Riku wiki page

bio under the cut!


Repliku, pulled from my big-ass KH fic FtPverse, sometime after the series ended.
Goes by "Riku" for reasons involving memory loss and parallel universe shenanigans. (Why pick a new name when you're the only one in this universe named Riku!!)
Replica. Party healer. Physically 16. Technically only 2.
He didn’t die.
Instead some mysterious stranger who never gave his name or stuck around long saved the Riku Replica from death, depositing him in an alternate universe where a “real” Riku never existed. He washed up on the shores of Destiny Islands with no memories save for the name “Riku”, which he has kept to this day, seeing no reason to change it.
In the new universe, he befriended a new Sora and Kairi, rescued a replica version of Namine that the Organization of this universe created, and after months of struggle that involved a Replica rebellion from the fifty or so Replicas of various Organization members that Vexen created before he died, defeated the Organization for good (with Sora’s help). And also, some things happened with Namine, that he’d… well, the less he has to think about it, the better! Thanks!
From there he’s been adopted by Aerith, and lives in Radiant Garden with her and the rest of her family, and has spent his time learning to heal from his trauma at the hands of the Organization and his journey, as well as carve out a space where he can live a normal life, finally believing he’s not only allowed but deserves to live one.
(Also, the Vexen who created him, from KH “canon”’s universe, hopped universes after him. Their relationship is… complicated.)
The team ends up somewhere that promptly drags up bad memories for all of them, but especially Kratos. Riku spends his time mostly offscreen, him and Dave working together (with the help of a future Dave) to catch up with Shadow and Kratos, who separated from them.⇢ Team M: Have a feelings jam about boundaries
Kratos brings up his own boundaries regarding being touched, which gives Riku the courage to mention his own. Told from Riku's POV. Features him and Kratos bonding.⇢ like super mario backflipping up a flight of stairs
Mythra explains to her team what they're doing here. Dave hates it. Riku's... neutral, but wishes someone had asked him first.⇢ my heart is housed in ironworks (chapter 2)
Kratos needs to decompress after getting separated from the team and going through Some Bullshit. Riku offers help in the ways he can (mostly by giving Kratos a way to communicate and then some fucking space), and then takes a swim in the ocean because it's been. TOO long.⇢ Shadow: retrieve your power limiters
Shadow's power limiters break. Riku panics, just a little. Also, having been split from their team, Riku and Shadow meet up with a portion of Team A, which includes Namine! Riku's very happy to see her, even if he's not completely sure about her companions. (And very sad he missed Sora.)⇢ nova
Colette approaches Riku about the fact he reminds her of someone. He theorizes about the multiverse.
