Ruka the Lucario

Species: Lucario
Gender: Male
Height: 120 cm (default Lucario height)
Nature: Timid

Team Rhyme member no. 4. Ruka joined Team Rhyme on Aeos Island shortly after Zephyr the Zeraora. Being timid, Ruka looks up to Zephyr who always tries his best. Like Zephyr, Ruka also wishes to be acknowledged by his powerful elder brother Ruki. Having a common goal, Ruka and Zephyr became best friends as they aim to grow stronger together.

Personality

Ruka’s very timid and shy, the opposite of his brave and powerful elder brother Ruki. He gets scared easily and much prefers doing peaceful activities like traveling or gardening over battles. But he wanted to impress Ruki and also prove that he can stand up for himself, so he joined Team Rhyme.

Despite his lack of strength, Ruka’s a sweet and gentle Lucario who’ll cheer up even strangers if he sensed distress in their aura. Being forever a Riolu inside, Ruka’s affectionate, quick to open his heart and likes to be spoiled.

Ruka’s Past

The kanji of Ruka’s name means ‘blue flower’ (瑠華). Ruki gave him the name as he wanted Ruka to have a beautiful heart like the blue flowers that grew in their homeland in the Sinnoh Region. As Riolu, Ruka and Ruki were very close, until Ruki got kidnapped by an evil organization. Ruki managed to escape by himself, but was traumatized and grew a resentment towards the weak. Thus, Ruki left Ruka in search of power. After evolving into a Lucario, Ruka set out to try win Ruki back. Finding Ruki on Aeos Island, Ruka tried to meet him, but Ruki refused, saying that he had nothing to do with the weak. Ruka joined Team Rhyme to become stronger in hopes of getting closer to Ruki.

Quirks

• Ruka understands the human language and can talk to humans through telepathy.
• Ruka idolizes his elder brother Ruki and Sir Aaron’s Lucario because they’re strong and cool and he wants to be like them. He also looks up to Zephyr a lot since Zephyr supports him and stands up for him all the time.
• Ruka’s quite derp and tends to fall asleep during meditation.
• He doesn’t really like to fight and prefers to solve things peacefully whenever possible.
• Ruka loves sweets! He likes to treat himself or be treated to some sweet berries or snacks after some hard work.
• Normally, Ruka gets scared easily. But under pressure, he goes berserk and fights with enough skill to convince people that he’s indeed the fearsome Ruki’s younger brother.
