Reiki The Riolu

After having his morning tea, Reiki will do stretches and do some training. Sometimes its meditation, other times its visual training.

Coffee/Tea:

when Reiki was a little kid before going to the guild Reiki and his father would have coffee and tea together respectively along with pancakes or french toast. As a part of his routine every morning he will always make Tea in the morning as a tribute to his father

Chocolate:

one day during one of Reiki's adventures, he spotted a chocolate shop in a town. Ever since he eats it on special occasions

#### ***Dislikes:***

Evil Organizations:

On his travels, Reiki has found many different evil organizations from charities that were actually fraudulent to ones that took over different towns. He despises them and reminds him of his past

Negative Social Interactions:

this can include verbal fighting with friends, not understanding some social cues or making one or many mons uncomfortable by sharing to much. This will change as time goes on

Large Crowds:

Large crowds of pokemon have never really been his thing, but when he has to he will go in the crowd

#### ***Morality:***

Reiki has always been a caring pokemon. It soon turned into heroic as he continued to do good deeds and help others without reward and did things he believed was the right thing to do.

#### ***Personality:***

When first meeting him, Rei can be shy, closed off and distant. Once you get to know him for awhile he will open up. He can be 'affectionate' such ass hugging or cuddling and sometimes teasing as well as adventurous. He does strive to become stronger through training and to be a guild master one day. When he was younger if things didn't go his way or if the situation got to a point where he would mentally break, or if he becomes emotionally distraught he would go selectively mute which became a defense mechanism that he developed from past encounters with mean pokemon

#### ***Desires:***

Reiki's one true desire is to run his own guild one day. The first thing is attempting to become the Successor to Maria, though he will have to work hard in order for this to happen

#### ***Voice:***

Reiki's voice and deep and sort of charming.

#### ***Physical Info:***

Reiki is 2 feet 9 inches. He is a bit taller then a normal Riolu, He tends to wear a cape and hat with a badge and a Honchkrow feather with matching boots. He tends to wear this outside. When he is at home, he takes these off.

#### ***Strengths:***

Reiki has a sense of justice because of his past. He tends to stick to the hero model for his and other peoples sake and to keep them safe sometimes to his own detriment. With all these coupled together, his sense of danger is on point and is able to tell when situations are about to go south.

#### ***Weaknesses:***

Reiki's weaknesses are mostly social because of his past. While they aren't as visable as they were a year ago, he still has these things and acknowledges and tries to fix them the best he can. At times he can talk about himself a bit to much, not letting others talk in a majority of situations, inadvertently pushing people away after a fight in turn isolating himself and at times being more forgiving then he should.

#### ***Occupation:***

Adventurer and rescuer. Guild Master in training

#### ***Area of Residence:***

Reiki currently is looking for a house (will be updated accordingly

#### ***Items and Clothing:***

Reiki wears a cape and hat simmilar to Aaron from that one pokemon movie in public and a small pendant necklace that increases aura based abilities and attacks by 25%

#### ***Talents:***

Reiki is a survivor and spent plenty of his time alone with nature being the only thing keeping him alive. He also has an affinity for machines and technology in general and sometimes enjoys tinkering with some whenever he finds any.

#### ***Unique Abilities: Adaptive Damage Output***

The more damage user takes, the more damage user will give to a certain extent. It caps out at 2.5X the damage but with training it can go up to 3X. Needless to say, certain moves will become devastating towards a target. It allows him to get out of hard spots, provided the enemy is within his capabilities.

#### Moves (more will be added in the near future):

Quick Attack

Forsight

Forcepalm

Counter

Before Birth:

Torne Isle

Reiki's parents lived on an island that was isolated. One that had at most 100,000 miles in diameter across to feed many different mons and lived with one another. This island was called the Isle of Torne. At first, the island was peaceful and worshiped the legendaries and mythicals that they would call gods. The territories were also split into 12 peices which were called type tribes and one central guild called Hidden in the Waves. There would be a few times where fighting would occur, but nothing to devastating to the flourishing isle...until a sly Meowth started what is now known as the 12 type war by manipulating some of the mons into coming onto his side.

