HUMAN, gou riki.

NAME: Riki, Gou

ALIAS: Gouriki (It was a pun his parents used, as Gouriki can be called "Herculean Power" or something along those lines, so most people call him "Gouriki" or "Go".)

AGE: 17

GENDER: Male

RACE: Human

APPEARANCE: Gou is pretty short compared to most people (5 foot 3 inches), and isn't someone who would stand out in a crowd in terms of height. His height belittles his appearance however, as he is indeed very strong as his body shows, having an amazingly sculpted body underneath all that shortness. His hair is red at the front (highlights as black is their true color) and black in the back. His skin is lightly tanned yet white and is also very "tough" for a human, and his muscles though small are firm. His eyes are an amber/brown color.

Considering his personality, Gou is someone who likes to wear "cool" clothing, though not really flashy per say. Taking what he has seen from movies on "manliness", he considers wearing gakuran of old "bancho" during his time outside of school though it is made short so it doesn't affect his ability to move. He wraps his fists constantly always looking for a scrap and battle using his martial arts and skills. He even wears a signature hat that he bought from online from on of his favorite fictional bancho. He wears a red-shirt with a sun on it, and also has the same sun which he made on the back of his gakuran. His pants are more made of sports-wear and his shoes are tennis shoes, he usually wears one bandage on his person at all times showcasing his constant fighting.

During school times, he wears his school specified uniform, with an open collar.

PERSONALITY: Humble, he doesn't think of himself as anything more than a martial artist who is trying to find his own path. Passionate, when in a heated conflict or seeking out for a strong opposition, he can become less quiet and more "spirited" in his approach. Helpful, he actively helps those that need his help, and is someone who is helpful to others as well especially the older generation. Justice, he believes in it that the line between right and wrong lies in "method". Honorable, he is never one to fight dishonorably against any opponent even if they use low-blows against him he is withstanding and "strong" taking hits if need be to protect people that can't protect themselves. Adaptive, he can conform to situations most people can't easily such as the revelation that "a spiritual plane exists".

Assertive, he takes seriously combat situations and isn't afraid to fight at full-power, he can also be considered stubborn. Seriousness, he has a tendency to be too serious even in joking situations, and is very flat in terms of "jolliness". Perfectionist, he does the best in everything he tries even if he is completely bad at it, this goes double for martial arts. Naive, he can be dumb in terms of social situations and is someone who believes that fights honorably can't be all bad; he is also not very good at "book" smarts and analyzing situations and is simplistic. Linear, he has a straightforward approach to life, and combat focusing on said abilities and perfecting the technique to its pinnacle, he also has no capacity for really lying though is very blunt in his words.

HISTORY: Gou has half Japanese, half Chinese roots despite looking more on the former side. His grandfather who is his only living relative (known at least thanks to his parents, aunt and grandmothers deaths) has been training him in Hakkyokuken [Eight Extremities Fist], a powerful martial art that is supposedly the strongest in China. Gou has naturally practiced his martial arts though used to do so to prove his worth to others thanks to naturally being shorter than others and got into a lot of fights which he didn't tell his grandfather. After one huge incident where he almost took someones life with his abilities, he hated himself for a year and told his grandfather about such an incident who started to tell him what a true martial artist was which he took to heart and started to change slowly.

This slow change made him a kinder and wiser person as he wished to understand the true meaning of "strength" as he practiced said martial prowess. Sometime after he began to get into the "Bancho" mentality and made a change in persona considering himself a bringer of his own justice, and instead using his martial abilities to help others. Sometime after this, a strange incident with a particular person and his physical training would unlock his spiritual awareness allowing him to see said spirits, though he thought it strange he liked the idea of a more interesting world.

With such recent occurrences, he has talked to his grandfather to understand such an ability to which his grandfather has said that he also has such an ability. His grandfather explains about said abilities that things like "qi" (Inner Power) are actually related to the abilities that have unlocked within him. Thanks to this, he has begun to train in more difficult ways with his grandfather in order to understand spiritual power, while also connecting and keeping his normal life, "normal".
