Rikki was born in the suburbs of Florida. His parent's were rich business owners and fought constantly because of the affairs mostly dealing with his mother cheating on his biological father. This caused horrendous fights between his parents that Rikki didn't really understand but it caused him to be socially withdrawn in school and barely made friends. He was usually teased and regularly bulled and sometimes even beaten. He'd come home with scuffed knees, bloody knuckles when he'd fight back, and one time he got a black eye. He remembered his mother actually taking time to act like a real parent but her attempts to push his claims through the school system failed and he became an outcast. He eventually got used to it and stayed locked up in his room when he wasn't in school with his posters, games, and acoustic guitar he taught himself to play. He eventually began writing his own songs and made friends with other outsiders in his school which he soon formed a band with. He was the lead singer and guitar player and they performed in his garage. The neighborhood loved his concerts and he actually felt alive but his parents hated the racket and pushed his flunking grades down his throat and stopped his concerts, crippling his only light in his dim world. Rikki began to develop habits of self harm along the lines of cutting his wrists and wearing bandana's around them to hide his cuts from his parents and what little friends he still had after his band fell apart. Then, not long after that his parents had a horrible fight when his father found out his mother confessed she was cheating on him but he'd been sleeping with his secretary just as Michell's has suspected. They both wanted and got a divorce but the damage had already been done. Rikki didn't have much of a family but when he heard it was falling apart officially he was completely destroyed and blamed himself as the cause of their divorce. He ran up to his room and locked everyone out in a heap of teenage hormonal imbalance's and attempted suicide for the first time using his pockets knife to plunge it through his own throat as tears ran down his face, hidden inside his closet. He'd been fifteen at the time and was in the 10th grade, flunking every class he had. When he turned sixteen he dropped out and dealt with his mother on a daily basis who wound up remarrying and the man had a son. Rikki hated the fact she remarried but did develop some relationship with his step brother that helped his wounded life some. Even though he lived with his mother he was very independent and took any job he could get, busting tables, street performing, skateboarding competitions or surfing competitions. He just wanted out and when he eighteen he walked out and never looked back, not even telling anyone goodbye. He packed and vanished which left his mother devastated.
Rikki got himself an apartment and was working two to three jobs at a time before one day on his way from being laid off from his last job. He was knocked off his skateboard by a Great Dane that belonged to a incredibly attractive girl named Bella. They soon began to date and he got wind of how her family was crippling her life like his had been. He asked her to run away with him to California where they had a pre-mature beginning because his music career wound up taking off at an unbelievable speed which took his attention and time off Bella, leaving her feeling even more abandoned than before. They began to fight and all the stress got to Rikki which caused him to start smoking and that ultimately broke them apart one evening when Bella blew her edge. Bella left Rikki and this completely turned the pop-stars world upside down and sent it up in flames. Rikki was heart broken and devastated but he left California and moved to Hollywood to mend his broken heart with fame and fortune. Then, one night at a party he met a deadly woman named Jessica. From that night forward, Rikki began a terrible repetitive habit of throwing his life away down a darkening widening hole of no return he barely escaped. Jessica flirted, seduced, and spiked Rikki's drink with a classic date rape drug and bagged the Hollywood star in the club they met. He woke up dazed, naked, and confused only to find the red haired snake smiling at him with the crime she'd committed. Rikki was too high to realize he'd been drugged and technically raped. However, once his head cleared up the event was wiped from his mind thanks to his unhealthy obsession with weed that kept him in a haze that he wasn't living a life he hated, dating a girl he wanted to be Bella, and lying to himself that he wasn't suffering and wishing he'd just drop dead. Rikki messed with many other narcotics that he easily got his hands on in the upper social class world of Hollywood. One of his heavily abused drugs were sleeping pills that he'd constantly think about purposefully overdosing on several times but never acted upon it since Jessica controlled him and ate his money for every meal and gift she got herself.
Rikki's life was dwindling by a tread day by day until one afternoon he went to the studio and sent Jessica out with a wad of cash to get her away from him so he could be alone. He didn't go to the study to record he went there to contemplate his life and while he took a smoke break on the twentieth story of the building. He was leaning up against the wall and blankly staring at the edge of the cement siding. His life in the lime light was nothing but a hoax. He was falling into a pit with no return and Bella was gone. The girl he'd run away with only to abandon when she needed him most. That's when the super star attempted suicide for the second time in his life. He flicked his cigarette to the side and started to walk towards the edge he'd been staring at as if he were psyching himself up it would all be over in mere seconds. He then began to run and just as he came to the edge he jumped up only to crash down into the railing and crippled into a heap of emotional implosion for the second time of his life, but this hurt way worse. He cried for literally hours and didn't come home until late and he was cold to Jessica who let him be for a change.
