## History

### Early Life

Richard Deetmore grew up as Richard Richardashian Jr, the youngest child (and only son) of the socialite family The Richardashians. His childhood was one of immense luxury, wealth and priviledge. He and his sisters attended private schools by day and fashion shows by night. They were always on the cutting edge of style and prided themselves on rubbing shoulders with A-Listers, their phone books filled with the who's who of pop culture.

As the only boy in the family, Richard (Ricky to his family) didn't always fit in as nicely as he'd have liked. His mother, Ribecca Richardashian, made it clear that she'd had no interest in a son, preferring instead to dote on her girls. Ricky spent a lot of time with his father, Richard Richardashian Sr, who taught him some of the 'vital' skills he wasn't learning elsewhere; Namely, golf and firearms handling. Richard Sr walked out on the family before Ricky started high school.

For msot of his life, Ricky's best friend was his twin sister, Rihanna Richardashian. The two were inseperable in their youth, even when they bickered fiercely. Despite their constant attempts to one-up and upset each other, there was a deep mutual understanding and respect between the two, the survival of which an outsider might not be able to comprehend at times. Highlights included Rihanna stranding Richard in the middle of a lake during one of their many drug and alcohol fueled parties at the family's lakehouse, for which Ricky would take revenge by stealing Rihanna's boyfriend on prom night.

Unlike his sisters, however, Richard had never neglected his educations for the party lifestyle. He always found himself maintaing solid grades, something his sisters and especially Rihanna used to taunt or attempt to insult him with. He began to realise, through broadening his social circles, that the Richardashian's lived an immensely sheltered life, with no real idea of how the 'real world' worked. Talk of these subjects caused a further rift between him and his family, especially his mother.

These arguments came to a peak when Ribecca announced that the family were to be the stars of a reality TV show called Rolling with the Richardashians. A camera crew would follow their every waking moment, to cement the family as not just celebrities but as walking, talking brands. This, for Richard, was the last straw. He refused to live his life down the lense of a camera with his every waking moment televised, every word out of his mouth approved by a team of publicists and lawyers. After a particularly vicious argument, Richard packed up and left the Richardashians behind for good.

Or so he thought.

### Going Alone

Richard decided he'd adopt the name and nationality of his paternal Grandmother. He legally changed his name to Richard Deetmore, leaving the Richardashian name and fame behind, and moved over seas to finish his education in Scotland. He stayed clear of the trappings of wealth and luxury that he was used to, throwing himself in to the real world. His priviledged upbringing filled these days with naivety, and he found himself taken advantage of more often than not.

But it was never able to deter him. His years spent studying and travelling planted within him a deep-seated desire to help people. Not in the phony way his family had done in the past, with fundraisers that functioned as a facade for the Richardashian brand, but in a real way. He set his sights on joining the Police.

## Early QCPD

### Captain Tenpenny

A long series of coincidences and happenstance circumstances found Deetmore arriving in Quiet City, wide eyed and eager to begin a career in law enforcement. He sought out the Quiet City Police Department, and got himself an interview with their Captain at the time, Jimmy Tenpenny. After an interview, in which Cpt Tenpenny tested Deetmore's judgement under pressure, he was offered a job as a police officer. Ricky Richardashian Jr was no more. He was now to be Officer Richard Deetmore.

Deetmore had a chance to make an impact on a new group of people, by proving himself as a person and not just an extension of the Richardashian empire. He put a lot of pressure on himself, leading to some questionable decisions early in his career, made in an effort to impress his new colleagues but most specifically his new Captain. During an early car chase in his career, in which Deetmore was passenger while Tenpenny was driving, Deetmore was full of nothing but admiration for the Captain's ability to keep up with the suspect considering the vast quality difference in their cars.

The chase came to a crescendo when the suspect drove off a cliff in an attempt to flee, with the captain following. The suspect car was wrecked by the police cruiser landed more smoothly. Upon piling out the car, Deetmore tazed the suspect out of their vehicle, at which point the man caught fire. Tenpenny saw the humour in the situation, quipping "What voltage is that taser on?" before moving on and detaining the suspect.

A similar situation arose a day later, when the PD received a notification of a robbery of the jewlery store in town. Deetmore and the Captain were in the precinct building, and the Captain decided they would provide support by helicopter. While stalking the suspect via the skies, Tenpenny gave Deetmore authority to open fire with one of the sniper rifles stored in the helicopter. After the suspect crashed and attempted to flee on foot through a forest, Deetmore brought the man down, and he was arrested.

