Ricardo Vittore

Created by Gris Lee

The youngest son of the Vittore family mafia, Ricardo was born and raised in Gehenna. But, he got to experience his heritage in his upbringing, surrounded by Italian culture and tradition. He was trained in music, etiquette and combat much like his elder brother, and eventual adopted sibling Solitaire. However, ever since Vitale became the head of the family in his teens, Ricardo feels like he's living in his brother's shadow. Despite his own talents, Ricardo has spiralled over the years. His obsession with the white lighter myth is infamous in Gehenna. On the other hand, his extravagant parties are widely renowned. That, combined with his reckless behaviour, has earned Ricardo quite a problem child reputation in the city. It's still not wise to come for Ricardo though. Being a mafia son, he's still quite dangerous and willing to follow through with his duties as the current heir to the title.

Personality

Ricardo has a public reputation as a 'problem child', with a penchant for reckless behaviour. Ricardo can be charismatic if he wants though. When he's not being antisocial, he's actually quite the life of the party. He goes hard, using his vast wealth to please the crowd. He's also know for being a bit of a player like his brother, consistently flirting with women. His sense of restraint is far gone from what is expected of him.

However, this attitude is a mask for Ricardo's inner pain. Suffering from depression and anxiety, he's spent his life resenting his brother's position. He feels forgotten and alone, with no real purpose in life, starving for attention. His desperation has gotten to the point where Ricardo now idolises the celebrities of the infamous '27 club'. He has resolved that the only way he'll be remembered is to go the same way. It goes as far as Ricardo carrying around a white lighter as a reminder.

In the meantime, he drown outs these sorrows with self destructive hobbies like drinking, smoking and street brawling.

Ricardo is not without actual talent though. His diamond ability is regarded as one of the most powerful. As is family tradition, he has classical training in singing. When they aren't fighting, he performs at Acerbi's with his brother. His voice is one of the only things he likes about himself. He's also got his own snobby qualities. A lover of old fashioned versions of things, as opposed to the high tech of the modern day. Ricardo especially carries himself like a Hollywood superstar would.