Then, two months after his attempted suicide a miracle happened. Bella crossed paths with him and he didn't realize the guy she was with happened to be Taylor her abusive ex until he saw her lip and brow busted. It clicked but he couldn't do anything about it. Until, one evening Bella was lurking around his studio in search for Jessica when she wound up running into Rikki who was cold and nasty towards her before they showed each other their broken bleeding hearts. Rikki took a shot in the dark and kissed her after all that time and the broken wounded river of their love came flooding back with painful need. After that, Rikki and Bella secretly saw each other behind their partner's backs only to realize their partners were cheating on them as well which was no surprise to either of them. Rikki then begged Bella to run away him to California. She agreed and they jumped into action only for Rikki's prolonged drug abuse to collapse his right lung in their attempt to get away. He was hospitalized and as soon as he was stable they escaped to their dream home that was a beach house right up on the beach. They began to live out peaceful life before Jessica walked back into his life claiming that he was the farther of her child. Rikki knew she was lying and went along with the DNA tests only for Jessica to set them up and falsely frame him as the father that put a split between he and Bella's relationship for only a short time before he found out the results she had were frauds. Jessica was sent packing with her son and Rikki and Bella returned to their life together only to turn right around and have a pregnancy scare when they vacationed out to the mountains. This put a severe pinch in their relationship since they held different options on the options they had but Bella around up having a miss carriage that left worry in the back of Rikki's mind as well as unanswered question before he let it go.
After that trial Rikki returned back to his music career but he did it gradually by starting a job in a music shack in town before his boss asked him to do a small concert in the down town football stadium which was nothing small. He agreed right away and wound up being fearful when he brought it to Bella that night since it had been the thing to tare them apart in the past. Bella surprised him by telling him her guilt about cramping his passion for it told him she stood behind him now. This change in their relationship allowed them to grow and his career took a much brighter and happier light. Rikki's career glowed and his fame stretched farther than it had previously. It wasn't long before Rikki felt it was time to take their relationship to a greater depth. Marriage, but he chose to propose to her during a special concert that he got the crowd involved with once he called her up onto the stage and dropped down onto his knee presenting the ring while a large screen behind them shared their pasts moments captured. She said yes and he quickly took his woman away into the night and left the crowd far behind as they escaped into their passionate ways that night. It didn't take long for their big day to come either for Rikki's finances and name was easily brought to the top of lists thanks to his fame and determination combined. Rikki would never forget the way she looked, the vows they shared, and the kiss they sealed it with only to run away together once more to their home town and old apartment for their honeymoon that had been Bella's wishes that he gladly gave life to. Not long after their marriage Rikki decided to take Bella to a ranch and give her the choice of any barrel horse she desired. They adopted a blue roan gelding that he named Smoking Gun a.k.a. Smokey. Soon, he began to travel with her to barrel racing competitions and his singing career was put off to the side as he began to chase a hobby of his: cooking. He desired to be a decorated master chef and he found a school to hopefully give him that opportunity but it turned out to be a fluke which brought him an old habit to return. Smoking. He was open to Bella about it and asked for her support to help him stop but he struggled up until he found a new school that actually gave him the teaching he needed.
Rikki was able to kick his habit after Bella dug into him one night about his carelessness in quitting and it opened his eyes which would come to literally save his life. That weekend she had an importation barrel racing competition and when he was cleaning out the trailer for her. He had a severe coughing fit that upset his old injured lung that had collapsed roughly a year ago. He started to have pain but hid it only for it to grow gradually worse as he watched her run but when he met back up with her after the run, he was nearly collapsed. They got him to the hospital where he did wind up collapsing but he was luckily saved. After that second near death experience Rikki successfully kicked his habit of smoking and traded it for gum while he continued to work his way up in the culinary school. He flew through his final exams and was recognized by famous food critics and graduated out of the school but he did stay in order to pick through his opportunities that literally lined up at his door. However, the day he was certified as a Master chef Bella's sister Nichole gave her an unsuspected call that he found out that night over his award winning dinner. Bella told him she wasn't sure she wanted to return to that house but he told her that she wouldn't go alone if she wanted to at least go see her sister again. Both packed their bags a couple days later and headed out her mother's who she assumed wasn't seeing her father anymore only for the man to show up that night without warning to her. Bella and Rikki stormed out for some fresh air only to stop in a small grocery store where they unbelievably ran into his mother out of all people. Rikki was mind blown and wound up accepting an invitation to his mother's house which was in a way convenient since Bella's visit was a bust when Rikki saw Bella's father strike her mother the next morning after he warned the man not to harm Bella. He wound up breaking his jaw and threatening him just as he'd done Bella's ex. They left shortly after that and took a day to recuperate in a hotel. The following day Rikki and Bella then visited his home that was very stiff to get through the first day only for emotions to be strung out later that evening and Michell told Rikki her traumatic change had come from a fatal accident that had taken her baby with Dale which had been six-months in development and her ovaries had ruptured in the accident as well. That's when she told him he was the only son she'd ever have and it struck him hard, very hard. Michell then told him the story about how his father didn't know about his existence until three months after they'd gotten married. Rikki's father, Craig never wanted a child and Michell's actions had caused Rikki a lot of pain and confusion which brought light to Rikki's darkened heart to make way for healing during the visit. Rikki's visit back home was enlightening after that and when Felix returned home he too had loose ends to tie up with him before the visit became hard to leave when it was time to go. He promised they'd visit again soon.
Currently, Rikki is home and searching for a new high end restaurant establishment that can compliment his mastery and skill level as a decorated master chef.
