Character

Personality: Rico is a humble man. Friendly and down to earth. While he was not a social butterfly in youth he is one now. After a hard days work is the kind of person to invite co workers to have a cold beer at a local hole in the wall. Hard work and honest pay is very much a strong belief in his morals. He does not much like thieves and other people of the shadowy nature and is very vocal about it. To him, law and order is the foundation for a functioning society. Without it there exists only chaos.




Rico is not one to just stand and watch bad things happen. A habit that strangely enough does not bring trouble as he never sticks around to claim praise for his deeds. While he may appear an average hard working Joe Rico does have one quirk that makes him stand out. Food. He eats almost constantly. You will almost never see him without food of some sort in his hand.
Hobbies/ Interests: Country music, plants, food
Job or part time job and description: Works were ever he can get work
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Fears losing control of his mutation and hurting innocents
Special talents: Can play a harmonica pretty good. Eating contests

Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Good. He does not go looking for trouble or fights. But does not turn a blind eye to those in need should he witness it happening.

Mutations

Mutation description:



Rico is a healer and a shifter. Without the first he would not survive the other. His body literally tears itself apart from the inside out when he shifts. What he shifts into dwells in the realm of myth and legends. A giant reptile black in color around the size of a draft horse. A creature resembling a Wyvern from old heraldry. Wings, Tail, and all. While a dragon may first come to mind make no mistake. He cannot breath fire.


Strengths: Saying his bite is wicked would be a understatement. His bite makes some of the worlds known living apex predators look weak. With teeth resembling a fossil t- Rex in shape its easy to understand why. His wings are roughly fifteen feet when fully extended with a single small talon on each joint of the wing. While they are his main means of transport in Wyvern form Rico is quite adept at running on his strong legs at modest speeds of 40 to 45 miles an hour provided he is given enough time to pick up speed. When he does pick up this speed crushing cars he runs across or smashing them aside with his shoulders comes easily enough. Able to pick up a human sized things with anything he can get his clawed feet around. Or in the unlikely case, carry on his back.



His hide like his animal nature is black and foreboding, strong mostly around the chest area, head, and legs. Small caliber bullets bounce off easily but anything carrying more force can breach the natural armor with little trouble. When dragons come to mind one thinks of a creature the size of a house. But in this case Rico is about the size of a draft horse. But as time passes he can grow bigger along with the small curved horns on his head.




Rico's healing while in his human form is not much different then the Wyvern one. Small scratches heal within seconds. More serious injuries such as lacerations, punctures, broken bones, arterial bleeding, and internal hemorrhaging would heal between 50 seconds to minutes depending on the severity. Severed limbs due to the complexity of it would take days to regenerate.


Weaknesses and Limitations:

The healing aspect of Rico's mutation does not come without cost. His body requires lots of energy. He has to eat almost constantly. Failure to eat enough makes him weak. Further lack of food would cause him to go into a coma and eventual death. Rico has not learned how to control himself when he shifts into a Wyvern. You will see that he has lost the light behind his eyes. Everything that made him human. He has become a creature guided by pure instinct. But at times the light returns. Even if briefly. Having not been trained how to control this power Rico will also shift against his will during times of extreme stress or when his life is perceived to be in mortal danger and the self preservation instinct kicks into overdrive. How long Rico can remain in this form changes from time to time. Sometimes hours, other times longer.




Physical Abilities

General Physical Capabilities: Aside from healing. He is like a normal human when not shifted
Fighting Style: Untrained brawler
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: (if applicable)

History Of Your Character

Rico was born in Louisville Kentucky to his 16 year old mother in a trailer park. With her so young he was put up for adoption even though it broke her heart. He was adopted by a couple who could not produce children of there own and taken outside America to live on a island chain in the Caribbean. The people of the island were humble, friendly, and hard working. Rico grew up as one of them. Free from the troubles that consumed the world. For these islands were so small they escaped he hungry eyes of bigger nations. Or they thought the islands were just not worth the trouble.




In any case Rico grew up and had a pretty normal childhood until he turned 16. It happened in the night as he slept. He awoke as naked as the day he was born in a pasture. The eaten remains of a cow not but a stone throw away. It was a secret he would not be able to keep from his parents as there was a hole ripped into the side of his family's home. There was confusion and there was obvious fear. But he was still there child. Blood or not. The family was able to keep the secret as by sheer stroke of luck a earthquake occurred on the ocean floor and homes were damaged all over the islands. Contractors hired to fix the home did not even ask questions. The damage was perceived as done by nature.




Rico learned to live with the hunger that he had, and of the monster within. He controlled it by just pretending it was not there. And in truth it worked very well. He graduated high school like a normal person. Got work on a horse farm. Life was good. But life can be cruel and often is. A strange sickness struck the islands. And it claimed his mother and father along with many others. He tried to keep the pain and suffering inside. But it just exploded and in that night Rico shifted and as the story goes. Devoured those he loved most.




He was American by birth and a citizen. So up out of nowhere he packed a duffle bag and hopped onto a plane to leave the only home he new for a ancestral home he had never been.


Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?: Random chance
Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: No
Sample RP:


The first thing Rico had come to understand since arriving in America was just how alien it was. They did not greet others in friendly "good mornings". And that they were always in a rush and did not talk to strangers. That in itself was a strange notion to Rico. How could anyone make friends if they did not talk to strangers? The food servings in America were also a lot bigger then back home on the islands. This he did not complain about though. For Rico was always hungry.




Mutants seemed to be the thing on everyone's lips. Rico found he could not go anywhere without some talk of it. He had met some of his fellow mutants the first night he arrived when exploring. But that was not a happy thought for him. They mistook him for a human. A easy target. And as it always went in such situations. Rico shifted and devoured the mutants leaving nothing but the bits and pieces he did not like. That was the next hot topic in the city as well.




Rico stood at the display window of a electronics store watching the news anchor on a TV. "They say those two boys that died last night were mutants" Hearing the voice Rico turned to look at a road worker still wearing his reflective vest. "They were not the good kind either" the bearded man added. "Had lots of warrants. Good riddance I say. If there is another mutant running out there eating there kind I'm all for it."






Rico was not exactly sure how to respond. But he had needs and that took priority. "Yeah, I hear you" He said low. "I'm looking for work. Your crew hiring?" The man sized up Rico by looking him up and down before responding. "I don't know. Ever do roadwork before?" Though not feeling his normal happy self today with the dead mutants on his mind he forced a smile. "Yes sir. I'm eager and ready to get my hands dirty again. When can I start" The road worker patted his vest for a minute kicking up dust with each pat. Finally he produced a crumbled card. "First thing tomorrow. This is the supervisor. You show up at this address and ask for him."







Rico took the card and thanked the man. Turning back to the TV on display he listened as the police chief told the citizens not to worry about the strange deaths. That they had a special team skilled in dealing with these things. It was something that gave Rico a real bad feeling.
