Conatus/Ricky

Ricky is a DLC character in Conatus and was created by Shadow Inferno. It is the 13th Character and the 3rd DLC Character.
==Background==
Ricky's origins are fairly vague although cave paintings of his past can be found across the map. It is known that Ricky comes from a species of Polymorphs that primarily like to appear as normal animals, Ricky had spent his childhood on a hot desert planet far away from the Grimnore. Ricky however gathered a large debt due to gambling and was on the hunt from the Polymorph Mob, similar to a regular Mob except they can be literally anything.
The day the Polymorph Mob arrived at Ricky's house he was already gone as Ricky had moved to Grimnore knowing the mob wouldn't follow him there. Ricky left a message to his folks telling them that he was going on vacation to brush up on his polymorph abilities and he didn't know when he'd be back, trying to keep them in the dark about the gambling debt he'd acquired. (This information was gathered as part of a deal with the Polymorph Mob)
Ricky did eventually reach Grimnore although due to some damage to the hyper sleep chamber he was in he'd suffered minor brain damage as a result making him believe his own fabricated story he told his folks. Ricky went down to the planet and began experimenting with his polymorph powers on the planet and has only been sighted a few times by other wanderers of the Grimnore.
Other cave paintings indicate that Ricky had attempted (unsuccessfully) to befriend a bear and had been spying on several other individuals in the Grimnore for various reasons, seemingly for food most of the time.
==Appearance==
When not transformed Ricky looks like a Meerkat mostly, the main distinction between him and a standard meerkat is a jacket he wears which can somehow polymorph along with him and a large target on his torso which apparently according to his folks was him taunting some poachers to shoot him a few years back. Ricky's jacket is a bright Blue Puffer Jacket.
==Personality==
As mentioned previously, Ricky is a fairly heavy gambler and would tend to lie and trick people into doing things for him regardless of the morality of the situation. Ricky had become known on his planet for being a thief and con-artist as well as between trying to hide from the Polymorph mob he would often pickpocket unsuspecting individuals and perform rigged street tricks to get money out of various people passing by.
Ricky also speaks quite quickly and will sometimes outright skip words in a sentence for no reason. He tends to use this trait to persuade people by making them being incapable of properly understanding what he says. Ever since he landed on Grimnore, Ricky has acted somewhat more civilized and seems to be interested in making friends, however his thievish tendencies are still prevalent as he has been known to still steal whatever he comes across.
==Gameplay==
Ricky is best played as a stealthy character, by disguising him as an object he can get a surprise attack on anyone else as long as they don't detect him. Ricky is able to deal a lot of damage quickly although once spotted has a noticeable drop in his damage output. Ricky also has some rather strange weapons with stranger abilities allowing him to work well enough to be able to fight and run at the same time. It is not recommended to use Ricky in open areas unless there is tall enough grass to cover him due to him being easy to hit for long-range characters.

===Equipment===
Name 	Description
Melee WeaponLoaded Guns 	Literal loaded revolvers, for some reason Ricky can't fire these and instead will try to bash people over the head with them, this can on occasion fire on of the bullets and depending on which way the gun is facing will determine if Ricky or the opponent get hit.
Ranged WeaponThree-Fold Timmy's Poker Chips	Some Poker Chips Ricky was carrying on him ever since he crashed, he seems to have an infinite supply of them and each one seems to have a small electrical current going through it which will electrocute anyone who gets hit by one.3 PowerPassive Perk: Electrocution
ShieldMob Boss' Ace of Spades 	Apparently this is the main reason why Ricky is being hunted by the Polymorph Mob, this large Ace of Spades is made of a special type of metal that can deflect light blinding anyone it strikes, it is not that great at protecting against melee or physical ranged attacks however.
