Age (rp years): 31.

Age (how long has this char been rp’d): Since 3/10/02.

Height: 6'2.

Weight: 170 lbs.

Creature/class: Furyan.

Abilities (natural or innate such as strength speed etc): Riddick has silver eyes, that enable him to see perfectly in the dark. Light, like light from the sun, and bright lights of tavern lamps, when lit too brightly, can hurt his eyes. Hence the black goggles.

Abilities (special such as discs or magic’s etc.): Can call shadows to him, to hide himself, and to erase any tracks or any sign that he's been in an area. Can go unheard as well, but that takes more concentration. Goes invisible, which means that objects (Magic objects, or magic, and anything and everything else that could be used to harm Riddick) and people pass through him, leaving Riddick unharmed.

Weapons: A knife with one edge, under whose surface shown colors like the Aurora Borealis, and can slice through most matter save diamonds and other ultra-hard minerals, and another edge, dancing with cloud-like colors under the surface (the duller-looking side) which can cut windows through the fabric separating a countless number of worlds. {See, The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman, to see what the blade is based on.} Once your mind gets the feel of that world, you can find it again easily. Riddick is the true bearer of this knife, and the knife has patiently waited to be reunited with it's master, and was recently reunited with Riddick.

Equipment/armor: Black goggles.

Skills: Very good with his blade. Was born a fighter, as Furyan people were a violent race.

History: The Furyan race was killed by the Necromongers, a race that was taking over the planets, claiming to be the "Ultimate" race. Riddick grew up quickly, and after murdering a couple people, was sent to jail. After being sent there, he decided to make the best of it.

His story is that he found a doctor in the Slammer who could do pretty useful things, for a price. Riddick paid the doctor 20 menthol Kools, to do a surgical shine job on his eyes. Which meant that after the procedure was done, Riddick could see perfectly in the dark. He killed again to escape The Slam, and was persued by a bounty hunter named John's. Who chased Riddick quite a distance, before managing to capture him.

Johns, out for the price on Riddick's head, took Riddick onto a spaceship carrying some 40 people, mostly ones wanting to settle on other planets from their own. It hits a meteor shower and crash lands on a distant planet killing all but about a dozen of them. The survivors, led by the second-in-command Carolyn Fry, find themselves on a hot and humid landscape with constant sunlight from three orbiting suns. Fry not only must help the survivors find food and water, but contend with a deadly criminal, named Riddick , who was being transported to a prison cell on their destination. But every 22 years, the planet's three suns go into a total eclipse for a month where darkness brings out the planet's real inhabitants; large, reptilian, vampire-like creatures that come out and dominate the surface in total darkness, killing and eating all life. The Fry and her people then must cooperate with Riddick, who has surgically enhanced eyes to see in darkness, to lead them to safety and off the planet before they all become dinner for the creatures. Riddick, Abu 'Imam' al-Walid (a devout Muslim who was headed for New Mecca), and a preteen girl named Jack, where the only ones to survive and escape the planet. {See "Pitch Black" the Movie}

An evil race of warriors known as The Necromongers, led by Lord Marshal is sweeping across the galaxy destroying entire planets on there way to there "Promiseland" called Underverse. There only weakness is a race of people called Furions which they wiped out, long ago. Riddick, is the last surviving Furion in the race.

Five years after the escape from the planet where they crashed, Riddick is on a snowy planet, running across the snowy surface as a Merc named Toombs is in pursuit in his ship. The Merc flies after Riddick into a cave where Riddick proceeds to kill the crew of the ship saving Toombs for last. Riddick finds out that the bounty for his head is 1.5 million dollars. And was made by someone on the planet Helion Prime. Riddick throws Toombs off of the ship and flies off to Helion Prime.

The bounty was made on Helion Prime, by Abu 'Imam' al-Walid. Imam has a beautiful wife now and a young daughter. Imam explains to Riddick that he had Jack (the gender confused girl, who idolized Riddick and survived the previous crash with them) in his care and then she ran away looking for Riddick and she killed some people and is now residing in a prison on the planet Crematoria. Then a ghost like person Aereon shows up at Imam's house and explains to Riddick what the Necromongers can do and that they need his help.

Just then Helion Prime guards are trying to break down Imam's doors because he has an escaped Convict in there. They break through and find Riddick in a dark room with just candles lit. He then says "I hope your not afraid of the dark" and then burns out the candles with his hands and kills all the guards thanks to his night vision eyes.

The Necromonger ships land on Helion Prime. The Necromongers storm out of there ships killing everything in sight. They find Imam and his family and Imam leads the guards away from his family and they kill him.

In what looks like the town hall, The Necromongers have gathered all of the remaining people in a town hall. In there we meet the four main Necromongers, Lord Marshal, The Purifier, Vaako, and Vaako's wife Dame Vaako. The Purifier explains to all the people that if they don't convert to the Necromonger way they will all be killed. Lord Marshal then tells all those who want to join the Necromonger way to bow down. One townsman speaks out and says they will not bow down to him. Marshal approaches the man and becomes a ghost like form and takes out the mans soul. The man falls dead to the floor. Everyone bows down. Except for Riddick. Vaako approaches Riddick and tells him to bow or die. Riddick points out a huge muscular soldier with two axes. He says he'd like to take him on. The soldier approaches Riddick and swings his axes at him. All Necromongers for some reason have a knife sticking out there backs. Well Riddick grabs this soldiers knife and stabs him with it. Lord Marshal claims that was his best man. Lord Marshal has Dame Vaako take Riddick back to the main ship.

