SHEEKA PRIMROSE RIVA
Gender: Male.
Age: Nineteen; May 19th
Sexuality: Heterosexual-Bicurious
Ethnicity: Italian
Faction: Mafia
Occupation: High school student. Works at a cafe.
PERSONALITY
Positives
Growing up as he did, Sheeka has learned to be calm and resourceful to help him get through tough situations. He's also highly sensitive because of the abuse he went through as a young child. He doesn't like seeing other people hurting or in pain and honestly likes trying to help anybody in need. Charm is something that he seemed to have inherited from his mother and people seem to enjoy how charming and outright endearing the cute little shota is when they see him. Hard to resist any sort of cuteness, after all. Despite being a year behind in school, Sheeka seems to have a great deal of intelligence but just never seems to actually use it for school. He's one of those students who sails through the school year on C or B averages. Tenacious as anything, Sheeka doesn't honestly like quitting on something. He'd much rather see something through than quit in the middle of it. He's deadset on the path he's chosen for himself and would rather keep walking over turning back.
Negatives
Sheeka's insecurity is something he has never seemed to be able to shake from his personality. He doesn't believe in himself all the time and lacks the confidence in his own abilities. Part of the problem could be the abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepmother and his father, or for other various reasons that one couldn't begin to fathom. Sheeka's lack of confidence in his own skills can often lead to his habit of self-blame, if something goes wrong, he usually attempts to find a way to blame himself. Sheeka has a rather nasty habit of being overly selfless, often willingly to help others at the cost of his own happiness or safety. The loss of his mother at a young age has lead to him being a little bit clingy and fearful of losing loved ones again. He doesn't like any of these traits of his, but his need to have something to cling to is part of the reason he can usually be seen carrying stuffed animals. Stuffed animals, to him, are an anchor he needs to stop from being lonely. Sheeka was once a naive child, but due to the influence of Raitaro and the fact that he's come out of his shell a little since he had joined the Spiaggia, he is honestly a little bit devious and doesn't really have any issues with doing things an underhanded way. Of course, he's always been a little devious, considering he had no qualms with pick pocketing people or anything of the sort, but the removal of the naivety because of his relationship with the Inazuma's has lead him to this point. Incredibly unforgiving and vindictive, he has been known to hold grudges for a long time and isn't willing to let it go until somebody makes him get over it or he gets a reason to get over it. It's a trait that honestly doesn't seem to fit in the calm and resourceful boy, but Sheeka seems to be a bit reckless in some of the things he does.

MISCELLANEOUS
• Sheeka is rather small for his age and for his gender, standing barely five foot two inches tall. People tend to joke and make fun of his height, which seems to make him pout and annoy him somewhat. He also firmly believes that maybe he's not the abnormally short one, maybe you're the abnormally tall one.
• Sheeka is a marksman and a sniper and does an exceptional job at his job. While his box weapon is a close to mid-range weapon, Sheeka's specializes more in the mid-to-long range type of fighting. His size, however; does seem to give him some sort of advantage when he does get stuck in close-range.
History Sheeka was born somewhere in Italy, he doesn't quite remember where at this point in time. Since he's been around most of Italy throughout the first nineteen years of his life, he doesn't honestly care which part he came from. He was born to Varina Rovati and Faust Rithan, and for the most part both of his parents were exceedingly loving. Especially his mother. Varina was a lovely charming woman that just about anybody could get along with and like, no matter who they are. She simply was a people person. Of course, the only person in her life at this point in time was her son. Varina enjoyed spoiling her beloved son rotten and loved him to pieces. He usually got what he wanted, much to the annoyance of his father who believed a boy should be doing boyish things with other boys or their father and not buying stuffed animals and doing kind of girlish things with their mother like Sheeka did.
When Varina became pregnant with her second child, the entire family was very happy. Sheeka wanted a little sibling he could spoil too. He knew that he would probably get less attention from his mother because of a new baby in the house, but she'd be getting less attention from him too because he had a lot to teach the new addition to the household.
