Homebrew Riolu Species Details

Nearly all Riolu possess the ability to sense the aura of other nearby creatures. The auras appear to them as different color waves radiating from the creature, different emotions showing as different colors. They can also communicate to a select few using their Aura in a language that only creatures finely turned to auras can understand. The language consists of rapidly and artificially changing their auras to get across basic ideas. They are manually altered by the metallic like domes on their arms. The communication causes no sound and those who can’t sense auras are unable to see it making it a great way of communicating silently.

Most Riolu are cautious creatures by nature. They won't approach any one that they sense could be dangerous or have strong auras. They are small, but powerful and wont hesitate to fight for what they believe in even if they are frightened. However, once they have started a fight, they won't stop until they feel they have given it their all. They say this drive to be victorious comes from their early ancestors. The story goes there once was a village of Riolu and Lucario who swore their allegiance to a Legend and in return gained immortality. Now this group of immortal Pokemon travel around the plains protecting those that are too weak to protect themselves, their children gaining the same endurance and fortitude that they now possess.

Living in large groups with other creatures is where most Riolu feel comfortable. They enjoy watching others live their day to day lives and observe how the colors of their auras mix together as they interact with one another. Its not uncommon to see a Riolu sitting outside or at a window simply observing others walk by with a faint, content smile on their face.
