Name: Rik
Race: Panther Hanyou
Profession: Painter & Nomad
Powers/Abilities:
Rik, and his ancestors, have the special ability to create different elements and attacks with paint. Every color has it’s own special ability and with different combinations of colors, the right brush stroke and the correct spell, he has the ability to turn a painted red rose into a fire ball-o-death.
Well maybe not that drastic, but he can guarantee you won’t see it coming. ^^
[/li][li]Bright: Flat, short-length hairs, usually set in a long handle. Width and length of brush head is about equal. Useful for short, controlled strokes, and with thick or heavy color.
[/li][li]Fan: Flat, spread hairs. Natural hair is more suitable for soft blending, and synthetic works well for textural effects. Useful for smoothing and blending, special effects and textures.
[/li][li]Flat: Flat, square-ended, with medium to long hairs. Provides lots of color capacity and easy maneuverability. Use for bold, sweeping strokes, or on edge for fine lines. Use heavier filling for heavier paint.
[/li][li]Hake: A hake brush is an oriental-style wash brush on a long flat handle. It is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media.
[/li][li]Highliner: Also known as an outliner. Round, square-ended brush, with extra-long hairs and a short handle. Large color carrying capacity. Useful for delicate lettering, outlining, and long continuous strokes.
[/li][li]Mop: A mop is a round, full version of the wash brush, made of soft, absorbent natural hair. It is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media.
[/li][li]Stroke: Flat, square-ended medium to long length hairs. Short handles. Large color carrying capacity. Useful for painting block letters in a single stroke.
[/li][li]Oval Wash: Wash brushes come in varied shapes. The oval wash has rounded hairs, flat ferrules, and produces a soft edge, with no point. A wash brush is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media.
[/li][li]Quill[/u][/I]: Plastic or natural quill ferrule, with a permanent or detachable handle. Long hairs, and a natural-shaped tip. The writer has a round ferrule and a short handle. Useful for lettering and poster work. Good on smooth surfaces such as glass.
[/li][li]Round: Round ferrule, round or pointed tip. Useful for detail, wash, fills, and thin to thick lines. A pointed round is used for fine detail. A detailer is a pointed round with very short hair.
[/li][li]Sash[/u][/I]: The long handles and tapered bristles are perfect for detailed work on large paintings. Also good for delicate decorative painting.
[/li][li]Script/Liner: Pointed, narrow brush with very long hair. Liners are shorter and narrower. Short handles, round ferrules. Large color carrying capacity. Useful for delicate lettering, highlighting, outlining, and long continuous strokes.
[/li][li]Square Wash: Wash brushes come in varied shapes. The square wash can produce varying shapes and widths, and often has a short, "flat-footed" handle for scraping, burnishing, and separating watercolor paper from blocks. A wash brush is useful for laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media.
[/li][/ul]
[/li][li]Horizontal[/color][/I]: This stroke has any attacks moving either to the left or the right. It leaves one side first before leaving the other and attacks opponents to his sides.
[/li][li]Circular[/color][/I]: This stroke is used as ofense and defense. In defense it wraps around Rik, in which ever direction he wishes, and attacks opponents behind him, as well as in front of him, 360 degrees. In ofense it acts as a barrier around Rik, protecting him and his easel from attacks.
[/li][li]Diagonal[/color][/I]: These attacks go towards the sky and low into the ground. They also help to strengthen some attacks that need a little extra 'oamph' to work at the best capacity.
[/li][li]Half Stroke[/color][/I]: These strokes keep the paints from leaving the page, they are harmless and used when he is painting a scene he particularly likes.
[/li][li]One and A Half Stroke: These are the strokes that help his attacks leap off the page. With a full stroke he meets the edge of the page and with the extra half the paint jumps from the page and towards which ever direction Rik desires.[/li][/ul]
Unfortunately Rik needs just a little bit of help to change his paints into something more than bits of rocks and dust. So he uses a few words, quite simple yet very powerful when added in with the paints and brush strokes.

