Trigger warnings: car accident, death, addiction, incarceration, divorce

Richard "Ricky" Lee Thompson was the first born to Don and Nancy Thompson, and lived in East Haven all his life. His sister was born a few years after. His memories of his early childhood were mostly good ones, until he was six and his parents decided to divorce. Being too young to understand the reasons, he just became frustrated and didn't get why his dad had to live somewhere else. He started to exhibit some behavioral problems in school as well as some difficulties reading. After some testing, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, something that made his school years a struggle and deflated his confidence. He would slack off in school and as he got older, his behavior became more alarming.

By thirteen he was hanging around older kids he met at the skate parks who introduced him to cigarettes and alcohol. He was often getting in trouble at school and fighting with his parents. Around this time, he met Matt Wheeler whom he became close friends with. Matt was a more positive influence in his life and introduced him to table top gaming. He would spend a lot of time with Ricky's family. During his early years of high school, Ricky realized that he was bisexual, although he was nervous to tell anyone. After his friend Matt came out, he found it easy to do so himself and they decided to try dating. They remained a couple for a few years, and after they graduated ended up living together. However, Ricky's main interests outside of gaming seemed to be getting high and loaded, which didn't align with what Matt wanted. They eventually broke up, and taking some time apart.

During this time, Ricky moved back in with his mother and tried to work several different jobs but he never had the strongest work ethic. He would end up getting fired or quitting within a few months. After losing several jobs his parents tried to encourage him to go to university and find a career that made him happy. Having always been an animal lover, Ricky decided to try a veterinary program at the university of Newport, living outside of East Haven for the first time. He started in 2017, and his first year he found himself struggling to meet the criteria and just wanted to party instead of taking his studies seriously. That was until he met a young woman named Shayla who pushed him to do better. Eventually they went from close friends to dating. They were together for five months before they decided during spring break to take a road trip with two of their friends to see a concert. On the way there, the unthinkable happened when the driver of the car fell asleep and ended up getting into an accident. Ricky was injured, breaking a few bones and suffering a concussion, but he was the only one who survived the crash because of where he was seated.

The tragedy led him to drink more and use harder drugs. He started using non-prescription pills at parties telling himself that they weren't as harmful as other drugs, but quickly became dependent on them to escape reality. He lost touch with a lot of his friends and the people he hung around with were shady and had ill intentions. Some of his new friends ended up hiring Ricky to help them deal drugs by delivering them. On the surface things in his life seemed perfectly fine to him. He was having fun and making money but the party came to an end one night when he was pulled over for speeding. The police searched his car and found large quantities of pills. He was arrested, but fearing the disappointment of his parent, he opted not to tell them. Instead they were left frantic for several days thinking he had gone missing. When they found out, he had already been sentenced to ten months in prison. His parents decided it would be best if he served his time and learned something that might prevent him from going back to his dangerous lifestyle.

In June of 2022, Ricky was released a few months early on good behavior. Although he was hurt by their decision to not help him out, Ricky saw how much his actions had hurt those around him and made the decision to stay clean. He was able to get a job through his friend Matt at Critical Roll, which was owned by their favorite teacher in high school. A few months later, while playing and online game, Ricky met a girl named Nicole who streamed as well and happened to live in his town. They hit it off, despite some bickering over the game, and decided to meet in person. They have been close ever since and Ricky also started spending more time with Matt again. Although he realized they may have been better off as friends, he was always someone who kept him grounded. Ricky is currently still living with his mom while working at Critical Roll and attempting to grow his Twitch following to stream more professionally.