Riddick is now on the main ship and he sees all the townspeople being converted (when your converted they make a hole in your neck). Lord Marshal tells this machine to run a test on Riddick to see what race he is from. The machine starts screaming that Riddick is a Furion and that they must kill him now. Riddick shoots his way out of the ship back onto the Helion Prime surface. We see a Necromonger battle ship chasing Riddick through the streets. We then see rockets hitting the battle ship sending it crashing to the ground. We find out the rockets came from Toomb's new crew of Merc's. They capture Riddick. And take them back to Toomb's ship.

Lord Marshal orders Vaako to personally track down Riddick and kill him. Vaako asks why he needs Riddick dead so badly. Marshal explains that in a vision he was told he would be killed by a Furion and Riddick is the only Furion left. Dame Vaako talks to Vaako about, if Vaako killed Marshal he would automatically become the new king.

Vaako ponders this thought and then heads out in search of Riddick. Riddick wakes up in chains on Toomb's ship. They say there going to turn Riddick into a prison and collect the money on his head. Riddick suggests they go to a prison on the planet Crematoria (Where Jack) is being held. We find out that Crematoria is a planet that if you step onto the surface you will burst into flames and die because of the heat when the suns are up.

The ship lands in a Hangar on Crematoria. They take Riddick on a little train to the underground prison of Crematoria. The Prison Director invites Toombs and his crew to stay overnight there so they can discuss the amount of money he will be paying for Riddick. As they are talking Riddick is wandering around the prison looking for Jack. He finds her. She tells him that she befriended some Merc's and they took her in as a slave. She killed them and got sent here. She says she no longer goes by Jack but now her name is Kyra.

Riddick tells her that they are going to escape from here. We see the suns pattern on the surface and how it works. Ever so often there is shade. Then the sun comes back and burns up everything in sight. After a long discussion Toombs and his crew don't agree with The Prison Director on how much money there being paid for Riddick. They end up killing each other and die.

Riddick releases a bunch of the prisoners and explains there going to have to travel on the surface to get back to Toombs ship. We find out that they are racing a bunch of Merc's who are traveling underground to get to the same ship.

On the surface they run to the hangar. When they get there they see a small army of Necromongers, led by Vaako at the hangar. The Hangar doors open and the Merc's engage in gunfire against the Necromongers as Riddick and Kyra watch from the mountains. They turn around and see the suns rays closing in on them. They run down the mountain and join the battle.

Kyra is knocked out by one of the Necromongers and taken prisoner onto there ship. Riddick is shot by Vaako, and he lies out in the open as the suns rays burn Riddick up. Vaako and the Necromongers leave with Kyra. Riddick wakes up in the hangar, He notices he is not alone as The Purifier is there with him. The Purifier is removing all of his Necromonger armor and explains to Riddick that he was also once a Furion. He leaves Riddick all of his armor and walks into the suns rays burning him up and he dies.

Riddick steals Toomb's ship and flies it back to Helion Prime wearing Necromonger armor. On the Necromonger ship Dame Vaako sees that Riddick is on board because she saw his eyes through the armor. She runs back to Vaako and informs him that Riddick is on board. She tells him to let Riddick almost kill Marshal and then kill Marshal so Vaako will become the new king of the Necromongers.

Riddick finds Lord Marshal in the throne room and tries to stab him from behind but Vaako uses his ghost like abilities to teleport to somewhere else. Marshal then shows Riddick the new and improved Kyra. She has a hole in her neck and has been converted to Necromonger. Necromongers form a circle around Riddick and Marshal as they begin to fight. Every time Riddick swings at Marshal, he teleports somewhere else. But you can always see where he's going to teleport because the ghost form of him moves there first and then Marshal follows. Marshal tackles Riddick to the ground and tries to remove his soul. Kyra runs in and stabs Marshal in the back. Marshal hits Kyra backwards impaling her onto a pole. Vaako then steps in with a huge axe. Marshal asks Vaako to finish Riddick off for him but Vaako moves towards Marshal. Vaako raises the axe to Marshal's head and Marshal's ghost form teleports over to Riddick as Vaako brings the axe down and misses. Riddick takes a knife and stabs it down into Marshal's head and breaks off the handle. Riddick falls back into Lord Marshal's thrown. Aereon approaches Riddick and tells him "You keep what you kill". ALL the Necromongers bow down to Riddick in his thrown as he is now the new leader of the Necromongers. {See Chronicles of Riddick} {For more history see also "Dark Fury", the Animated Short movie and "Escape from Butcher Bay", the X Box Game.}

Not wishing to stay where his friend has died, Riddick passed on the leadership, and got a ship to Tombstone. Now Riddick uses his shadows, which are actually 4 fallen angels, now 5, since the leader of the angels, the 5th one, the strongest and powerful of them all, joined them, stripped of their rank and power, and reduced to mere shadows, to guide him and help him on the more difficult kills. They are able to hide his scent, his sounds, any trace that he's been in an area, etc. As shadows they hold unique and strong powers, but remember the days they were Angels in fact and held much more power. When banished from heaven, they decided to find a special and powerful knife, which had come into Riddick's posession and serve the one who was the true bearer (Riddick).

He is a cold, ruthless killer. Let it be known. He cares for no one, and tends to keep to himself. He will use his knife to kill if he's not in the mood to stretch it out, but he also uses whatever's close to him. His own hands, if necessary, or a teacup. Whatever is close to him. He stays close to the shadows, and the dark.
