History: Rick was part of a nomad family. They traveled from town to town without much thought of their next destination. It was rather fun and it actually helped train them for the real world - it also made him especially good at climbing, jumping and swinging. Essentially using the environment to his advantage. They would often make a few days to a week stops at towns to refill their inventory and to learn more about what was happening currently. They were also known to help around when they can. He also had a younger brother who he looked after.
When the Stargate opened, their family was affected and, of course, everyone else around them. They knew they had to help. Leaving the two brothers in a town that was relatively protected, their parents set off to help however they can. They never returned. Thankfully, the town withstood total devastation and the two brothers managed to survive. Once everything settled down, they knew they could continue travelling. They did so, for a while, with just the two of them. He taught his brother everything he learned from their parents. It became increasingly obvious that he couldn't take care of his brother properly by himself so he left him at a town with and Exploration guild and left, with the brother's consent of course.
Being alone had been rather odd. He had been used to travelling with other Pokemon so this was a different experience. The freedom he felt was amazing. He could do whatever he wanted without much repercussions. He had been known to delve into dungeons to help other Pokemon, despite him not even being a member of a guild. However, he soon ended up with the Medburn Exploration Guild. Rick had come across a team while on a mission inside a dungeon. He was taken back along with the one they had to rescue and was introduced to the guild master. He had become a full fledged explorer pretty quick because of his experience.
Personality: Playful and energetic, Rick is the kind of Pokemon who can bring your spirits up. He is rather sensitive to emotions of those around him and he does his best to make them laugh - even at his own expense. He's been known to make a fool of himself if that's what is needed to make someone feel better. Others do say that he is not the best role model out there and he doesn't really blame anyone who claims that. It has also been said that he is childish; this assumption was caused by his "inability" to take things seriously and he always wants to have fun, no matter the situation. He often sounds overconfident in battles but that's just him with his, what he thinks is, funny antics.
Notes: Rick has a lot of experience in traversing uneven terrain, and he relies a lot on speed rather than taking someone on head-first. He seems to have a knack for juggling which he uses to have fun with the children.
