Meet my newest boi in my aresenal, Rico Van Lier, a capoeira, kickboxing, and jiu jitsu serval cat from Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Orphaned at an early age, becoming a active gang member, but mainly a underground and street fighter to make money for himself and his gang. Until he met Kenny Foxborrow, becoming his bitter rival now turned loyal underling of Kenny after the fox came to save his life, get him out of the gang life and give him a better life as a professional fighter. I'll get a official ref sheet of him soon. But I'm really happy how I made this early version of him. :)

Relationships


Kenny: Considers Kenny as a very close friend and even the brother he never had. The only one in his life that treated him like family no matter what. And owes him everything after saving his life, but sacrificing himself to save him. He looks to Kenny as a Mentor and for words of guidance. He also serves a second to Kenny's fights when he's not fighting on the same night/card. Rico loves sparring and fighting with Kenny toe to toe in the ring regardless of who wins or loses. He loves hanging out, working out, and racing cars with Kenny, and loves the quality sex time they share too. Rico would gladly give his life to Kenny if need be, as Kenny did for him.


Natalia: Considers Natalia as the big sister between him and Kenny. Especially with him. When they first met, they had a little bit of a rocky relationship and didn’t get along right away. The two were nearly at each other’s throats and getting into a couple of brawls and scraps that was NOT in the ring. Tali blamed Rico for what happened to Kenny and him nearly losing his life to save his. But Natalia soon realized Rico’s loyalty to Kenny and later apologizes and welcomes him to his new found family. Natalia loves Rico as much as Kenny and is the big sister to the Serval and trains him to become stronger along with Kenny’s help.


Rico enjoys spending time with his feline cousin, and enjoys putting on the gloves whenever he can to take on his trainer. Both in Kickboxing and MMA. Winning some and losing some, he enjoys it very much. They also occasionally have sex with each other both in and out of the ring.


Sydney: She doesn't know much about him when Kenny bring Rico to the Kenny's luxurious estate, but trusts him when Kenny insisted he is a good man. Sydney didn't argue with her master, and vowed to help him improve his kickboxing, and boxing skills along side Tali as part of his training team.


Backstory and History


Rico was born and raised in one of the roughest and poorest areas of Rio De Janeiro Brazil by both his mother and father. His mother was a nurse working day and night to provide for her son, while Rico’s father was a notorious gang member that introduced his son into a life of crime at an early age. Sometimes his father was there, sometimes he wasn’t. But when he was there he’d made sure Rico had plenty of new toys, and even video games with the money he earned selling drugs and going on brazen robberies. By the time Rico was 11 years old, he was abandoned on the streets by his mother and father. The Serval had nowhere to go and no one to turn to or help him, until he was eventually taken in by a notorious member of Los Banditos the next day on a lonely rainy night where he cried himself to sleep.


It wasn’t much, but he at least had a roof over his head, and the gang members that took him in made miracles every holiday and Christmas for him. It was also no secret that Rico’s father was a serious gambler and owed a lot of money to a rival gang mob boss and got his family in a deep, dark hole of debt. Unfortunately, Rico’s father’s decisions eventually caught up to him because he was shortly murdered by a rival gang member he owed money to shortly after him and his wife abandoned his son. That same gang member eventually got killed by Rico’s mother and the murder was never solved. Eventually, Rico’s mother didn’t last long either, because she fell really ill days later and passed away. Rico didn’t know about his parent’s death until he was told about it by a Bandidos member. Causing the feline to fall into a deep, dark depression and saddened state. Not wanting to go to school anymore, not wanting to eat, not wanting to do anything. Except asking God, ‘Why did it have to be me out of everyone else in the world?’


By the time he was 12 and almost dropping out of elementary school, he was walking the streets of Rio De Janeiro, he walked past a Capoeira studio, and really took interest in it really quickly. He took a beginner class, and fell in love with it. His adoptive gang members that took him in gladly paid for his classes, and he became one of the top students in the class for years. But in return Rico had to do some work for the gang since they wanted to teach him that nothing in life is free. But he didn’t care so long as he can continue doing it.


Fast forwarding to his teen years and young adult, Rico was formally initiated in Los Banditos, and had a purple V dyed in his fur on his forehead, signifying his ties to the gang and the color they identify. At that time he also climbed the ranks of Capoeira to an instructor rank and earned his purple belt. He also started to branch out into other martial arts like Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, earning his black belt in that, and becoming an excellent striker. At the same time, due to his promise to the gang, he was forced to drop out of high school in his 3rd year, and participate in illegal activities for The Banditos. That includes robberies, smuggling, street racing, gun running, and even fixed gambling.



Without an education and without any proper proof of any applicable skills to work a job, he had to turn to crime to survive. But he wasn’t involved with the gang’s crime most of the time, Rico made most of his money with his Capoeira performances,street fights, and illegal underground fight clubs. Earning himself quite a reputation with how many fighters and martial artists he’s beaten in exciting fashion using his hybrid fighting style of Capoeira and Kickboxing. Learning how useful he was to the income of the gang, he was forced to fight to fill the gang’s pockets and supplement their income.


