Alright, I've been putting this off for a while, but now I guess it's time that the questions be updated now that he has a larger range of questions that needs to be told than he did before the reboot. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help in any way I can. All you need to do is ask.

Sensing: In essence, his sense of smell is greater than a normal human being's due to his time in the darkness. Riku can generally sense the difference between light and dark within an individual, along with what can make him different from a normal person. This leads to a three-part question:
a. Can he sense what your character truly is?
b. If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'?
c. What do they smell like? (And for you canine people, "wet dog" doesn't count.)

Darkness: Riku walks the middle road; wielding darkness itself goes without saying at this point. However, he tries to limit his usage of it. Not only can he use it in combat, but he can also use it to travel via Corridors of Darkness.
a. What is your character's tolerance to dark magic?
b. Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is?
(note: He normally asks first unless the other is being an idiot.)

What is "Darkness"?
In Kingdom Hearts canon, Darkness is a force parallel to the Light and also used in the form of attacks and magic. Toying with Darkness is like playing with fire─if not careful, the wielder can be lost to it and become a Heartless. Normally used by the villains and believed to be pure malevolence, it isn't completely evil and is often misunderstood as such. Several friendly characters use it, including Riku and Terra. Using and following where the darkness leads comes at a price, however: those who follow it often lose something of their former selves while gaining a great surge of strength.


...Corridors of Darkness?
Yes. They're hidden passageways used to travel from point A to point B, normally between worlds. It's faster than Gummi Ships, but leaves the user at great risk for being corrupted or destroyed by the Darkness. That said, Rep has never truly used it to traverse worlds─merely as a way to teleport around the same world.


The heck is a Gummi Ship?
...A rocket ship made out of gummi blocks. No, I don't get why gummi bear-material is good for space travel, either.


Enjoy a little coding to answer with:

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Go for it.
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? He's a light elemental angel, artificially made, but yeah.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? He's somewhere in the middle, being light elemental but carrying a lot of guilt over the shit he's done.
What do they smell like? Pine trees, sword polish, feathers, magic.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? He's strong against it.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Kratos can do that too, so go ahead lol.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yes!
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? Kaworu is an Angel, which means something vastly different in his world than it does in ours (i.e. no Heavenly chorus). Though his nature isn't outwardly apparent, Riku's free to perceive it at his leisure.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? Oooh, this is hard, especially since I'm canonblind and don't know the grading scale too well. He's essentially the series' Jesus figure, and believe that redemption is possible for any sin, and that there is always hope no matter the circumstance... but he feels sorrow for being unable to keep his promise to make a certain person happy. Maybe a 2??
What do they smell like? Blood and laundry detergent.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? This is another difficult question, just because magic doesn't exist in the Eva universe. For what it's worth, Kaworu's A.T. Field - which he's able to use as a means of protection, like a physical barrier stemming from his soul - is supposed to be the strongest encountered in his series. That would either give him a very good tolerance, or not matter at all, depending on how magic works in the KH universe. I think I'll leave that up to your judgement!
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Absolutely.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Well, it's not like he doesn't already know anyways.
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? Currently he has some slight trouble with a certain unwelcome freeloader he still carries around, but again. Nothing he doesn't already know
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? Generally around 6.5-ish, on a bad day he drifts towards 8-9/10 though.
What do they smell like? Himself + traces of the freeloader
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Very High
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Given that OU!ku may or may do the same at some point...

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yes
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'?With the coat on - Human Shaped Nobody. With the coat off, nobody with a a small heart that s regrowing.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? I would say a 5 at this point.
What do they smell like? Ice, science-y stuff.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Er - I would say vexen has average tolerance.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? YES PLZ.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? sure!
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? he's half human and half shinzoku (that being the term for a race of beings similar to humans but with pretty extremely large amounts of magic power, to the extent that they were once thought of as gods), and it's not much of a secret these days so yeah go for it.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? just a bit worse than average, probably arounda 6 or 7.
What do they smell like? vanilla, lavender, and ocean air.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? on his own maybe only slightly better than an average human's, but the sword he carries works with light and life energy so that would likely given him a pretty solid defense.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? sure.

copy-pasting forms doesn't do good on the phone thing buuuuuuuut Riku's welcome to sense whatever he likes! Ember here is a replica from a world with kind of reversed replica rules from the KH series, and he would probably smell like music and a newly lit fire.

Yes I know music doesn't have a smell. Work with me here.

