Overview
Rikon is a nobleman of the Cockatrice Clan, a member of its former royal family the Istabannoi. He is famous as an athlete and soldier, with a fearsome reputation in and out of the training pit.
He is more infamously an ex-slave, having been found on the way from Shamibelian territory to Anarinuell by Lord Atreides Keniwik. After spending years in the gladiator pits of Shamibel, he won freedom for himself and his brother. Being tall and brooding, he tends to naturally intimidate many people. Though he has been in the city for years now, he still has some tendencies leftover from his long captivity, such as discomfort with close proximity of women.
Ranks & Offices
Rikon somewhat distinctively eschews most of his titles. Nonetheless, he occupies some positions:
- Cockatrice Clan Proxy
- Commander, Republic Navy
- CINCCOCK
Family Life
Parents
Rikon is the only child of Lady Bashona Istabannos and Lord Aldrikos Ista Aldrik. His father disappeared and was presumed dead before he was born, only to come back after his mother had married Prince Sadin Elianik. His mother and Sadin's marriage was annulled and, as Bashona was pregnant at the time with Adan, Aldrikos and Bashona divorced. Sadin and Bashona did not remarry, however. A fellow named Lord Trikon Ista Barun picked her some years later with the marriage prize, and this continued until Rikon and his family were kidnapped and sold into slavery.
Rikon's mother is still a slave, and he bears her Unotian jewelry at all times to honor her. His father is not around much, but the few times they have met things have gone quite well.
Siblings
Adan: Rikon only has one brother, Adan. Though Adan is technically only his half-brother, being the son of Sadin, the two are quite close. Rikon is very protective of his sickly sibling, but as Adan grew up he felt it was necessary to try and push him out of his shadow. Adan married out of Clan and family to Arika N'Gato. Later on, he showed up with some woman named Yassamin and was intent on marrying her. After divorcing Arika, Adan later on married Yassamin with a prize.
Marriage
Diamia: After winning the physical pentathlon in the 38 A.U. Fall Festival, Rikon daringly chose his cousin and Clan Leader with the marriage prize. It threw the clan into spasms of happiness, uniting the Istabannos-IstaNydiam claims for good. They seem to get along quite well, and Rikon is known to shower his wife with many gifts.
Children
Anais: Anais was born on September 12, 39 A.U. She looks like Rikon's mother. She is also freaking loud.
Audrey: Audrey was born on September 12, 40 A.U. She has brown hair, weirdly. Smiles all the time.
Amaryllis: Amaryllis was born on September 12, 41 A.U. She has blonde hair and cries all the time. Rikon tries to ignore her existence.
Accomplishments
Didoron Estate Riots: During the Witan Incident, angry rioters showed up at the Didoron Estate. The initial attempts by those on the scene proved disastrous, only inciting the mob to more violence. Rikon showed up and took control of the situation, quickly neutralizing the angry Cockatrices.
Missing Bear Girls: When Red Bears in Nelabam began agitating against their new Clan, a group began kidnapping Bear women. Two in particular were taken in Anarinuell, and Rikon helped find them and eventually make sure they were released.
War Season: Rikon served on the Front, distinguishing himself with a major organizational and support role, as well as valiantly going after a Shamibelian warlord single-handedly in a battle. He suffered a grevious wound because of it. The following war season, during the Reconquest Campaign, he went to the front on behalf of the Clan Council in order to ensure the return of Clan Leader Ania.
Olympics: To date, Rikon has won ten medals (7 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze) over two Olympics. The Cockatrice Clan prevailed as overall champions both of those years.
Enemies
Rikon does not seem to keep any enemies at all, though Clan Leader Ojitar seems to make angryfaces at him sometimes. While not enemies, he considers Lucas and Argin to be drunken ingrates with more ambition than sense.
- Lady Muggles
- Lady Snuggles
- Amaryllis
Allies
- His cousins, on either side of the family. Especially Princess Akiva and Lord Aeryk.
- Clan Leader Fidelia Ista Aldrik, one of his mother's dearest friends and his father's kinswoman.
- Lord Zafir Junik, though he needs to actually be out and about some more.
- Anais
- Audrey
Scandals
The only personal scandal that has ever come up with Rikon were vague mutterings after he left the First Division. People felt that it looked suspicious for an ex-slave, but the young Lord has made up for it in spades with multiple terms in the military.
Another scandal was a supposed 'abandoning of the front' during the first part of the Battle of Ellish during the Reconquest Campaign. Bringing this scurrilous rumor up in Rikon's presence is not a good idea.
