Rik the Spider Monkey/Trivia & Misc.

== Starting out as a character ==
When working on Rik at the time, the creator was heavily inspired by Monkey D. Luffy of the One Piece series as with the rest of his characters and the story that they all starred in. As time went on and more characters were being created, Rik went through a certain number of changes in his Personality and Appearance in attempts to stray Rik away from his influences from Luffy. During his heavy revisions, Rik's personality transition was mainly inspired by Ryu Hoshi, Jin Kazama and Piccolo from the Street Fighter, Tekken, and Dragon Ball franchises respectively. As such, Rik's characteristics and personality drastically differed from the concept he immediately started out with.
Rik was first featured as a lighter and more slender Spider Monkey with purple eyes and his tail had a very noticable burn at the end of it. Rik back then was a character with more of a jubilant, dynamic and spirited personality. Rik was also more simpleminded and oblivious during points of the Flash series (Which has officially been renamed to the Circles of Fate series respectively) but was later on changed due to the creator believing Rik would soon fall under the "Obnoxious Blondes" category of a story. By years and new characters being featured, Rik has gained the most redesigns and revisions in both his abilities and powers 
===List of previous designs===
*1st Design: Created in the infamous Furry Doll Maker Flash System, Rik was created and debuted. He appeared with very light yellow eyes and fur along with whiter fur on his chest. He was shirtless but wore a red coat with black jeans and blue shoes. Rik also had a Beta weapon called Pote-Gauntlets.
*2nd Design: Away from the FDM System and sketched on paper, Rik had appeared with a design that heavily differentiated from his first one. His ears were more curved than pointed, his hair was much shorter, and his body had gotten wider. He wore a T-shirt with the initials G.T.K. which stood for: Go To Karol's (A certain resturaunt in the Authenian world). Rik also wore jean shorts and new shoes. 
*3rd Design: Not a very stronger revision however there are noticable changes. Rik had much darker fur and his muzzle had become much more fuzzy as there were strands at the end of his cheeks. His eyelids were more shaded also he had gotten a large earring in his left ear. 
*4th Design: Rik acquired a new shorter vest-like jacket and more detail pants officially taking away his shorts. Rik also had gained a backpack and a new shirt. Also to note, Rik's Eyes and nose have gotten sufficiently bigger along the removal of his earring being replaced by one of his fangs exposed from his mouth. 
*5th Design: While not as big of a redesign, his hair had gotten bigger though his sideburns have gotten shorter. 
*6th Design: Rik's fur had returned to being a brighter yellow than before and his hair had gotten longer as two of his bangs had become brown and he acquired a purple choker around his neck. His eyes had now become a dark grey as being changed from yellow. The inside of his ears had also become a dark brown. 
*7th Design: Rik's fur had once again darkened and his eyes becoming more teal than grey. He also obtained a new jacket and his jeans had been turned to khakis.

===Personalites and Goals===
When Circles of Fate (Called Flash of the Shadows at the time), was under heavy development at the time. Rik's role as a character was consistently altered and changed.
In his first role, Rik shared the same goal as another character (Sky the Hedgehog) in the series which was to become the greatest warrior in Mobius and undergo extremely powerful foes in order to gain recognition all around Mobius and it's people. Rik was also originally undergoing a friendly rivalry with Sky which kept Rik realizing his dream. Rik kept a childish personality in this first concept.
His second role in the series was that Rik's main goal was to become of the celestial alignment. in this iteration, Rik's personality some what altered and he became much more tenacious and hyperactive.
His third versions and so on, He became more humble and calm rather from his previous versions.
