I’ve been working on Ricks character for the wiki and would like to get some feedback…
Rick is a fanatic believing that the virus was a culling of the human species and fully supports it as part of natural selection. Rick is naturally immune and never even got sick from the virus like the others who survived. Because of this he feels that he was spared the sickness and selected to be the one to lead humanity to a better way of life, a life where everyone works for the greater good and everyone is happy, a life where Rick rules and everyone else follows. Those who don’t follow must be converted or dealt with accordingly.
Rick is fully against Sky Medix and everything it stands for. It is very possible that he took part in attacks on Sky Medix and other medical facilities during the outbreak in their (successful) attempt to stop the distribution of the vaccine. He believes that people should not interfere with nature and its process of natural selection.
Rick see’s people as a plague upon this planet and believes that the virus was sent by nature to rid itself from this plague. He believes that people destroy the planet with little more than a sideways glance at the destruction they leave in their wake at the expense of a better more comfortable life. Rick believes people lived a life where they had become lazy and complacent, a life where they had come to expect everything to be handed to them with little or no effort given on their part.
Rick shuns most modern conveniences and prefers to live a simple life, one closer to nature. He believes that things like food, shelter, clothing and a sense of wellbeing are the rewards for hard work and perseverance. He believes everyone should work hard for what they need and shun personal comforts beyond what he believes is necessary or acceptable. Rick is fanatical about his beliefs and wants to force his way of life on everyone. He believes his vision of the future is the right direction for the human race and he will stop at nothing to make sure his ideals prevail and are adapted by all even if this must be done by force and/or imprisonment of “non-believers”.
Even though he’s not much of a public speaker, Rick has a growing base of followers and presents himself as a guiding light to his people; a figurehead to show everyone the error of their ways and lead them to the “one true” belief system, a system he believes has been provided by nature.
Rick has started hand picking some of his most loyal followers as his lieutenants. His lieutenants will start training his other followers and help lead them to the final culling of the weak and the non-believers.
What do you guys think?
Does this sound too cliché?
Too religious fanatic?
Too over done?
Thoughts?
