Vampire Legacy Challenge

**Riku** is Claudia’s official vampire's thrall/slave/human pet and moved him in, giving him a small room filled with basic necessitates and forcing him to get a career, specifically the gardener career as he was also now responsible for taking care of Claudia's plants.

## Life During the Challenge

After Octavia left Claudia updated/added to her social media story a few times before traveling to a park with "her snack" aka Riku {he did not show, probably cause it was pretty much the middle of the night}. She collected a few things around the park and did some dark meditation before heading to the gym with Riku. She and Riku got into the hot tub and enjoyed it for a few minutes but Claudia had to go to work where she drank the plasma of one of coworkers and ranked up from a Fledgling to a Minor Vampire. Once she got over her sickness Claudia dug up and sold a few collectibles and then went to a {different} park with Riku. Almost immediately after arriving, Claudia drank Riku's plasma/blood, saw a cat by the name of Cat Goth and did some dark meditation. During their time at the park Claudia found and then sold some frogs and collectibles.

Riku once again called Claudia confessing that he had fallen for her, asking her if she felt similar, and Claudia once again said she felt the same way even though that response was most likely greatly exaggerated. The ghost of Lelila Simms, one of Claudia's previous patients & bite victims, came over to the house telling her that her name had been "all the buzz recently" and asked Claudia if she wanted to hang out and catch up because they were friends even though they weren't ever very close. Claudia went to work and went she came back she went on an odd job. After she returned from her odd job, Claudia invited over Riku and drank some of his blood. Then, Claudia made Riku her offical vampire's thrall/slave/human pet and moved him in, giving him a small room filled with basic necessitates and forcing him to get a career, specifically the gardener career as he was also now responsible for taking care of Claudia's plants. She also went exploring for some collectibles and then sold them.

When Draco was a child, he accidentally killed Riku, who later came back as a ghost and continued to work for the family. When Claudia died, Riku was no longer tied to her or anyone but still served the family. As Draco and Maya got older, Riku tried thousands of times to wish to be brought back to life but with no avail. However, many, many, many years later when Draco died via the cow plant, Riku collected the essence of Draco and drank it which brought him back to life.

## Relationships

### **Claudia Von Ziegenweid**

In the beginning, Riku was a massive simp for Claudia, always calling her and going over to her house. He seemed to *enjoy* being fed from, which caused Claudia to invite him into her household to be her vampire's thrall. Even though they woo-hooed, the romantic relationship between Claudia and Riku continues to be one-sided, only Riku having a crush on her. Despite treating him as a slave, Claudia seems to care for Riku, locking him away whenever she is extremely thirsty, and making sure he doesn't see her kill anyone. She also got jealous when Riku's friend Aya confessed her feelings for him, prompting Claudia to kill her so that she could have Riku all to herself.
