Hollywood, the land of dreams, the birthplace of modern cinema, the-. ah, who am I kidding, it's just a big old game of snakes and ladders. You either go up or down, depending on whether you got a ladder, or a snake in your corner. 

But what happens if you just, flip the board over? Let's see what happens when Richmond 'Ricky' Stirling attempts to do precisely that. Why wouldn't he? When life is just a game for him.

The average stats for an adult are 25 in all categories. But anyone with 25 across the board, will be decidedly average in all aspects, essentially leading an unremarkable life throughout. Therefore, people will usually have higher or lower stats in varying categories depending on their capabilities. For example, an academic researcher may have INT above 50 if he/she is truly knowledgeable across several fields. An Athlete, will generally have STR, DEX and CON higher than 40. A politician's WIS stat could surpass 40, along with his/her CHA.


Now, in my stat point dissection (the numbers in the bracket), the first number will indicate the default stat point he'll gain by aging till he's 18. The numbers in the middle indicate the stat points he allocated, and the last number will indicate the stat points he has legitimately gained through rigorous efforts.


I'll NOT list out all his skills here, considering it'll take me days and possibly weeks, to compile all of them. Though there will be mentions later down the road when he gains an essential skill, or is using one in a crucial situation.


Also, Ricky's Birthday is on 31st October. Halloween. Because... why not? He was born on 31st October 1977.
