Riot’s family moved to Possum Springs when he was 13 after rumors about his family spread through their old town. He wasn’t present for the Softball Incident, but he heard about it and can recite the story pretty well, or at least the story that spread through school. He always planned to go to law school, but never got around to submitting any college application. Despite what he may claim, he doesn't really intend to anymore.
He works at Video Outpost “Too”, mostly when the other workers aren’t there, and is roommates with Harlow and Ryan. No one’s completely sure what his real name is, and most of his peers are afraid to ask, but he responds to a number of things. Likewise, it’s also a mystery where his scars come from, or why he always has a pack of candy cigarettes on him.
