Gender:
Male
Race:
Homomagi
Age:
27 (for the 192nd Year in a Row)

The Oblivion
Occupation/Status:
Owner and Proprietor of the Oblivion Bar
Alignment:

Factions:
None
Canon Or Original?:

Powers/Abilities:
Ricky, at his core, is a magician who only practices White Magic. Central to white magic are its healing abilities, which include restoring health, curing diseases, and replenishing energy. It also excels in creating protective measures, such as magical shields and wards that safeguard individuals from harm and establish safe havens for recovery. Additionally, it encompasses purification and cleansing, enabling the removal of curses, toxins, and negative influences. Empathy and insight are key aspects, allowing practitioners to provide emotional support and guidance.
Ricky excels in his non-offensive magical style, and is unable to harm others with his magic. The key here is the need for any spell he ever casts to have no direct harm, be protective, or not be cast with malicious intent. This does allow him some wiggle room, as someone who runs headlong into a ward may be harmed in doing so, it was not the intent of the protective spell, but the actions of another interacting with it to cause harm.
He also has a great deal of magical knowledge, though it might take research into his personal notes if it is a more current magical practice. Before he was cursed, he had obtained mastery in many of the schools of magic, but now is unable to utilize much of it in a practical way. These days, he sticks to healing, abjuration, divination, and conjuration magic. All of these are used in the protection and upkeep of his home and business, the Oblivion.
Weapons/Items:
The Oblivion - In a hidden demiplane where magic and hospitality intertwine, there exists a unique establishment known as The Oblivion, a bar and hotel that operates entirely on a favor system instead of conventional payment. This enchanted sanctuary welcomes any who seek refuge, as long as they are willing to abide by the proprietor's rules of non-violence. This place is not so much one of benevolence, but true neutrality. It is a place where anyone, from any walk of life, can be protected, hidden, and have some level of comfort. Of course, they must always pay the price, whatever it is that Ricky has deemed worthy for his time, effort, and power. These favors are recorded in his personal legers, and can occasionally be lost to the ravages of time.
Appearance

Physical Appearance:
Ricky often sports a sleek, well-groomed hairstyle that complements his angular face and strong jawline. His complexion is typically lightly tanned, giving him a healthy, sun-kissed appearance. His eyes are striking, often highlighted with well-defined brows and a confident gaze that draws attention. In terms of physique, he is lean and athletic, with a toned build that reflects a commitment to fitness and a healthy lifestyle. He carries an enigmatic grin that suggests he’s perpetually on the verge of sharing a clever secret or playing a subtle prank. Ricky is covered in intricate tattoos, the only way he has been able to preserve some memories, though they are not his own, but that of other's.
Clothing and Armor:
Ricky is known for his distinctive and versatile look, which combines a modern edge with classic features. His wardrobe is a blend of high fashion and casual chic, featuring tailored suits for formal occasions and trendy streetwear for a more relaxed look. Whether he’s wearing a sharp suit or a casual ensemble, Ricky's style is characterized by a sophisticated and polished aesthetic, often accessorized with minimalist jewelry and stylish sunglasses. His overall appearance exudes confidence and charisma, making him a standout figure in the magical community.
Personality
Sexual Orientation:
Pansexual
General Personality:
Ricky is a figure of quiet mystery and subdued charm. He carries an air of quiet contemplation and a touch of melancholy, as if he is haunted by the shadows of his past. This haunted quality gives him an aura of depth, making him a captivating presence to those who frequent his bar. Despite his somewhat somber demeanor, Ricky is deeply empathetic and attentive to his patrons, offering a listening ear and sage advice wrapped in cryptic, yet soothing, words.
Ricky's personality is a blend of casual ease and cunning mischief. Despite his apparent calmness and the aura of melancholy that clings to him, he has a penchant for light-hearted trickery and playful banter. He uses his magic in whimsical ways—animating objects to entertain patrons or subtly enhancing their drinks with magical effects that surprise and delight. His bar is filled with curious artifacts and enchanted trinkets, each with its own quirky charm, reflecting his mischievous nature.
A defining feature of Ricky’s life is his annual memory reset. Every year, his memories are wiped clean, leaving him with a fresh slate but a vague sense of deja vu. This condition leads him to approach each day with a mix of curiosity and amusement, as he navigates the world without the weight of past experiences. His memory loss also adds a layer of unpredictability to his character. He often discovers old notes or personal artifacts and puzzles over their significance, sometimes chuckling at the absurdity of his own forgotten past. Despite the challenges, he embraces each year as best he can, covering up any lingering guilt or sadness with a mask of impishness and curiosity.
Ricky’s patrons are well aware of his unique condition, and they play along with his playful confusion, often engaging in friendly games or filling him in on the latest happenings. His ability to seemingly remain upbeat and mischievous despite his circumstances endears him to those who frequent the Oblivion. His bar becomes a haven not only for a good drink and a touch of magic but also for the lighthearted and ever-changing company that Ricky provides.

History:
Ricky's life can be divided in two distinct periods. Before the Curse, and After. Before it, he was a well known individual within darker magic circles. He was ruthless, cunning, and willing to do whatever it took to bolster his power, reputation, and his criminal dealings. He made many enemies in his life, but he had his family and his fiancé, Lysander, to keep him at least somewhat grounded. He was starting to withdraw from this life, as Lysander was wholly opposed to it, when the two were ambushed by others wishing to take over the vacuum that Ricky was leaving. It was in this magical fire fight that Ricky accidentally killed his fiancé. Overcome with grief, he vowed he would never kill another again, never harm again, never be a force of such selfishness in this world.
Such vows are powerful and sacred to Magi. It had been a long time since such promises had been made, but the Universe took notice. Ricky was taken up on his offer, given unmeasurable power, but all of it could only be used to create, to heal, and to protect. Should he ever deviate from this vow, every spell he ever cast would be undone. He thinks of this often, and how it would bring Lysander back... but at the cost of many. Lysander's mother cared little for this, thinking it too little, too late. With all of her power, she cursed Ricky to forever relive his 27th year, forgetting everything that had occurred and starting fresh with that same pain of losing his greatest love by his own hands.
Decades went by like this. One by one, his family passed, and now Ricky is alone in the Oblivion. He has staff that work there, but each one is a stranger to him. As best he can, he journals as much as he can to hold onto some semblance of a life, but with all the years that have passed... he has amassed a collection of musings that take so much time to look through. He is unaware of so much of what has happened to him, and each year he wakes up to a world more alien to him than the last.
Role Play Sample:
"Another day in paradise."
Ricky hears himself say this after a patron has asked him how things are. He is about five months into this year, enough time has passed for him to cope, but not enough for him to truly be at peace with his circumstance. Ricky isn't sure how much more of this he can take, but he supposes his only saving grace is he will forget all this suffering in the end.
Ricky continues to politely converse with this patron, taking on their woes. So many treat him like a priest, this bar a confessional. Sure, he could talk, but so soon... it will be wiped away from his memory, as if nothing had happened. As if nothing had been uttered. The weight still lifted, but then for both. The best bartender a drunk could ask for.
