She had a pretty positive upbringing, only clouded slightly by her parents divorce that did hit her slightly harder than her sibling - she was always a little jealous of him being able to bounce back from hardships while Rikku occasionally let her feelings get the better of her.

They knew how each other worked, he was good at calming her down and she was good at helping him to resist some of his temptations, even stopping him from taking things too far. Both being very sport orientated, they were part of the same friendship group, and even trained together - knowing more about each other than they maybe should.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Twin Claws █ ▬ Twin claws are two single blade daggers that have a circular hilt, they are easy to hold and easy to move around in Rikku's hands. The blades can be altered into two yellow and red handguns, and can also have chains attached that Rikku can use to create a little bit of distance between her and her foes, also using these to escape if needed. █Melee Form ▬ Twin Claws █Ranged Form ▬ Two simple, red and yellow handguns. █Other Form(s) ▬ Chain Blades - These have a length of 20 yards and can be used to get Rikku out of a bad situation or into one. █Ammo Type ▬ Physical █ ▬ These blades are built for speed, not strength. Any hits with these blades aren't going to hit hard, but fast. If Rikku is for some reason not able to utilize her speed, she is rendered very useless unless she has enough aura to activate her semblance.
█*NAME ▬ Adaption █*AURA COLOR ▬ Golden █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Rikku's semblance allows her to adapt her entire build and fighting style to the battles needs, changing her appearance and equipping her with a new weapon that at the beginning, she has to learn to fight with. For each new 'class' that Rikku becomes, she gains certain strengths and weakness, allowing her to adapt to help herself and her team. An example of this, is if Rikku is about to get hit by a strong move and has time, she can change into her warrior form, making her more of a tank and able to take more punishment with her large sword.
Rikku can use this ability for a certain amount of posts, this increases as she becomes more powerful. For every post Rikku utilizes her semblance it requires a cool down. At level 0 this is 1 to 1 and the semblance can be maintained for 6 posts. At level 1 it is 1 to 1 and can be maintained for 8 posts. At level 2 it is 2 to 1 posts and the semblance can be maintained for 10 posts. At level 3 it is 2 to 1 and can be maintained for 12 posts. Her cooldown, however, is doubled if Berserker was used during that activation.
She may change her build once her post, but cannot use the same build twice until she's level 2. All weapons summoned are unable to be changed, they remain in the same form and are a manifestation of her aura.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ At level 0; Rikku is limited in her classes, she is able to use the Gunner, Warrior and Berserker builds. At this level, the berserker build is a last resort build, and almost rids Rikku of all aura and all energy. Rikku's ability lasts for 6 posts, the cooldown for this 6 posts. █*LEVEL 1▬ Rikku can now unlock the Myrmidon and Lancer builds, however will have to learn how to use these weapons almost from scratch. The Beserker build can now last longer, however still makes her exhausted once it's over. █*LEVEL 2▬ Rikku can now use her Monk form, and can sustain all builds for longer. The Beserker build can last a longer period of time, and makes her less exhausted - still able to fight afterwards. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ All builds are at their peak form, Rikku is proficient at the weapons and all forms can last for a longer length of time.
Classes: (All forms are only for the clothing - the weapons are randomised in appearance to keep up with my demands for changes in pictures)
Beserker (Cheetah Form) Rikku is able to travel on all fours, making her faster, sharper with turns and more vicious with her attacks. She grows sharp claws on her hands and feet that she uses to slice her way through enemies. Berserker mode is used as a last resort until later levels, The longer that Rikku is in this form, the more she loses herself to the influence of it. As she becomes angry, it becomes evident that this form is beginning to influence her. Level 0 - Lasts for 4 posts, cooldown is 10 posts and using this build will render her useless for 8 posts. Level 1 - Lasts for 5 posts, cooldown is 7 posts and using this build will use most of her energy, however she is still able to fight, a lot slower and more prone to being hit. Level 2 - Lasts for 5 posts, cooldown is 5 posts. Using this build will use some energy, however she can still fight. Level 3 - Lasts for 6 posts, cooldown is 5 posts. She can maintain a decent amount of energy after using this form.
Myrmidon (Power Form) Rikku utilizes two longer swords in this form. This is a well balanced form, as she gains some strength as well as speed. As her levels increase, so does the harshness of her attacks. She can maintain a speed of 75mph for a longer period of time than normal, and gains a max strength of 30lbs to compensate for larger, quicker swings with her blades.
Gunner (Range Form) Rikku gains more speed, and is able to create distance easily between her foes using two guns and hooks. She gains a max speed of 80mph, and can maintain this speed for bursts before having to take it slower, this only lasts for the part she uses it in a post (for example, if she needs to reach somewhere she uses it, and then has to cooldown) and requires a post before she can do it again. Her guns remain the same, she has two twin handguns. Attached to the backs of them however are small hooks, these extend to a length of 20 yards max and can be used to help propel her around the field or even use these against her opponent.