To all outward appearances, though, he's a pretty normal human, and that does include the dark magic tolerance. And of course you can hassle him anywhere, he'll probably think it's cool.

edit: herp knew I forgot something - Ember's probably marginally swayed towards the light side, but overall he's pretty balanced out, so.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yes
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? Mostly human. To clarify, Asuka was an ordinary human being, but being an Evangelion pilot has halted her aging at 14 (she's actually twice that by now) and she was possessed by an Angel that one time which may or may not have done something with her missing eye.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? 4-5 maybe? I'm none too familiar with KH myself so feel free to make a better guess. Asuka's trying to save humanity but she's also a cranky jaded asshat whose seen the world end twice so... also depends how much the angel contamination thing plays into it.
What do they smell like? LCL; it smells like irony blood, basically; it's a fluid they fill the Entry Plugs with when piloting Evangelions so she's pretty deeply associated with the stuff.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Again, canon-blind so I have no idea. Probably just slightly above human average.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Yes, though expect her to be a little irate over it

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Sure.
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? He's just a normal human with an anger problem.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? 6-7ish? Gale would be somewhere close to the middle, with a lean toward Darkness.
What do they smell like? Coal and smoke, with a hint of foresty scent.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Given that he doesn't have any special powers of his own? Probably relatively low.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Go for it! Gale won't appreciate it, though.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yep!
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? He's just a plain old human. Nothing special here, folks.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? I'd say... 4? ish?
What do they smell like? Clean linen, wood, cinnamon. He might have traces of a dark magic smell since he was cursed not too long ago?
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Aahaha zero.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Fine with me!

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Sure!
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? She's a Descender, which is a being born from a World Tree and made of mana. In other words, she's a bunch of magical energy in the shape of a human, so if you're sensitive to that sort of stuff it'll be obvious to him.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? Kanonno is generally a positive person that tries to be cheerful and kind, however, she hides a deep sense of guilt and lost innocence in her. So maybe 4ish??
What do they smell like? If you're smelling her for her mana, it smells like fresh snow in the moonlight. If you're talking literally, probably plants and flowers and foresty stuff or baked goods.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? She has a fair magic defense in general.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? I'm fine with that.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yep.
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? That Mami is basically a lich :Vb Her body is merely a husk and it is merely being controlled by the ring Mami wears.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? I'd have to say Mami would be somewhere in the middle because Puella Magi are made from wishes. It would definitely go up higher when she is giving in to her despair and thus turning into a witch (plus, she does have a lot of issues that she's hiding beneath a smile).
What do they smell like? Cinnamon, tea, and gunpowder.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Pretty high, I think.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Sure sure. :|b

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yes! He probably already knows.
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? Sora's "Nobody," but likely with a heart of his own. He doesn't even need to look.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? Roxas is a Pretty Princess who likes his tea with sugar and dressing up in skirts and His element is Light, but he can still use Oblivion. He's probably around 2-3?
What do they smell like? Twilight Town and Destiny Islands. Sea salt, cold keyblade metal, Light. His Twilight Town clothes might have scents of the plastic-foam of struggle bats and warm pretzel on them for a while. He'll be in those, usually. His coat would have a leathery smell.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? High. It depends on his ability to deflect and dodge at the time, but say he was infected with it, he would probably heal faster than usual, given his Light.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? Yep!

If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? Just what she looks like an anthropomorphic fox
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? One. If her word had a princess of heart it would probably be this derp.
What do they smell like? Er...fur and Soap probably?
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Very little I would presume, there's no magic at all in her world see.
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? If he wants

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Yeah, it's nothing special.
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? Just another squishy human being.
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them?
Probably an eight, for having to work on criminal cases at a young age.
What do they smell like? really expensive "I have so much money but I'm not bragging as much as I should because I'm classy" perfume, paperwork and teacakes
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? squishy human being
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? okay.

Can Riku sense what your character truly is? Of course!
If so, what are they and can he tell just by a passing 'glance'? He's a normal human but of course personas running around in his head. I leave it to your best judgement :)
On a scale of one to ten (one being Princess of Heart aka nada, thirteen fucking Xehanort), what level of "darkness" do they have within them? Between 2-3? He's not Princess of Heart material but he is human. Again, since you play a version of him, I'll leave it to your discretion (that and yu know more than me)
What do they smell like? King's Game chopsticks Mostly, he smells pretty clean like linen fresh, cinnamon, dark chocolate, could be a lingering scent of the TV World due to going in there a lot.
What is your character's tolerance to dark magic? Normal human, break at will
Can he break privacy laws and just teleport to where your character is? ...this is Yu. He would most likely not care. XD;