12 Type war

The 12 type war got it's name for...well lots of reasons. The main one is the war was between the 12 types. Tribes fought over territory and killed each other until there were only 6 types remaining. The Legendary and Mythical pokemon that were above saw this as a reduced population. Although, two pokemon from above saw this as senseless killing but couldn't say anything to object to it. One day, a Gliscor killed another member of a rival guild, breaking the treaty.

Ascension

The Ascension happened once the 6 type war started. All of the Mythicals and Legendaries leaving the island. The nature of the island, food and even water started to dry up and deteriorate until there was nothing left. There were only two pokemon left that didn't oppose or fight for either side, a Lucario named Saigo and a Umbreon named Tsuki.

The last remaining

Tsuki already had a eevee egg when she and Saigo met. With the Guild destroyed from the inside by espionage and even the betrayal of their guild master, the rest of the Wave Guides left. They made love one day and had an egg. A Celebi and Mew were the only two remaining from the ascension. The Celebi attempted to fix the timeline...but it only made things worse.

Erasure

no one really knows what happened after the four remaining pokemon left. When the Celebi attempted to travel back to that dimension with Palkia, it was nothing but darkness

Delivery

Once the Mew and Celebi escaped, they both traveled to a new time. One that wasn't destroyed by war. They didn't know that the effects of this would make history repeat itself. Though...as a tribute to the Guardians of the Waves and his father...he was called Reiki. The Mew placed him on the doorstep of a Guild Master and a medic in a middle class home.

Childhood:

Reiki was born into a middle-class family in a relatively peaceful town who's primary exports were technological advancements thanks to a certain family and their cutting edge research into aura based objects and machines. Unfortunately for Reiki, and everyone in that peaceful town at the time, two nations on either side of them were gearing up for war over resources and opportunity for expansion, the town's researchers and talents putting a huge target on their heads. No matter what, both sides would be coming in to capture it and everyone knew.

Prior to the war arriving, Reiki was in the town's local Junior Rescue Guild, a service teaching kids everything they needed to know to easily transition into a proper guild the moment they became of age, teaching them the skills they'd need. In this sort of school, Reiki immediately didn't fit in, being rather shy as he couldn't quite bring himself to converse with others, though at least having a strong moral compass thanks to his father who served in a local guild, saving strangers and helping others in dangerous positions was always something Reiki found fascinating, always doing his best to do what his father did, easily climbing the ranks in the junior guild, though not quite able to ever be as open as he needed to be, that only part holding him back.

Fast forward to when he's 8 years old, the town finally received news that conflict was brewing between it's two neighboring nations, tensions rising between them and fear rising in the locals. While this was happening, most of the kids were still too young to understand what war really meant, all seeing it as some fighting happening in some far-off land. For them, life remained mostly the same. As everyone grew, friends became a bit deeper, the concept of love eventually becoming a thing for the youth Reiki grew up alongside with, though for him, it wasn't quite what everyone expected. Guys and girls got together naturally, forming teams with each other and graduating to join proper guilds together, all was set. For Reiki though, he wasn't normal, but he was more into guys around him, still never able to speak to them though out of fear of what they would think about him, that he'd be kicked out of the school for expressing his feelings. With that, he'd remain alone even in these hard times, his peers looking down on him like he was the runt of the pack, because he was in a way, despite his excellent performance.

The time was soon when the armies would arrive in town, propaganda for either side dropped from above by flying types, occasional scuffles in the skies above as drops from both sides took place at times. To Reiki though, something was definitely off, asking his parents about what was happening, both of them hesitantly explaining the concept of war in as nice a way as they could. A conflict between two groups and that they were caught in the middle of it all. Reiki understanding that things would probably get bad soon, though never experiencing something like what was about to happen, not knowing how bad things would really be. As for the other children though, they were living their lives oblivious to the threat, happy to have each other, not knowing what was to come. As for the Junior Guild program, evacuation plans were already underway.

