Story
Rick is a member of a Native American tribe that lives in the outskirts of Southtown. Rick's people have seen the city of Southtown grow from afar, and have never meddled in the city's progress, as they knew that Southtown was filled with lots of criminals and evildoers. But this didn't hold back Rick, who far from ignoring the situation, decided to train himself to one day tackle the fighters in Southtown head on.

Rick's strength lies not only in his spiritual belief, but also in his fists, which he has trained and built enough to develop a crushing series of blows that would easily take out any opponent in a swift motion. Despite the warnings of his superiors, Rick was not ready to let go the chance of some day fighting the best in Southtown. Every now and then, Rick takes a trip into Southtown to challenge all those who are willing to face his crazy fists. Inspired by the sense of self-improvement, Rick has slowly earned a name for himself in Southtown. He hopes that someday the right opponent will stand against him and challenge his amazing skills in a true fight.

Personality
Although rowdy and maybe not too proper, Rick has a heart of honor, and respects the code of the warrior. He gets excited when he faces a worthy opponent, and gets incredibly disappointed when they are weak. Rick doesn't follow the strict code of his tribe to stay away from foreigners, which has allowed him to meet new and interesting people.
