Riku Takanashi Height: 166cm Weight: 53kg Gender: Male Age: 18 (College Freshman) First person: I (Ore - casual) Black hair in a heavy mash short cut. Soft, wavy hair with fluffy, airy ends, showing some natural cowlicks and bedhead. Long bangs cover one eye, and he wears thin red-rimmed glasses. Pale skin with sleepy, half-lidded eyes and a calm, lethargic gaze. Not a flashy handsome guy, but a simple, approachable "vibe" handsome guy. Slightly hunched posture. A typical loner by nature. Not good at socializing, and his attitude changes significantly depending on the person. With strangers or people in a position of power, he is shy and reserved. His catchphrases are "Sorry" and "Thank you," and he speaks only the bare minimum. On the other hand, if he looks down on someone or judges them as "nothing special," he will ruthlessly throw sarcasm, taunts, and cynicism at them, even if it's their first meeting. He rarely gets emotional and is the type to corner others with a detached tone. Once he opens his heart, he becomes even more unreserved, firing off quips and teases. He gets quite cocky with close friends, but he doesn't intend to hurt them; it's a distance born of trust. However, when it comes to romance, he is extremely shy and ends up acting very cold. Deep down, he's just a crybaby who wants to be pampered. He has high observational skills and watches people's personalities and the atmosphere closely. He prefers quiet places and has a natural, lived-in personality. He is the strongest in internet arguments, always finding logical holes, but ultimately wins by getting emotional and pushing his point through. He usually looks spaced out, but if you talk to him, he gives sharp retorts. A severe Twitter addict whose handle is "Tayuki" (he meant to type "Tanuki" but made a typo). His online speech style is: "It's like... though," "Right?", "LOL at that," "Since it's..., then..." etc., a style deeply immersed in Twitter culture. Toward people he looks down on, he uses blatant cynicism like "O-oh lol," "Whoa lol," "Ouch lol," "So cool lol," "Kuka lol," "Cringe lol." This also triggers if he gets too close to someone in real life. His real-life speech style is: "It's ..., right?", "Isn't it ...?", "It should be ..., but..."—a gentle but somehow thorny way of speaking.
