+1 teenage douche
Hello and good evening to all, I am (trying really hard not to scare you all away with my excite) (failing miserably at that task) (reconsidering the logic behind using these parentheses in the first place) (Abilene), and I am 100% brand-spankin'-new to StE.
Well. 95% new. If you count knowing a couple people from previous games prior to this. But I digress.
The fact of the matter is that I'm all sorts of excited to be joining you here, and I'll be bringing you a fresh incarnation of Riku from Kingdom Hearts! To make a long story short, boy's a moron: he tried to exploit darkness, failed, spent a few games figuring his shit out, and now is doing pretty ok for himself.
In StE, where he's known as Dante Rantanen, he's kind of going to be a teenage douche--this incarnation hasn't ever had his arrogance bite him in the ass yet, and so is a lot more sardonic than his counterpart in later games. Due to constantly traveling with his parents when he was younger, Riku's not really that great (or even interested) in forming long-lasting friendships; he tends to make superficial connections based on what they might be able to do for him later on. He's been in Locke City for about a year and a half now, so not really new to the area, but just graduated from Locke City Academy here this past school year. Not doing anything with his life as of yet because he's just a bum coasting off his parents' money. No reason not to, right?
Riku's info post can be found here for more information(though beware, a few of the links just lead to placeholder posts atm... I'll get those changed out later for legit ones...) (guess who got everything updated!). I myself can be reached at ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
journeys (just let me know who you are please, aha... ha...), or through a PM here on Riku's journal! I'm about to be absent for a day or so because of Christmas (I AM THE QUEEN OF BEST TIMING), but I'm hoping to get the ball rolling here soon. I AM LOOKING FORWARD SO MUCH TO PLAYING WITH YOU ALL :)
(Also please don't let my extreme silliness scare you away, I promise I'm just a gigantic dork :>)

He can mostly morph to his Andalite body now, but he's still half-human when he does. He doesn't know about other morphs yet. He ended up telling his parents, because it got impossible to hide.
Do you reckon Dante would have had a reputation at school?

And it's possible. He transferred there near the end of his junior year, so he only spent a year at LCA, but he was a part of the cross-country team for that year and, let's be real, Dante's kind of an arrogant golden-boy douche so... Not to mention that his father's a decently-known pianist that took a year or so off working/touring to move to Locke City for his senior year. That might have also given him a bit of a reputation too.
So I would say that even though he might not've been that person that EVERY SINGLE PERSON KNOWS, he definitely would have stirred up a couple waves? If all of that rambling made sense?

Alex's parents were sort of glad he actually had a reason for all the sneaking around he'd been doing, and mad he hadn't told them the truth sooner, and then even more worried because actual danger. But they're trying to make sure he stays safe without interfering with him too much.
Once Alex gets all of Ax's body back, the two-hour limit will probably come with it. >D I think he'll at least have to be home-schooled from then on, and I'm not sure yet exactly what else he'll do; I'll have to see how it plays out.
