality, he is a greedy and self-absorbed individual with questionable ambitions. He is aware of the power he holds over the tribe and wants to someday gain complete control over them, leading him to view Seth, the chieftain, as a rival of sorts. Those who don't respect him are usually mistrustful of him, and for good reason. He has a theatrical side and enjoys unsettling people with his ominous divination.

Rikk respects nobody. He finds the concept of deities, soulmates, and fate amusing. Whether he actually believes in the tribe's gods or not is a bit of a mystery - while he does worship and take part in their rituals, he doesn't seem very sincere. He is a hoarder, as shown by his collection of bones, feathers, gemstones, and money. Rikk hates those who overindulge in physical pleasures of any kind. He sees other people as little more than animals, and himself as a higher being.

DESIGN:

Rikk has reddish-brown fur and a bristly green mane. He wears a drake skull over the upper half of his head, hiding his face. However, his long, expressive ears often give away what he's feeling.

His eyes are pink. He has considerable scarring on the left side of his mouth/jaw, of unknown origin.

He wears two necklaces, one threaded with small gemstones and the other threaded with animal teeth.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Seth

Seth is the chieftain of the tribe Rikk lives in. They don't like each other, though Rikk is less obvious about it. Seth believes that Rikk is plotting something (and it's true.)

TRIVIA:

- Hates crowds and noise. If his tribe are having a party, you can be sure Rikk won't be seen anywhere near them.

- Is very good at imitating other peoples' voices or just putting on creepy voices for effect.

- Likes collecting bones, feathers, and other remnants of animals.

- Refuses to eat anything except nuts, berries and mushrooms. Will literally starve before he eats anything else.
