| PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS - Riley sports green hair cut short in the back and long in the front, with bangs that cover most of her forehead and tend to hang in her eyes. Said eyes are blue-green in color, looking either blue or green depending on the lighting. She often looks unkempt, due to not having the energy to keep up personal appearances.
- She stands at about 5'4, roughly the average height for a woman her age. The rest of her body, too, is pretty average. Average waist, average chest, average hips... though it can be hard to tell, since she doesn't wear form-fitting clothes too often. Overall she can be said to be pretty, if she'd bother to clean herself up a bit.
- Even in the summer, Riley covers up every inch of her body except for her face. She'll wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and gloves at all times, unless she is at home and can be certain she's not going to accidentally touch anything distressing. Said clothes are often hand-me-downs she got while thrift shopping, and she's not too concerned with fashion.
- Riley has a variety of scars scattered throughout her body. The vast majority of them are from her accident. The easiest to spot are the ones on her face, where new skin grew after being scraped and cut. The rest are concentrated on her arms, torso, and hands, but those tend to stay covered.
PERSONALITY - Paranoid: She's very slow to trust. Once you get to know her, she'll likely assume the worst about you. Around every corner she sees liars and betrayers. In this way, she's become a little bit like Myles. He never trusted her, either. Don't point this out to her, though, unless you really want to hurt her. At the very least, she tries not to act on any of her impulses. She'll rarely actually accuse someone of doing something awful behind her back.
- Sarcastic: She doesn't put up with any sort of bullshit. If she thinks you're being an idiot, she's going to be as flippant as she possibly can. This goes even for people she considers acquaintances, so it's best not to take her too seriously. It doesn't even level off once you earn her respect. In this way, she's very no-nonsense. The most common kind of smile she can be found with is the type with no humor in it at all.
- Callous: Riley has become a hard-hearted person out of what she feels is necessity. She refuses to let herself be hurt anymore, and as such, she goes out of her way to avoid caring about... most everything. If someone were to beg her for money for their dying child, she'd likely just roll her eyes and walk right on past without feeling a thing. This is somewhat ironic for an empath herself. She actually hates her abilities, because she honestly doesn't want to care about anyone. This is the reason why she covers herself up, even in the warmer seasons. She doesn't want to feel anything anymore.
- Crude: Generally speaking, Riley doesn't censor herself. She's got the mouth of a sailor, and if she has something to say, she's likely to say it as bluntly as possible. It's best to try not to run into one of her sharp edges, as she will come at you with every intention of beating you down verbally. She'll even swear around children. Though, she does still find toilet and bedroom humor somewhat funny, so she may get along with kids so long as they enjoy fart jokes.
- Still Healing: Every now and then, glimmers of Riley from her childhood will come through. She wasn't always such a morbid person. Once upon a time, she knew how to laugh and joke and have innocent fun. While that time has now passed, she will still sometimes get caught off-guard and show a glimmer of hope. What she needs is time to heal the various wounds she's been given over the past few years. With distance, she may get better.
Ambitions: Riley is not well-practiced at having dreams. She hopes to one day find an honest job that pays well enough for her to live comfortably and not have to partake in criminal activities ever again, but, well... she's not exactly the ideal employee right now.
HISTORY - (Note: Riley's history contains domestic abuse. Proceed with caution if that sort of thing is triggering to you in any way.)
- Riley was born to a single father struggling to make enough money to feed him and his child. She never knew her mother. Her father turned to the Black Market when she was young, too young to really understand what he was doing. As she aged, though, he became more and more open with her. She began to help him out on occasion, until she was officially allowed to join him when she turned sixteen. Having an extra hand on deck meant they could make a little extra money, and it was already illegal work, so nobody gave a damn about child labor laws. Riley was even allowed to keep her own Pokemon. The first was Jones, a Houndour given to her as a sort of bodyguard because her father was concerned for her safety. The second was Donna, a Murkrow she rescued from a cruel trainer. It wasn't long, though, before she realized her work would require her to turn a blind eye to such nasty things.
- In this way, she and her father survived. They even managed to get a better apartment in Tynntill Town. Unfortunately, though, their luck came to an end. When Riley was just barely 21, she and her father were in a horrible car accident. It claimed the life of her father, and she just barely survived.
- Up until then, Riley had had very weak empath abilities. The worst she got was an uncomfortable sensation upon touching somebody or something with her bare hands. Unfortunately, the shock of the accident blocked her from accessing those abilities, likely because she physically touched her dead father during the accident and the pain of it was too powerful for her to handle. She even has some false memories of dying, though the nurses insist her heart never stopped beating. This is likely a good thing, all in all, because the hospital bed she was in would likely have continually triggered her empathic abilities while she spent months recuperating in the hospital.
- Somebody she knew from her childhood, a young man named Myles, made the impulsive decision to visit her in the hospital. They slowly began to become friends, and then even more than that. He supported her throughout most of her stay, becoming an anchor to weigh her down and make her want to live again. After she was released, she moved in with him, not having anywhere else to go. She began to feel almost happy again, finding a job as a waitress at a nearby restaurant.
- Of course, this could not last either. Myles began to manipulate her. He took hold of her finances and lashed out at her when she so much as spoke to other guys. Any time she did something he didn't approve of, he snapped. The emotional abuse led to physical abuse, every now and then. The rage and sorrow built up in her for months as she tried to rationalize his behavior, thinking she could fix him. Part of her thought there was something wrong with her, and that if she could just improve herself, he'd love her again. This all came to a head when, one night, a drunken Myles approached her with a kitchen knife, accusing her of cheating on him because she'd left the apartment without telling him earlier that day. He stabbed the wall behind her, trying to scare her, and without thinking Riley wrenched the knife out of his hands. Her own emotions spiraled out of control, and finally, her empath abilities returned to her completely. The time they spent dormant seemed to have caused them to grow, and so when Riley touched the knife, she experienced all the same emotions Myles did. It was that moment that she finally realized what was happening between them, and it was her turn to threaten him with the knife as she fled their apartment.
- Riley had nowhere to go for a long time. She lived in a shelter, miserable, hardening her heart as much as she could. It wasn't long before she once again turned to the Black Market as a source of income. She made enough money from it to afford her own dinky, rundown apartment in Flash City, although what she truly wanted was to move as far away from Myles as she could. She's managed to hold onto her Pokemon all this time, but other than that, she's starting fresh.
OTHER INFORMATION Empath: Is capable of sensing strong emotions through physical contact via bare skin. This goes for people/Pokemon (skin-on-skin contact) or objects. If you're not feeling anything particularly strong she won't pick up on it. If the object was never touched by someone with very strong emotions, it's the same-- there's nothing for her to pick up. Sensations and impressions begin to fade after about three weeks time, and generally a year is the latest they last. The newer they are, the easier they are for her to pick up. In a similar manner, extremely strong emotions linger much longer than other, less powerful ones.
Soft spots: Loves all Pokemon, mostly because they're not human, but has a tendency to prefer Dark, Poison, and Ghost types.
Job details: Mostly deals in smuggled goods and occasionally in smuggled Pokemon. Doesn't ask for the specifics when doing her job, and thus many of the Pokemon she's sold may have been obtained by poachers. Rarely says no to a job, because she's desperate. She'd like to get out of the business if she can. Don't try and guilt trip her about some of the messed up things she's had to do-- she will bite your head off. Occasionally she'll go out and catch some Pokemon of her own to sell or trade, as an attempt at making a living honestly.
Talent: Actually has a pretty good singing voice after taking lessons in high school.
Misc: Still has the knife she took from her ex, tends to keep it on her person.
