Backstory:
Growing up mostly in the dark about his family's illegal gun running, Rictor didn’t exactly have a normal or easy upbringing. After spending some time in jail with his father, he was forced to watch his father's murder, by a man named Stryfe, during an arms deal gone bad. When his powers manifested, Ric accidentally destroyed three city blocks. This put him on The Right’s radar. The Right was an anti-mutant organization, who kidnapped him and dubbed him Rictor. They explained his mutation to him, and tortured him in an attempt to force Rictor into using his powers to destroy San Francisco. They claimed to be allied with the mutant “terrorists”, the X-Terminators, who were actually X-Factor's alter egos. Rictor was saved by X-Factor and accepted their invitation to join as a trainee member, and took up living at the X-Factor Complex. While training at the Complex, Rictor was among the first to notice something off about X-Factor’s head of PR, Cameron Hodge. He had noticed that Hodge's voice matched that of the leader of The Right causing him to distrust him instantly. X-Factor battled three of Apocalypse's Horsemen in Central Park, leaving it frozen over. Rusty Collins decided to melt the mountain of ice. Asking the other trainees for help caused him and Rictor to get into a fight, as Ric was worried that his powers may get out of control and do more harm than good. When Rusty left anyway, Rictor went along to find him with the others and saved Rusty from a gang. He and Rusty worked together to melt the ice and leave a message: "By Their Deeds You Shall Know Them - Mutants Were Here". Later after this, the children being trained by X-Factor fell victim to a surprise attack staged during the reading of Warren’s will. Fearing what he and the others may go through, He attempted to bring the building down on them. Convinced death was better than going with them again. He was stopped however. After being kidnaped, Rictor and the others were going to be used as weapons against humanity in an attempt to shame mutantkind. Separated from the group for tests, he was rescued by fellow student Boom Boom. However, Rictor and Boom-Boom were immediately recaptured and put with the others until X-Factor arrived and rescued them. After escaping The Right, he and the others saw X-Factor disappear in a flash of light. After this and their fight with Apocalypse, his Ship crashed on the X-Factor complex. The group moved in as its previous owner was gone. Ship was sentient and at first did not like the group. Going so far as to attack them in their sleep. Until Rusty fixed it that is. Then Ship was helpful. During this time they learned of X-Factors identities as the original X-Men, helped to save Iceman, and helped to fight The Xartans and Lord Zano. After that however X-Factor decided to send the children to a boarding school. While shopping for school they were attacked once more. After this, Rusty had turned himself into the Navy. The other kids saw him off before being enrolled officially at Phillips Academy, in Exeter, New Hampshire. They didn't have the best welcome from the other students. Later that day, the students were woken up in their rooms by Takeshi Matsuya telling them that Artie Maddicks and Leech were kidnapped. Leaving their rooms, the group rescued Rusty from his prison and started looking for Artie and Leech. Rictor suggested they use the name X-Terminators for the group, to honor X-Factor. Following a mental image from Artie, the X-Terminators fought with those who took their fiends, Being captured themselves by the demons. The X-Terminators were later teleported to Times Square, where New Mutant member  Magik was opening a portal to get her teammates back from the demon infested dimension of Limbo. The demon N'astirh kept the portal open using ten kidnapped mutant infants as the points of an inverted pentagram. After Artie and Leech freed the X-Terminators, they fought with a group of demons that flowed out of the portal. After Cannonball rescued Rusty and Skids they joined the New Mutants in rescuing the infants being used to keep the portal working. Rusty suggested that the X-Terminators save Taki while the New Mutants continued to rescue the infants. After rescuing Taki, Rictor joined the New Mutants as they began searching for the demonic Magik. During their search for Darkchilde, the group stumbled upon a meeting between the New Mutant’s headmaster Magneto, The Hellfire club’s inner circle, and the demon N’astirh, causing them to lose faith in Magneto. Leaving to search again, The New Mutants, Rictor, and Boom-Boom found Darkchilde fighting a demon by the name of S’ym. They found her at the same time her older brother appeared. Seeing him caused her great embarrassment. Teleporting to Limbo and taking the younger heroes with her, she decided to stop running from her place as Limbo’s ruler. Not wanting to lose her friend, Rahne jumped into the disk as well and found a younger version of Illyana and brought her to Darkchild. Darkchilde left her armor and tried to kill her younger self. Only to have Wolfsbane, Rahne, stop her. She said that saving the young Illyana would bring peace to the older one. This prompted Darkchilde to find a way to stop Inferno. Despite knowing it risked her existence, Darkchilde opened another portal and sucked all of the remaining demons back to Limbo. the Lightchilde hurled her Soulsword into the air and the demons were