Age 24. Dont be fooled. He's still lean just with much definition in his muscles
Personality: A quiet individual, likelyhood due to his father's quietness as well. Has all the simular personalities of his father, his calm, cool and collective side, his intelligence, his suave and his calm charimastic talk. One of the many things that differ from Riku is that he can have a emotionless side that does not involve having multiple personalities, he can split it in half like a normal person. He carries something down from his great-grandfather Samael, which is extreme patience. Even as a child, he never displayed such emotions such as restlessness. Seeing that he has extreme patience, he does not get surprised. Nothing seemed to surprise him. He believes in a sense of honor, that being said he is extremely polite, curtious and has a extreme gentlemen attitude

He has an extremely curious interest with the experimental types of sciences. Revolving around chemistry, astronomy, physics, astrophysics, anatomy, physiology, psychology, sociology and alchemy. At a young age, he showed levels of extreme interest in such fields and because he showed much interest, he was introduced to an early age of mental capacity far exceeding children and even adults intelligence. Close to his father's intelligence at the age of twenty-two.

Over the years, he has not change much, only that he has become alittle more romantic. He has devolop two sides to himself, one side which keeps his orginal personality and such, while the other personality would be a darker more sinister persona. This persona, although remains calm and silent like the orginal, it tends to have a more chaotic and arrogant sounding in his words. When it comes to ability, his power is more raw than the controlled version. But this is only the illusion that this persona takes up

History: The mother in this case is unknown as of now, no one knows who the mother is besides Kyouken but Riku was born ninteen years to the date as the second heir to the Shikyo throne. Born with white hair with tints of blue (clear opposite to his father) with aqua color eyes. A boy with a full head of hair and a smile to go with it. Kyouken loved his son like no other and cared for him. When Kyouken would hold Riku in his arms, he felt that connection between father and son and regardless of what it was, he never seemed to put him down (although Kyouken knew he had to in order for him to grow up as a baby). He kept him away from the Shikyo clan's influence as much as possible. Refuse to make the mistake he made with his first daughter Hanashi, where he was never there due to his schedule of the clan, the akatsuki and being death himself

Riku first started to sprout his intellect onto the world as he was around his father's experimentations. Kyouken had a research lab underneath The Creed's current location. Usually Kyouken would set Riku on the table (seeing that Riku was now ranging from one- three years old at the time) and Kyouken would explain to him the current experiment he was performing on. Although he does sound strange for a full grown adult to talk to his child not in a childish voice but a intellectual voice to his toddler son but Kyouken knew that Riku was more than meets the eye. By accident, at the age of sixteen months, Kyouken was reading allowed when Riku was in the room about the psychology of the human mind. He was saying on how that one's person mind was affected by certain amount of traits such as; Enviroment, Behaviorism, Personality. As Kyouken was explaining, he realized that Riku was listening. Riku had stopped at what he was doing and began to listen to Kyouken fully as though he was a young man listening in on Kyouken. Kyouken then realize that Riku's mind was devoloping at a extraordinary rate. More rate than any other human or Shikyo clan member could experience. Kyouken knew that his son's and daughters would at time surpass him in something and Kyouken believed that his son would outmatch him in intelligence

As Riku began to grow, as began to devolop, Kyouken took into consideration that it was time to start his training. He knew that Riku or his daughter would take the throne after Kyouken would step down. Intelligence alone would not bring fear into the Shikyo's hearts and soul of Riku did not have the proper training for it. Kyouken had thoughts of establishing him into Kirigakure no sato, but realized that there teachings would not match up with the teachings of all of those that Kyouken was taught as a young child and a young man. He knew he had the ability to learn things extremely quickly. At the age of four, Kyouken started his extremely aggressive and deadly training his young son who would be changed forever. The first step of the training was fierce. It was first body manipulation/speed manipulation. Kyouken had to train Riku into learning how to use the Tenshu Hitokoki first before he went any further. The usual training methods would be carrying extremely dense materials for the clothing and running for miles and miles and miles, without rest, without sleep and without eat. These task could kill a normal human being but to Riku, this was only temporary torture. The trails between uphill, downhilll, through rocky terrains and through desert heat. Kyouken, although kind in nature, had to train the boy through intense and downright deathly training. He knew life out there would continue to adapt and he had to make sure that Riku's body would adapt to such obstacles and hopefully manipulate the obstacles, one at a time.