Sheeka never got to teach the new addition anything. Varina was nearly seven months pregnant when she went into preterm labor while her husband was at work. She and Sheeka were the only two home at the time and Sheeka had promised his father everyday that he'd take care of his mama while he was gone. It didn't really go as he had promised, however; there was something wrong with the baby and Varina was in too much pain to even get to the phone to call 911. At this point, Sheeka was frozen in terror. He'd said he'd take care of his mama...but now that he had to...he didn't know how to. To be honest, there wasn't anything the five-year old could have done at that point in time, anyway. When his father arrived home, he found that his wife had passed away and a half-hysterical child who had just watched his mother and unborn sibling die in a pool of blood. Any father in the right mind might have thought to comfort his child, but instead, in a fit of anger, he snapped and placed the blame of his wife's death onto the child he should have been comforting.
That was the end of any relationship Sheeka may have had with his father. After his mother's death, Sheeka's father started neglecting the child and going out to get drunk a lot. He wasn't a violent drunk or anything, at that point he'd never done anything violent towards his son. At least until he brought home Malvolia about a year after the death of his wife and announced that they were married. With Malvolia in his life...life seemed to plummet even more down for the child. That woman hated him, for some reason, and whenever something went wrong or anything of the sorts, it was automatically his fault. His father seemed to be enchanted by this woman and did whatever she wanted to. It wasn't long until the neglect he had suffered had turned into full on emotional and physical abuse. The cycle went on for another three years until Sheeka had enough of it. At that point, the child was so depressed and in self-loathing that he didn't honestly care what happened to him at this point in his life and decided to run away. It was easy enough to get out of the house and never look back. He was only a couple months away from his tenth birthday.
Nearly two years Sheeka spent as a run away, picking pockets to survive. He did a lot of dangerous things during those years, possibly in hopes that one of the dangerous things would lead him to his potential death. It was what he deserved, after all. Years of emotional abuse had done that to him.
Of course, he isn't like this now. Neither does his live on the streets. It was a few weeks before Christmas when his life did a complete three-sixty degree turn. He didn't remember the last time he had eaten, so he was stalking out a pair of rich-looking gentlemen and when he tried to pick pocket them both, he was caught. Fear and knowledge of what happened the couple of times he'd been caught in the past told him to bolt. And he did. A couple days passed and at some point he noticed that he was being followed from a distance. One of the men he had failed in stealing from was following him, just following him. He wasn't trying anything, but he was simply watching. Sometimes Sheeka would wake up and he'd be gone, but he'd come back and leave some food or something warm to wear on a chilly day. At some point, he built up enough trust of the blonde and approached him. The only statement he needed was that the blond and the red-head that had caught him trying to steal from them knew his mother. With a little fuss and a lot of continued distrust of the two, Sheeka eventually went home with them and a couple months later, was adopted by Alessandro Riva and Celino Arcoh. As it turned out, the two were members of the Giglio Nero mafia family - of course, it had become the Spiaggia...but they still knew it as the Giglio Nero and always would. His mother had been the Mist guardian for their family.
Sheeka learned more and more about the mafia word, even learning how to use his flames in the process until Alessandro and Celino heard that the Spiaggia was resurfacing now that the son of the previous Lightning guardian and the leader of the family was old enough to take the mantle of boss. Sheeka readily agreed to be their Mist guardian. Alessandro and Celino had changed his life for the better and he wanted to pay them back in anyway he could, even if it meant being sent to Japan. It's been about a year since he's joined the Spiaggia as their Mist Guardian, but it's been a good year, even if his boss is a complete moron.
BOX INFORMATION
Alias: Mist's Assassin
Affiliation: Spiaggia's Mist Guardian
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Flame Attribute & Abilities:
Mist Flame.
Mist flames, of course, aid in the creation of illusions. One of his main methods of using his illusions is either making an illusionary firearm and bullets. While he does carry around a real gun, that weapon is more of a last-ditch effort at protection. His main weapons are mist guns that he creates. These guns do a mild amount of damage, but being shot with one isn't going to be as life threatening as a real bullet. For example, these won't fragment and cause damage and the bullet will disappear after impact. At most, if hit, it would cause a lot of pain as well as if hit several times in the same area, cause internal bleeding.
cross fire burst-attraversare scoppio fuoco – An offensive type ability, Sheeka makes a dozen small tennis-ball sized real illusion spheres, that when fully charged, can be used to fire three shots from each for a total of thirty-six shots in any direction he aims it. It is a little bit more difficult to support each ball away from Sheeka, but he can. This is especially helpful because he can use them to surround his enemy.
