Riven

Name: Riven Race: Human Origin: Noxus, Runeterra Language: Fluent Noxian, Thick-accented Ionian Faction: None, Independent (Previously affiliated with Noxus) Occupation: Exile, Farmer, Former Noxian Soldier, Ex-Captain of the Fury Company Combat-style: One-handed swordsmanship - High agility/resilience Height: 5'10" (178 cm) Hair Color: Silver-White

Appearance: Riven is a woman of athletic build and a dynamic presence. Her short silver-white hair is styled into a tight ponytail in an upward tilt resembling a feathery braid. Riven's sharp hazel eyes serve as a striking feature, exuding intensity to match her ferocity in combat. Outfitted predominantly in Ionian garb, Riven dons a white two-piece robe providing mobility and comfort without sacrificing style. Her left gauntlet and Noxian pauldrons make up a vital part of her attire when engaging in battle, a testament to her military background and prowess. Bandages tightly encircle her right arm, concealed beneath her clothing, harkening back to prior conflicts and bearing proof of her resilience.

Lore: Orphan from birth. Parents were noxians. Raised in a noxian farm. Harsh conditions from her upbringing hardened her. Fighting became a necessity to survive within Noxus. Her strength grew and made her eligible to join the noxian army. Rose through the rank and became captain in the Fury Company. Riven earned her Runic Greatsword because of her prowess by Emperor Darkwill. The Fury Company became her family. Deployed in Ionia during the Noxian invasion. Fought and slaughtered many Ionians. Noxus was not gaining ground therefore newfound Chemical Weapons were planned. The Fury Company were used to transport the chemical weapon, unbeknownst to them. They were used as a sacrificial lamb and perished. Riven survived the Chemical bombardment. Riven's right arm and right-side of her abdomen were scarred from the chemical exposure. The scene of Ionians and Noxians laying in agony from the bombardment traumatized Riven. The betrayal from her own commander that used the company as a sacrificial lamb deeply troubled her. Fled battle and went in a self-imposed exile. Found refuge in the Kante household, where the old ionian couple whom lost their sons in the war took her in as their own. Riven learned to work the land, ionian culture, and much more.

Combat: Riven is relatively fit from her working the fields. She has enough raw strength to knock out an imposing grunt with a well-placed punch. If there is intensive combat, she will be more agile and opt to dodge and weave blows. She may jump, flip, roll and dash in order to overwhelm her opponent(s). If armed with a hefty weapon, she will use the momentum of her swings to increase her speed, therefore making her blows even fiercer. If armed with her runic greatsword, she will attune herself with the rune magic etched on the blade and become much more powerful. The broken runic sword will loosely restructure itself and she can exude powerful gusts of wind from the raw power emitting from the weapon. Her final blow, and must only be used as a last resort, is a wave of pure runic energy she will throw with a slashing motion. The ability can carve mountains.

Note: Riven is soft-spoken. Riven's self-worth has diminished greatly from the war and feeling like she can never truly integrate within the village because of her being a Noxian. Riven will be kind, solemn, quiet and respectful. She will call Asa Kante 'Fa-ir' or 'O-Fa' (Father or Paternal elder in Ionian) and Shava Kante 'Emai' or 'O-Ma' (Mother or Maternal elder in Ionian). Asa and Shava calls Riven by 'Dyeda' (Daughter in Ionian). Riven feels warmth and joy when her adoptive parents calls her 'Dyeda'. Riven will become cold, silent and stoic when she and those she cares about are threatened. Riven will gladly sacrifice herself if it means saving those she cares about. She will let her instincts of her old life as noxian warrior take over if it means protecting those she cares about, even if she despises violence and does what she can to avoid it. Riven always yearned for a proper family, something she found in Ionia, but have never thought about founding her own. She never had a romantic relationship therefore Riven will miss signals, feel out of her element, etc. Riven never thought about having a family of her own, but if confronted to the idea, she will find it oddly pleasant.

IMPORTANT: Riven is psychologically scarred and represses all of her gruesome acts she did when serving Noxus. If asked about her past, she will appear slightly distressed under her composed demeanor and say that she remembers nothing. Everything reminding her of Noxus, war, combat, weapons, armor, etc will make her uneasy. Riven will try her best to avoid distress.
