1949. Since Riki was never a merchant, he didn't have a lot of firsthand expirience with Homs curse words until he joined the main group. Everyone draws straws to decide who had to explain swears to Riki whenever he learned new ones and whenever it happens, they all become acutely aware that they are in fact traveling with a middle aged father.
1924. Riki not only adopted Shulk, But Reyn as well
1921. Based on 1918, Riki asked Alvis if he'd be willing to be friends, Alvis said no. When Riki asked why, Alvis told him that he already used his one straight answer.
1892. "The party plays Overwatch" headcanons
Shulk’s that guy who likes to pick Bastion and Torbjörn no matter the situation, which actually doesn’t go badly most of the time because he won’t play the game if Reyn isn’t there. If he recognizes something else has to be done, he will most likely go Genji, which is too bad because he’s average at best with him.
Reyn instalocks Reinhardt at the start of every game and can’t be told otherwise. To be fair, he’s pretty good with him, although his trash-talking is just insufferable. Sometimes he can be convinced to change to Zarya in certain situations.
Fiora has way too much fun playing Tracer and Reaper, often responding to their quips and taunting after successful ultimates. She also plays D.va unironically (and keeps forgetting why the others think it’s funny).
Sharla strongly gravitates towards Ana and Widowmaker (for obvious reasons). Her third option is McCree, which the others found a bit surprising until she demonstrated how she basically played him like a sniper too.
Riki just Winstons everywhere; it’s impossible to know where he’s going next or why. Oddly enough, he also plays Pharah and Junkrat for similar reasons; his favourite thing to do is taunt people that he catches in a trap or knocks off the edge. Has all the legendary skins.
Melia has yet to find a preferred character, though she does feel most comfortable with Lúcio, Mercy, and Zenyatta. She also occasionally plays Mei and Symmetra, and secretly has an inordinate amount of fun with Roadhog.
Dunban couldn’t play even if he wanted to, but he does keep up with the lore and such. Has cried at least once during every animated short.

1849. Having more than 10 children is not uncommon for Nopon. In fact, Riki's family is considered averaged size. This is due to the fact many of the young Nopon end up being eaten be the fauna of Makna. Most families are lucky if more than 3 of their children reach adulthood.

1791. People with very strong ether affinity can sense that something about Dickson is not quite right, though exactly what is difficult to put into words. Riki believes that he "is very very very much older than he looks", while Melia can feel "an alien resonance I have seen of no other species of this world". The rest of the party assured them that the weird feelings would go away once they learned to trust him.
1776. Riki always kept bugging Corrin to help train for any Dinobeasts. The moment they agreed, it turned out that their spars were extremely fun!
1772. Riki is very sensitive to the emotions of others. He was always there to comfort others. Although he denies when it's brought up outside of Melia, at least everyone at some point has end up with Riki in their arms, although Fiora finds herself unintentionally squeezing him in times of stress. Riki actually quite likes cuddling with Shulk, and vice versa. Everyone agrees Riki's fur is extremely soft and pleasing.
