Rich is the truest example of a player, he can sweet talk anyone be female or male into anything. A sparkling smile and confidence that just oozes off him, that’s what makes him so attractive as a late night radio DJ. He is sweet for all his player attributes, he never goes to bed with a girl without her knowing that he isn’t in it for the long run, when he does want to actually date a girl he wont cheat on her and will but her gifts. Rich likes to shower his girlfriends in gifts as to prove that they are his, even if it is temporary. Even though he is charismatic and for the most part really sweet he still has a bad time dealing with rejection when it happens, which it does.
He has been called pig headed sense he was a child, he refuses to give up when he wants something and unless it deals with a woman doesn’t take no as an answer. He gets angry easily, and through the years have lost friends and girlfriends because he gets so angry with them. Even though he has lost so many it has left him with a few but really good friends who can rely on him no matter what and that he can rely on. Rich refuses to associate with guys or girls who cheat on their significant others, more than once he has outted them in front of their gfs/bfs just because he hates seeing good people hurt.
Rich is almost overly attached to his family and is blind to the bad that they do, and when he has to face the fact that his family is in the wrong he makes excuses for them. His baby sister, for all her faults, is one person he will stand up for all the time and will argue to the ends of the earth that whatever she is in trouble for isn’t her fault.
Richard was born in New York, New York to his high society family, he wasn’t really raised by his parents for they were always out making appearances that bettered them but when his younger sister Rebecca came along his family got closer as a unit. He was always known as the rebel child, mostly because he had to be wilder than his baby sister so whatever she did was tame in comparison but his parent never cared because they loved him and Becca anyways. When he was sixteen he was invited to a party by his friends but he had to go to a play with his parents, wanting desperately to go to both he split into two different hims. Scared he touched the other him only to absorb it and was able to see and feel what the other him felt. It amazed him and he tried to split again, it worked and he went to both the play and party.
It was several years later and he was out of town with friends for spring break when he got a call from his parents, his sister was missing so he split into four other hims and had three of the others and the original him go searching for his sister while one of the duplicates stayed and partied with his friends. For three days while searching for his sister he was really sick but he decided it was worth it when one of the other hims found his sister and called him. While that one took her home he and the others met up so he could absorb them. He doesn’t know why he is the way he is but he has learned that he cant do more then four other hims without getting too sick and passing out which will make the others dissipate. All in all it has worked out well for him, somehow he heard about Starlight and he applied for an apartment. His lived there sense.
