=Backstory=
Ricardo was born to parents who migrated to the United States before he was born. He was raised in Hopkinsville Kentucky where he his parents and his sisters lived until the death of his mother. After her death his family moved to Wichita, Kansas following financial troubles in the aftermath of his mothers death. His family has since moved back to Hopkinsville after he used the money he earned in the army to buyback the old family home.
While he mainly joined to supplement his crippling anime addiction Ricardo also joined due to a lack of direction in his life. His father working to earn enough to raise 4 children on his own left little time for the 2 to truly bond. As a result he spent days on end without seeing his father who regularly worked overtime. It wouldn't be until he joined the army that his father was able to take a break and spend time with his kids as Ricardo sent half his paycheck to his father every month. He never intended to join the Airborne but after a clerical error thrusted him into the position, he simply rolled with it. While the paycheck was much nicer than his previous role, Ricardo experienced many horrible events during his first year of duty in the "Second Vietnam War", The Baltic States Campaign, and finally a horrible ordeal during the Tselinoyarsk Civil War that left him blind in his right eye.
After entering Active Reserve following Tselinoyarsk, Ricardo spent a year figuring out what he wanted to do. It was then a colleague of his mentioned a position as an instructor for Japan's Airborne Program in the JGSDF. Ricardo had learned Japanese following joint operations with the JGSDF in Tselinoyarsk so he took the opportunity to rekindle his former passion with anime. It was here that Ricardo had heard of Kuroshio Academy nearby and decided to attend in order to find a place in the civilian workforce once he finally retired from the military.
