Personality: Rihan is laid back, and easy going . He's relaxed persona, often puts people at odds, and his ability to remain...not necessarily calm, but optimistic regardless of the situation is a key trait of his. Charismatic, and witty, Rihan can charm even the most hardened of individuals. He rarely shows anger, or anything else aside from his sly personality. These traits have served him well, allowing him to mingle with virtually any crowd. Rihan is well known for his good looks, his fitness, his brilliant out-of-the-box thinking, ability to talk, lie or charm his way out of (or into) anything, and his charisma. As a Yakuza, these traits have served him well, allowing him to mingle with virtually any crowd, and win the cooperation of dozens of corporations and other highly influential people. His intelligence in his respective fields are unprecedented, surprising even seasoned veterans of his insightfulness.
Despite having a laid-back personality, Rihan is incapable of stepping back from a challenge no matter how dangerous or difficult it maybe. This part of his natures oftentimes causes him not to avoid taking the easy way out. Despite having a great sense of caution, he will continue as his sense of caution only makes the situation more thrilling. He has been known to smile in the faces of both danger and death. He also has a habit of having joyful tone in his voice whenever he combats a strong opponent due to wanting a challenge that will make him stronger at the end of it. The habit seems anger both his friends and foe alike, believing that he isn't taking their fight seriously.
He loves to fight, but he also loves messing around with people. He knows when he can play around and when he can get serious Rihan in combat situations, seems fairly deceptive. He will often downplay his own abilities so that he can shock a target later on with his true nature. He is highly confident in his abilities,but not arrogant. Rarely do taunts such as those often spoken by any of his opponents faze him and he has the unnatural trait to tell only the truth about his abilities once he finally decides to reveal them to his foes, something that seems to unnerve most of whom he faces.
Rihan also has a very loving and caring side to his personality and though he may not seem like it, he is a man of his word and honor, keeping his promises even when someone he's made a promise to is no longer there to hold him to it.He is also more perceptive than he seems, and often tells people what they need to hear instead of what they want.He is always at odds with his families arguably intimidating reputation has remained a calm and charismatic individual, with a knack for bringing out the best in people.He is also more perceptive than he seems, and often tells people what they need to hear instead of what they want.
Rihan is a calm and calculating man, unconventional and a warrior; who firmly believes that one man can change the world, whether it be from the shadows or through public action. Rihan is very adept at putting forth his own views and getting others to identify with his point of view, often with the result of them warming to his ideals; usually adopting them as their own in due course. Not only is he a natural orator who can sway others with his words, his eyes have been noted to have a similar quality, with a mere gaze he could inspire feelings of courage and hope, making others see things from his perspective"; showcasing his impressive charisma and inspiring air even without the use of words. He seems to be well aware of these traits though, and is more than willing to label himself as the catalyst and foundation stone. He is a man who doesn't believe in conformity
He holds the view that "when all think alike, then no one is thinking". His lack of conformity to anything is ultimately seen in his sense of dress and actions, as he rarely agrees with the collective whole; usually being the one to offer a different method of doing things or an additional point to a discussion. This attitude, as well as his past rebellious streak, made him a subject of much monitoring within the criminal underground, as well as a rallying point for others with similar ideals. Most officials believe he is a dangerous man and a potentially dangerous future element should he ever turn his impressive charisma and intelligence into politics.
To sum it up Rihan is a carefree man in a state of peace, but he can be aggressive and protective when those that he cares for are in danger. He's is 'cool' type of guy that can make friends with anyone if not everyone, and, if not friendship, at least respect. From the moment you make his acquaintance... the entire time he will test you. He will throw the entirety of himself at you ,and beat you. Then...he will acknowledge you,and you will have lost to him completely.

Weaknesses:
Rihan is incapable of stepping back from a direct challenge no matter how dangerous or difficult it maybe. This part of his nature oftentimes causes him not to avoid taking the easy way out. Due to the fact Nura are people greatly devoted to love and friendship, a member's love can be transformed into unrelenting hatred in the blink of an eye if they somehow lose those closest to them. This trait can cause Rihan to do anything and everything in his power to achieve his goals and show his own superiority, regardless of the consequences and repercussions of his actions. He cannot take being looked down on,or disrespect against his friends or family.
History:
Rihans background is relatively unknown, but it is known that he had lived previously with his parents and older brother,and younger sister and was once very close with his older brother. Born the middle child of Makai Nurarihyon and Retsuna Kurayami, Rihan and his brother Kokuryū often taken around on his father's patrols (much to their mother's dismay). Growing up, Rihan and Kokuryū surrounded by a wide variety of criminals,many of whom watched after them at their grandfather's behest when their father away. The two brothers frequently pulled pranks on them, and viewed their grandfather and the Yakuza world with a sense of awe. As a child, he was excited at the prospect of succeeding his father.