A four year process, the Tenshu Hitokoki training usually last for up to ten but because of Riku's adaptablity rate, it decreased two in a half fold and he was able to learn and completely master it at the age of eight years old, four years younger than Kyouken's mastery at the age of twelve (again, Kyouken did not have to go through this type of training with his father). Kyouken nods in agreement due to Riku's success rate and now it was time for him learn alot of taijutsu abilities and no other master could teach him besides one woman and that woman was Kyouken's Tengu Kage, Kyoko Sugure. She was the Shikyo members pride hand-to-hand combat master when it came down to specialty work. Kyoko, beautiful and cunning to the teeth, would train him through rigorous training methods but not only in the training field but also through assassination missions. During training sessions of the Tenshu Hitokoki, he was assign to perform task like assassinations. Although he had no further knowledge of how to use taijutsu, through the work of the trade he was able to perform assassination but has yet further knowledge of taijutsu. Kyouken knew that because Riku was a Shikyo member and they were meant to kill anything mortal and immortal, it would naturally come to him on how to kill someone. But Kyouken knew that instincit was not going to save his son in a real life n death situation so further taijutsu training would do to his liking

Riku was proficient and masterful in the arts of taijutsu. Kyoko, skilled in techinques resembling southern mantis style kung fu, tai chi, tae kwon do and karate. Kyoko training Riku from the age of eight years to he was sixteen made Riku a taijutsu master. Kyoko, a grandmaster of the taijutsu arts decided to give him the title of "Grandmaster rank I" as he was able to learn all of Kyoko's styles in less than eight years compared to her training which took 40 years of complete mastery. Kyouken was extremely proud of his son and for a gift for Riku, Kyouken gave him two things. One was a custom weapon of his choice but the other one was a taijutsu style not even Kyoko knows. Kyouken, because being half-Hyuuga learn the techniques of the gentle fist. The gentle fist in its entirity was extremely difficult reason is that both Kyouken and Riku lack the Byakugan and because Kyouken was half-hyuuga and Riku was only a third, the training was long and difficult. Kyouken began to work with his son time in and time out with the gentle fist style. Training from sun up to the entirity of darkness consumed the skys, Riku although mangled, beaten, bruised and almost to death wanted to learn this special technique. He knew only that his father has more of a chance learning how to use the gentle fist because his mother knows it and thats when it hit Riku. He knew that he would have to learn how to obtain a skill by going to his grandmother. Karai Hyuuga Shikyo.

**two years later**
Now eighteen and much more stronger and alot more wiser than he was when he was sixteen, he had travelled to Kumogakure no sato to where his grandparents had lived in order to train under his grandmother and grandfather. His grandfather, Pravus Shikyo, had taught the elite techniques of the Tenshu Hitokoki where as his grandmother, Karai Shikyo, helped Riku master the arts of the gentle fist without the use of the byakugan. During his time in Kumogakure, he began a sort of alliance with the village. He had never been incorporated into a village, not even Kirigakure which was much closer than Kumogakure is to his home and as he arrived to his home, he began to ponder upon the fact of if he should enter into Kumogakure and train there or stay with The Creed. He had to seek advice and one of which was his own father. Kyouken, a sage of wisdom and father to Riku, asked Riku his time and trip with his parents. Riku explain to him the situation that he had one hand, telling him about his alliance and how he is now considered a potential jounin. Kyouken understood that potential jounin was one of those few people that were allowed to become a kage, if something were to happen to the kage in his time in office. Whether it would be retirement, sickness, assassination, however it was Kyouken smiled as he knew his son was on his way on his own. He was about to leave The Creed for awhile and become something apart of his own. Riku then said to Kyouken

