Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Silver Blue
Height: 6’ 8’’
Weight: 195lbs
Appearance: Nineteen year old Ricky weighs in at one-hundred and ninety five pounds and stands at a wonderful six foot eight inches. He has short dirty blonde hair but when in the shadows or low light his hair often looks brown. His eyes tend to be light silver with hues of blue. Although depending on the day or the lighting tends to determine which color shows more. Ricky has a simple muscular build that isn’t super defined but defined enough to show that he works out on occasion. His skin is a light olive and generally free of achene. However, due to his reckless behavior he does tend to get cut up often but they don’t scar to bad. But there is one scar that has remained noticeable for a few years and tends to be covered up by his clothing. When he was sixteen he was shot in the chest and after a long battle he managed to survive. During the spring and summer he’ll wear light clothes that consist of simple tee-shirts and shorts. Then during fall and winter he’ll wear pants, a long sleeve thermal shirt, a simple shirt over top and covered by a jacket.

Strengths: Good at tracking, light on his feet, good with a gun, strong swimmer
Weaknesses: Hard-headed, lack of people skills, reckless with actions
Likes: Swimming, toying with people, shooting
Dislikes: Thunder storms, hunters, military, large groups
Personality: Ever since Ricky could move on his own he’s been an adventurer. Always wandering off and getting into trouble of all sorts. As a child it was just simple falls but as he grew older he started pulling pranks and getting himself into dangerous situations. Since he’s always lived outside of the quarantines he learned at a young age to shoot, swim and track. Due to his knowledge of tracking Ricky is always light on his feet unless he’s trying to get the attention of something or someone. However Ricky is a hard-headed teenager who thinks his way is always right. He doesn’t understand that everyone thinks differently and tends to argue a whole lot. Thus he has a hard time dealing with groups and even more so when he’s not the one in charge. He doesn’t even like to take advise or orders from people but will gladly bark out orders which in the end makes him a rather large hypocrite. Due to the lack of involvement in groups Ricky does not have the best people skills and more often than not comes off as an ignorant, stuck up jerk. In all actuality however, Ricky has a rather kind heart and loves to joke around which was one of the biggest issues he had with his family who all took things to seriously. This young man has a crazy fantasy to fall in love with someone; he doesn’t care much about their gender because he is a pansexual. This meaning he loves people based on their own personality. Although with his hard-headed personality and lack of people skills, finding someone to love him is a rather large challenge. Plus living in an apocalyptic world ruled by a life changing fungus does not help any.

Mother: Rachael Finn
Father: Oliver Finn
Siblings: Allison Finn
History: Son of Rachael and Oliver Finn, Richard Allen Finn was born in the spring and is the eldest brother to Allison Finn. His parents had survived alone from the start of the Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis fungus outbreak. They had never planned on having kids once they’d seen what had become of the world. Ricky was an accident. However after his birth his family had settled down in a small suburban town that wasn’t heavily over run by the infected. In the older world it might not have been such a daunting task to raise a child or maybe it was but given the chaotic environment raising a child seemed like an impossible task to his parents. Surprisingly enough Ricky was a quiet baby; he didn’t cry much and really didn’t eat. It seemed as if he wouldn’t survive because of these characteristics and since neither of his parents had medical knowledge they thought there was something wrong with their son. Nothing was however and three years later they had Allison who was the complete opposite of Ricky when it came to food.

At the age of seven Oliver, Ricky’s father, had started to teach his son the basic knowledge to survive. These lessons included tracking, hand to hand combat, gun knowledge, and how to raid camp grounds. It was always a dangerous task to raid someone’s camp. At the age of fourteen Ricky lost his father on a supply run in a quarantine zone taken over by Hunters. That’s when reality seemed to set in. Nobody was every safe and the worst creature alive wasn’t the infected but human beings themselves. It took him two months to return to his mother and sister back in the suburbs he grew up in. They were devastated when learned about Oliver’s death. So Ricky had to set up and become the man of the family. One day a large group of survivors had traveled through his suburbs and settled in. Ricky decided it was unsafe to live there anymore so they picked up their lives and started traveling again.

During their travels Rachael, their mother, had fallen ill and their traveling had to come to an end until she got better. However she never did. She died to an unknown illness when he was fifteen. Then a year later while out hunting with Allison, Ricky was shot by another bandit. His sister had managed to kill his attacker but the odds of him surviving his shot to the chest seemed impossible. Allison being a kind hearted and responsible twelve year old patched him up the best she could. She took care of all the hunting and scavenging while Ricky lay in the bus deport they were calling shelter for the time being. He fought a real bad infection but manage to live with the help of his sister.
