Personality

Ricardo, or "Ricky" as some people call him, lives by the gun and for all intents and purposes, will die by the gun. No one can say that he's misunderstood, or that he really intends to do good in the world. He'll kidnap women and ransom them back to their families or he'll even skip that and simply sell them to crooked landowners as slaves. He'll rob banks and knock over caravans but he isn't after material possessions, he simply enjoys what he does. Despite all of his wrongdoing, he has no problems recruiting others to help in with a job. He gains petty criminals by offering huge amounts of money when he feels like robbing a bank, or he'll offer revenge against lawmen when he is bored and wants to shoot up a saloon. He always comes of as a benevolent leader to his subordinates but he is actually quite cold blooded towards them. He will teach them to read, but he won't hesitate to burn out their eyes with a lit piece of firewood. He will teach them to write, but he actually finds it funny to force them to raise their hands up so he can shoot off their fingers. It's not that he doesn't have a moral compass, it's just always pointing in the other direction. He calls his revolver his faithful companion, but his real pride and joy is his Winchester Repeater. He is quite a marksman with that rifle, able to hit a target up to 400 feet away.

History

Ricardo grew up on a small ranch along the Texas border. This was all taken away from him, however, when some rich northerners came and attempted to take the land away from his father. He resisted every possible way, blocking every legal attempt the men made. Eventually, the men gave up playing nice and simply put a bullet in Ricky's father's head. They quickly turned their attention to his mother and threatened to do the same to Ricky if she did not hand over the land. For the safety of her son she did as she was told. In was in these moments that Ricky learned the truth of the times, law had no place in this savage land. Only those who were willing to pull the trigger were going to survive. Although he was still young, he soon left his grieving mother behind and started his life as a petty criminal. He caught up with his first gang a couple of years later. Along with the others, 5 in total, Ricky robbed his first bank which resulted in him shooting and killing a deputy that was pursuing them. A huge rush came over him during the entire getaway, and in his moment of nirvana he pulled out his revolver and killed the other members as they sat around the campfire counting their shares of the money. This moment helped him define himself. He was nobody, yet everyone knew of him.
