System Information
  • "Bend, never break": He'd never willingly break the law he's supposed to enforce. That doesn't mean, if the reason is good enough, that he might bend it a bit. If following the law to the letter will be a bad thing, he'll probably see what he can do to lessen that, and help those needing the help.
  • "Wait... Did that happen?": Being a relatively private person in some cases, Rick would probably tell some kind of exaggerated story unless it's a person he feels comfortable with. Not really lies, just some very entertaining version of what happened.
  • "The more you run away, the closer you are": The whole reason for him to get rid of everything and leave New York was to run away from the memories there. That didn't really work out that well, as they still keep on haunting him. And those memories are things he usually keeps bottled up inside.
  • "The more I drink...": He is well aware that at times, what he runs away from may make drive him to drink. Most of the times, he'll manage it well, but every now and then, he gets really drunk. And when he does, he often gets a bit weepy, and chatty.

Hazel eyes watch the world with caution, from underneath light brown hair that’s kept carefully short on the top of his head. A nose that seems to be slightly larger than the average fills out more of his facial features, along with pale lips. Ears also seem to be slightly larger than the average. The skin of this man, who looks to be in his twenties somewhere, seems to be lightly tanned.
Athletic, the man stands about six feet tall, with a build that suggests lots of time spent staying in shape. Usually, he’s dressed in the uniform of a GHPD patrol officer when working.
