Bio:
Growing up wealthy and pampered in Uptown with merchant parents, Riptide got a twisted view of life when he discovered movies. Well, actually novelizations of movies from the past. Through reading various stories of heroes rising up against all odds and saving the day, against greedy corporations or corrupt officials most of the time, he started to believe that he and his parents were the villains in the world. So one day, without a second thought, Riptide hijacked a Guild vehicle, and went out to the world to try to fight the good fight in life. As he learned quickly, the world wasn't Black and White as he thought, and he was almost killed within the first week. Luckily, he found a steady living from working as a mechanic's assistant in [whatever place any main characters are going to be next]. As of the events of this story, he has been working there for 8 months.

Personality: Riptide always tries to have a positive view of the world, though this starts to diminish as he spends more time in this crapsack world. He still tries to treat life like a movie though, trying to find a good guy and bad guy in every situation. If he spots a glimmer of good in anyone, he will fight for and beside them for what they believe in, even if he is not sure if it is what he actually believes in. This makes him seem pretty gullible, but he is not easily tricked by those he sees as villains. He tries to act like the action movie heroes in his movie novelizations, chivalrous and badass. He has the chivalrous part down pretty well, but his badass one liners could use some work.
