Full Name: Riley Joseph Denver
Nickname(s): Ri, trash, chicken, hillbilly, dumbo, loser. (heh..can you tell he gets picked on??)
Age:30
Occupation: Was a rancher, but now is unemployed and living on the streets...(He's a bum!)
Personality Traits: He's a hard worker, very timid and meek, and too trustworthy. He's easily fooled and isn't too bright. He's very polite, bashful, and is very clumsy and often ends up making an idiot of himself. He's a very caring person with a big heart and loves to help out others.
Likes: Zerlina! Also loves his doggy and best buddy, Maggie. He likes to sing and play his old guitar, and loves to be outdoors. He also likes reading romantic poetry (though he doenst always understand it entirely..), and loved the ranchers life. Being in good company, and to have a close human friend or companion, is something he craves, but doesn't have.
Dislikes: Being picked on and laughed at ofcourse (which happens fairly often), and being a bum and looked down on is no fun. He's terrified of the water, never having learned how to swim, and has a big fear of heights, storms, and aliens as well. O.O;;
Other: Riley has had a tough life, being poor and alone from the start really. As a kid he lived on a small farm with his parents and siblings. When he got older his only 'friend' stabbed him in the back, framing him for theft. So Riley spent several years in jail, and after that became a farmhand for a few years. He's a very hard worker and has a knack for farm/ranch work, but when the ranch closed down that he was working at, he had a hard time finding a new job cause of his recorded theft. He met Zerlina one day and fell in love with her, soon 'stalking' her for a while even, making sure she got home safely and stuff. But he ISN'T and NEVER was perverted or a peeping Tom or anything like that. He doenst even really know he was stalking...just thought he was watching over her and admiring her. He kept trying to convince Zerlina to give him another chance and tried all sorts of things to get her attention, but eventually he gives up hope. Things brighten up for a bit though, when he enters and wins a bull riding competition. From there he goes to bigger competitions and is soon the new rodeo star. Unfortunatley, he's blackmailed to loose in the championships and soon goes back to his prior jobless/looked-down-on state.
Physical Description: Riley's originally from Alabama, and has a tan and dark curly brown hair. He has a 'five o'clock shadow', blue-gray eyes, and a kind face. Due to being so poor he can't eat too much so is kind of skinny, but he has a decent build and some muscle, but not a ton. His chest isn't big, but pretty well toned. He's a shorty, at only 5'6"ft tall.

Extra:Poor Riley, my idea for him changed from being a cool hotshot cowboy to a loser bum that everyone picks on. But he's cuter this way. ^^ (to me atleast). Oh, and Riley isn't a lush by any means, but he does have a soft spot for fine wine, and when faced with it, cannot resist it and...before long he's a happy-go-lucky drunk. ^^;
