Dayrise is a casual, evolving Kingdom Hearts roleplay board. The admin's been out of the group game a long time and decided to try and recapture the feeling of old forum threads that grew and shifted with the members. Rules, mechanics, plot, and just about everything else is subject to change as we find our rhythm!
Canons and OCs alike are welcome at Dayrise, and the roleplay will operate in a sort of three inches left of center type of AU around Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts 3. We hope the initial meandering, slice-of-life-ish vibe is something you'd be interested in, and we can't wait to build up these worlds with you! ♡

Where've you been?:
Bouncing around different places. I'm currently wandering around Radiant Garden if you need me for something.
What've you been up to?:
With a momentary peace, Riku's been trying to take it easy. For the last he doesn't even know how many years, he hasn't really had time to just... relax. Either he was corrupted by the darkness, or actively making up for that fact. After doing a some housekeeping style errands after their latest clash with the darkness, he's just been... sight seeing, really. It's been really good for him to get out and see the worlds and not have to worry about the heartless or the nobodies or his friends in mortal peril. He really enjoyed visiting San Fransokyo, and it'd been ages since he flew in Neverland.
After getting a bit of his wanderlust out of his system, he's been seen around Radiant Garden and Twilight Town. He's still not in one place for very long, but he's been having a blast just hanging out, getting ice cream, helping the Restoration Committee and other just... mundane sorts of things. He knows he and his friends will be needed again soon - he thinks they'll probably always be needed in one form or another. But for now just helping people with their day to day lives has been one of the best things to happen to the keyblade master in a long time.
Got anyone important?:
SORA Riku's best friend. They've been through everything together, and although he can still be a little immature - Sora's come a really long way. He's not just a kid anymore, and while that's sometimes hard for Riku to remember, he's proud of him all the same.
But don't like, tell him he said that or anything. Can't let it get to his already huge head!
KAIRI Riku's other childhood friend. He still cares very much for her, but as they grew up and she wasn't really around - he can't help but admit they've grown somewhat apart. He'd still kill for Kairi - but he and Sora have been through things together that have kept Sora closer to him through the difficult time Riku's had to face.
KING MICKEY Mickey has been one of the weirdest friendships Riku gained, but it means the worlds to him. His Majesty holds a similar role in Riku's life that Sora does. They've been through things together, and been such large players in the darkest moments of Riku's last few years that he can't exactly describe what kind of friends they are to him - he just knows they're important.
NAMINÉ Riku's friendship with Naminé has been - complex, to say the least. Despite their bizarre history however, he's still fond of her. Like Sora, he was determined to help her and Roxas.
How've you been feeling?:
It's been a rough handful of years for Riku, having to find himself amidst the darkness that overtook him as a young teen. It's been steadily getting better though after he reunited with his friends to take down Xemnas and Organization XIII a few years back, and he's really felt like he hit his stride recently. Becoming a Keyblade Master despite once fearing that he wasn't really meant for it, finding a new friend in Mickey and a way he could still help the light.
It... means a lot to him. More than he lets on.
He's still fairly reserved in social settings, but he's softened considerably from his broodier teen days. He's learned the importance, the real importance of friends and looking beyond his own desires. He doesn't even recognize the pushy, arrogant kid that once stood on the shores of Destiny Islands dreaming of other worlds. He does, in a way - he knows it's his past self. He knows that arrogant kid was important into who he is now but - he's appreciative of his growth as a person.
What do you look like?:
I recently cut my hair - the long wasn't a bad look but it kept getting in the way. You couldn't see, or an enemy might grab it - or hell it might even get cut off if you're not careful. I decided the short was a better look.
Lately I've been wearing some special gear made for me by the three good fairies - they're really into plaid this season. Like all of us that got new outfits match in that regard.
They did ask for my input though - and I've never been a fan of sleeves. They feel too restrictive when I i'm moving around. The outfit before this was sleeveless, which I really liked! This one has some short cap sleeves which is fine I guess, but I wouldn't object to the next set of gear returning to form...
Have I missed anything?:
Not sure, have you? I've got nothing else to say.
