− | + | Around the general population, Riki is actually known as Riki. Riki is someone who carries a cool, dispassionate demeanor. He carries an introverted nature, not likely to initiate the conversation with the normal populace. He speaks few words, preferring to use his body language. However, if he is prompted to speak, he uses concise words. | |
+ | |||
+ | When he does speak, he is polite, albeit monotone. He will always refer to the individual that he is speaking to by their last name and the proper honorifics, as if in business terms rather than informal. In that regards, he is less likely to tell a person, 'You are an idiot' but rather, 'You are making an ill-advised decision' should he find it necessary to speak. He tries to remain factual if possible. Oddly enough, Riki is not without a sense of humor(even if it is hard to tell). Some of his comments, however, if he does happen to make a joke, it would be hard to tell if he is joking due to the monotone. Due to some of them being a tad morbid, it leaves in the air if the person want to find out if he -is- joking. | ||

+ | He presents himself as a very patient person, able to listen to someone should they need someone to speak to. As he does not carry an accusative tone about him and he doesn't tend to speak out much, it may make him an easier target for someone to talk to their problems to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Starting off with obvious passion, science is the one thing that Riki cares about the most. Riki spent most of his life raised around scientists. He often went with his father to work. Even if there were times where Riki could not be with his father, he had the other scientists to play around and ask questions for. This increased his aptitude on the mechanics of science. Since his developmental ages, he has displayed a knack towards mechanics in terms of putting things together. That is why Riki has developed his field towards inventing tools and devices. With the recent encounter with the supernatural it drew his interest to learn more about the supernatural from the monsters to the shadows. This put him under the field of Cryptozoology. This field is more of a hobbyist deal than an actual field(then again, cryptozoology is not really realistic anyway, but for Persona? Why not?). This means that he'll use the laboratory to examine any of the bodies of the supernatural creatures brought to him from dissecting it to examining the parts. He'll even use it to help him trace the figure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is one principle that Riki abides by: He will never make anything lethal. He absolutely refuses to deal with anything that involves taking another life. Because of that, all of his devices are non-lethal. Even when the invention goes wrong, he'll have some safety mechanism as to try to deter the repercussions of the invention going wrong. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tea time is an honored tradition. It is the sake of doing gentlemanly things, per se. He often prepares the tea himself. It is used as an open communication(as open as Riki/Riki will allow). There is nothing better than for people to take their mind off of things with tea. Riki instilled this because it was a way for to be with his father, even with the rift between them. It felt like a very thin bridge between the two. As such, Riki allows it with others to keep that feeling that may be lost if he did not uphold it. It is his form of security of being himself yet remain as how he portrays himself. He is maintain the degree of elegance about him, yet at the same time, enjoy what he does. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One trait that is more odd is his sweet tooth habit. It is a quirk, to say the least. He always has some kind of candy with him. Most likely, it'll be a stick of pocky in his mouth or a beanstick. He isn't the type to carry cake or pie unless it goes along with tea-time. Even then, it is more as a social tool. Nevertheless, it will be difficult to actually see Riki without some sort of candy around. | ||
