At a young age Rick became infatuated by antiques and one in particular, a piano, caught his attention. He would often just sit and stare at it, he found all the reading material he possibly could on the instrument, they had not been made in an acoustic form for decades at this point. At this young age he made a promise to himself that he would own such an instrument and this childhood gave him a predisposition towards older, especially pre-colonial, things. When the war broke out between Mars and Earth his home was occupied by the Martian army quickly, their defences were useless against a powerful military. The occupation was brutal, his father and his older brother were forced into the Martian military while Rick, his mother and his younger brother were all transported to Mars and put to work in a titanium mine. By the war’s end Rick was all that was left of his family, this left a deep impression on him and he vowed that he would never be a victim again, no matter the cost. Rick went with many other survivors of the camps to Venus and took part in the early settlement of that planet; he found peace in his new life and became a farmer. When the Second Supremacy War broke out, Rick witnessed his home being fire-bombed and then bombarded from orbit. He barely escaped the initial attacked and spent the following days helping the relief efforts until aid from Earth arrived. Furious at this unprovoked attack he volunteered along with many Venusian settlers to fight against Mars. Venusian volunteer brigades were set up as part of the Earth military and Rick was trained as a fighter/light bomber pilot. He fought throughout the war and saw many conflicts, by the end of the war he was a squadron leader and was fighting on Mars when they surrendered. Rick was disgusted that after the war Earth decided to aid in the rebuilding of Mars instead of Venus, he saw this as a betrayal and never forgave the Earth government for this act. After the war Rick couldn’t face returning to Venus, he could no longer find peace there. He began working as a bounty hunter, then a private detective. He kept on the move and worked cases or bounties wherever he found himself. [/hider]
