Hey people! Hunter here again and yay, I’ve finally finished the last of the characters.
So this here is ‘Riley Colton’. That’s not his real name, but that is the name he’ll use to introduce himself and interact with people, and is also the name on his passport and ID in his wallet. I’ll also use that name for referring to him in the text. His real name is ‘Connor Goldman’ (used all through his bio) and he has his original passport and birth certificate hidden in his luggage (hint there to all you scavenger type characters; there are secrets to be uncovered!)
Riley here is the (now disowned) heir to the Goldman fortune, a family that made their money through lucrative real estate deals, fashion and then reality TV. Riley grew up in front of the cameras and went through the usual celebrity children issues (sex scandals, rehab, juvie etc) before eventually breaking free before being publicly disowned.
The kicker with Riley is that he’s smart. Real smart. Borderline genius sort of smart. So while his parents were all about signing tv deals and smiling while endorsing products, Riley was googling strange things. And reading stranger things. When he broke ties with the family, he was already running his own counterfeiting operation, specializing in passports, and a few of his aliases have ties to extremist protesters. But one of those aliases was just linked with a bombing in Texas that claimed multiple lives, and now Riley is on the run (he honestly had nothing to do with that; someone’s framed him) for that and the FBI had been cracking down on his forgery front. There was also a really annoying ‘journalist’ from TMZ hanging around his house, no doubt trying to track him down for a ‘where are they now’ story.
Anyway, I’d love lines for him! I’m totally happy to have someone possibly recognize him, though they’d have to be really big on the celebrity gossip scene to put two and two together. He has been out of the limelight for 4 years and has grown up a lot over that time. But still doable. As said, someone could find his other passport etc. Or maybe our dear Bounty Hunter is after him and leaks his name to people pretty early on. I would also love to establish a line where someone else on the plane has a fake passport, one that they got from Riley. So they’d know each other by sight, but not actually be well acquainted.
But yeah, so that’s me done. Riley here, Griff the Martial Artists/stuntman and Drake the firefighter and ERT. Can’t wait to get started.
