3. Birth date: April 20, 1982.
4. Appearance: Tousled shoulder-length brown hair, intense brown eyes, fine-boned face with prominent cheekbones, medium height (5'10"), slender but muscular build.
5. Occupation: World-famous rock star, with his band (bios later).
6. Musical talent: Singer (sounds like combination of Jon Bon Jovi, John Lennon, and Kurt Cobain), songwriter, guitarist (started guitar at age 10).
7. Education: Good self-education--completed high school with top marks because of his natural intelligence, even though he spent most of each class goofing off with his friends and showing off for the girls.
8. Sexual preference: Bi-sexual, though he hasn't entirely accepted it yet.  Became a misogynist in high school when every girl he tried to talk to broke down giggling and stuttering (he was always extremely good-looking), therefore disgracing the gender in his eyes.  Now he's slowly being reformed by the two ladies in his life--fellow singer Barina Sklapnlov and adopted Indian 10-year-old Sita.
9. Ethnicity: French-Canadian.  Both his maternal grandparents were born in France, and his paternal side traces there too, albeit further back.
10. Identifying possessions: Antique but entirely functional Vincent Black Lightning motorcycle, and Flame, his red-orange electric Fender guitar.
11. Parents: Shy, slightly nerdy dad who works with computers.  His gorgeous, dramatic mother left when Richie was two, and he's missed her ever since (at age 20 he found out that she had died when he was 10).
12. Hobbies/recreation: Playing guitar, reading, stargazing, motorcycling, downhill skiing, escaping from photo shoots.
13. Politics: extremely liberal.
14. Relationships: Secretly has a crush on Barina for her spunky tom-boy attitude, but will never admit it to her.  It's hard to have an intimate relationship with him, because he's physically distant due to a mild disorder which makes his skin extra sensitive to any touch.
15. Fears: Scared of the dark and can't sleep alone because of it.
16. Negative traits: Very insecure, practically no self-confidence.  Vain, often rude, hates women, can be oblivious to emotions.  Stubborn but changable, firey temper.  Often careless.
17. Positive traits: Determined, loyal friend, very charming, can be affectionate.  Magnetic personality, passionate and protective.  Very devoted to his dad, and later, children, would die for any of them.  Intelligent and intellectual, natural leader.
