Riuva : Research Institute for Unicultural Visual Arts

In a week, I chance upon Ascaloth not once, but twice. I highly suspect that he’s the henchman of Tjhan for he constantly reminded me that I haven’t been writing an article for a long time. On reflection, indeed, it has been some time since I’ve posted an article, must have been school! The lecturers came together to form an alliance and flood me with tough to complete assignments and never ending tests. Oh wait, I shouldn’t blame my mismanagement of time on the lecturers, I should blame the anime industry instead. Where’s ‘my type’ of anime? What’s happening? Maybe I should just narrow the scoop and put the blame on Claymore. Damn, a chapter a month, I’m bored to death.

Personal note - I’m still waiting for this month’s issue of Claymore.

While passing my time, I came up with a 100% innovative idea to keep myself occupied. Maybe I should tag a specific Claymore character to each of the writers in RIUVA. Also, this would be a good way to stop that nasty Ascaloth’s tongue from wagging for a while. If I’m to tag a specific Claymore character to a write in RIUVA, who and what are the reasons for me choosing so?

• Teresa of the Faint Smile

Tjhan of the Faint Smile
He’s my boss! He’ll obviously deserve the most awesome Claymore character spot out there. Tjhan is just like Teresa, powerful, charming and kind. His pen power is without doubt one of the best around, just like how powerful Teresa’s Claymore power is in the Claymore world. If you’re to ask me, Teresa’s mistake is to take in Clare. Tjhan’s mistake is to take us in, the co-writes, as we’re engaged in an article to article battle to pen each other to death. The various conflicts and confrontations, one can almost see Tjhan smiling faintly just like what Teresa did.

• Raphaela

Crest the Cave Dweller
Crest for many reasons remind me of the almighty Raphaela. Raphaela is powerful, does not show off and she hid in the cave for a certain period. Crest has a habit of not posting  just like how Raphaela hid in a cave during Teresa’s generation. When Crest posts, he’ll bring you to tears with his wonderful vocabulary and lengthy article. His pen power is equivalent to Raphaela’s Claymore power.

• Phantom Miria

Phantom LianYL
I’m proud to present RIUVA’s very own version of Phantom Miria. Behold RIUVA’s very own Phantom LianYL. With pen speed that no co-writers could match, LianYL’s innovative stick man figures articles were published at a speed that no one could match, just like how speedy Phantom Miria moves in Claymore.

• Raki

Kokanaden the Emo
It was actually the most difficult to tag fellow co-writer, Kokanaden, with a Claymore character for I know little of him. Unfortunately, the "helpful" Ascaloth suggested Raki to me. Reflecting, I’ve many a times heard many unnamed rumors that Kokanaden was a very emotional and nice guy. Concluding, Raki would be the best bet out there for he’s the most emo in the Claymore series, constantly wiping and providing emotional support to Clare, just like how Kokanaden brings emotional support to the RIUVA staff.

• Helen

Ascaloth the Instigator
The troublemaker in RIUVA and the one who’s always trying to instigate an internal conflict among co-writers. Not only that, Ascaloth hobby is to pick a fight with writers from other sites too. It’s to my regret to present you with RIUVA’s very own version of a trouble-maker Helen; "Ascaloth the Instigator". Constantly picking and attacking others with unnecessary comments has become his natural habit and a word battle would soon ensue. Miraculously, Ascaloth won’t realize that he’s in deep waters until his carcass hits the sea bed. Which other Claymore character, except Helen, is capable of such provocative acts?

Here’s a question posed to all, which Claymore character would you tag me with?
