History

Richard Hecklington was born in YE 05.

A dropout of boot-camp, Richard was too lazy to get a job, so he wandered the streets as a hobo. Eventually he made a living through petty theft- and it is this way he discovered his love of climbing. As such, he stole four magnets to climb buildings to steal better loot. It is here he dubbed himself “Suction Cup Man.” Afterwards, he met up with another hobo named Joe Ingram. They hit it off, and eventually “lived” together in an alleyway. They shared everything- places to sleep and such. However, like all of his past relationships, they broke apart. He had hidden a stash of food without telling Joe, and when Joe found out, they got into a fight and split apart. Feeling the need to get offworld, Richard eventually stole a No-T1-1a - Mucoyi Civilian Shuttle civilian shuttle and fitted a magnet “tow cable” onto it to hitch a ride on other ships. Due to dropping out, he kept his EM-G7 Emrys Environ suit and EM-G8 Gravity Boot.
