Names: Taka Riskan and Maku Riskan
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 110 lbs
Taka Riskan is the younger (2 minutes) twin brother of Maku Riskan. The two were born in the town of Reyone. The two were often looked up to as role models by younger children..
The twins took those roles seriously, but expressed them differently. Taka chose to impress upon his younger peers the importance of kindness and respect, and not to fight except in self defense. Maku, on the other hand, taught the importance of control, and defeating an opponent before they could become a real threat.
Then, when the barriers between the worlds broke with the defeat of Arius, the twins were each changed by the energies released. Taka absorbed a burst of energy from the break of Heaven, and Maku absorbed a burst from the opening of Hell. The results were unexpected, to say the least. In the weeks that followed, Taka learned that he could heal the wounds of others through physical contact alone. In contrast, Maku could cause cuts and bruises with the lightest of touches.
Finally, 6 months after gaining their abilities, Maku snapped. He had often told his brother that with his abilities, he could take care of Reyone's crime problems in a few days, especially with Taka there to keep him alive. Eventually, Maku lost his patience with his brother's pacifism, and did exactly as he had threatened. He went on a killing spree, killing 30 minor criminals in the area before being chased out of town by the police.
Maku struck out, then, his sanity failing as he traveled from town to town, attempting to make the world a better place by eliminating those he saw as stains upon society. Unfortunately, as he has become less and less sane, he now sees society itself as the problem, and indiscriminately kills all those he comes in contact with. His power has begun to strengthen, to the point where he can now cause serious damage to buildings, and kill most humans through purposeful physical contact.
Taka, after cleaning up his brother's mess at home, was exiled, for fear that he would somehow follow his brother's madness. He took with him only food, fishing gear, camping supplies, and a walking staff. He followed his brother's trail through village after village, and found that his powers had strengthened as well. He could bring people back from beyond the grave, as long as their bodies were still warm. In addition, he can effectively nullify any structural damage caused by his brother, but not by other sources. Unfortunately, restoring those lives destroyed by his brother has put him behind, and the trail has nearly run cold.
