[@Mystic] Hmm, that is something to consider indeed. I was wondering how all our characters, from such backgrounds, would eventually meet (or not). This setting isn't as conducive to conversation as most, in fact, I bet talking to a stranger is like playing a risky game of russian roullete here. I mean you never know who will shoot you, send you flowers, drug you or rat you out just for saying the 'wrong words'. Right?

That being said, Ricardo is probably, only by face and possibly surname, known to the characters who have a need for sorcerous items or wares. One of the few antiquities store that has a less seedy reputation, if you need something identified or your personal enchantments checked out, he is licensed to help you (somewhat legally). This may involve Brass, who requires regular visits to sorcerers / or at least someone who knows what is needed to do. Anthea, who may or may not employ spells involving plant parts. Andy, If he has the same undead issues as Brass. If there are characters who like old, exotic antiques, like possibly Maharet (who is an old antique herself) then maybe they've heard of the place.

He is also working with the police to 'hunt down dogs' as he puts it, more as a civillian volunteer than an actual enforcer of the law, who passionately tips off locations of werewolves scum and gets occasionally embroiled in one or two cases where ocult is touched. This may affect dagmar, in indirect ways, due to his affiliation with the Council of Hobos. Brass, who is a skeletective. Chase, a police who may or may not want to avoid Vigil If he wants to keep his secret. [@Nightwarden][@RIengo][@DJAtomika][@Strawberry425]


His shoppe is half a cafe/pub, but the actual person who runs it is Laurella, an elven woman who makes the best macaroons in the world (which is so addictive, it may or may not be spiked with Dust, just saying). So any sweet tooths out there, you will know where he works but he's probably just a fuzzy red blur in your macaroon deprived, hyper glycemic daze. Laurella is the one that matters here.


Ricardo visits the Steel Thorn bar every once in a while since roughly half a year ago, he's one of those quiet drinkers who silently passes out, with his face buried in his folded arms at the counter at least once a month. So Max may have noticed this somewhat regular customer.[@XSilentWingsX]

Unfortunately, he isn't directly involved in the crimminal circles ...yet. So some characters like lilith, nightshade, maharet, anthea and andy may be total strangers.[@fantasyfan28][@LoneSparrow] He's just a shopkeeper who is caught up in the *bleep* that's going on around and now has to bumble blindly through the *bleep* to seek some closure.

I should really write down that my first post may not be happening in Real Time IC, it's probably maybe a night or at least a few hours ago. But I don't know where to indicate.
