Personality – Riddick is a Survivalist Rogue. Richard's first first and primary motivation at all times is to keep himself alive and kicking to see the next sunset. He is willing to perform any form of sadism, endure any level of torment, to stay one step ahead of the people after him (of which there are a lot). He is snide, plays things close to his chest, and generally projects a nihilistic worldview. In his life, everyone is on the foodchain, and he does his best to be an apex predator.​

Despite being selfish and determined, Riddick does have a small moral compass that mostly revolves around minimizing the risk to innocent lives (with a particular sympathy towards children), and avoiding damage to people who are already disadvantaged. If it comes to a choice between himself and one of these people, he won't hesitate to put himself first...but he will feel bad about it later. Riddick tries his best to assess the risks and rewards of a situation before committing to it, and always has a backup plan...but once he's determined to find an outcome, he will brutalize every obstacle in his path.​

Possible Reactions

Opponent off-guard: "That's too bad, sunshine." Followed by a quick snap of the neck.
Injured team-mate: "Of course you were the bait. Don't even act surprised."

Stronger Opponent: "Oh we could get into a fight. Maybe you'll even win this scrap, but uh...if I can't take you out, better believe I'll make sure the next guy can."

Quest Item sitting exposed: Riddick glanced over his shoulder at the rest of the rabble slugging it out, palmed the keystone, and slid back into the shadows.

Someone begging or trying to make friends: "...that sounds nice. Real good offer. But this was already decided when you put that collar on." Proceed to shanking.

About to Die: "FUCK THIS. FUCK YOU."​

Relationships – Riddick is here to get a plea bargain frok Kaalakiota Corp., not make friends. He won't be eager to talk much, but he always has a soft spot for kids or younger folk.

Anyone with a bounty on their head is going to be a priority target for him. Might as well cash in some chips while he's here.​

'Combat’ Style – Riddick will not fight until he has the upper hand, whether that's through a stealthy approach, high ground, better resources, more allies, etc. He will evade and stall the enemies until he can either flee or make an advantage, and with his night vision, this usually means trying to find a dark area. Once he has a target at a disadvantage, he will focus on one target at a time, making sure they're completely neutralized before moving on.

Riddick doesn't fight particularly well with allies in a melee, but he is naturally adept at picking off opponents who are distracted or flanked in combat. When he does fight, it's like being mauled by a mountain lion: overwhelming brute force until the victim stops breathing. As an experienced rogue and assassin, he naturally prefers going for soft, vital areas.

Eligible Abilities – NPC Abilities, but here goes.

Cat-Like Physique:
Riddick his yoked, lithe, and quick. He is tougher than the average human, but not excessively so. Riddick relies on shock attack and evasion to keep himself safe, and is more than strong enough to snap someone's neck.

Shine Job:
Riddick had his eyes modified so that he can see perfectly in almost total darkness. This, naturally makes him painfully light-sensitive without his goggles, even to moderate light sources such as flashlights. He can also only see in shimmering shades of purple.

Bestial Empathy:
Richard gets along well with other killers. He is able to form quick, almost empathic links with animals, aliens, and predators of all kinds.

If It Bleeds:
As an experienced career-murderer, Riddick has a knack for analyzing weak spots and open areas in his opponents' defenses...unless it's mechanical or robotic in nature. When in doubt, go for the legs.

Technical Adept:
He's not exactly a computer-whiz, but he has basic proficiency with high-tech gadgetry, astronautics and improvised tools.

Extra – Being in the room with Riddick should feel like being in a room with a jaguar. Outside of that, just do what Vin Diesel would do.

Quotes

"I bow to no man."

Slam Guard: You'll kill us... with a soup cup?
Richard B. Riddick: Tea, actually.
Slam Guard: What's that?
Richard B. Riddick: I'll kill you with my teacup.

"There's gonna be one speed... mine. If you can't keep up, don't step up. You'll just die."

"You made three mistakes. First, you took the job. Second, you came light. A four man crew for me? Fucking insulting. But the worst mistake you made...empty gun rack."

Richard B. Riddick: Don't bother. Guards ain't there. They figured out the Necros are comin' for me. Plan was to clean the bank, ghost the mercs, break wide for the tunnel. And then somebody got a lucky shot off with this rocket launcher here... and took out the sled. Guards took off on foot but rigged the door so no one could follow. They'll take the one ship in the hangar and leave everyone else to die.
Toombs: How come you know all this shit? You weren't even here.
Richard B. Riddick: Cause it was my plan.

Threads/Post - If you want to have some fun, just rent Pitch Black or Chronicles of Riddick; really fun movies. (Although I'd be surprised if you haven't.)​
