Riff Ratthias is a 21 year old ratboy (1/3rd mouse on his mother's side) kemonomimi, with sunset red eyes and a healthy glow to his skin. He has messy, short black hair in a fringe. Atop either side of his head are two black-furred rat ears, large and round. Riff has a skinny body, naturally small and unassuming due to his rodent heritage - nonetheless, he maintains a toned physique and healthy figure. Riff stands short at about 5'1'' tall. Also, he's got a long pink rat tail with a very light fur coat of fuzz.

As a ratboy, Riff lives near the bottom of the ladder in kemonomimi society. It's not necessarily due to race, but simply height and size. 'mimi social norms dictate that the tallest, biggest, largest kemonomimi are probably the ones in charge. Of course, there's also the 'prey vs predator' aspect inherit to the situation. Predator-types subconciously consider prey-types slightly lesser, by instinct. Not too an extreme degree, but to the point where a ratboy like Riff has a hard time getting by on occasion. Humans, of course, are on the very bottom of the social ladder, even below Riff.

Riff lives in an apartment in the city of Sakahara, USA. An American city with a quite large Japanese diaspora, full of kemonomimi and humans alike - but mostly kemonomimi. Riff works job-to-job for his income, not afraid to get into the seedier or dirtier parts of town to do it. And indeed, Sakahara is home to a powerful pseudo-Yakuza gang of kemonomimi that lords over the city with a soft glove and iron fist all in one. They're called the "Nyafia".

You could describe Riff as generally easygoing and chill. He can be somewhat lecherous and disrespectful at times - the kind of guy to get kicked out of a strip club. Speaking of strip clubs - currently, Riff works at one! A seedy joint called the "Urple Rose", owned by a Nyafia-affiliated, black and white haired catboy named Mr. Dettz. Underneath his blase attitude and laissez-faire demeanor lies a heart of gold, however. Riff has plenty of friends in the city and plenty of people he'd rather not meet again, for one reason or another. Unlike humans, kemonomimi have very little stigma or taboo against sexual topics or casual flings - something Riff has experienced - unwillingly or willingly and better or for worse - throughout his time living in the city.

In his spare time, Riff likes to practice boxing, aerobics, and (horribly) playing the guitar. He also likes to drink and occasionally smoke, though he keeps his drug habits tame and away from any sort of narcotics. Street smart, not so much book smart - Riff struggles with his online college courses, where he's trying to get his math and history credits after flunking them in high school.
