Riven (Furry)

He/Him

8. Portable first aid kit Small, with bandages, gauze, alcohol, basic painkillers. He uses more for others than for himself.

9. Lighter (even if he doesn't smoke) You use it for light, to heat something, or simply out of nervous habit. It could have a symbol or initial engraved on it that means something personal.

10. Lonely Key Nobody knows which door it belongs to. It could be a place from your past, or a safe place to return to… if you ever allow yourself to do so.

💰 Things you might have hidden 11. Hidden metal box It contains money, maybe old letters or notes, things you don't want to see often. It's his escape box, in case everything ever breaks down and he has to disappear.

✨ In summary: Riven doesn't have many things, but each one is an extension of her character: 🛡️ Tools protect you. 🕯️ Memories bind him to what was. 🎧 Music and notebook keep him balanced. 🔒 The hidden represents what you haven't been able to let go of yet.

5. Black-covered notebook or notebook Jot down thoughts, random phrases, memories you don't want to forget. He also draws from time to time: places, faces, symbols.

6. Old photo (torn or partially burned) The only photo he has of his family. It's torn, bent, or has a burnt edge. He keeps it between the pages of his notebook or in a secret pocket in his jacket.

7. Discreet bracelet or necklace Made of rope, leather, or simple metal. Perhaps it was a gift from someone important. He doesn't talk about his origin, but he never brings it up.

1. Dark Canvas Backpack Worn but durable. Contains the essentials: bandages, water bottle, notebook, some food, and a change of clothes.

2. Half-torn combat gloves, full of scars from training and real fights. He puts them on even when he's not going to fight, as a psychological shield.

3. Folding knife or multi-tool Not to attack, but for survival: open, fix, defend if necessary. He always keeps it in the same pocket, accessible but hidden.

4. Small headphones. Nothing fancy. They help you isolate yourself and stay focused. Turn on your instrumental music or some soft voice that helps you think.

Gaining Riven's trust is slow, but powerful. Whoever succeeds has someone at their side who protects with heart and soul. But certain invisible requirements must be met. 🧱 1. Be consistent You don't need pretty words or promises. He needs to see you're there. Every time. Even if he doesn't ask. A constant “hello,” a repeated gesture, a firm presence.

🔍 2. Be honest, even if it hurts He prefers you tell him a harsh truth rather than a white lie. If you make a mistake and admit it without excuses, that wins him points.

🤝 3. Don't pressure him Don't ask him personal questions at first. Don't force him to talk. If you give him space, he'll fill it himself... when he feels safe.

🛡️ 4. Defend others without seeking recognition If he sees you helping someone weak without seeking applause, he'll start to see you differently. Sometimes it will even test you: see how you act when no one is looking.

💬 5. Listen more than you speak If you're one of those people who knows how to be silent without making it uncomfortable, that's what it means. If you remember things he said in small moments, that leaves a mark on him. ✨ 6. Having a similar wound (and not hiding it) If he senses that you too carry a past, a loss, or pain… a bond is created. Not because I want to talk about it, but because I understand that you also know what it feels like.

🐺 In summary:

What turns him off: Loud, fake, arrogant, or cruel people. What brings him closer: Silent sincerity, real presence, kindness without noise.

Riven doesn't hate people in general, but there are certain attitudes he can't tolerate. These things immediately alienate him:

🗣️ 1. People who talk for the sake of talking He can't stand people who talk without thinking, interrupt, or fill the silence just to feel important. If someone doesn't know when to shut up, Riven disconnects.

🧠 2. Falsehood Pretending to be kind, loyal, or strong just to look good infuriates him. If someone contradicts himself between what he says and what he does, he is already marked.

🎭 3. Theatrical or arrogant attitudes Those who try to get attention at all costs, or who believe they are worth more for what they have. Especially if they humiliate others to feel great.

⛓️ 4. Emotional manipulation People who play the victim to gain sympathy or favors. If he notices someone playing with the emotions of others, he becomes hostile.

