Riven
The voice of supremacy
Riven is proud, persuasive and unwilling to be helpless again. Rejection turns his fear into an argument: if the world will not accept them, perhaps it should obey them.
He can make that argument sound like freedom. The people beside him must decide where freedom ends and domination begins.
- Ability
- Projects violet kinetic force and shockwaves, moves heavy objects and forms brief pressure barriers. Retractable claws remain part of his altered body.
- Limits
- Concentration shapes his force. Anger can increase its violence while destroying its precision.
“They taught us what we are worth. Now we teach them what we are capable of.”

Cooperation is not absolution
Riven helps save civilians, and Bigg saves his life. Their uneasy agreement does not settle their disagreement about power or erase Riven’s violence. His later allegiance remains open.