Warrior (Tank Form) Rikku suffers a decline in her speed in this form, however becomes significantly more resilient to damage. She is able to take stronger hits, however with each swing of her large sword leaves herself open to counter attacks. Her strength increases, so she is able to handle the large sword and as she gains power in levels, she gains more brute strength. In this form Rikku can lift 600lbs of weight, this increases to 700lbs at level 2. (Normal weight she can lift is 15lbs)
Glaive (Agility Form) Rikku gains a double sided glaive that has one sharp side and the other blunt. It reaches a length of 7ft and she can use this to pole vault herself around the battlefield, creating a tricky target to catch at times.
Monk (Hand-to-hand) Rikku gains two wrist wraps that protect her hands from the brute damage she deals in this form. This form relies on her agility, movement and a gained increase in the force that her punches and kicks do. The impact of her blows deal damage with a force of about 70bls compared to her sharp but weak hits.
█*DRAWBACKS ▬
If she has been attacked in one build to the point of exhaustion or unable to fight anymore, Rikku can no longer change her build and has to wait at least 5 posts before she can get the energy back to change.

Hi there, my name is Apathy and I'll be judging your profile today! X Ineligibility XXX ○ At this moment in time Rikku cannot be approved because you do not actively qualify to make a new RPC. Once you've maintained 1 post a week activity for one month with your current characters [Unless something within reason is obstructing that flow in RP], we will grant an official approval. Until then, we will still judge the profile and get it prepared for when you qualify.
X Attributes XXX ○ Weakness: I, unfortunately, am unable to accept ill temper as a weakness. Please find another exploitable weakness for this character.
X Semblance XXX ○ What happens to her weapons when shifting through her forms. Does she wield all of these weapons actively, or are they a manifestation of her aura as I assume her clothes are? Keep in mind that these weapons cannot have a transforming capability like your primary weapon does.
XXX ○ Post Count: As we talked about briefly before, I believe that the various 'builds' need to have a uniform active post count and cooldown. Elsewise it'll be difficult to keep track of how many posts you have available for each build. Here are some ideas that we talked about to make it a bit easier to follow.
For every post Rikku utilizes her semblance it requires a cool down. At level 0 this is 1 to 1 and the semblance can be maintained for 5 posts. At level 1 it is 1 to 1 and can be maintained for 7 posts. At level 2 it is 2 to 1 posts and the semblance can be maintained for 9 posts. At level 3 it is 2 to 1 and can be maintained for 12 posts. Her cooldown, however, is doubled if Berserker was used during that activation. Doing this will allow more leisure in your adaptability as you will not have to dedicate a full post count, thus granting you the ability to recover in a more timely manner. Within this active semblance use, she may only utilize any build consistently for [x] posts, this number increases as her level increases. [x = 3, 4, 5, 6 in accordance to the level.] She may change her build once her post, but cannot use the same build twice until she's level 2.
This might sound a little more complicated, but I think if written out properly it'll make things a bit easier. This way you also don't need to include the posts counts in all of your builds and focus more on the build themselves.
XXX ○ Berserker Build: I'm not a fan of how her mental state is worded with the use of Berserker. It isn't direct enough in the drawback of it. I'd like to propose a concept of the longer she's using berserker, the more she loses herself to its influence. So every post she loses control of herself more. To fit this in with the new post count system we're implementing with her, I'd also like to recommend that using Berserker makes her cooldown doubled as I mentioned above.
I'd like an example or more detailed stat of how her strength and speed are increased.
XXX ○ Myrmidon: I'd like an example or more detailed stat of how her strength and speed are increased.
XXX ○ Gunner: I'd like an example or more detailed stat of how her speed increases. Please explain the type of gun she receives and what these hooks are designed to do including their size.
XXX ○ Warrior: I'd like an example or more detailed stat of how her strength and defense increase. How large is her sword in this state? I also need more information on these energy bursts mentioned. • At what level can she start creating these energy bursts? • What can these bursts do? How much damage do they do, as well as their size? • How many energy bursts can she manage with a use of her semblance?
XXX ○ Lancer: How long is this spear? This will give us a better idea of her range capability as Lancer.
XXX ○ Monk Build: No information has been given on the monk build. Please explain in detail what this build is capable of.
XXX ○ Feel free to contact me directly to talk about these, as we have done previously. I've pointed out a few issues that we did not talk about prior. Thank you and I look forward to working with you to iron out these details!

If Rikku is for some reason not able to utilize her speed, she is rendered very useless unless she has enough aura to activate her semblance.
