Ricky Glass

Ricky Glass is a resident of Lower Duck Pond.
== Life before LDP ==
Rick was born in England, to Susan Glass (A local hunter) and Garry Glass (A local butcher), he had a fairly standard upbringing. At the age of 16, he started to help with the family business, hunting animals with his mother, then bringing them back to his father, who would sell the skin and meat at his small store.
Around a year later, something happened to Rick, but what exactly is unclear (He has been quite adamant on "leaving the past in the past", refusing to talk about it), whatever "it" was drove a massive wedge between him and his parents, resulting in frequent arguments between them, and it remained like that until Rick's eighteenth birthday.
Upon his eighteenth birthday, Rick left England with the money he had from working for his parents, along with the family rottweiler (Bo), and spent the next two years wandering around Europe.
At the age of 20 and still wandering, Rick had developed an indifferent outlook to life: "It has no hidden meaning, it simply meant whatever you made it to be", so that's what he did. He followed rumours and stories that he had heard on his travels, a small, quiet, tightly-knitted community in a far-off place. This led him to find Lower Duck Pond, where he chose to settle down, being fed-up of trying to accomplish something.
===Life in LDP===
Rick mostly kept to himself, having bought a country house on old street, he rarely spoke to the neighbours, or even left the house, really only ever leaving to walk Bo. That all changed at the age of 23, when a newcomer, Matt Groves, had publicly announced the creation of a local militia force. Rick was the first person to volunteer for the militia, and feeling a new sense of purpose, struck up conversation with Groves at the recruitment booth. The two have been friends since.
These days, Rick can normally be found helping around the community, or at the local dog park with Bo, doing whatever it is a man and his dog do.
==Personality==
Still having the "Why care?" look on life at the age of 29, he's definitely a more social character than he was when he first moved into Lower Duck Pond. Even if he doesn't show it, he feels a connection to Lower Duck Pond and the other residents. It should also be noted that Rick is very, very protective of his dog (He has gotten in trouble on more than several occasions for threatening people who he believed put Bo in danger), who he sees as the only thing he has left from a former life.
==Hobbies==
Rick has kept his interest in hunting, and can normally be found in the forest with Groves, looking for small game.
He is actually somewhat talented in art, but keeps that to himself.
==Trivia==
He suffers from atychiphobia (fear of failure), seeing it as a reflection of himself. If he feels like he won't get something right on his first try, he won't even bother attempting it.
Rick has a jar of "happy stuff" hidden behind a set of drawers in the main living room.
