Personality: Ricky is gay, as gay as you can picture someone but that doesn’t change the fact that he is the most lovely man you can meet. He loves to go shopping and is always there for his friends especially dear friends like Jo; who never treated him any different because he is gay. He is very sensitive and might cry easier than any little girl you ever known but he only does it because he loves you and all the happiness in your life.
Ricky is a little shy when he meets strangers, but very soon he made friends with them and is as loud as a young gay man can be. He is nearly one of the overly gay squeaky men but his friendliness makes it somehow okay.
History/Background:Ricky grew up in a humbled home as an only child. His parents love him very much and to the day they are not really fully aware that their son is gay. They suspect it but neither Ricky nor his parents ever talked about it.
Ricky worked his way into university, and then through university. He met Jo in his final year at Oxford and they became instantly friends. Well and as soon he met Liam he had the hugest crush on him, but got over him as soon he found out that Liam is really not into boys. Shortly after that time he fell in love with Alfred ‘Alfie’ Jackson they moved in together after his graduation. Since then he was happy in a relationship with the older boy.
Ricky was Jo’s maid of honour at her wedding and always made her feel special and he is insanely looking forward to meet Jo’s and Liam’s baby.
