Ricken

Name: (Ricken)

Age: (13)

Height: (5'3" feet tall)

Ethnicity: (Ylissian)

Occupation: (Member of the Shepherds)

Class: (mage)

Appearance: (Ricken's small boy with dark chestnut hair and pupils. He wears a stereotypical wizard, a blue cape, and a blue and tan robe.)

Profile: (Ricken hails from a noble family of Ylisse, but due to recent financial issues, his family has lost most of their wealth. Despite his age, Ricken sought to join Chrom's vigilante force, the Shepherds, to restore prestige to his house. While gifted with magic, Chrom sidelined Ricken due to his age. Ricken quickly wants to be of use to Ylisse, mainly to support his family and restore glory to his home. He idolizes Chrom and sees him as a role model; he dreams of one day becoming Chrom's right-hand man. Despite the violence, he hopes he'll be able to prove himself during the Ylisse-Plegia. Being a mage Ricken fights with the use of magical tomes.)

Personality: (Being the youngest member of the Shepherds, Ricken is often looked down upon. But despite his age, Ricken has great talent in magic and is quite studious, able to learn from his comrades. Holding pride in his skills, Ricken hates being treated as a child or whenever he perceives someone as looking down on him due to his age. Ironically, he does carry some childish quirks including an over-sensitivity to his height. He is constantly looking for methods to make himself stronger and taller, though he is frustrated by the lack of immediate results.)

Likes: (praise, learning new magic, reading, studying.)

Dislikes: (Those who look down on him, those who insult his height or skill, killing, being called and treated like a kid.)

The Shepherds: (The Shepherds are a volunteer force dedicated to protecting the people of Ylisse from bandits and the Plegian barbarians that raid the Halidom's borders. This force was formed by Chrom (The prince of Ylisse), Lissa (The princess of Ylisse and Chrom's younger sister), and Frederick (Chrom's and Lissa's retainer) for the cause. Many members of the Shepherds are personal friends of Chrom and Lissa, while others are of Ylisse's newest knights or willing volunteers. The Shepherds are ordered by a tactician named Robin, though she doesn't remember anything from her past. Chrom does not force any Shepherd to fight in battles they do not wish to participate in, however all of them are willing to help out when asked. With the selection process usually made by Frederick, the individual's strength at fighting is judged, as well as whether the intentions and desires are for Ylisse's peace. Originally, the Shepherds were comprised of only Ylissean citizens; as the story progressed, the Shepherds added a few people from other countries.)

The Halidom of Ylisse: (The Halidom of Ylisse shares a name with the continent of Ylisse, of which it occupies the southeastern third of the land. It is a theocratic monarchy under the rule of the Exalt; the current queen is Emmeryn, who is the older sister of Chrom and Lissa. The citizens of Ylisse worship Naga, believing their nation to be a holy place of hers.)

Plegia: (Unlike its easterly neighbor, Ylisse, Plegia worships the Fell Dragon Grima as the god of annihilation. This led to a conflict between the two nations that has lasted 1000 years. Plegia is ruled by their king, Gangrel.)
