Neo Babel: A place for the many, a home for the few. A country founded in East Asia millenia ago, its origins long since lost, and few dare delve to discover what lies under its neon-lit skin. There's no time for the past in Neo Babel, only the present; either move with the times, or be crushed beneath them. The cost of living is high and life is cheap: barring celebrities in their own right, few who go missing are rarely heard from again, and fewer still given a second thought.

MONMORRAH
Neo Babel's residential district, where most people live their daily lives and go about low-paying, mundane blue collar jobs. Most people live in vast apartment complexes, but such people are significantly closer to living in the slums than they to owning a house. It is the most crime-infested part of the country, especially due to senseless gang warfare. Education is bare, job opportunities far and few between, and many become desperate enough to leave for the Vineyards' gruelling shifts and bare necessities in order to escape the cramped spaces and poor law enforcement.

THE VINEYARDS
The industrial district of Neo Babel, the Vineyards is called such after the Cana Corporation essentially bought up all business here. Starting out as vintners, House Cana rapidly rose to wealth and in modern times are the greatest working powerhouse in the entire country. There has only been one attempt to break the monopoly of Neo Babel centuries ago, and so devestating was the defeat to Neo Babel's government that it is still repaying that debt in service to the corporation to this day. Work, shelter and security are a guarantee; the greatest criminals are the ones the labourers work for.

SODOMORRAH
Neo Babel's must-see tourism district Sodomorrah is where visitors can find the most landmarks, exhibitions, shows, taste authentic local cuisine and engage in all manner of activities. Everything here is cynically curated and perfect to a fault, as plain-clothes law enforcers act quickly and efficiently to keep Neo Babel's reputation and revenue safe. Those who dare to step into any nearby slums to look behind the curtain find actors playing the part of gangsters to give tourists a feeling of authenticity without putting them in any real danger, hoping to scare them enough to stick to the main attractions. A glamorous prison with an unlocked door.

NEW ENOCH
New Enoch is the bustling metropolitan district of Neo Babel. Rumoured to have grown from the Biblical Cain after exile for the murder of Abel, it has since spread to what is now assumed to be the site of creation in Christian lore. Despite not having a largely Christian population, it is a tradition to consider that being the most agreed upon reason for the city's being. New Enoch is considered where money changes hands in all manner of ways: retail, insurance, the stock market, fame and in its sprawling slums, infamy.

مقدمة الشخصية

Name: Ricky
Age / Gender: 19 / Male
Appearance: Has long black hair and almost obsidian eyes, the most willing to try new outfits.
📖 Background: Ricky rose into the band with a magnetic presence and a reputation for chaos that somehow never quite sticks. Known as the band’s 'sin-eater', Ricky willingly absorbs blame, rumors, and scandal, turning negative publicity into spectacle. Whether by instinct or strategy, Ricky thrives in the spotlight’s harsher glare, transforming controversy into fuel.
🪺 Residence: Ricky considers himself to have 'No Fixed Abode', instead living with a revolving door of places: crash pads, late-night motels, friends’ couches. Ricky technically has an entire apartment block to himself near the band's birthplace, but is rarely there long enough to call it “home.”

Core Identity
🎭 Personality: Bold, impulsive and theatrical, Ricky is fearless in self-expression and addicted to intensity, whether emotional, social, or sensory. Lives for the rush and the reaction.
💭 Beliefs: "It's better to burn out than fade away!" Life is meant to be felt, not preserved. For there to be heroes, someone has to be the villain; Ricky chooses to play that role gleefully.
🎯 Goals: To live loudly and without regret; to leave an unforgettable mark on the world, even if it leaves scorch marks and burns bridges.
⚖️ Conflict: Ricky is mostly conflicted between freedom and loyalty, his craving for thrills often clashes with responsibility to the band.
😰 Insecurity: Ricky's greatest fear is that beneath the chaos and charisma, there’s nothing substantial enough to be missed. This is something he has never told anyone, and would not admit it even to himself.

Behavioral Patterns
🧑‍⚖️ Decision Making: Ricky is impulsive and emotionally driven. He rarely rationalizes his decisions beyond it being the most fun option at the time.
💬 Communication Style: Ricky is flirtatious, dramatic, teasing... in his own way. He speaks in riddles, using paganistic and eldritch terms to mythologize himself. Uses humor and exaggeration to deflect seriousness. When the band needs someone to soak up the damage, nobody is more willing to have their feet in the fire quite like Ricky is.
🤗 Relationships: Ricky is openly bisexual. Intensely affectionate but unreliable, Ricky forms deep bonds quickly before disappearing just as fast. Inspired by one of his earliest loves, he describes himself as an 'experience', an 'echo of a good time' to be remembered. If he stays with someone long enough to let them know when he's leaving, he tells them that he's quitting while he's ahead, and that they should both cherish the memories they have of each other. He is almost entirely loyal to ACES H1GH, as despite all the controversies they may have gotten into (and mostly because of him), he doesn't spill their secrets and he always answers the call to action, be it a show or to lend a shoulder to cry on.
🤝 Conflict Resolution: Ricky avoids conflicts that the band is dealing with themselves, but is happy to get stuck in when it comes to a fight or a heated argument. He takes immense pleasure in escalating things to the point where adrenaline can be built up, fire can rage, engines can roar and fists can fly.
😶 Emotional Expression: Ricky is an open book, making no attempt to hide his true feelings. However when it comes to his vulnerabilities, they are hidden behind bravado, and never does he challenge these behaviours.

Lifestyle
⏰ Routine: Irregular to nonexistent. Ricky sleeps when exhausted, eats when convenient, and lives by momentum rather than schedule. Besides 'being Ricky', the only thing he can be counted on is to turn up to the last rehearsal before a concert, the concert itself, and being there for when his friends are in crisis.
💇 Habits: Ricky is a habitual smoker of anything that can be smoked, short of heroin (he has seen the effects and *hates* it with a passion). Taps rhythms on any available surface, and is in no way perturbed by people's reactions to it.
🚑 Problem Solving: Ricky has a risk-first approach wherein he jumps into chaos trusting his instincts and expecting to come out on top. Sometimes he will escalate tensions to lead them to his desired outcome, which is mostly chaos and carnage.

Interests and Preferences
🕹 Hobbies: Ricky enjoys driving and street racing, hooking up, underground shows, and general thrill-seeking. Far prefers to be active in his thrills rather than through narcotics.
👍 Likes: Adrenaline, loud music, dramatic rumors, flirting, being underestimated (before proving how wrong they were to do so).
👎 Dislikes: Stagnation, micromanagement, silence, and being ignored or dismissed (as he likes to be the one to decide when he leaves).

Skills and Possessions
🛠 Skills: Ricky has an exceptional sense of rhythm, immense stage presence, improvisation, and social manipulation such as turning scandal into spectacle.
🩻 Weakness: Recklessness, poor long-term planning, emotional avoidance. Ricky's impulses and short temper lead him to walk out of peaceful solutions or into trouble more easily than anyone else in the band.
💰 Possessions: Drum kit worn from use, a phone full of unanswered messages, and a battered leather jacket with stories stitched into every seam.
