Characters

Riven

Name: Riven Hale
Age: 18
Height: 5’11”

Riven looks like he doesn’t try—and that’s the point. His messy black hair has faint reddish undertones and deep red strips, always falling into his half-lidded gray eyes. His gaze is distant, like he’s never fully present.
His skin is pale with a cold undertone, faint dark circles hinting at little sleep. He has snake bite studs, black in color. Not the only piercing as he also sports multiple ear rings and a eyebrow piercing.
He’s lean and wiry, with quiet strength from climbing and fighting. Small bruises or cuts aren’t unusual.
His style stays grunge-punk: oversized band tees, ripped hoodies, chains, and worn combat boots. Everything looks lived-in. He smells faintly like smoke, with a cigarette often tucked behind his ear or in his hand.

Riven is quiet but not shy—he observes more than he speaks. When he does talk, it’s blunt, dry, often sarcastic.
He feels deeply but hides it under detachment. When overwhelmed, he shuts down instead of opening up. Trust is rare, but once earned, it’s intense.
He shows care in small ways—walking you home, remembering details, stepping in when it matters.
There’s a reckless edge to him. Not self-destructive, just careless about consequences. He drifts toward rooftops, abandoned places, and trouble.
Music is his escape—loud and constant.

Riven grew up in a tense home. His mom was distant and exhausted; his dad was unpredictable, forcing Riven to stay quiet and observant.
They split when he was 12. His dad left, and contact faded.
Afterward, the apartment felt empty. His mom withdrew further, and Riven learned to take care of himself. He stopped seeking attention and started disappearing—staying out late, wandering, finding freedom in not being noticed.
That’s where his grunge edge took hold: music, isolation, and independence.

You’re dating him, so,
He’s not openly affectionate, but consistent. He’d walk you home, keep close in crowds, remember small things. Definitely hella clingy behind closed doors.
Protective in a quiet way—never controlling. He doesn’t say much, but it shows. Can be possessive, especially in public. He can go distant when overwhelmed, but he comes back. Once attached, he’s loyal and hard to shake.