The Basic Colors
[/b]- Red: The international color for Fire and Love, but in Rik’s case it all depends on how he wishes to use the color, in what context you might say. Depending on his mood he may either use this color to create a love connection between two people, or to start a house fire to watch other’s squirm.
- Blue: The known color for Water and Life, using Blue by itself could mean destruction, whereas using it with other color’s could mean life.
- Yellow: The color for Electricity and Heat, this color is rarely used, especially by itself, because it’s one of the only that needs some nature backing. The only way for Rik to create electricity is to have a storm raging off the page. And he has yet to perfect creating storms.
The Combined Colors
[/b]- Orange: ((Colors: Red and Yellow)) This color is normally used for Fires, with a One and A Half brush stroke he can bring the two fused colors off the page and strengthen a previous attack created from either, Red or Yellow.
- Green: ((Colors: Blue and Yellow)) This is an earth element color and is normally used to create nature around him, but can also be used in attacks. With a previous blue attack adding this fused color he can create vines and leaves to wrap around his opponents.
- Purple: ((Colors: Blue and Red)) This color is rarely used, only because it has no real function, except to turn a fire attack into a water one or vice versa. It has no unique attack of it's own and besides making pretty flowers is normally forgotten.
- Pink: ((Colors: Red mixed with water)) Pink is the only color that when created has to be diluted. As such the power associated with this color is not as strong as the others, such as Orange or Green. Pink is normally used for carnations, or other flowers, and is also a symbol for Love. When used with a stronger color of Red, and with the proper brushstrokes, it can create an aura that causes people to fall in love with each other and make those already in love to remain that way.
- Brown: ((Colors: Blue, Yellow and Red)) Like Purple, Brown has no attack function of it's own. It's used to defend Rik, creating woodened walls or weapons for him to use. Of course any weapons created rarely last much longer than a few minutes in his hands.
- Black: ((Colors: Red mixed with Coal)) Black is used as a void, to fill the places where color does not fit. It's the opposite of White and normally is used for dark purposes. If Rik were to create a fire, adding in the black would keep it burning longer as well as dousing out water attack fairly quickly.
- White
(Colors: None; White is Purity and therefore has no colors within it)) It's also the absence of colors and used to counter-attack any of his own attacks. White means fresh and by using it any damage done by Rik's paints would be reversed and therefore fixed. As though nothing had happened in the first place.

Spells
[/b]Unfortunately Rik needs just a little bit of help to change his paints into something more than bits of rocks and dust. So he uses a few words, quite simple yet very powerful when added in with the paints and brush strokes.
- Hanatsu: Fire, used for fire attacks.
- Daichi: Earth, used for attacks dealing with earth.
- Kaze: Wind, used for wind attacks
- Ame: Water/Rain, only for those attacks involving water.
- Gensei: Life, used during earth based attacks when he wishes to create something to either attack or just to look pretty, versus just causing a quake of some sort.
- Aisuru Love, obviously this is more of a technique used to create a romantic air or a special connection between two things, not so much as an attack.
- Kurushimi: Pain, this is a word that can be added after - mostly - any of the other ones to create an extra boost to the attack.
- Yorokobiutau: Rejoice, this is used to create a peaceful air about every one.
- Anzuru: Fear, nightmarish images could pop up from Rik's paper, should he mutter this word while angry or when adding the word anger after or before it. However he hasn't mastered being able to create actually monster and get them off the page, so it's rarely muttered.
- Kietsu: Joy, to create happiness around him, or when dealing with children, it causes them to calm down.
- Chuppara Anger, only used when Rik is really ticked off at something. It adds a giant boost to any attack and can cause that attack to get out of hand.
- Eiki: Courage, used to add courage to others around him, to give those who are not used to fighting the mind set to fight.
- Isamashii: Brave, to make those who are cowardly, brave. And yes there is a difference between courage and brave, courage is used to help others in fights or to do something more. Bravery is added to help others explore darker areas and to gain more upon them personally.
