Heartbreak stains the soul, and I believe that to be true... But for me, it's different. It's... like an emptiness. An abyss. That stands between me and any hope of finding a real and meaningful connection. Perhaps that's why I am the way I am. Perhaps for now, I am the abyss.

Backstory · · ·
Ritchie's upbringing was shrouded in mystery and silence, raised solely by his serious and relentless father in a new country after leaving Chile. His father was tight-lipped about Ritchie's mother and the maternal side of the family, leaving him in the dark about his true origins. This secrecy fostered a sense of fear and obedience within Ritchie, making him hesitant to question or disobey his father's instructions. Although he was a quiet and obedient child, his academic performance suffered, but he always strived to do his best.
Upon reaching the age of 18, strange changes began to occur in Ritchie's life. He discovered an arousal for the macabre and developed sadistic tastes, finding an odd fascination with horror movies. Additionally, his physical appearance transformed, with his eyes turning into striking scarlet orbs, and he began to manifest demonic powers. It was during this time that his father finally revealed the truth about his origins.
Ritchie learned that his "mother" was not a traditional parent but an angel with whom his father had a one-night encounter. His father explained that after their brief union, Ritchie's "mother" left, entrusting him with raising their child. This revelation plunged Ritchie into a state of confusion, panic attacks, and identity issues. It took months of grappling with his new reality for him to come to terms with the truth.
In his search for answers, Ritchie eventually sought out his other father, Despair, who had transformed into a demon after being cast out of heaven for his union with a human. Their interactions were initially challenging due to Ritchie's inherent awkwardness and difficulty in expressing himself. Over time, however, Despair imparted knowledge about Ritchie's dual nature as a half-demon and helped him understand the unique powers and responsibilities that came with it.
As Ritchie delved deeper into understanding his own identity, he discovered that his abilities as a half-demon could be of value to an organization known simply as "The Organization." Being the only place he felt like he would fit in.

He was cautious not to upset or challenge his father's expectations, afraid of the consequences that might follow. This obedience became his shield, protecting him from his father's sternness and minimizing any chance of disappointment.
While Ritchie tried his best to please his father, his academic journey presented challenges. He found himself struggling to meet his father's high standards, leading to moments of anxiety and self-doubt. Despite not being at the top of his class, Ritchie's curiosity and thirst for knowledge shone through. He sought solace in books and movies, especially those with supernatural elements, finding an escape in their imaginative worlds.
Throughout his childhood, Ritchie often yearned for a sense of connection and understanding. The lack of information about his mother and his own identity created a void within him, leaving him feeling incomplete. He questioned his place in the world and longed to uncover the truth about his roots.
Despair · · ·
As Ritchie delved deeper into the mysteries of his origins, his path crossed with that of his other father, Despair. Their encounters were marked by a mix of fascination, trepidation, and an unspoken connection. Despair, a demon who had once been an angel, became an unexpected guide for Ritchie, offering insight into his own dual nature and the complexities of his lineage. In their interactions, Despair shared stories of his own journey, recounting the struggles and sacrifices he made when he was cast out of heaven for his relationship with a human. Ritchie found himself both captivated and conflicted, grappling with his newfound identity as a half-demon and the weight of his own existence. Though their conversations were often filled with awkward silences and unspoken tension, Ritchie slowly began to trust Despair as he provided guidance and understanding in navigating the complexities of the supernatural realm.
Their time together revolved around the study of tecnicisms, history, and lore of both hell and heaven, as well as the diverse array of supernatural creatures that inhabited these realms. Despair shared the secrets of rituals and dark knowledge, immersing Ritchie in the intricate intricacies of the occult. As a result, Ritchie became well-versed in the esoteric arts, expanding his understanding of the supernatural world.
While Despair was his father, Ritchie felt a profound disconnect, unable to sense genuine love or a meaningful connection with him. Despite the vast knowledge and guidance Despair provided, their relationship remained somewhat distant and elusive. Ritchie longed for a deeper emotional bond, yearning for a sense of belonging and understanding that seemed forever out of reach. This bittersweet dynamic intensified Ritchie's internal conflicts, as he grappled with the complexities of his dual heritage and the longing for a parental connection that would forever elude him.