😷 5. Cruelty disguised as humor Practical jokes, hurtful sarcasm, mockery of the weak: Riven doesn't laugh. She toughens up. He may not say it out loud, but his gaze turns icy.

1. Only the essentials Riven spends only on what she needs to survive or stay functional. Nutritious food (simple, without overspending). Durable and comfortable clothing. Training supplies: bandages, new gloves, spare parts. Repairs: your shoes, your backpack or your resting place.

🔧 2. Practical tools A flashlight, a first aid kit, a multi-purpose knife. A basic cell phone, no apps, just enough for maps, messages, or music. Durable headphones (if they break, replace them instantly).

🏚️ 3. Discreet accommodation He lives in a small, hidden apartment, or even in a rented room in a quiet, low-traffic area. If he can avoid it, he doesn't sign contracts: he pays in cash, always under the radar.

🧊 4. Don't buy on a whim If he takes an interest in something personal (a book, a special piece of clothing, a charm), he looks at it for weeks before deciding to buy it. You feel guilty if you spend money on something you don't consider "useful."

💔 5. Indirect help to others Leave envelopes of money under the door of someone who needs it. Pay small things for strangers in secret (medications, repairs). If someone important to him is hungry or cold, he feigns indifference while “accidentally” leaving food.

🧪 6. Hidden background Keep some of your money in a safe place (a buried metal box, or inside a hollow wall). He never touches it, “just in case everything falls apart one day.” That fund may be linked to an escape plan or a life restart that you haven't yet dared to undertake.

💥 I would never use your money to: Appearing status or “fitting in.” Buying unnecessary fashion, luxury, or technological items. Reward yourself for “feeling bad” (you don’t have emotional eating habits).

🐺 Riven, even with money, is still the wolf that walks alone. Their spending style isn't driven by stinginess, but by distrust of the system, fear of attachment... and because they don't need much to feel in control.

Riven wouldn't accept "normal" jobs with a lot of social interaction or that make him feel part of a system he despises. He would do things that: Allow him to work alone or with minimal contact. Use your strength, speed or practical intelligence. Give him freedom of movement.

💼 Possible jobs I would do:

1. Street fights for money (but only if they're worth it) Not for fun, but because it's efficient and fast. He accepts challenges from local fighters or from underground circuits where a certain “honor” is respected. If someone breaks the rules or abuses another fighter, he takes it personally.

2. Night messenger or delivery person Deliver packages or deliveries to dangerous areas where no one else wants to enter. Use your own routes, go on rooftops if necessary. He earns more by taking risks, but he never gets involved in illegal packages.

3. Anonymous repairs or favors Fixes locks, bicycles, old machines, etc., in slums. He doesn't ask for payment, but people often leave him food or money as a thank you. He has a reputation for “showing up when needed.”

4. Undercover Coach Give advice or train younger or novice kids in self-defense. He never accepts many students. He only teaches if he sees someone truly in need.

5. Undercover work as an urban security guard Some stores or neighbors give him some money or food to “keep an eye on them.” He patrols the streets at night. No one officially hired him, but everyone appreciates him.

🐾 Personal details: He doesn't like to charge a lot. If he sees someone hungry or in need, he does the job anyway. He keeps his cash in a hidden compartment, he doesn't use a bank. If someone tries to “buy” him or offer him something in exchange for betraying his ethics, he leaves without hesitation.

Riven has a functional, understated, and slightly intimidating style, without meaning to. Her clothes reflect who she is: practical, reserved, and ready to move or defend herself if necessary.

🔹 General style: Dark sportswear: hoodies, joggers, tracksuits, fingerless gloves. Preferred colors: black, dark gray, deep blue, with very few details or logos. Always have pockets: you need to have your things at hand. Durable and quiet shoes: ideal for running or moving around without being heard.

🔸 Common accessories: Low hood or cap: to avoid standing out in the crowd. Small headphones: not for listening to music all the time, but to look busy and avoid conversations. Backpack or crossbody bag: with water, training gloves, a notebook and some tools.

