Your Character’s Name: Richard “Ricky” Angelo Contadino
Your Character’s Age: 67
Your Character’s Gender: Male
Occupation: Former oil rig worker, now retired
Physical Description (or a picture, if you have an actor image selected):
Ricky is 5”1’ and stout with bald spot on the top of his head of greying hair. He is very suntanned and wrinkled, with small hands and feet. He has greying blue eyes and a large round nose, and a flushed face.
Personality:
Bitter and penny pinching, Ricky is what you might call a modern day Scrooge. He holds the belief that there is always a way to pull yourself out of a hole, so everyone is best off “minding their own g-dd-mn business.”
He is quite egotistical and judgmental, not to mention a self-proclaimed womanizer (though truth be told his luck with women has been so-so), though by now he’s realized he just doesn’t get women.
He is not the most intellectual man and enjoys the simple things in life, confused and sometimes angered by anything he can’t wrap his head around.
Despite his bitter nature, he has been known to strike up an awkward conversation with a random stranger now and again, but not without managing to offend the person he’s talking to.
History:
Ricky’s parents originally lived in Brooklyn, New York with his older sister, Winnie, and moved to Ohio when Ricky’s father found work there at an oil rig. Two years later, when Winnie was about 5, Ricky was born. Ricky scraped by with C’s and D’s in school until he turned 12 where he then worked with his father at the oil rig. His father died of an accident on the job when Ricky was 15 leaving his mother to care for Ricky and Winnie on her own. Just a year later, his mother took her own life, leaving Winnie to care for her younger brother. Due to the grief she felt, she was unable to hold down a job for very long, finding a new one almost every year and so at 19 after injuring his right arm (now without independent movement) on the job, and gaining worker’s compensation, he bought himself a small apartment, leaving Winnie to fend for herself, though they stay in strained contact, mostly because he won’t give her a single dime. Since leaving Winnie he has saved every dollar he could from his job as a mechanic, going into early retirement at 60.
He recently won the lottery (he swears on his mother’s grave it wasn’t something he normally does) which came out to 30 million after taxes, and has decided he will spend it on a trip to France, because France is really the only foreign country he knows anything about.
