Hair Color/Style:Straight startling silvery white hair that end somewhat spiky-ish and falls just past his shoulders
Face Claim:Riku
Brief Overview: Riku is a pretty-boy most would say from his startling hair color to his cool, sharp eyes. Both his eyes and his hair are the two most notable features on Riku�s person. He has shoulder length straight silvery-white hair that he sometimes lets grow a little past his shoulders. It ends somewhat spiky-ish at times with a few layers as well. His bangs sometimes fall in his eyes so much of the time he has to brush them out but when he feels its too much trouble he just leaves it as is. His eyes are a sharp yet soft at times aquamarine that can be either unnerving or entrancing. They always have a sparkle in them, especially when he�s up to something. It�s obvious to tell that while highly capable of smiling the only thing that really graces Riku�s lips is a playfully condescending smirk.

His height is another interesting aspect of Riku seeing as he�s quite tall. From the ground up Riku reaches a good five feet, nine inches and weighs a healthy hundred and thirty-four pounds. Another interesting aspect is his soft complexion since even though he�s spent plenty of time in the sun Riku hasn�t caught the slightest tan. His skin is a smooth almost unblemished porcelain complexion that adds to his �pretty boy� looks. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder blade that he got when he was eighteen and a scar on the palm of his right hand that he got when he was twelve.

Although artistic in nature Riku has played plenty of sports and worked out. So in truth he�s quite lean yet lithe as well. He�s not overly muscular but the slight muscles are noticeable depending on the clothing he wears. He has abs and a tight stomach and his arms as well as legs have just the right amount of leanness so it�s obvious to tell he doesn�t sit around at a desk all day long.

Overview:
A cool and collected young man when you first meet Riku you�d find him to be a bit chilly and stand-offish. This isn�t so however, infact Riku is actually a quite caring individual it�s just a little hard to see at first. His confident attitude and seemingly arrogant ways rub people the wrong way the majority of the time so not many get the chance to see the deeper side of him. However, Riku is actually quite a friendly and playful individual that likes a little competition and adventure. He likes exploring new places and going where he�s never gone before (even if it gets him into trouble at times). He has a good heart and always tries to help his friends even though sometimes he does it in a round about way.

Riku is an awkward and insecure individual if you really get to know him. It�s why he acts so confident the majority of the time to hide it. He�s not used to a lot of contact with other children so he doesn�t have the best social skills but he tries. Riku is always up for helping but sometimes he makes the wrong decisions although they are with good intentions. In a way the saying �the road to hell is paved with good intentions� is somewhat applied to him. He can be somewhat impulsive at times, acting out first before thinking things through and this leads to very bad consequences majority of the time.

He is highly protective of those he befriends, always willing to stick up for them and have their back. He is very loyal and once he befriends someone he sticks by their side whenever they need him. While impulsive, Riku is good at keeping his composure when people try to test his patience with them. Riku is also quick thinking, in tough situations or during a test he can come up with a solution pretty quickly and sometimes it adds to his impulsiveness. Witty and sarcastic Riku can sometimes come out with either biting remarks to make his irritation known or use them in playful competitions with rivals or friends. They�re his way of expression his emotions whether it be irritation, exasperation, fondness or Riku just being himself.

Added:There has been a slight shift within Riku after coming back to Kingdom University. There's a darker more twisted side to the young man. Something that keeps him trapped within the darkness of his heart and causes him to withdraw into himself. Once in a while he'll snap at someone or go off by himself. Going into strange moods when ever he lets his mind wander too far for his own good.

Mother: Miku Ichihara, 36, Interior designer
Father: Akira Ichihara, 40, President of Ichihara Enterprise
Siblings:Brother- Ryuu Ichihara, 18, Adopted son
Other-Uknown
Home town: Destiny Island
Overview:
Riku was born at Destiny Islands to Miku and Akira Ichihara, two very wealthy people. In the beginning Riku had been a very happy child with just his parents around, na�ve to the inner workings of his family. However, as he grew older there was less and less time for his parents to spend with him. It didn�t help that neither Miku nor Akira wanted their son to play with the other children. Instead they wanted him to study and get ready to take over Ichihara Enterprise when he grew up. He was constantly slipping away when he tutor�s weren�t looking though and exploring the neighborhood, even making a few friends with the neighborhood children although he was awkward with them before he was dragged away by one of his parents.

They found this part of Riku troublesome and were continuously threatening to ship him off to boarding school if he continued. Of course Riku was an adventurous young boy so he hardly ever listened really, always finding time to slip off whenever someone�s back was turned. A part of Riku realized he was doing it to get attention from his parents since they now had so little time for him as he got older while the other part naturally enjoyed exploring. For a while they let him be so long as he kept up his grades and continued on with his tutoring.

