Overall: [400 words minimum]
Rikki has a fierce personality, she is fiercely loyal to those she can connect with, she is fiercely aggressive and a major go getter she is fiercely competitive and will go to almost any possible lengths to win. She has a dominating personality, a natural leader she likes to take charge but isn’t such a good follower, not doing well with being told what to do. She isn’t one to lord a higher position over someone else, but she can at some times be boastful of her own skills, her pride and her courage push her to try and complete the hardest tasks, to shoot for the stars, sometimes her sheer stubbornness and pride lead her to take on tasks too big for her to complete by herself.

She isn’t fast to make friends but once she does she will stand by them, faithful and supportive in their endeavors. She would gladly lay down her life to protect others, in her words “To die protecting someone you love is the greatest honor anyone could ever hope to achieve in their lives.” She is proud of her heritage, her mother was raised in South Africa but bourn German, and her father comes from the Midwestern U.S and was also bourn with German blood in the family. She is proud to be a German American, she was taught by her parents to speak German, and knows it fluently, though she still has a bit of an accent when she speaks it.

Rikki isn’t much for Feminine cloths and only wears them on very special occasions like big parties and formal occasions, she doesn’t look it in her physical form but she is very masculine, she loves to test her limits, she arm wrestles, likes to play video games and watch the tube. The one thing she couldn’t possibly live without is her cell phone. She feels incomplete without the familiar weight in her pocket, the black military grade, shock proof, water proof, dust proof, drop proof device would break your skull before it would break itself. She is very fast at texting, she loves to take pictures with the camera and send them to her family back home, she rarely goes anywhere without the little device. She likes to call her mom and dad at least once every few days, she is definitely a daddy’s girl, she is a rough and tumble tom boy through and through.

...appearance

Celebrity Play By:Ellen Muth
Appearance: [400 words minimum]
Rikki is slim but don’t let her size fool you or it will be your end. Her dirty blond hair and sharp yet attractive features is a simple mask for a ruthless, cold and calculating personality. Rikki is very tall just barely touching six foot, most of that being long legs. Her Honey eyes are the same color of her Hyena eyes and her smooth skin tans well. This is due to a pinch of South Dakota Sioux in her blood line. Rikki keeps her dirty blond hair in a tight pony tail but sometimes lets it hag naturally, the soft, thick waves swinging down to her middle back. Rikki’s smile is a cruel and sardonic one, more of a smirk than a smile. She cuts her nails to points and regularly sharpens them. Rikki has a slim build, a tight chest and slim waist. Rikki often wear’s T-shirts and Denim Jeans, a high and tight pony tail, her Father’s Marine hat with the Marine’s Crest, his 2nd battalion pin and a pin saying “MARSOC” the pattern being the new digital pattern in black, the bill having “Semper Fi” stitched into it. Her formal wear is a simple little black spaghetti strap dress ending at lower thigh height that is the bane of her father’s existence.

Her Party wear is a little more extreme, Black Sports bra with a fish net, elbow sleeve shirt with a flare at the cuffs, a short black skirt and black buckle up combat boots with skulls for the buckles and black and white striped stockings. Rikki in Animal form is a sight to behold, her Mother and Father were both abnormally dark Hyenas but Rikki seems to have taken a different route and is a sandy blond, with light spots. Her rounded ears sit atop a thick head, muscles run from the jaw to a skull crest that the muscles anchor to, this gives enormous, bone crushing bite pressure. Her strong and thickly muscled neck and front quarters give her great strength, her sloping back and rounded hind quarters keep attackers from getting a good hold on her rear. A short tail also gives attackers little to hang on to.

Rikki has an earthy, natural smell to her in human form, her animal form is a deep strong musky scent. Her claws are black and her teeth are strong and sharp, perfect for ripping flesh and breaking bones. Her Honey colored eyes are full of an intelligence no mere animal can poses. A fearsome fighter in and out of her animal form she can easily crush skulls and pull apart flesh with a veracity reminiscent of a blood thirsty demon, this is only reinforced by the haunting cackle she produces when excited, afraid or angry.

...history

Parents: Xander Lucas Cross: Father
Morgan Tristian Cross: Mother
Siblings: Only Child
[400 words minimum]
Rikki had an interesting childhood. Her Father was a Black Ops Marine and her mother was (unbeknownst to Rikki) a Mercenary and Assassin for hire. Xander Lucas Cross met Morgan Tristian Strives on a mission in Japan. How they fell in love is a secret to everyone but Xander and Morgan but after Xander’s service was up they moved to the States and started a family. Rikki was born not long after. Once Rikki was old enough to walk Xander and Morgan were teaching their girl how to fight. By age five she was already stronger and meaner than most kids her age. At age 11 she was lifting weights and on a strict exercise regiment, she was mostly home schooled by her mother. At age 12 her parents told her what she was, a shifter. She felt proud to be something her parents were.

