To eventually lead his family to a point where they can dig themselves out of the criminal underworld so they no longer have to run from the law. To come clean to his sister about what he did to her fiance.

☞Secrets☜
He killed his sisters fiance because he had reason to believe he was a government mole.

Mild OCD and insomnia.

☞Personality☜
Ric Falcone is a man who is incredibly driven and passionate. He sacrifices much of what most people in his position would savor in order to further his goals of securing a lasting measure of peace and prosperity for his family. He is a man that accepts the bloody reality of his life and what he must do but that doesn't mean he enjoys the violence or the carnage. If he could he would pull his family from the bowls of criminal enterprises into more legitimate business ventures but that is easier said than done. So he works, and he fights, every day to secure lasting long term avenues for his family to thrive off of while slowly weening the Falcone family off illegal venues. Their primary money making avenue is gun trafficking but even in the trafficking of illegal fire arms Ric tries his best to minimize the damage done by his hardware by primarily selling overseas and those state side he does sell to are only the most trusted buyers. His goals are lofty, the hurdles in his path are momentous but his will to overcome is indomitable.

His iron will, his resolve has been tested twice before and twice he's proven he is willing to sacrifice any piece of himself for the end goal, even if that means cutting out cancerous growths within his own family. His first test was his own father. The second was his sisters beloved fiance. Neither killing did he enjoy but both were necessary. Ric did what he had to and to this day while he doesn't take any satisfaction in his actions he doesn't regret them either. Those killings, that blood is on his hands and he bears the weight of those souls with a heavy heart but one that is proven and tempered in the fires of death. It is his love for his family that keeps him going on the days where his demons prove too much. His sister, his twin sister back from the war, his wife, his sister in law and his best friend. Each holding a piece of him and each one keeping him together, should one fail he would crack so he does everything in his power to keep them together and with him.

【Armed And Dangerous...】
“Archery teaches patience, fire arms training teaches the importance of a spare clip.”

---

☞Style☜
As Don he doesn't often have to kill people personally but he does regardless on many occasions. Whether it's a bullet to the back of the head, a knife to the throat or simply snapping someones neck there is one word to describe Ric's style, efficient.

☞Load Out☜
Ric generally has a Sig Sauer p250 tucked away on his person as well as a small tactical knife for close range fighting.

☞Skills☜
Ric read in a book once that 'The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword' well Ric swings a sword better than most. Literally, he's a trained swordsman, martial artist in twelve different styles, skilled archer, knife fighter and proficient with an assortment of fire arms. He spends so much time honing his mind and body in order to protect what he cares for most, his family and as a result Ric has forged himself into a weapon all of his own. Beyond his more dangerous skills Ric is someone who dabbles in meditation. He speaks six different languages besides English including Spanish, Japanese, Italian, German, Russian and Mandarin Chinese.

☞Equipment☜
He is usually driven wherever he needs to go in a Rolls Royce but he does have a street bike he likes to take out from time to time.

☞Weaknesses☜
The nightmares induced from the killings of his father and future brother in law have left Ric with a small measure of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and waking him up from a deep sleep can be unpredictable at best. His love and trust in his family can be used against him. He believes in them and is often unwilling to entertain the idea that any of them could ever mean him harm. It is a central reason why the killings of his father and sisters fiance effected him so, he had to come to grips with the fact that they meant him and the rest of his family harm and therefore needed to be dealt with.

【Rap Sheet...】
“My father had to lose his life so that I could protect this family. I will pay any price to ensure their salvation.”

☞History☜
There was a time, many years ago, where Ric Falcone was not a killer. He was not a gangster or a criminal. He was a little boy, just like a lot of little boys he laughed, and played and lived what many would call a normal albeit exceedingly wealthy life. Privileged was a word used to describe him when he was younger, and rightly so. He and his three siblings grew up in the lap of luxury. He had a younger brother and two younger sisters. They were close, all four of them. Often getting into some kind of trouble in the families mansion. But like in life, playtime has to come to an end eventually, Ric's time came when he was old enough to be told exactly what his family did for a living. They hurt people, they killed them when pain wasn't enough and they did it all to make a profit. They were the most powerful and influential crime family in New York City. A city Ric always thought his family helped build, little did he know it was a city they were helping to destroy. The mission was given to him early, he would be a soldier and earn his stripes and when the time came the crown would be passed down to him, to run the family of crime into the next generation.

Ric stopped playing with his brothers and sisters and went to work early on. Starting out by doing little runs for the made guys or breaking windows in shops that didn't pay their protection. As he got older the jobs got bigger. Fire bombing houses, beating up people to extort payment, knocking over trucks or stores even robbing a few banks. He was on the fast track to getting made, but to do that he would have to take a life. The first person he killed was a rival soldier in the Russian mafia that had shot and killed Ric's younger brother Tony who'd only just recently gotten married. Ric's fathers people captured him and had Ric slice the guys throat. Ric didn't hesitate, even while on the inside he could feel himself fading away and turning into someone else, someone he didn't recognize. The loss of his brother and the killing effected Ric, more than he wanted to admit. He picked up martial arts as a way to relieve stress but it became so much more for him. A way to center himself, to hone his craft and provide an outlet for the new violent tendencies developing inside of him. By the time word came down that he was to be made for the killing he was almost feeling normal again.

After Ric was made his father grew chaotic, illogical and paranoid. He saw enemies everywhere and in his old age he lost the wits that kept him on top for so many years. He began blaming the Yakuza for every misstep they seemed to come across. There were days Ric's father seemed to blame the Yakuza if it rained. They fought endlessly about the Yakuza syndicate, Ric seeing potential allies, his father seeing bitter enemies. The battles culminated when his father decided to send a team of men to attack a Yaukuza meeting. Ric scouted out the meeting personally. It wasn't a meeting at all. It was a birthday party for the leader's ninety six year old mother. The bulk of the people in attendance were civilian family members. The elderly or the very young, only a handful of actual members. His father didn't seem to care and Ric found himself making a decision he never thought he would make. Ric's father went to sleep that night but never woke back up, his heart gave out in the night. To this day Ricky remembers the feeling of the syringe in his hand.

After his fathers death Ric was able to ascend to the top and as Don brokered a new and lasting alliance with the Yakuza. Things have settled down significantly since Ric took over. Earnings are up while body count is way down. The last person Ric had to personally kill was his sisters fiance, another killing that weighs heavy on him but also another one that was necessary. He keeps these secrets from his family for they are his burdens to bear. He hopes that in time, once he gets them out of the criminal world they are mired in he can come clean once and for all, and tell them the truth. Now is not that time, too much is riding on this new alliance for anything to go wrong.
