Alright folks, here is another redesign of a Darkstalkers character. This time, it's Rikuo/Aulbath/Reeku, the merman. In the spirit of Halloween, I'm going to post not only my Darkstalkers redesigns, but also Masked Rider Vamp-R.

As you all know his lore, deep beneath the Amazon, lay a kingdom of the 30,000 mermen. One fateful day, this peaceful aquatic empire was shattered and destroyed by a tremendous earthquake and volcanic activity. The merman emperor and hero, Rikuo was alone. His empire destroyed, Rikuo was filled with rage and when he found out that Pyron was the one who caused the fall of his empire, he vowed to destroy him. When Rikuo met another survivor, Keera Aqueria, he settled down with her to rebuild his empire. He and his wife moved out of the Amazon into the great ocean to raise their family. Currently, the family consists of his wife Aqueria, his three sons and 12 soon to hatch eggs.

Rikuo and his family live in a crack, 150m deep. The current of the ocean doesn't make its way into the area and is a perfect location to protect their eggs from danger. Rikuo's current self-imposed duty is to search for any other survivors of his kingdom, he searches in a radius of 200km. Though close to his home is a deep oceanic trench, with a fast ocean current running through it, if Rikuo fell into the trench, even he couldn't swim against the strong current and the deepest he could search was 1000m deep. It was an endless search but Rikuo believed that other mermen had survived.

Ever since he and his family had moved to this sea, although very faint, he had sensed the life of something similar to his own race. As each day passed, his search for his fellow merman increases in area and the time he spends with his family decreases. During one of his searches, one of his sons, Ricky (Alba in Japan), disappears, Rikuo ponders to himself about how one could defend a kingdom if he cannot protect his own family. Soundly believing that his son was sucked into the Majigen, Rikuo heads his way into Jedah's realm but when the powers of Makai start to fade, the lost, dark sea of Sargasso was released from its century-long isolation and Rikuo found his son along with a new race of merman. The two families now help one another in order to rebuild the civilization of the sea.

In the upcoming 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Darkness Questerians', Rikuo meets with Felicia, Harry Grimore, and the other heroes as they are walking into a cemetery under her domain and she ends up surprising them by looking for fun. But, the heroes tell her about Demitri Maximoff, lord of the vampires teaming with Jedah Dohma and Damion Brandoson, the second son of Dio Brando, the Joestar family's greatest enemy, the Joestar's had been fighting him for over 100 years, until Jotaro Kujo defeated him in 1987 using his Stand [STAR PLATINUM].

Damion's adoptive family's company has announced a tournament where humans and Darkstalkers alike can enter and see if they have what it takes to defeat Demitri, Jedah and Damion himself, and Alicia reunites with Felicia after such a long time and she also meets Joharu Joestar, or JoJo as his nickname is. When he hears that Morrigan Aensland is on the side of good and has her sister Lilith with her, he agrees to help them win the tournament and gain access to this vault that was hidden by the nobles of Makai and Earth to make sure their enemies didn't get their hands on it.

I made him look like how he did before. Anyway, I hope you all like this new look for him, let me know what you think of him in the comment section down below. And be sure that you don't miss JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Darkness Questerians, coming soon!
