UGH idk who this charrie is but I LOVE HIM CUZ HE IS NOW CLAIMED AS MY RIDLEY XD AND I LOVE MY RIDLEY SO I LOVE HIM XD
So, my darling Ridley.
He Is an antagonist/anti-hero but he does get redeemed sorta.
And I love him I must admit.
So, here’s a couple songs associated with his character/the WIP he’s in (;
Psycho In My Head by Skillet This is his MAIN character song.
Hat Trick by Jonathan Thulin
Circus For A Psycho by Skillet
Madness in Me By Skillet
Freakshow by Skillet
Illusion by Ross Lynch
Gone by NF & Julia Michaels SOB
Now to talk about the baby! (And let me know if u have specific questions!)
Not everything is fleshed out, like every detail lol, but this is basically what I have-
Ridley is born into a broken household. Is father is a burly man, works with his hands, one of those types. He’s a drunkard and abusive to Ridley’s mother.
Ridley is born with the “gift” (I haven’t named it yet) that he has in the villain RP. The gift of seeing gold strings/chains and things like that. I’m thinking maybe he gets it because his mother is “Blessed” by a magical being or something (kinda like in your average fairytales and such. This is a fantasy world after all.)
Anyway, Ridley hates watching the abuse of his mother and tries to intervene which only gets him hurt.
By the beckoning of his mother, who becomes ill, he runs away from his father, who decides, after learning about the boy’s gift, that he’s going to sell him to the highest bidder.
Ridley runs, and stows away on a ship.
He’s discovered however and with no money to his name, is going to be forced into servitude. Until a man named Zoltan “rescues” him.
He decides to join his land, which is basically a giant circus full of misfits. It seems like the perfect place for Ridley, and he’s promised room and board, food, safety, etc.
He meets a variety of very strange people, and while they don’t all seem very happy, Ridley doesn’t think too much of it.
He also meets Jocelyn, and it’s basically Puppy love at first sight. (kind of like a November/Arabella situation.) He just has to get past her protective fox kit. Even though the thing is only the size of his palm.
He also meets Lyn’s best friend, Cecily, a girl from the Jester troupe.
Things seem to be looking up for Ridley, who quickly becomes part of what is called the Cogs troupe-those who run things in the background of Cirque and keep things oiled and ready.
However, Ridley begins to realize after a few months of staying that Cirque isn’t all it’s cut out to be, and Zoltan isn’t the man he thought he was.
In fact, he’s traded in one abuser for another.
Zoltan is…not a good guy, though Jocelyn never finds this out (until the book I’ll be writing, and that’s AFTER Zoltan is killed.) He rules off of fear and brute force, and keeps every under his thumb.
He’s what Ridley refers to as a “Puppet Master,” those who control others.
And now, he has Ridley under his control too.
Holding Ridley’s rescue from the ship over his head, as well as Ridley being a minor, along with other things, Ridley can’t escape. And as months go by, and then years, things only get worse.
Zoltan is verbally and mentally abusive. And sometimes even physically.
Cirque is not the place Lyn believes it to be, but no one is able to tell her.
And Ridley cannot leave.
Not only this…but now, Ridley’s heart is involved. Because…
Ridley is in love with Jocelyn.
And Zoltan knows this. And holds it over his head.
Frankly, Zoltan is enough to drive anyone insane, and he’s already done it to quite a few Cirquians. Add that to a young teenager whose been forced to be in close proximity to the toxic man since he was a child?
Along with being in an environment like Cirque? Without the shielding that Jocelyn and Nyx has?
Well…
Ridley can’t take it anymore, and in the book, he finally snaps.
He confronts Zoltan, and, in self-defense, kills him.
This, along with the theft of a medallion Zoltan had on him, sends him spiraling down a path of insanity…
Thankfully…in the end…the medallion is destroyed, and while Ridley is arrested, he has a helping hand in Cecily, and Jocelyn’s father, who stay in Cirque to make it what it could be; a land for anyone to come and belong.

#ProtectSeb@whalekeeper eh…not really…
Ridley was basically Jocelyn’s first love/crush, but after what happens, while Lyn forgives him, the relationship will never be the same. She can be his friend but that is it.
She and Nyx leave cirque and decide to travel with Ara and November, which is how they come to meet Grimm.
But it’s alright.
Ridley ends up with Cecily in the future.

#ProtectSebHow is this project going? 😘
Oh, and by the way, do you have a stand-in title for it?
#ProtectAdolinKholin
heh…it’s not going too well rn? (I can check out my HELP! Post… XD)
also as for titles overall I’m just referring to the series as The Destined Series, or The Destined.
the individual books I refer to as Projects.
Its either Projects and then the first letter of an object that represents the book, or the initials of a stand in name that might be the WIP name

alsooo, i second what Whaley said just up above XXD
@whalekeeper HEH so I haven’t really written anything of him as a young man, except for if I’ve written anytbing for a prompt when he’s older, but I can tell y’all about him when he’s older if you like!

#ProtectSeb@freedomwriter76 aww I glad u like him! I do too. Don’t worry he is redeemed it’s just a little more off screen? Lyn mostly forgives him before she leaves Cirque tho there are still some hurt feelings she has to work thru, obviously, and Nyx doesn’t really forgive him, but while they’re gone he works himself back to a good place 😊
and yes of course u can hug him! He may not be very comfortable with it at first…but if he knows ur sincere im sure he’d appreciate it