By age 21, Rico had to depend on himself and fell into an even more depressed and unsatisfied state again. He had money, but not enough to leave Rio for good, and even if he wanted to, the gang wouldn’t let their cash cow go. The family he thought was meant for him quickly turned into a manipulative caretaker only keeping him around in their best interests. On his casual stroll out in Rio, he ran into a certain MMA and Kickboxing prodigy of a fox Kenny Foxborrow. Who was on vacation during the time and was met with a punk kid trying to fight him from accidental contact. Rico demanded he come off his wallet and cash too, and fat chance Kenny would ever do that. Which led to a street fight between the two, and Rico did everything he could with the skills he learned over the years, but it was not enough for NSFW’s veteran Kenny, and beat him without breaking a sweat.


Instead of calling the police on the Serval, Kenny decided to help guide him on the right path, and in a way mentor him into escaping the life Rico set for himself. But to the stubborn Serval, he saw Kenny as someone who was beyond privileged, and was given everything and had a head start at an early age. So he resented him for it even though Kenny earned his name in the MMA and Kickboxing world. This prompted to follow Kenny around and pick random fights with him everywhere he was when he was in Rio. Many of which Kenny beat him without trying. One of those times he walked in on Kenny training in a Muay Thai gym in Brazil, and challenged him in the ring to prove his worth. Which then turned into a grudge match where Kenny gave Rico some ‘dental work’ so to speak with his kicks and left him without a couple teeth.

Kenny wasn’t mad, he kind of understood the Serval, but he still had to teach him a lesson and tried his hardest to set him straight and away from gang activity and illegal underground/deathmatch like events. Saying to him, “If you ever consider going down the straight and legitimate path, come find me. I’ll be more than happy to help you.” Before leaving him. Bruised and bloody.


Rico over the time thought about what Kenny said over and over again, and during this time around he had strong reservations about the direction his gang life is taking him and the life he is involved in now. Even if he wanted to, Rico could not leave Los Banditos because he was their top earner, and fighter for fixing matches and in the underground fight scene. The fights he was winning only netted him so much, but sometimes they were in on it and fixed. And the matches he lost, only would put word around town if he was actually a real fighter. So going to the man that brought him into the fold of the gang, they came to an agreement that if Rico can do one last job for him and the gang, he will be a free man. To which Rico promptly agreed.

The job in question was winning to an up and coming fighter that had odds of him winning against way more than losing to. Rico would call Kenny about the last job and saying he might be interested in what the fox told him. But something told Kenny this last job was eerily suspicious. Later that week, The stage was set, and the capoeira and kickboxing Serval was ready to leave his life behind him. As the fight went on, with Rico winning the majority of the rounds, his opponent started to get more than feisty, and before he knew it, Rico was getting punched and kicked around the ring and started to lose the fight. But without giving up, Rico was able to knock out his opponent with a highlight reel spinning back kick that sent him down to the mat and declared him the winner. To that, he was out. At least he thought…


Back in the locker room, Rico was suddenly approached by a group of men, who then revealed that they were members of the gang his opponent was in that had money fixed on their fighter winning. And before he knew it, Rico was knocked out and kidnapped and shipped to a warehouse where he was beaten and tortured even. Through the beating, they revealed that his own gang and supposed ‘family’ paid them alot of money to kill him after the match was over and for leaving the gang. To which the man that brought him up arrived to say a final goodbye so to speak. Feeling betrayed, angered, and just saddened that it came to this. Rico was rightfully assuming this was the end of the road for him, and he regretted not taking Kenny on his help sooner. With a gun to his face, he accepted his fate that was coming.

Only for the lights to go dark, and suddenly there were distant gunshots, which then grew closer and closer to the room they were in. Rico kept his eyes closed, knowing he was dead for sure now. Only to get a glimpse of a figure in all black, shooting the man with the gun at his face, and slashing and hacking the gang members in the room, and even trading blows with the man he thought he could trust. Ending it all with a stab to the chest that dropped him for good. The figure in black walked towards Rico, and he turned on the lights from his phone, and with that, Rico looked up to see the person in question was no other than Kenny Foxborrow. The fox he tried so hard to take down and defeat throughout brazil. Kenny unties him and helps him to his feet, to which Rico hugged him tightly, thanking him profusely for saving his life. Even shedding tears in front of Kenny.



It was then revealed that Kenny was a vigilante when not in the ring, or street racing. He got word that he’d been kidnapped and came to his aid. Kenny would then quickly take them both out of the area and out of Brazil for good. Where Kenny had a private plane for them both to take them to the United States of America for him to start a new life and pursue a legit career of being a fighter at NSFW. Rico didn’t have a Visa, but Kenny took the liberty of already arranging for him to be a United States citizen for the rest of his natural days. So thankful, the Serval made a personal vow and promise to be Kenny’s underling and loyal to him no matter what happens. Now that Kenny became his ‘Aniki’ so to speak, he would take him to his mansion located in Los Angeles California, and settle him into his new life and home. The following week, introduced him personally to the founder, and his boss of NSFW Jackson Peds, Also known as Jack. And he got him officially on the roster as a Kickboxer, and MMA fighter for NSFW.


Today, Rico lives with Kenny at his mansion and trains under him to become the best fighter he can be, and best friend he can be to the fox. A life that he dreamed of now became a reality and he will not do anything to jeopardize and lose it all after his extremely hard upbringing in Brazil. Leaving the gang life behind to become a true warrior and martial artist, the right way.
