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.

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.