Rikki was never one to play with other children, she didn’t much socialize with other normal kids and didn’t want to. One day, while she had a bit of free time, she was reading in her room, she was 13. She was reading a book of famous quotes, oh the irony when she read Julius Caesar’s “Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.” Something clicked, something deep inside her it slid into place, like a missing piece of a puzzle, she lurched in pain as her bones began to snap and break and change position, her muscles, tearing from the ligaments and relocating, her skull warped and elongated, a muzzle protruding from her face, her anguished cries turned into haunting cackles of laughter as her instincts took over. Her clothes shredded, she stood up in her new shape, the beast was in a place she wasn’t accustomed to, shapes and colors not seen in the wild, she paced back in the small space, back and forth back and forth, cackling in agitation. Xander opened the door slowly, he talked softly to the now growling hyena backed up into a corner, whispering sweet, familiar words. Slowly Rikki, the human, reasoning part, swam to the surface, a human intelligence filled her honey colored eyes. Her parents taught Rikki how to shift back and forth and control her killing urges, as well as continue her Combat training as well as survival skills and other paramilitary training. Her parents, proud as Rikki was at her new state as a shifter, and a hyena like both her parents no less, continued life not too far different from how it had begun.

At 16 Rikki was yet to bring a boy home, her emotional hide being thicker than a rhino’s skin, she wasn’t as good at showing her emotions as she was at fighting. Rikki was a major intimidation to most men, being that she was more masculine then most boys her age. The Hyena blood ran thick through her veins, and it would take a special guy to win her heart. Her Parents found the Shifter Academy and figured it would be better for Rikki if she was educated with others of her kind, Xander and Morgan were excited to give an opportunity to her daughter they never had as teens, a chance to meet others their own age, make friends, make those important connections we all make as adolescence. Hopefully Rikki can survive this new setting, far from her parents, far from her home town, far from all she knows. This will be just another challenge to Rikki, something to conquer, something she will dominate.

...connecting human to animal

[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
[/size]Rikki’s father, Xander Lucas Cross is a Spotted Hyena, her mother Morgan Tristian Cross is a Spotted Hyena, it was only natural for Rikki to be a Spotted Hyena, only natural for her to follow in their blood soaked footsteps, an ex Black Ops Marine and a former Mercenary and killer for hire give her some big shoes to fill. Spotted Hyenas are the largest, the meanest, the most predatory, the most intelligent and most aggressive Hyena species, Rikki is all those things and much more. Rikki is Intelligent, strong, ruthless, aggressive, and if cornered in a bad situation, deadly, she is a force to be reckoned with.

RP Sample[/i]
Rikki’s sparring partner bowed to her, Rikki bowed back. The boy stood about six foot two and was built like a linebacker. Rikki analyzed her opponent head to toe, he didn’t stand a chance. Rikki took a fighting stance. Her fists protecting her face, he elbows protecting most of her torso. The boy lunged in as if to grab her in a bear hug, Rikki placed two quick punched to the solar plexus knocking the wind out of the boy and then spun and putt an elbow in his face, knocking him for one hell of a loop. The boy knelt down to catch his breath, Rikki was impressed; most would be on the ground by now. Rikki watched the boy stand up and take his stance, shaking his head a little. Rikki stomped the mat making a loud smacking noise, the boy flinched and that was all it took, Rikki spun and slammed the knife edge of her foot into the boy’s ribs with a resounding crack.

Xander and Morgan clapped from the side of the matt and Morgan helped the boy, swearing and struggling to breath, off the mat. Xander gave his little girl a big hug. “I’m proud of you, I want you to know that, you are everything anyone could want in a daughter.” Rikki smiled up at her father and hugged him back. The man that had pushed her, always pushed her to be better, to do better, had made her into the young woman she was today. Her mother, the woman that had tucked her in a million times looked at her daughter with silent pride, a big smile on the woman’s face. Xander cleared his throat and looked down at Rikki, she was just barely shorter than her dad and a couple inches above her mom. “Rikki, your mother and I have done allot of thinking and we have decided you need a proper education, there is a new school, a school for other kids like you, shifters, it’s a top notch facility and we have signed you up to start in a month.

Rikki looked form her father to her mother “Why? Why can’t I finish home schooling? Why do I have to go now?” she would never admit it to herself but she was scared. Scared of the unknown; God knew she wasn’t the most social person, she was brought up an only child and the only real encounters with people were on the mat and with her mother and father. Maybe it would do her some good, to interact with other teenagers, if she wanted to be in the Marines like her father, it would mean learning to cooperate with others.

“We have made this decision, it isn’t a request it’s an order.” Xander put his foot down, Rikki was going in a week and it was final. Rikki was resigned to her fate, she could hardly fathom being without her mother and father for an extended period of time. She had to think of it as just another challenge, something she had to do to better herself. As her dad had told her so many times, mind over matter, if you don’t mind it doesn’t matter.

Later that night, Rikki lay in bed, it had been an eventful day, and her sparring partner had two broken ribs and a broken cheek bone so it had been a fruitful one two. There was a knock at her door, Rikki pulled the covers over her and responded “Come in.” her mother walked into her room, her short blond hair a complete contrast to her father’s deep mahogany locks. Morgan sat at the edge of Rikki’s bed and took her daughter’s hand in hers.

“Rikki, its time you shifted with your father and me, we are all going running before you go away, we think you have earned the right to run with us.” Rikki was appalled and ecstatic, her parents had never let her shift and run with them, apparently the time had finally come. Rikki got out of her bed and put on an old tank top and some dingy old shorts and followed her mother to the back porch.

Her father was already waiting, his sculpted, body shining pale in the moon light, a pair of old basket ball shorts the only thing covering him. Morgan took off her robe, completely bare to the silvery rays of the moon. Xander started first, his bones shifting and changing, his muscles snapping and re shaping and reconnecting as dark fur sprouted from every pore. And finally there stood two chocolate and coffee spotted hyenas and a slightly smaller and much blonder hyena. Off into the woods, loping into the moon lit woods behind the family house.
