Name: Rikku, no last name.
Fandom: Final Fantasy X/X-2
History link: Here
Age: 17
Canon point: After the Good Ending of FFX-2, when Yuna and Tidus are reunited after all the craziness of that game
Personality: Rikku has always been the bubbly, bouncy kid, even when he wasn’t really a ‘kid’ any more and more of a ‘slightly annoying teenager’, just like his canon female self. It’s not his fault. When you grow up in a really depressing world like Spira, you learn to cope the best you know how. His way of coping was being the bubbly one, or at least the one who always ended up doing something really kind of stupid-yet-safe. The last part was especially true once he got old enough to mess with explosives. He really likes explosions, unless they happen because he screwed up the wiring on something. (He also really likes swiping things from others, and the cute face totally helps with that.) He’s also prone to using rather tame words in place of swear words, like “fudge” or calling someone a “jerkface”, and he tends to make up words like “disasterrific”. It’s part of the whole ‘bubbly kid’ thing, though he does occasionally let whatever piece of machina has annoyed him have it. He will use stronger words than his canon self, though not much stronger. (He’ll say ‘crap’ or ‘ass’ while canon Rikku isn’t likely to at all.)
Rikku’s extremely loyal to his friends and family (even his mom, who’s a stupid jerkface old woman who doesn’t use her brain, and his sister who’s…Sis). He’ll do anything to protect them, up to and including kidnapping twice, or taking on giant ancient machina, or attempting to destroy a thousand-year-old giant whale thing. He’s also extremely unhappy when they’re upset, and does his best to cheer them up. His usual antics are enough most of the time (when they’re not annoying someone), but sometimes he has to go the extra distance to cheer them up, and he’ll do it in a heartbeat. Helping his family/friends/the world at large is Rikku’s main driving force. If he gets to have fun while doing it, that’s great! But the most important thing is that everyone is having fun and no one is attempting to die in a needlessly lavish fashion or being a doormat or something stupid like that. Dead people and doormats don’t get to enjoy life and have fun, so people don’t need to go around being like that on purpose.
Sometimes Rikku’s attempts at making things better or helping go astray. He’s clumsy, and prone to moments of spazz-iness, and this tends to make things backfire. (In FFX-2, if a sidequest is done in a certain way, Rikku can be blamed for causing a mass machine malfunction on the Mi’Hen Highroad because she’s a klutz. However, the game never indications which ending to the sidequest is canon, although Rikku’s clumsiness is shown in other parts of the game.) He rarely screws things up because he’s an idiot, though. He’s quite intelligent; he’s bilingual, a skilled mechanic like all Al Bhed, and a good chemist. The Al Bhed are a race/subspecies of human in Spira, with spiral green eyes and blond hair. Whereas the rest of the world followed the Church of Yevon, the Al Bhed never did. They were and still the most progressive and advanced group in Spira. This is reflected in Rikku’s “move move move” attitude: when something’s boring and it’s not helping anyone, it’s time to move on and find something new to do! Of course, some people might call this “ having a short attention span”, but Rikku prefers “being active”. He’s also pretty stubborn. If someone tells him something can’t be done for some arbitrary reason (it’s always been done like this, the baddie’s crazy, he’s too young), he will then proceed to attempt and do whatever it was they said couldn’t be done. So far, he’s got a perfect record of doing just that, too, so it’s probably best not to challenge him.
One of Rikku’s most noticeable traits is his love of and knack for making friends (or at least trying to). Unless someone gives of major bad karma vibes (and after dealing with Seymour, the Maesters, and Shuyin, he’s got a fairly good eye for creepers, though he still can get fooled), he’ll try to befriend almost anyone who comes up to him. Even grumpy old ronin and prejudiced blizters. He’s also not likely to hold someone’s prejudices against them, if they’re trying to change or simply didn’t know better. If they do, though, and they’re jerks about it, they can forget it. And someone help you if you piss off someone he’s friends with or related to. He will try to kick your ass or take your things, so help him. He’s fought off two world-ending monsters before; jerkfaces do not scare him. (Snakes and needles do, however.)