Fast forward to the night of the attack, Reiki was kept up in an assembly area with his class, scared as he looked around, his classmates confused at what was happening, eventually suppressing their worries by making fun of the 'lonely Reiki'. Reiki though, had much more things to worry about, the constant name calling and bullying only making him feel worse. Even worse, none of the administration seemed to care, all getting ready as they started to move out, heading out into the street in unison as they headed south, making sure to stay in the centermost part of the town to keep away from the sides where advancing forces would be.

As soon as they stepped outside though, they could immediately see something was wrong, an orange haze in the distance to the East and the West, clouds rising up too… Smoke… Lit by the fires below. As for the streets, it was a ghost town. With this, everyone would fall silent, following the group leaders as they led the group to safety, hoping to exit the town unnoticed while other guild members stayed to defend, Reiki’s parents included. For Reiki though, things would only continually get worse, one of his classmates leading him away from the main group through various streets he’s never been to, suddenly teleporting away when he was lost, no doubt returning to the main group. A Kirlia he thought he could trust leaving him lost and alone, nobody batting an eye from the looks of it, the flames growing closer and closer as he had to find his way out alone.

With all this happening, he had no other option but to make his way south alone, using the stars above to figure out what direction to go, using what he learned in his class as he still had learned everything they had to teach, his willingness to learn now starting to pay off as he made his walk swift, though not without pain, tears streaming from his eyes as he ran, swerving through turns and seeing buildings being looted while he ran, eventually coming up on a wider road to see true horror.

The group he was with, buildings around nearly totally demolished, flames high above as everyone in the group he was ditched by was unconscious… Even worse… Using his natural aura sight abilities… None had an aura either… Not a single one, all happening in the span of thirty minutes, a majority of the city on fire now, even the south despite no forces set to enter through here.

Despite not being treated well by anyone here, he still mourned, his mourning being cutoff by a brilliant blue light in the middle of the town on one of its more affluent looking high-rises, a wave of energy reverberating through the town as a beam of light shot up to the sky, followed by a strong, deafening and bright explosion on the same floor of that same structure… The lab that was once the pride of the town, it’s gem… Collapsing as an entire few floors were surrounded by a massive fireball, the top half of the building collapsing in on itself unlike the burning buildings around it, the cloud of rubble descending the seemingly intact floors until it all hit the ground. The Tower was gone, the town’s work and all its knowledge taken with it, the cloud of ash and soot drawing closer as the force of the collapse sent it outward, taking neighboring low-level buildings out with it.

With the horrifying sight and sound of a landmark going down, he had no choice but to keep running, no time to mourn, no time to look for anything, the thought of anyone who was near that thing when it came down coming to mind as he noted that the fires were just near that block when it happened… Anyone in the guild was either defending or evacuating citizens… His parents were defending, the fires marking where the fighting was most intense… Just under the objective of both nations, that was the Aura Research tower… His parents, likely taken with it as he could no longer feel the deep connection to their auras, his fear only escalating as he blindly ran past everything, crying until there were no more tears to cry, reaching the border of the city as he kept running… And running… And running… He was alone as he’d always been… Not even parents to guide or take care for him now. Just him and everything he learned.

Teenage years:

Fast forward 6 years, Reiki seems to have picked up where he left off all that time ago, heading to nearby towns in search of work and people to help, typically getting jobs from their job boards, taking up things guilds would typically do if they offered payment, finding enjoyment in aiding mons in need of help, eventually taking on dungeons, aiming to help the mons in most need first out of inspiration from what his father once did before everything happened, figuring his line of work was morally just and right, a 'hero' if you will. While he did all this, his shyness and past events prevented him from ever joining a proper guild.

With the hero mentality now in his mind, he continued this type of work for the next few years, never taking the time to talk to other Pokemon given the struggles of his past and general distrust, thinking that any interaction would only end the same, closing himself off as this slowly degraded his already weak social abilities, not that he'd needed them at the time. As his adventures continued, he'd eventually receive his Aaron costume as a reward from a clothing designer he'd helped in a poisonous forest, rewarding him with a costume of his choice as nobody else was willing to help her for free as he did out of the goodness of his heart, only fueling his hero mentality even more. With a costume he'd cherish from there on out, he continued his freelance work.

As more years passed, he'd eventually move on from his homeland in search of new adventures.
