[mikey-stardust-way]

Ah! Max and Will have a son?! Tell me all about him. And he's friends with the Frog brothers?! Oh the conflict that is bound to arise from that.

Soooo~ there's this literal 12 year old vampire that drives Max crazy because that's his daaaad~ Named Ricky!

Richard F. Lawrence-Stineaure, self named "Ricky" and NO..You cannot called him Dick! He will get extramly angry about it! Call him Ricky if anything! He also gets called Ritch/Ritchie by some and also accepts that.

Rickey is very average! He ages a hell of a lot slower than other kids his age, a cure of being a born vampire they tend to age very slowly. So while mentally he's at about 17- even 20 on a good day! He's still very much physically a 12 year old, and doesn't always know how to act his age. He's either acting very mature and quiet, or being the most unhinged child known to anyone on the Santa Carla Boardwalk..

Max adores him! He looks like Max when he was a child, except he has Will's curly hair, with a pair of blueish green eyes.

He- much like his father likes to wear stuff to cover his neck! But unlike his father Will- he never got his neck injured- his arm and had is however! Holy water accident, he tells everyone he caught on fire in a very disturbing but believable story. (He has also caught on fire once and Max almost died for a second time..Ricky was fine just scared to the point of crying)

He loves military things! The irony being both his dad's snuck around the military a few times and swindled or stole things from the less than savory soldiers- so he has quite the chest of goodies he's free to wear or use.

He's often seen in a long army parka that he added flags, patches, and pins too(taking a lot of inspiration from his adopted brothers and others on the boardwalk) with some sort of pants often boot cut or bell bottom jeans(often fixed wirh patches or fabric, the bottoms also decorsted wirh fabric)

Sole old boots, and some sort of turtleneck (unless it's super hot out hell sacrifice his sanity) and a tshirt! He has both of his ears pirced- and is often seen with wild and fun earrings often changing them daily or weekly depending on the type. He has old war medals and movie promo/music related pins, as well as others. He also wears white gold rings. (The colour is similar to silver)

(not shown- but he also wears rollarskates and that's how he gets around and has a backpack) He also almost always wears fun tinted sunglasses, the irony here being he can't see/read without his real glasses so he tend to have a pair around his neck, or begged to modify a pair of glasses to also hold his sunglasses(he can lift the lenses up to see better).

A drawing for reference! (This was mentally to be a quick sketch.....and contrary to belive NO...THIS ISNT ME...THIS IS RICKY-)

He has very light hair and skin- due to well a mix of Max and Will sure, but also unlike his dad's he never really got a chance to go outside ever so his hair never got to darken up and he never got to tan or get colour realky...best your getting is red cheeks and such from the guy..

He can read/see fine! Just everything is hazy and he genuinely...cannot read without them.

He's a massive British music fan(Max and them lived there for a long time before coming here so he always yerns for the cournty- europeanan baby) so anytime he finds a cassette of a British band he snags it.

He was born in England fitting enough, back in the later 1940s, and its taken him this long to turn 12 about..Due to an...incident involving a massive fight with his parents he hasn't seen will since the 50s outside of Germany. He was told he left for work and is still dealing with said work.

While also being called a literal 12 year old- he's closer to about 13-14 it's just...he's kinda short-(hence the small boots) and extramly young looking. He looks about Sam's age which is...13 maybe? But super young still, not very old.

He doesn't know the Emerson yet- but he knows the frog brothers! He loves tormenting them- you can tell Ricky to "Fuck Off" and he'll come back the next day more annoying and with a vengance- a death wish if you will.(you think the lost boys are feral? Piss this little guy off when he's not eaten yet...most unhinged thing ever)

He loves Alan more than Edgar- they're both fun, but he and Alan talk about mkre..Fun stuff like other paranormal things, cryptic stuff, UFOs and his faviort- War history...none of which Edgsr likes to amusing, being entirely to focused on the shop and vampires.

"Your lame as ever for that- get a hobby eggy.."

"Shut up- if I wanted advice from a hippie I'd go talk to my parents.."

He gets compared to quote Max, "Son you look like if s Vietnam war vertical came back as a hippie obsessed with Britain who lied about his age and is 12..."

"YAAY THANKS!!"

You cannot insult him- the earrings don't go with the clothes? "It's fashion~"

He's 100% Will's child no doubt about it for a number of reasons, but especially the more...eccentric and wild fashion. Sure he's go to look is real plane, but he can look like a weird British new waver.

Contrary to what popular opinions state- it is possible altho extramly rare for vampires let alone those born as them- to get sick...Except with Ricky- Ricky got sick as a small child dur to the holy water accident and lack of sbilty to people and imidslty tend to him with some other issues, so he is now forever having slight problems.

Namly- Weezing, coughing fits at times, voice mess ups(he sounds horrible when he first wakes up) a stiffness he can't always shake, and pure exhustion, among others.

He freaked the frogs out because he coughed up blood and they thought he had the plague- it was his meal he half coughed half gaged up on them- but he has genuinly coughed up blood and fainted so Max sends his ass to bed imidiatly and takes the day off to tend to him.