Rikku’s a bit flirty, though he can suddenly get shy if he feels that things are going too fast or in a direction he’s unsure about. He’s confident in the fact that he’s fun to be around, but is constantly comparing himself to his cousin or other more awesome people and worries that he doesn’t match up. Yunie got to go on an adventure twice, after all, and even if Rikku was there for it, his cousin’s the one who’s famous for it. He just happened to be there. Yunie’s also found someone to love, and that’s something Rikku is dying to have. He’s almost certain he won’t get this, though. Using his cousin as a ruler means he expected to get all of the things she had by seventeen, minus the whole suicide wish thing. He also comes from a place where people married young, since before Sin was destroyed, you never knew when you’d die; since he’s still seventeen and single, he feels absolutely hopeless, even though he knows that he doesn’t have to get married so soon if he doesn’t want to. He wants a family with lots of kids, even if those kids have to be adopted.
That being said, Rikku is well aware that he’s a “pretty boy” and not traditionally handsome, worrying about his hair and looking nice when not dealing with machina rather than chasing girls and killing fiends (not that he doesn’t do those things, too, but he’s just not soley focused on them like everyone seems to expect him to be). He got teased for it growing up, but it honestly doesn’t bother him. So he’s pretty. Big deal. He’s healthy and has all his body parts, and really, that’s all that matters. That’s all that should matter with anyone and anything, actually. If you’re healthy, go for it! Make life fun! And if you’re not, do what you can! Living in the past never helped anyone (just look at Spira), and Rikku is a firm believer that if it’s past, it’s past for a reason. There’s no sense in wallowing in what might have been or how it used to be. Take lessons from the past, take machina from the past, and move on into the future. Don’t forget the dead, but don’t dwell on them, either. They wouldn’t want that. This mindset of his was actually pretty novel in Spira until Sin’s defeat; Spira was a land of death and run by a church that hounded on atoning for past sins, so anyone who felt that living in the past was stupid was either in the minority or an Al Bhed.
Overall, being a boy in FFX and its sequel doesn’t really change the games all that much. His dresspheres are just as fanservicey, he’s still a genki kid who does crazy things to cheer his cousin up, and he still does stupid things to help other people. He idolizes kickass men instead of women, however, since…well, he’s a boy who’s perfectly content to be a boy. Rikku’s character in the plots of the games could have been played by any particularly cheerful teenager, male or female; in fact, the only differences in the games (assuming everyone else’s sex remained the same) would likely be Tidus’s relationship with Rikku being more sibling like without the extra possible flirting scenes (namely the one at Guadosalam) and Rikku wanting to be like Auron rather than Lulu. The same goes for FFX-2. There would almost no change, except needing to get a male grunt’s uniform when they raided LeBlanc’s house. Assuming everyone’s sex swapped along with Rikku’s, absolutely nothing would change between canon and AU.
Since Rikku’s seventeen at his canon point, the only thing Pleasantville really did for him was make him desperate to just get out of that crazy hellhole. He’s still the same bubbly teenager he was when he went in, if a bit more skittish. There was a sense of always being watched, of no privacy, and it’s going to take a while to get past that (not that he will, what with Lok). Being stuck in there for a year should be illegal, because geez are those women cuh-reepy. Always smiling and…ugh.
He had the overwhelming sense that everyone in Pleasantville disapproved of him, and while that was nothing new, at least people back home were honest about it. He even cut his hair (it had been long enough for a short braid before) towards the end of his stay there in order to make them stop. It didn’t work, but he was taken to Vegas a few days later, so it wasn’t like it mattered too terribly much. Rikku feels that giving into the creepy atmosphere and trying to fit in was a huge betrayal of himself and the Al Bhed, though, since even if they’re adaptable, they don’t give in like that.
Powers/Abilities: Unless you count a knack for mechanics and chemistry, Rikku’s a pretty average dude. He’s fast and good at sneaking around, as well as going after things with daggers.
Types of sex I am OK with: Anal, oral, pretty much anything that you'd find in fanfiction or memes.
Kinks or practices I enjoy: Crossdressing, most toys, D/s, bondage, sex under the influence. (With Rikku, any D/s would likely involve him as the sub.)
Types of sex I'm not OK with: Dub, non, anything of that sort. Nothing that belongs in the bathroom, either, and nothing unnecessarily violent.
Kinks or practices I don't enjoy: See above. Also blood.
Willing to write rape or dubcon?: Not at all, sorry
Is fade to black OK?: Yep!
If something isn't mentioned, feel free to run it by me!