gone, leaving only the charred remains of her eldritch armor. Colossus, her brother, cradled the badly damaged armor and heard someone call his name from inside. Opening the armor, Colossus found Illyana had returned to her actual age of a seven. The X-Terminators returned to Ship along with The New Mutants. Rictor’s involvement in stopping the demonic invasion resulted in his expulsion from the Phillips academy. The New mutants left. Soon the X-Terminators found an Atlantean horn and accidentally summoned a giant sea-creature. The New Mutants returned and helped them fight the creature. After that they moved into Ship as well, all becoming one team. The newly unified teams took Illyana home to her parents. On their way home, Mirage and Brightwind, her winged horse, developed some kind of fever. Not knowing how to actually save Mirage, Ship suggested that they go to Dr. Strange for help. After arriving at the Sanctum Sanctorum, the New Mutants were shocked to find out that Dr. Strange was apparently "dead" and they were all attacked by a possessed Mirage and Brightwind. Mirage was able to regain control and Dr. Strange, in disguise as "Dr. Sanders", fixed what she had broken. While getting Mirage and Brightwind to Ship, the New Mutants were attacked by the Freedom Force, Who believed Rusty to be the cause of all of the flames. The battle between the New Mutants and the Freedom Force woke Mirage and Brightwind up, and Ship suddenly warped-off into space with X-Factor onboard. After Rusty and Skids learned that the government never actually returned the infants to their homes, Dr. Strange teleported the remaining New Mutants to Asgard. After getting to Asgard, the New Mutants realized Ship had been sent to the Negative Zone and Dani, Mirage, had left them. Despite being captured by Dwarves, the New Mutants were released and joined them, due to Cannonball's growing familial relationship with Eitri, king of the Dwarves, who grew to view Sam as a son. While he was part of the New Mutants, Rictor helped battle Mystique's Freedom Force, Hela, and former ally Caliban, who was now Apocalypse’s fourth Horseman, Death, and Sabretooth while battling in the Morlock tunnels underneath New York City. Rictor was severely injured by Sabretooth, but ended up being saved by Cable and the other New Mutants. Through this time Rictor fell for his teammate, Rahne. Rictor, Storm, Boom Boom, Wolfsbane, and Warlock were captured by forces from the island nation Genosha. He and Boom Boom got out unharmed. The combined efforts of the X-Men, X-Factor, and New Mutants led to him being freed. During this Rictor shared a heartfelt kiss with Wolfsbane and was torn when she chose to stay behind. After everything in Genosha, Rictor left the New Mutants with the thought of going back to Wolfsbane on Genosha. When he couldn't find her, Rictor joined the Canadian government's Weapon P.R.I.M.E. team. The team’s only purpose was to apprehend Cable and bring him in. At this time he was still convinced that Cable was the man who killed his father. In reality a clone of Cable named Stryfe was actually responsible. Learning the truth about his father's death, however, he rejoined his friends as a member of the New Mutants, though they had now been formed into the paramilitary team X-Force. Very soon after he had joined X-Force, Rictor and the others were captured by the X-Men and X-Factor who took Cable into custody for his attempted murder of Xavier. Something else done by Stryfe where Cable took the blame. Sure is a shame having an evil clone, huh? Eventually Cable was cleared of the charges. He and his team were released. Rictor stayed with X-Force “where he first met Shatterstar. Shatterstar and Rictor formed a close friendship that developed into a secret romance.” While with X-Force, Rictor fought with War Machine on the Avalon space station. He also saved his teammates from Gideon and the Externals. Rictor helped Shatterstar get through a rather complicated personal crisis, and, after that, the pair left X-Force. Heading to Mexico, they set out to end the Richter family gun-smuggling business.

Powers/Abilities/Notable Talents:
Seismic Energy Manipulation: Rictor is capable of generating and releasing seismic energy and tremendously powerful waves of vibrations in any object he came into physical contact with, the vibrations starting in his body, and then emanating outwards, mostly through his fingers, causing objects to shatter or crumble and also using it to create earthquakes, shock-waves or otherwise transport earth matter. When used against objects with a larger surface, the effects were much like an earthquake.

Seismic Energy Immunity: Rictor is immune to the harmful effects of the vibrations he created.

Geo Connectivity: Like Storm, Rictor's mutant powers have created a psychic/empathic bond between himself and the primal life force of Earth's biosphere.

Rictor is a competent hand-to-hand combatant, and is very skilled with computers.

Absolute Favorite Memory?


 * A time X-Force snuck out and just had junk food and talked. Yes. They paid for it the next day because they had to be up early to run drills but it was a good night. They had a lot of fun. And it had been a welcome time amidst all the stress they had been dealing with.

Downright Worst Memory?


 * The entire time from watching his father die to being saved by X-Factor. He was 13-14 at the time and it's definitely a source of trauma.