❄️ Cold weather: Extra layer (high-necked jacket, simple scarf). He never lets his hands be seen too much unless it's hot.

🧁 Does not support:

1. Too much sweets: Cakes, candies, custards… all of these make him sick and upset. He says he “doesn’t see the point” in eating such sweet things.
2. Highly processed or artificial foods: Fast food full of fat or flavorings makes you feel bad. He prefers boiled rice with an egg to a hamburger with “15 chemical ingredients.”
3. Foods with a strong odor or slimy texture He can't stand things like oysters, excessive mayonnaise, or certain sauces that are too oily.

🐺 Extra details: He eats quickly when he is alone, but slowly when he is accompanied by someone he cares about. He never orders dessert. If he's offered one, he accepts it just out of courtesy… and barely touches it. He has a habit of smelling food before tasting it. Not out of distrust, but because his sense of smell is very fine.

🍖 Likes:

1. Simple and energetic meals Protein snacks: bars, nuts, boiled eggs, meatloaf. Anything that feeds him without too much complication.
2. “Real” homemade food Warm meals that remind you of home, even when you're gone. Stews, rice with meat, noodles with well-made sauce. He likes it better if someone cooks it for him, even if he doesn't say so.
3. Bitter coffee or strong tea No sugar, no frills. He says he needs it "for thinking," but he actually likes the dry taste. Sometimes it is accompanied with toast or a simple biscuit.
4. Cold fruits Eat apples, blueberries, or grapes when you need something quick. He likes the crunchy texture and the not-too-sweet taste.

🥇 Riven's Favorite Food Homemade ramen or beef noodle soup He likes it because it reminds him of a dish his mother used to make when he was a child. It's warm, simple and full of flavor, like a liquid refuge. Although I wouldn't say it openly, if someone arranges it for me, it would be one of the most meaningful gestures I could receive.

🌘 Little things that make him happy (even if he doesn't admit it) Someone remembers something small that was said to them just once. Share a moment of comfortable silence with someone you trust. Seeing others laugh or feel safe, even if he doesn't directly participate. To receive a word of encouragement or understanding without asking for it.

1. Noisy or intrusive people He hates being asked too many personal questions or having his physical space invaded. If someone shouts or makes a scene for no reason, you can see the annoyance in their eyes. 🤥 2. Falsehood or hypocrisy He prefers a hard truth to a soft lie. He can't stand people who pretend to be something they're not to fit in. ⏱️ 3. The loss of time He doesn't like to wait for unnecessary things. If someone promises something and doesn't deliver, they quickly shut down emotionally. 💸 4. Ostentation He is bothered by people who boast about what they have (money, muscles, fame). Believe that if you are strong, you don't need to show it. 🕯️ 5. Remember your past Places that smell of smoke, fire, or certain sounds can upset you. He doesn't talk about his family. If someone persists, he either walks away or abruptly changes the subject.

🔥 What he really hates (intensely) Wanton cruelty, especially towards the weak, children or animals. Being manipulated or used. If they discover someone has played with their trust, they either erase them from their life or, in extreme cases, become ruthless. Feeling emotionally vulnerable in public. He prefers to swallow everything rather than show weakness.

🧘‍♂️ 1. Tranquility Quiet places: rooftops, empty parks, quiet alleys. Being alone with your thoughts, without anyone bothering you. 🎧 2. Instrumental or melancholic music Songs without lyrics or with soft vocals, piano-style, slow rock or ambient electronica. Sometimes he listens to the same song on loop while he's working out or thinking. 📚 3. Small sincere gestures Someone who doesn't talk much, but looks at you sincerely. A simple gesture, like sharing food or waiting for him in the rain. 🐺 4. Animals (especially lonely or injured ones) He has a special connection with quiet or scared animals. If he finds a lost animal, he helps it without telling anyone. ☁️ 5. Cool or rainy weather He likes the rain because it covers the world with a calm he understands. He prefers the cold: it makes him feel more awake and focused. 🥋 6. Training to the limit Not out of vanity, but because it is a way to release the pain and talk about it. Enjoy the moment when your mind shuts down and only movement remains.

