PERSONALITY
Rika is an intriguing and complex invidiual. She combines vivid artistic flair with tactical acumen, often leaving a distinctive mark on her presentation. Highly independent and resourceful, she navigates intricate situations with charm and strategic foresight. Her personality reflects a strong loyalty and a playful, sometimes flirtatious demeanor, which makes her both mysterious and captivating in her interactions. She is also very covetous, and and perhaps a bit greedy. She yearns for taking "the one big score". Yet, she is selfless enough to put it aside if it means someone who is less fortunate than others.
STRENGTHS
Mando: Like many other Mandalorian foundlings, Rika was taught the various forms of martial training expected from her adopted culture. Hand-to-hand combat, edged weaponry, blasters. She is well equipped with the knowledge to survive most fights, and how to seek out the right tools in such situtations.
Treasure Hunter: Due to her obsession with seeking out relics and fortunes, she has gained the knowledge to become a seasoned spelunker, clue-solver, and trap-finder. She is someone you want on your side if there is a heist involved.
WEAKNESSES
Odd Duck: Due to her non-traditional path, Rika is sometimes given an odd look by other Mandalorians. While not outright labelled as dar'manda or aruetii, her choice in life is often questioned by more hardlined traditionalists in the Mandalorian community.
Thief: Rika has done her fair share of heists to statisfy her kleptomania, but she has also made herself the enemy of a few powerful people. Needs to tread lightly, but likely will not.
HISTORY
Rika's origins trace back to her discovery as a foundling. She was born on the gambling world of Canto Bight. Far from living from the seemingly endless wealth of its patrons, Rika's birth family was destitute and constantly harassed by local thugs. In one such instance, her parents perished, living Rika orphaned at the age tender age of six. A couple years later, she was found by a Mandalorian of Clan Beviin adopted her as a foundling. Living in exile from Mandalore, the clan raised her with a deep sense of heritage and honor, typical of the Mandalorian culture. Rika, from a young age, was surrounded by the stories like those of the Flame of Manda cult, known for their secret vaults brimming with ancient treasures. Having grown up in poverty in a world flowing with gold, credits, and opulence....such legends sparked her imagination and created a lifelong obsession.
Unlike the typical paths chosen by her Mandalorian brethren who leaned towards the arts of war and mercenary work, Reekah developed an affinity for treasure hunting and thievery. Her upbringing imbued her with the tales of hidden riches and artifacts, which ignited her passion for exploration and acquisition of forgotten relics. She has sought out rare treasures, or has raided the personal collections of the Galaxy's elite who have pilfered treasures from countless worlds. On those occassions, she tries to return that what was stolen to the original inheritors if she can
And now, as groups like the Mandalorian Protectors and others have began to rediscover Mandalorian relics, Rika feels it is her time to shine and seek out the greatest score in Galaxy history: The Lost Vaults of Furya Prime!