When Rihan was 5, his mother was killed in a gang attack aimed at his father. The incident occurred on a snowy day, supposedly the first day Rihan saw snow. His mother had taken him outside, and was building a snowman with him when gangsters unleashed a barrage of bullets aimed at Rihan; Retsuna lost her life in the crossfire. The sorrow the young Rihan experienced during this time instigated the awakening of the his power the first of his fathers meta-human abilities. From that point on he grew to dislike snow, to the point he would vacation in the farthest place away from it during winters, as snow was a constant reminder of that traumatic event. The image of snow stained red with his mothers blood is one of the defining memories he has of the incident.
At a routine Clan council meeting, his grandfather formally announced his intention to pass leadership of the clan to Rihan.However, thanks to various school presentations, Rihan learned that Yakuza were actually renowned for doing evil deeds. When he tried to contest it with knowledge of the Yakuza in his household, his classmates teased and ostracized him. As a result, he decided it was best not to mention his yakuza roots around others,and he adamantly refused the position.
A clan board member, Gagoze Byakko, who had believed himself best suited to the position, attacked a limo he believed Rihan to be riding in an attempt to kill the boy with the help of a group of known as the Gitsune family. At the site of the accident, he faced and defeated Gagoze and declared his intent to become the twice man that his father and grandfather were and destroy the Gitsune; who he had learned organized the murder of his father and killed his mother.
As he reached his teenage years, Rihan found that he was considered very popular amongst the Cafe Society as he was now substantially wealthy. It soon became apparent that these aristocrats were not interested in him for his personality or his ideals,but his money. He used this superficial interest to his advantage, and slowly built up his families image and formed it into the corporate organization it is today.
In his early years, he seemed overeager and a bit rash. Always taking projects above his scope of expertise and taking the risks no business man would dare to do.He also had a habit of being a ladies man in whatever place he resided in and had quiet a few women interested in him. His play boy attitude made him a liability to the company,and he needed to be reigned in. Unable to bear watching his little brother carry on the way he did Kokuryū tried everything he could to make his brother grow up. Kokuryū even gave Rihan a job as a beta tester and consultant at his video game company. One after another, Rihan kept coming up with strange, adaptable new game designs that even Kokuryū could not imagine leading to the business success. At that time, the siblings started to play games as a Two in One. With an unbroken streak of victories, the two of them even came to be regarded as an urban legend on the Internet. On his birthday a letter came to Rihan with a copy of WUO from his brother who was away on business. Its message was brief,but whatever it was its enough to make Rihan want to explore the game.

Abilities:
Cloak
The user equips shadows as a cloak of sorts, dissolving into them or draping the dark over their figure. Cloaking allows the user to go incognito in the day and muffles their footsteps, but should the user speak above a whisper the cloak will shatter quietly. Should another player touch or run into a cloak, they will break the spell.
⊲ Cloaking oneself is simple and considered the passive side to this ability. Typically used to travel in the day.
↳ Costs 20 mana to cloak.
⊲ The user may also cloak other players, but it does not mean the user cannot continue cloaking them-self. The max number of players the user may cloak depends on the users stamina and mana.
↳ Costs 20 mana and 10 stamina per person cloaked.
⊲ Casting a cloak on a non-organic matter is the most advanced option to this ability as the target could either be an entire structure or a weapon.
↳ Costs 40 mana to cast and 20 stamina per post Cloak is used.
Phantasm
Phantasm is an ability the user must prep to use. An illusion must be weaved together to cast on a foe or area. The illusion can tamper with sight, hearing, and smell, but taste and touch are beyond its capabilities. Phantasm can take on the form of a sweet daydream, or twist into a waking nightmare, all depending on the user's intentions.
⊲ Cast on another player, Phantasm will only interfere with their senses. Typically used during the heat of battle as a distraction, but can also find other purposes, like reminding a person of a past memory.
↳ Costs 40 mana to cast.
⊲ When used on an area, the user may create a mirage that any who encounter will see. The mirage acts like one in a desert, there but always just enough out of reach that the target is never satisfied. The illusion can be broken by the target should they attempt to eat or touch anything, which is why casting Phantasm on an area is tricky.
↳ Costs 80 mana to cast and 20 stamina per post Phantasm is used.