"Father" the somewhat deep and cool voice he said to his father

"Riku?" Kyouken replied

"One day I will return to the Shikyo clan, not as an enemy but as someone who would want to change this world. You have brought balance among the Shikyo, but they still believe in them being superior. I admit on somethings father but others I cannot ignore. Im going to change how the Shikyo think one day, one day I will come back and show the Shikyo that all humans are created equal

Kyouken smiled lightly, Riku could remember how he would smile on how Riku would talk and how he would act calm all the time. It made Riku smile as he could tell that Kyouken was agreeing with him. Riku then left The Creed for the time being and began to establish himself as a shinobi.

**Present time**
Now he is officially nineteen years old. Young, talented, handsome and indeed an person with a plan. Idea's spark in his mind as he begins to venture into the world of the shinobi. As he is one of the candiates as the next Raikage, he only wishes that he could be more into the people. He is quiet at times, very shy and rarely talks due to his shyness like his father around new people. He hopes to open up someday.

*Five year time skip history*

The final battle between the phoenix and the shinobi who risked there lives in order to stop them was a success for the brave and valiant warriors. Riku, being amongst one of them, had successfully help lead the people fighting into a glorious victory. But rather than killing him, his father, Kyouken, spared his life, seeing that the phoenix was the last of his kind. Twisted and tormented the red phoenix was, Kyouken had felt the tremendous feel of sadness inside of him and rather than just killing him, he separted the two persona's inside of the the red phoenix. The red phoenix true and kind self against the other persona, called the black phoenix, into oblivion, never to be seen again. Kyouken placed the red phoenix back into its "rebirth" stage, allowing him to become a egg once again and that he can set forth towards a new era of the peaceful phoenix race. After the complete revelation of the red phoenix, Kyouken placed the soul of Riku's uncle, Kudara, back into his body. Seeing that the body of his uncle had been perserved by the phoenix, it was not uncommon for someone like Kyouken to place back his brother soul into the body. Kudara, waking up from his dorment sleep, looks out at Riku and Kyouken. He felt as though he has been sleeping for quite some time now and he was looking through the eyes of Kyouken for a very long time, seeing his adventures, his trials and his sorrows. He see's Riku for the first time and notice how he looked simular to Kyouken, which gave the hint that he was Kyouken's son. Proud to see Kyouken's son, he wondered whatever happen to his son, Battei. When Riku told him about the loss of his cousin, Kudara was surprise that he was defeated. As Kudara walked over to Battei's body, seeing his only son killed, made him heartbroken but he showed it in such a way that could not be described by Riku. Kudara had a placed smile on his face, but yet there were tears streaming down his cheek down onto Battei's face. Kyouken understood this type of sorrow, it was a peaceful type, knowing that Battei didnt die in vain nor die without any regrets. Kudara picked up Battei's body and asked to leave this place once and for al

lRiku had realized that returning to Kumogakure would not be the most logical thing to do at this time. The village was in turmoil, both in a state of almost total destruction plus it was politically unstable for anyone at the time to take control. Although he had great love for Kumogakure, he knew it would be wise for him to return back to the Shikyo clan and to Kirigakure. Because of his relationship with Rain during the times of the phoenix had grown, he would rather stay there and be with her for the time being. Returning back to water country where his father and his clanmates reside, he took the time during these moments of temporary peace to train his body, his mind and spirit to become stronger than he was before. Kyouken, knowing that he could train him, decided to put him under the tutelage of his brother Kudara Shikyo. Kyouken knew that he would need another type of training and since Kudara and Riku had simular abilities such as the use of lightning and extremely powerful taijutsu. Kyouken would teach him something later on, but at the time, he had to leave to venture out into another section of his life. It would be awhile before Kyouken would return. Kyouken left without saying goodbye to anyone but his wife Namine. She was the last person to see Kyouken before disappearing for a very long time