Near the age of fourteen though, Riku practically lived at home alone. He never saw his parents save for glimpses of them in the morning when they were rushing off to work and at night when they were rushing off to bed. With less and less contact with his parents and even those of the neighborhood kids because of the increase in classes and tutoring Riku was beginning to get lonely. He hardly saw his parents and his only companion at home was a few servants and his pet cat. Slowly Riku�s grades began to drop as he lost interest in his studies. No amount of threats from his parents was helping though as he remained stubborn in his decision to let his grades continue to drop. Finally fed up with Riku�s attitude his father confronted him on what was going on with him.

After a bit of arguing about both his father and mother being absent from his life yet taking control of his studies and trying to control his life, Akira relented. They made a deal that they would try to see their son more often and that he could choose his classes from no on so long as he continued to keep his grades up. Reluctant but content with the deal Riku agreed to it. While not totally in his life his parents began to spend more time with Riku and they began to mend the relationship that had been strained between them. In his junior year in highschool Riku began to explore the arts. Learning he had a talent for drawing and painting, his favorite being oil based painting. Through his last year of highschool Riku developed in talent in the arts and his grades were at the top of his class. It was in his senior year that his father expressed his wishes that Riku would go to Kingdom University like he had before him. While hesitant Riku agreed once he got a look at the University, instantly taking a liking to it. To this day Riku isn�t sure how but at the end of his senior year he received an acceptance letter from KU. Unknown to him his father had been a generous donator to the school so it is unsurprising that when he paid another generous amount the school was all too happy to let in his son.

While keeping to himself much of his first year in KU Riku has made a few friends within the school. He�s also impressed many of his teacher�s with his intelligence and quick thinking. However, they were a little bemused that he sometimes had a habit of drifting off during class if it got to boring and start cloud watching in his window seat.

Added:During his second year Riku had to leave the school for a while. It turns out he'd found out that his father adopted a child and went to see who. It turned out that it was a boy who'd suffered only to have to suffer his uncaring father after it turned out the boy would be an unfit heir. Riku stayed for a time to watch over the boy and take care of him in his father's stead. However, he had to leave because the school's numerous calls and warnings that he would be kicked out. So with a heavy heart filled with guilt and anger Riku left and the darkness blossomed in his heart. However, he never realized there was another pair of eyes watching him from a window as he left.

Added:
Riku is now entering his third year in KU but all is not well with the Silverette. The strain his departure put on his relationship with his father continues to grow the more the man neglects his new brother. He feels as though something is being hidden from him but he doesn't know what. Add to the fact that his emotions have been a messed up blur and Riku's becoming a bit more volatile. As much as he tries to hide it from his friends, this 3rd year might drive Riku to his boiling point.

Name: Seraphim
Age: 18
How Did You Find Us? Used to be a member
Roleplay Sample:
Jezebel watched closely as humans passed her by, a blank expression on her face. Her nerves were frayed and her emotions were on the edge of snapping. She was one good push away from loosing the little bit of sanity she had and killing the next person who spoke to her. The days had been unkind to her and she was tearing herself apart the more she thought about what she had lost. No thanks to Joshua and his persistence to chase her around the whole world she was slowly succumbing to her insanity.

Humans�Jezebel could not help but envy them. They only had to worry about the now. While she�she had only an eternity to live with the wariness of hunters. Her heart that had long died was frozen over yet still felt. Jezebel wished she could have turned back time and simply let the raiders kill her. Then she would not have to go through centuries of repeated mistakes. First she had to watch her fianc� die in a war that had not been his own, then her vampire lover betrayed her for another, more human men and women that she cared for died as years past then finally�Jessica. The one she�d watched grow from a child and had nurtured had let into her heart to the point where she�d been like her own daughter.

She�d been the last straw and now she simply wanted revenge. She could hardly stand getting up in bed as of late. Between thoughts of Joshua, her sire, and Serafina, Jezebel could hardly handle it anymore and if she weren�t already dead she would think she was dying. For all her life nothing but tragedy seemed to follow and Jezebel cursed the fates for it every day. She no longer cared how much longer she�d have to endure. She no longer cared how much longer she had to wait in telling Joshua the truth. She simply wanted someone like Jessica. Someone who would sit by her side, know her darkest secret, and be neither disgusted nor scared of her.

She simply wanted someone who would understand and love her. Serafina was a fledgling worth dying for of course but it wasn�t the same. It would never be the same and that was what tore at Jezebel constantly. She had no fledgling to pass on her line, to share her joys or her angers. It hurt to no end but like everything Jezebel simply continued to ignore it while it became a sore and it would fester until it snapped. Exactly like how it was starting to fester now, deep inside her as she watched the humans pass her by.