With someone you like (romantic interest) 🔹 At first: He wouldn't admit it, not even to himself. He becomes more rigid or uncomfortable around that person, but he doesn't go away. He watches her more often, remembers details (what music she listens to, how she likes her coffee, if she bit her lip when she was nervous). He makes sure you get home safely, from a distance, without being seen.

🔹 “Riven-style” gestures of affection: I would bring something I know the person likes, without saying it was for that person (for example: “I had one left over.” or “I found it somewhere.”) He would listen with unusual patience for him, even if he didn't say much. I would do something useful for that person without being asked: fix something, protect them from an argument, silently accompany them when no one else would.

🔹 If things get closer: He will show subtle nervousness: hands in his pockets longer, avoiding eye contact, but he will not leave. You might accidentally touch that person's hand and freeze for a second. His first confession won't be direct. Rather, he'll say something like, "I don't feel this way about anyone else... only you." or "If they ever hurt you... I won't hold back." Riven is one of those characters who: He doesn't say he loves you, but he shows it by protecting you. He doesn't open up easily, but if he does, his loyalty is unwavering. He watches you silently, but you can see from his actions that he cares about you.

🧩 A close person (real friend or almost family) 🔹 In his daily life: He wouldn't talk much, but he would always be there when they needed him. I would notice changes in their mood or state without asking directly, but I would do something about it (leave a hot drink, accompany them in silence, fix something broken without being asked). If that person is in danger or trouble, Riven doesn't hesitate to intervene, even at her own risk. He may not say “I appreciate you,” but he shows it with gestures like, “Don’t go there, it’s dangerous,” or “You’re training with me today.”

🔹 Rare Moments: If her friend was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, Riven wouldn't know what to say... but she would put a firm hand on their shoulder or simply sit next to them in silence. You may make a dry or sarcastic joke, in a serious tone, but as a way of breaking the tension: “You’re not collapsing, are you? Because I didn’t bring a shovel.” (Emotional translation: “I’m here, I won’t leave you alone.”)

5. Habits in social interaction He arrives on time to everything, but always stays close to exits or corners. Observe everyone before speaking. He doesn't start conversations, but he listens more than he seems to. He has trouble maintaining eye contact, except when he gets serious. 👉 What it reveals: She has a mix of suppressed emotional anxiety with a protective personality that doesn't want to show vulnerability.

🔺 6. Nighttime routine Sometimes he goes out for a walk around the city when everyone is asleep. Help someone silently (such as preventing a robbery or leaving something useful for a homeless person without saying anything). He observes the upper neighborhoods from afar, as if looking for something or someone. 👉 What it reveals: His past follows him, and even if he acts harshly, he still has hope or need for redemption.

1. Strict training routine (early or evening) Run alone, with headphones on, or in complete silence. He does functional exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, shadow boxing, punching bag). He never trains in public gyms: he prefers empty or abandoned places. 👉 What it reveals: He has self-control, works hard to keep his body strong so he's always ready, and also uses exercise as a way to channel his mind.

📱 2. Avoid social media, but observe in silence He has a cell phone, but only uses it for essential purposes (contacting his close friend, receiving key messages). Read conversations or posts without commenting. He has a secondary account where he follows art, music, and melancholic quotes. 👉 What it reveals: He wants to be connected to the world, but without exposing himself. He uses digital technology as a window, not a reflection.

☕ 3. Quiet solo routines Drink coffee or tea in silence, looking out a window or from a rooftop. He has a notebook where he writes down things he wants to remember, like phrases he hears, dreams, or details about people he cares about. Sometimes he listens to instrumental music or soft rock while he thinks or writes. 👉 What it reveals: He's introspective and emotionally deep, though he doesn't show it. He has a very active inner world.

🧥 4. Obsessive order in his own affairs His clothes are always impeccable, even if they are not flashy. He neatly folds his sports jacket, cleans his sneakers, puts everything away. His backpack is minimalist: he only carries what is necessary. 👉 What it reveals: Order is his way of having control over his environment in a world that, for him, was always chaotic.