Training under the shadow of Kudara. he displayed a different personality than Kyouken cool and calm self. He was more of an outgoing and humorous type of person. Riku could tell that Uncle Kudara looked at life in a more comical view. He was almost like the exact likeness of Battei, being carefree and almost childish at times. He took a great liking to Kudara, only when Kudara was not playing pranks on Riku. Because of Kudara's tendancies, Riku was the victim for many of Kudara's pratical jokes, sometimes crude humor, perverted tendancies such as leading Riku into a bath house filled of woman where Kudara had changed the sign to make it say "Mens bath house". But nonetheless, Kudara cared for his nephew and at times, cherish the moments of becoming alot closer and closer to him. Riku also felt a closeness to his uncle. Even though he at times, disliked the pranks he does on him, he does like a good laugh from time to time. Sometimes, it would be very interesting conversations such as Kudara's past and what he did during the era where Kyouken was a spy for the A.T.A. Kudara explained to him that he knew that Kyouken was still working for that program. Even after he thought that Kyouken was working under his own will, he realized that the leader of the orgainization was still controlling Kyouken like a knight piece, going around. It was unethical at the time and Kudara explained all of it. Riku was amazed that Kyouken did not tell him that he was a spy for them.

There was many laughs and great funny ventures for Riku and Kudara, but the training sessions was no laughing matter. Kudara was one of the most brutal training instructor to have ever been assign to Riku. Everyday was something different and something harder than before. During one of the days that Riku would go through would be three times a day, Riku would spar Kudara. Sometimes, Kudara would disable Riku to only use his arms or his feet to attack. Sometimes, Kudara would place specially induced weights on Riku, making it heavier and heavier. At times it was hard for Riku to even move and then Kudara would attack. He would also make Riku travel in the weights and even design a special weighted clothes for Riku to move around and to even sleep. Although this was a very crude method of training, it was the most effective and Kudara knew that it would help him in the long run Kudara would also pratice to harness his speed better. Rather than using a controlled form of the Tenshu Hitokoki style like Kyouken, he taught him to use a rawer form of the running ability. Kudara explain to Riku that not all the opponent he will face will be able to handle the raw form of the Tenshu Hitokoki, that simple smarts at times wont help and it would easier to just overwhelm the opponent with that type of force. But the one thing that Kudara trained Riku was the ability to use Raiton Kaika to the most potent level. A dangerous style that Kudara had train him. Kudara did teach him a simpler way to use his recessive train alot easier but he knew that of the destructive forces of lightning that Kudara forbid him to use the Kaika against anyone unless it was truly nesscary. Riku would need alot more time and Kudara knew that time was not of the essence.

Training wasn't the only thing that was on Riku's mind constantly. There was one more person and that was the one person that Riku could say that he loved. Rain Matari, daughter of the former Mizukage. Meeting her during the time of the phoenix, he had confessed his feelings for her during the time of it. Cold as her persona might of been, she was able to confess her feeling as well and for a time being they were together living in Kirigakure. Thanks to her skills of persuasion, he was able to move from Kumogakure to Kirigakure with a official notice saying that he can pass through two villages. They spent their lives in Kirigakure for awhile then before Riku had to leave to train with Kudara and the A.T.A. He regretted that he was not able tell her but according to his mission, he was not suppose to tell her that he was leaving.

*Present*

Training, work, training, work, training, work. This was Riku's life for the five years he was gone in training with his uncle Kudara. The training methods had almost killed him, many times before but without the training, Riku would not be as strong as he is today. Today, Riku is alot more wiser than he was five years ago. Undergoing the training of his uncle, he knew it was time to venture out again as Kudara had nothing else to teach him. Riku, grateful, venture out into to the world. Going to the most deadliest organizations in the world at the time. The Akatsuki.