Range: 30 meters in any direction. These are small beams; however, they are rather quick so although easy to move out of the way, you have to move fast enough to move out of the way. Sheeka is also know to fire several at once, making it hard to dodge.
Duration: Three posts. The spheres are there for three posts, just floating around their master until he shoots them. These also have three shots per sphere and ones that are not depleted by the end of the third post are absorbed back into mist flames by Sheeka.
Cooldown: Six posts.
darkness incarnate-tenebre incarnato
This ability is pure illusion on somebody's mind compared to Sheeka's more offensive abilities. This ability can be used as both a defensive and an offensive ability in its usage; however, it seems to be fit well for an offensive defense as well.
Going by the name, Sheeka puts the illusion on somebody of complete darkness. The darkness of barely being able to see your hand in front of your own face. With said darkness, one can hear the sounds of snarling and growling and see the occasional glint of red or golden eyes within the darkness - as if they are being stalked by some creature. The next thing is not only the feel of claws and teeth, but the damage they could cause. The claws and the teeth are not illusions however, they are simply Sheeka attacking with a mix of close-range cuts with his gunblade, or longrange real illusion bullets. The victim can not see these in the darkness, however; so has no clue what is attacking them. He makes sure to come from different directions so he can never be pinpointed.
Duration: 4 Posts
Cool down: 5 posts.
Range: This is a normal illusion, so it is only in the minds of the one it has been put on. The darkness is of the mist and the attacks from the creatures within the darkness are real illusions, so they can do real damage.
Box Weapon:
MIST STILETTO AND TANTO
Sheeka uses an odd combination of two different types of short blades when in close-combat fighting. Both weapons have been modified to be able to be used as both slashing and piercing weapons. Being ambidextrous, it doesn't matter which hand either weapon is in. His tanto seems to be slightly longer in length than his stiletto by a few inches, but he keeps the weapon coated in mist flames to make them both seem like they are the exact same lengths.
Sheeka is one of the few illusionists known to fight in close-combat should it come to it, much like Mukuro Rokudo of the Tenth Generation who was noted to be an 'oddball' among illusionists for his combat-orientated style of fighting. Sheeka mimics this style in being able to not only provide support with his illusions, but also be able to act as a fighter on his own terms.
Box Animal:

Equipment:
Semi-Automatic Sig Sauer
SEGNO HELL RING
Ability 1: veil of shadows - velo di ombre
Signing the kanji for 'shadow' in the air with mist flames and segno, the ring activiates and causes three posts of complete concealment from the human senses as well as technology. In essence, the user 'ceases to exist' to technological and human senses. During this time, they can attack, but it will usually reveal their location and disrupt the ability. Even those with Hyper Intiuation have problems locating the user, but unlike most, eventually they will be able to locate them.
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown: 6 posts
Ability 2: veil of the devils - velo dei diavoli
Signing the kanji for "devil" with mist flames and Segno, the ring places a perfect illusion of whatever the user has decided to create. The illusion mimimizes flame usage and detection. Exceptionally good for any undercover work. It's usage is limited in combat, but for anything undercover it is an exceptional abilty.
Duration: Until Deactiviated.
Cooldown: None.
Ability 3: demon's veil - il velo del demone
"demon" in kanji, Sheeka takes on the physical appearance of anybody he knows as well as their abilties. 'knowing' somebody means knowing their name and their appearance. Unlike the previous, this ability is combat orientated and uses a lot of mist flames to do so. It also copies abilities, meaning that mist flames also create the illusion of the flames of that ability. However, for abilities outside Mist Flames, Sheeka finds it hard to control or even know how to use properly. Nor can he use the weapon of whoever he took on to its fullest extent unless he knows the weapon. Knowledge does not become his and he would have to train extensively in the appearance of somebody. For example, Raitaro, just because he can /use/ his abilties with the spear, doesn't mean he could do them properly. He would have to train in Rai's appearance to be able to properly do his abilties and even then, it would never be as good or powerful as the original.
Duration: 5 Posts
Cooldown: Once a thread