### Suzie Crumplebottom

During his early days as a police officer, Deetmore found himself focusing on getting to know the citizens of Quiet City. Through his patrols and community work, and responding to crimes, he became acquainted with more of the city's residents. His first solo arrest saw him arrive in the parking lot of a hardware store, where Ralph Huggins was attempting to steal a car. Ralph insisted that he had broken in to the car to free a dog who had been locked inside, and got himself stuck. While Deetmore didn't buy this story, he appreciated the banter, and the two would maintain a mostly friendly relationship moving forward.

Another prominent and fateful encounter from those early days saw Deetmore as the only officer on duty, struggling to keep up with the influx of citizens arriving at the PD to discuss various matters. One such citizen was Suzie Crumplebottom, who had lost her cat and required police assistance. She was also looking for a job at the department as receptionist. While Deetmore wasn't authorised to hire her in this capacity, he promised to put in a good word after Suzie helped him clear the front of the PD of the many people who had busines there. When Tenpenny returned to duty, Deetmore advised him of how helpful Suzie had been. Tenpenny hired Suzie as the department's receptionist that day.

Deetmore quickly found a friend in Suzie. Where he harbored a secret nervousness and desire to prove himself to the PD, Suzie seemed full of confidence, never afraid to speak her mind even when it got her in trouble with the Captain. When not patrolling, Deetmore would spend a lot of his time with Suzie around the building, even sneaking up to the roof to share a joint on a couple of occasions. Suzie found herself with a variety of job titles, including receptionist, Human Relations and Force Manager. As they went through the early days of the QCPD together, Deetmore developed an emotional attachment to the receptionist, something that several other members of the department were aware of and gave him a light-hearted teasing over. Upon confessing these feelings to Suzie, she stated that her role as HR would make it inappropriate for the two to have that kind of relationship.

He briefly sought comfort for this rejection with a paramedic Owen Hughes, but broke things off as he felt it was unfair to Owen.

### The Fight

Rumours had grown on the Quiet City street of a boxing club being held. The exact legality of this club had remained seemingly unclear. Deetmore expressed an interest on signing up upon hearing Tenpenny say that the fights were sanctioned by him and all above board.

Excitement surrounding the fight club in the city increased as they held meetings, with a large scale, no-expenses spared Title Fight being advertised between the current reigning champion, an elderly gentleman named Arthur Trout, and Tenpenny himself. A fateful Friday evening was set for the big event, with several other fights on the cards, including Deetmore fighting Barry Bosco, and Suzie fighting Allie DeDas, a small-time criminal from the SYT. Several EMS were in attendance to ensure the fighters would be fit to compete and cared for after their matches, multiple members of the PD attended to ensure nothing got out of hand, and even the Mayor Maya Marshall and Judge Damian Starr showed up.

The crowds were taken up to the roof of the IAA Building by helicopter, heightening the anticipation. The fights proceeded as planned, with Suzie winning her fight but Deetmore losing his due to the nerves of the moment. Spirits remained high, though, as everyone looked forward to the main event.

Tenpenny arrived late by helicopter, and the stage was set. He took his place across from Arthur Trout, and the two went at it, with Tenpenny swiftly emerging the victor. The crowd errupted in to cries of adoration and groans of defeat, depending on who you were backing. Deetmore's celebrations were quickly cut short when he noticed the crowd of EMS gathered around Arthur's body, who hadn't got up. He made his way over, to find the EMS struggling to revive Mr Trout. Word began to spread that Tenpenny had murdered the man.

Chaos erupted. Erma of the EMS was wild with sorrow, assaulting several people (including Deetmore) with her flashlight before being detained by Detective Leah LaRoux. Tenpenny, distraught over causing the death of a citizen, was taken to the side by his colleagues, while people started being flown back down from the roof. Due to the nature of the events, Tenpenny was taken in to custody.

Deetmore travelled down from the roof with Suzie and Allie in the helicopter. Allie was behind herself with grief, speaking of how Arthur was a hero to the SYT and Tenpenny had better watch his back. Deetmore was able to calm her down, and stayed with the two for the remainder of the evening, a tragic turn of events that saw Allie warming to the officer.

Later that night, word got out that Tenpenny had escaped custody and fled, his whereabouts unknown.
