No situation is so dire he can't at least drop a one liner about it. In some ways, its rather endearing, as he can be counted on to act the same in any situation. On the other hand, its frustrating, as he will act the same in ANY circumstance. Riku is quite the flirt, and claims his goal in life is to see a beautiful girl, to overcome his cursed eyes enough to actually see someone pretty. The problem is that requires hard work about his pay grade, so he'll settle for bitching about it. It doesn't stop him from flirting with the parts. He is acute to the voice and perfumes of women. His expertise on perfumes is almost scary at times. He likes to play games with his kage about guessing her perfume. Riku often has little respect for those around him of higher station, as his mannerisms don't change for them. His view is power is earned, others can judge him by results, and he almost never fails to get something. If anything, if harried about respect, Riku will give a false bravado of obviously fake sincerity, and will hold this facade for as long as he knows the person. Riku is brilliant but lazy. He often tries to use his blindness to get out of work when he can, and makes jabs and puns at it constantly. Despite this, if somethings worth putting effort into, he might as well finish it. Like the time he thought he could do a better job as kage, he spent months planning out the assassination attempt.[/i] 【[u]History[/u]】 [i]Born to the cursed Orochi clan, Riku was born blind. It was hardly an issue, as by that point, the clan was well adjusted to their disability. He quickly learned to find his way around by clicking his tongue, and eventually was adjusted enough to play with other kids without issue. He became a ninja even, though reading took him a while longer than most, he mostly recalled the lessons to pass his tests. When he was a genin, he took up the bow and arrow, mostly to laugh at those who made fun of his blindness. He found it pretty funny and ironic, and surprisingly, became good fairly quickly. Still, he was about average in combat ability, only really excelling at his unusual senses, and his battle tactics which came second hand to him, as he had to have everything lined in his head anyways. Riku's day changed before the chunnin exams. On a mission he tried to save a beautiful woman from several bandits. In order to buy time, he unsealed his eyes, trying to buy time. It did indeed paralyze them for 2 whole seconds... all the time he could buy. In that time, he saw that beautiful woman as she escaped. It was like nothing he'd ever seen, literally. Riku swore he would become strong enough to see sights like that everyday from the hospital, and began to work on seals to figure out his dojutsu more. To see if he could make a more specific seal. He also became a huge flirt, hormones kicking in. Riku found his love for woman. From there, things progressed naturally for him. He easily made chunnin, and his seals became the best in the village, though he never did find a way to strength the seal on his eyes. One thing, however, did bother him. He didn't like the reputation of the Rankage. So many assassination attempts was surely the sign of a bad leader. And what's more, they were performed badly. Riku wanted a shot. So he took one. The attack on the office drew away her guards as they tried too hard to protect her, and were overly sensitive to his shots. In the end he fired himself sealed in an arrow into the office, waiting for them to leave, which they did to secure the area. It was then Riku appeared, attacking the kage herself. He got his ass handed to him, and was left near dead. Before she could strike the final blow, he looked up with a simple question. "Is it too late to switch sides?" From that day forth, he worked for her, mostly as a pet at first, but eventually becoming a trusted (if occasionally irritating) adviser. He was spared mostly because of the manner of his attack showed enough intelligence to fool literally ever jonin working for her when he was so young.

The sheer power is enough to pierce most physical barriers. It can penetrate a brick wall at full draw. This draw takes several seconds, so normally Riku will fire quick bursts at quarter draw. It's power is comparable to a normal bow at this speed, and he can fire them blindingly fast like this.

[b]Name of Weapon or Item:[/b] Flashbomb seals [b]Description:[/b] Riku keeps a scroll full of flash bombs next to his quiver. For some reason the bright lights don't bother him much [img]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/img] 【Kekkei Genkai】 [b]Name of Kekkei Genkai:[/b] Noroigan (cursed eyes) [b]Clan:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Eyes that paralyze at a glance.... except they've been sealed. They take so much chakra that Riku could use them for potentially 3 seconds before dying of chakra loss. So mostly he's blind. 【[u]Canon Jutsu[/u]】 http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Enclosing_Technique - Arrow smells like ink. ^ Riku can seal people with this, but is easy to break out of.
