Celebrity Claim: Strong, Mark
Relation to You: Richards is the man responsible for the death of Eden's friend Chul. Richards was one of Eden's first targets as a vigilante. He is known to be very powerful, has many connections outside of Vegas and has been able to cover his track for years and gain alibies whenever needed to avoid being caught by the law.
Michael stands at six feet and two inches. His hair is naturally dark in colour when grown out, but he prefers to shave his head to near enough bald because it means less effort and also disguises any grey that may be creeping through.
Even though his hair is shaven, he is noticeably balding more on the top of his head. He has naturally tanned skin, mostly due to his Italian heritage. Michael has an oval shaped head, which points at the chin. He has small hazel eyes and a thin bridged nose.
When it comes to clothing, suits are his thing. Michael is rarely ever seen without a suit because he believes suits reflect importance and he is very important as far as he’s concerned.
Michael is a very impatient man. He likes to get what he wants and often if he doesn’t all hell breaks loose. No one and that means no one, say no to Michael. He’s arrogant and shallow and believes himself to be better than everyone else. If you have something he wants, he will take it from you and if he fails..well failure isn’t an option with him. He will keep coming back until he gets whatever it is that he wants.
He’s a very brash individual who cares little for consequence and the well being of others. So long as he’s okay, he doesn’t care about anyone else. Michael tends to get others to do the dirty work for him, not because he’s a coward or because he simply has that power but because by sending others to do his work..it takes any evidence away from him. Michael runs a tight ship and getting caught is something he’s not about to risk.
Michael is a selfish individual, he doesn’t do things for others unless there’s something in it for him and 9 times outta 10 he’ll make you pay for his services..whether that be in money or blood. He has no boundaries or morals. Most people have limits, he does not. Michael won’t hesitate to hit a woman, he won’t hesitate to cause carnage in a public place, so what if a few innocent’s get caught in the cross fire and he sure as hell wouldn’t hesitate to take candy from a baby. It’s a dog eat dog world at there and Michael knows that so rules and boundaries are necessary in his world. Boundaries and limits just lead to failings and that won’t do for him.
NONE
Michael was born in Las Vegas on March 23rd 1966; to Andrew and Maria Richards. He is there first and only child. Michael’s father, Andrew was a boxer while his mother, Maria worked at a law firm, taking the role of filing and administrations clerk.
As an only child, Michael was pretty used to getting what he demanded in life. Early life had been beneficial for Michael, everything working in his favour. His parents worked solid and generously paid jobs. Michael lived under a solid ground household where both his parents cherished each other. Things were ideal for the spoiled little child and if that wasn’t good enough for him, he also had two doting grandparents to serve at his every beckoning call.
Michael was an average student at school. Certainly hating it like most youngsters did, he often found himself purposely getting into trouble just so that he could avoid classes. Rather than wanting to learn, Michael appeared to be additionally interested in settling scores on the playground, with his fists. Maria blamed Andrew, what with being a boxer and all. The fighting got worse and it seemed Michael had no care for whoever the victim was, smaller, younger and even female..it didn’t stop him.
One event where Michael had hit a girl landed him in hospital. After school he’d been jumped by the girl’s brothers and beaten to a pulp. Maria went crazy over the incident; his father seemed more bothered that his son had lost the fight. Andrew tried to turn his son into a mini version of himself, much to Marias disapproval. Their father, son bond had never been stronger but Maria concerned.
Eventually the fighting stopped when Andrew was seriously injured after a match and left paralysed from the waist down. Not a long while after, Michael’s admiration for his father subsided and he wasn’t the only one to turn his back on him. Andrew’s own father turned his back on him. What use was his son without his legs? He couldn’t remain in the family business anymore. But, Michael could.
That’s where it all began, the gang involvement, drug smuggling, weapons dealing..all the illegal business. It started when he got in with his grandfather Edward, when he became his new right hand man. Michael shortly moved in with his grandfather and cut all ties to his parents. He was a carbon copy of his granddad, a mean and selfish man only out for himself. He would do jobs for his grandfather but one job in particular went wrong.
His grandfathers friend had been sent down for drug dealing and being caught with a warehouse full of firearms. Edward was outraged. He wanted revenge, so he sent his boys to find the cop responsible for the raid. They were sent to kill him. When they got there the cop and his family had just arrived home. The mother and two children fled, but soon the eldest daughter and her mother returned. There was a struggle and the wife was killed. They fled quickly after, but they didn’t leave empty handed...