He's also very "Foggy minded" and tends to forget things Max says it's due to trying to remember everytjing- but Ricky is pretty sure there's something wrong with his head and body since he feels out of place and really weird sometimes- max can tell him all day it's the affects of being s vampire- but he's pretty sure it's something else since max can remember the exact date he turned and other things, while Ricky has to write stuff down and take a few minutes just to remember a year ago let alone last month or week- don't even ask him what all happened in a movie he watched last night or something.

He does a lot of art and DIY like his brothers, and likes to hold onto their bikes/attach a hook to a rope and get towed aeound by one of them while on his skates. Nsmly Dwayne or David. Marko is...not the slowest nither is Paul- he mostly likes Dwayne for bike things, but clings to David and Marko like no tomrrow.

Marko has changed heavily through the years though, so he doesn't always like him. David? Same as yesteday- just diffrent clothes to zricky so he loves him.

He talks a lot- another reason he enjoys Alan, the guy listens even if he doesn't give input he listens unlike Edgar who witches about it.

While you can't insult him fashion wise or hobby wise, if you say the wrong words in the wrong tone it'll break him. He either has the temperature of a hell hound out for blood, or the tears of a broken hearted soldier wailing in the trenches there is LITTLE in between.

It deepens on the person as well. Friends or family? He cries, he takes it personal of cource. Strangers on the boardwalk? He snaps back or ignored them- they permit and bully him? Push him? He bites them or shoves them so hard they fall. Despite his size he packs a hell of a punch. (He's holding in a lot of anger towards Max and no one will play fight with him so he has a LOT of energy and stuff pent up and loves taking it out of assholes on the boardwalk)

Once Edgar shoved him and Alan had to pin Ricky down because he just tried to go after Edgar like a hunting dog after it's prize- Max showed up, apologized saying Ricky was going through a "Real tough time recently" and he wasn't seen for like two weeks..

Max tries to get onto him, or see into his mind only to often find he has wild scenarios playing, memories, or music playing so it's hard to get him to listen when he quite literally tunes you out to replay a movie in his mind.

"Richard! Stop playing the Musketeers and listen to me!"

"*(puts on music instead)* yeah sure- yes sirrr whatcha got~?"

"....Nevermind well try this again tomrrow.."

Its very..hard rasing Ricky, its the biggest regret having will go off since Ricky had the temperament of Max and Will combined which is the worst combination known to anyone. A feral odd happy go lucky yet blood thrusts unhinged extramly old child vampire? Worst thing ever...

He often eats from blood bags- but as stated has feed off humans before it's just so..so messy- he ruins a LOT of clothes when he does that.

Max worries thst there's something Ricky won't tell him, and somthing hsppend in the meny years he's been around, but he can't ever tell what if anything happened traumatic wise outside of the holy water incident and will going away. (Max sent him way- "Sent"...)

Ricky loves his dad's, and loves Max! A lot!! But he learned to see in his mind and has been bitter ever since he could do that. Not just with max with everyone he can't always control his powers and such so it leads to breakdowns and broken things. He just gets overhwlmed- extramly easily.

Dispute the fact he's never been in the Vietnam war and wasn't even thst old when it happend- and wasn't even alive during most others- he is very obsessed with it- and the twlivation of it and the whole everything of it all.

"You worry me- your always into that 60s and 70s hippie nonsence- and then you love those awful films about this decades big city drug culture! Why do you even like that stuff!?"

"I just find it fascinating!!! I'm not like Paul or somone who's gonna do it!"

"Well i sure as he'll hope not young man! Your entirely to young for those things! And they're not good even for vampires..."

He gets lonely easily- and curious easily, his mind wanders a thousand places.

"..You should make a sci-fi book that's illustrated.."

"No one would read that Alan-"

"..I mean I would, I like your rambles and ideas and art...got your card still with the cool art.."

"..Thanks Alan, your real sweet you know that?"

He has problems of cource, and ruffles people's heads, he's an "Old Soul" but he's just s real confused frightened lost and overwhelmed young kid still who worries about the future and wants to go see that fun new movie and watch his TV programs and go see a band concert- he just wants his dad back but doesn't know where he is and gets scared that he's in Russia because he heard(read his mind) thst max had him in Russia on the other wise of ther Berlin wall and he's terrfied on if he's still alive and with thst terror came a fight with Max once where he bit the ever loving shit out of his arm and was like the most frightened and feral, petrified animal known to man, and despite bleeding and having s fruit ruined by his son- and getting bitten some more- he sat on the floor and held him, reassuring him thst Will was fine and that he'd be back one day.

It was like...two months but it was infact one day- and at first Ricky jumped with joy and wouldn't stop clinging to will- then vanished around him a lot, then clung to him, this repated sevral times over the next few weeks before he was okey enough to be around him consistently all the time and alright with leaving him alone for other things.

More fun notes from myself: I need to make a better thing for him! And fix up Will soon...and also make Will his own character thing-