█*NAME ▬ Adaption █*AURA COLOR ▬ Golden █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Rikku's semblance allows her to adapt her entire build and fighting style to the battles needs, changing her appearance and equipping her with a new weapon that at the beginning, she has to learn to fight with. For each new 'class' that Rikku becomes, she gains certain strengths and weakness, allowing her to adapt to help herself and her team. An example of this, is if Rikku is about to get hit by a strong move and has time, she can change into her warrior form, making her more of a tank and able to take more punishment with her large sword.
Rikku can use this ability for a certain amount of posts, this increases as she becomes more powerful. For every post Rikku utilizes her semblance it requires a cool down. At level 0 this is 1 to 1 and the semblance can be maintained for 6 posts. At level 1 it is 1 to 1 and can be maintained for 8 posts. At level 2 it is 2 to 1 posts and the semblance can be maintained for 10 posts. At level 3 it is 2 to 1 and can be maintained for 12 posts. Her cooldown, however, is doubled if Berserker was used during that activation.
She may change her build once her post, but cannot use the same build twice until she's level 2. All weapons summoned are unable to be changed, they remain in the same form and are a manifestation of her aura.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ At level 0; Rikku is limited in her classes, she is able to use the Gunner, Warrior and Berserker builds. At this level, the berserker build is a last resort build, and almost rids Rikku of all aura and all energy. Rikku's ability lasts for 6 posts, the cooldown for this 6 posts. █*LEVEL 1▬ Rikku can now unlock the Myrmidon and Lancer builds, however will have to learn how to use these weapons almost from scratch. The Beserker build can now last longer, however still makes her exhausted once it's over. █*LEVEL 2▬ Rikku can now use her Monk form, and can sustain all builds for longer. The Beserker build can last a longer period of time, and makes her less exhausted - still able to fight afterwards. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ All builds are at their peak form, Rikku is proficient at the weapons and all forms can last for a longer length of time.
Classes: (All forms are only for the clothing - the weapons are randomised in appearance to keep up with my demands for changes in pictures)
Beserker (Cheetah Form) Rikku is able to travel on all fours, making her faster, sharper with turns and more vicious with her attacks. She grows sharp claws on her hands and feet that she uses to slice her way through enemies. Berserker mode is used as a last resort until later levels, The longer that Rikku is in this form, the more she loses herself to the influence of it. As she becomes angry, it becomes evident that this form is beginning to influence her. Level 0 - Lasts for 4 posts, cooldown is 10 posts and using this build will render her useless for 8 posts. Level 1 - Lasts for 5 posts, cooldown is 7 posts and using this build will use most of her energy, however she is still able to fight, a lot slower and more prone to being hit. Level 2 - Lasts for 5 posts, cooldown is 5 posts. Using this build will use some energy, however she can still fight. Level 3 - Lasts for 6 posts, cooldown is 5 posts. She can maintain a decent amount of energy after using this form.
Myrmidon (Power Form) Rikku utilizes two longer swords in this form. This is a well balanced form, as she gains some strength as well as speed. As her levels increase, so does the harshness of her attacks. She can maintain a speed of 75mph for a longer period of time than normal, and gains a max strength of 30lbs to compensate for larger, quicker swings with her blades.
Gunner (Range Form) Rikku gains more speed, and is able to create distance easily between her foes using two guns and hooks. She gains a max speed of 80mph, and can maintain this speed for bursts before having to take it slower, this only lasts for the part she uses it in a post (for example, if she needs to reach somewhere she uses it, and then has to cooldown) and requires a post before she can do it again. Her guns remain the same, she has two twin handguns. Attached to the backs of them however are small hooks, these extend to a length of 20 yards max and can be used to help propel her around the field or even use these against her opponent.
Warrior (Tank Form) Rikku suffers a decline in her speed in this form, however becomes significantly more resilient to damage. She is able to take stronger hits, however with each swing of her large sword leaves herself open to counter attacks. Her strength increases, so she is able to handle the large sword and as she gains power in levels, she gains more brute strength. In this form Rikku can lift 600lbs of weight, this increases to 700lbs at level 2. (Normal weight she can lift is 15lbs)
Glaive (Agility Form) Rikku gains a double sided glaive that has one sharp side and the other blunt. It reaches a length of 7ft and she can use this to pole vault herself around the battlefield, creating a tricky target to catch at times.
Monk (Hand-to-hand) Rikku gains two wrist wraps that protect her hands from the brute damage she deals in this form. This form relies on her agility, movement and a gained increase in the force that her punches and kicks do. The impact of her blows deal damage with a force of about 70bls compared to her sharp but weak hits.
█*DRAWBACKS ▬
If she has been attacked in one build to the point of exhaustion or unable to fight anymore, Rikku can no longer change her build and has to wait at least 5 posts before she can get the energy back to change.