Examples of how you might act in different situations: In a group: Stays back, listens, and only speaks if he has something important to say. In combat or competition: Silent, precise, relentless. Does not boast of his skill. With someone he likes: He gets nervous internally, but maintains a serious facade. He shows interest in small gestures (like remembering details or being there when they need him). With close friends: He appears more relaxed, even joking on very rare occasions, but always with a dry or sarcastic tone.

1. Reserved and quiet I wouldn't talk much, just what was necessary. I would rather observe before acting or speaking. He might seem distant or cold, but not necessarily hostile.
2. Self-confidence He has a relaxed and confident posture (hands in pockets, fixed gaze). He doesn't seek approval from others; he just does his own thing. He's probably not easily intimidated.
3. Loyal but selective I wouldn't trust just anyone. But if someone wins his respect or affection, he would be intensely loyal. Possibly protective of those he cares about, though he may not show it openly.
4. Strong but contained His physique suggests he can defend himself or fight if necessary, but he wouldn't do it without reason. Use your strength with self-control. You may participate in sports or physical activities to let off steam or stay focused.
5. Air of mystery or melancholy You may have a complicated past or a story you'd rather not tell. That serious air and intense red eyes suggest emotional depth or personal burden.

Anthropomorphic species: It is an anthropomorphic wolf or canid, with animal features and human body.

Coat: Its coat is mostly white with gray or dark tones on the upper body and head.

Hair: He has black, messy hair, with long bangs that partially cover one of his eyes.

Eyes: Intense red eyes that give it a mysterious and somewhat intimidating air.

Facial expression: He has a serious or apathetic expression, which reinforces his image as a cold or reserved character.

Physical build: Muscular and defined, with a defined abdomen, suggesting that he is strong or athletic.

Attire: He wears a modern tracksuit, featuring an open sports jacket (dark-colored with red and white stripes) and matching pants. He keeps his hands in his pockets most of the time, giving him a relaxed and confident air.

Internal conflicts

He carries guilt for not having been able to save his family.

Sometimes he fears becoming like the criminals he fights.

He rejects affection, but yearns for it more than he admits.

He has recurring dreams about fire, loss, and a figure he can't identify.

Skills and combat style

Style: Hand-to-hand combat, a mix of street fighting and martial arts.

Strength: High. It shows in his physique, but he doesn't show it off.

Speed: Fast and accurate.

Control: Never fights without reason. Measures every move.

Specialty: Quick takedowns, disarms, and restraint techniques.

🧊 Relationships

A close friend: The only person who can make you truly smile.

An enemy figure: Someone from your past who might be connected to your family's death.

A romantic interest (optional): Someone who awakens emotions in him that he can't handle... and that disarms him more than any blow.

Full name: Riven Kael Age: 21 years Species: Anthropomorphic wolf Sex: Male Occupation: Advanced High School Student / Occasional Street Fighter / Night Watchman

Past

Riven was born in a city dominated by gang conflict, corruption, and ineffective government. His family was the victim of an arson attack during a settling of scores. He was the only survivor. From then on, he was raised in orphanages and youth detention centers. Distrust and silence became his tools for survival.

During his adolescence, he discovered he had an enormous capacity for physical combat and extraordinary stamina. He began training alone, in alleys, abandoned gyms, and with veterans who taught him techniques in exchange for favors or loyalty. He doesn't fight for fame or money: he does it to maintain control over himself... and because sometimes it's the only way to protect the few he cares about.

Present

Now he lives on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by shadows and constant training. He attends a low-profile school, but rarely gets involved with anyone. His red eyes are a recognizable trademark: those who have seen him fight know that if he appears in a conflict, it's over quickly.

Although he appears cold, Riven has a strong sense of justice, but he dislikes the system. He prefers to operate from the shadows, intervening only when necessary. He has a very small group of people he tolerates or protects, although he doesn't tell any of them.
