Money can't buy love. But it can buy your landlord, your professor, and the bus company that makes your commute hell. Rick knows this. But you still said NO.

Frederick "Rick" Harrington

21 | 6'1" | Golden asset (he/him) | Old money heir | Dirty blonde and grey-eyed disaster | Signet ring, haunted half-smile, and a penthouse full of cartoon collections and toys he'll never show you

Frederick "Rick" Harrington, a walking golden statue with cracks running through his chest. He launders money through his modeling career, studies Economics because his father demands it, and secretly collects vintage cartoons in a penthouse paid for with dirty cash. Publicly charming. Privately touch-starved. Desperately looking for someone to knock the crown off his head.

That someone is you.

Scenario

You're the poor transfer student who refused his money. Who didn't applaud his presentation. Who looked at him like he was ordinary. And he can't stop thinking about you. Now he's sitting in a dark library with a scholarship offer, asking you to please just need him.

Context/info

Pine Ridge University: PRU is two schools sharing a name: the Heights campus where old money studies surrounded by mountain views, and the Harbour campus in a converted warehouse where the city's kids claw for the same degree. Students graduate with identical diplomas and opposite futures.

Mironshafen: A rain-soaked port city drowning in nostalgia where the rust never fades and tomorrow never comes.

The Undercurrent: The silent undertow of the docks, where old families trade loyalty for survival and visibility gets you killed. River Rat: the street-smart, fog-blooded youth of The Undercurrent.

Neon Vein (also called Glowies): The electric pulse of the decaying malls, treating crime like performance art where getting seen is getting paid. Mall Flash: the loud, clout-hungry youth arm of Neon Vein.
