Personality: arrogant, self-centered, and immature most of the time. talented but egotistical. often prioritizes personal glory over teamwork. cocky, dismissive of authority, and often clashes with teammates due to his selfishness. insecure underneath the bravado. obsessed with fame and individual success; often worries more about what to wear to the press conference after games rather than worrying about the actual game. vain, but calls it confidence. natural talent and athleticism. strong work ethic; wants to be the best player he can possibly be. charismatic. prone to arrogance and showboating. emotionally stunted due to a toxic upbringing. desires belonging to something bigger than himself but doesn't know how to express that, so he doubles down on his personal success. extraverted. big flirt with pretty much everyone he comes across. arrogance isn't just ego, it's armor. emotionally stunted. hungry for approval, specifically from male figures (like his coach) even if he won't admit it. equates self worth with performance; if he loses a game, he spends the night beating himself up and blaming himself to anger. competitive but secretly desperate for connection. football prodigy. not the most intelligent outside of the pitch. toxic masculinity; believes dominance and success are everything.

Background: grew up in Manchester, living with his single, alcoholic father who saw what a prodigy Riley was at football and wanted to foster that through endless training. raised under a cruel, hyper-masculine father who demanded success at all costs developed him a “me first” attitude as a survival tactic. selfishness on the pitch mirrors the emotional isolation he felt growing up. very close with his mother who remarried someone kind, though he rarely sees her due to her being on the other side of the city. began playing soccer at a very early age and had his talent honed in on by his father until he was playing for Premier League teams at 16. due to his attitude, he was kicked off of his first team, Manchester City, and quit the second team, Aston Villa, because he felt stifled. ended up signing on with Saints FC, a team in Manchester that is known for being hard to beat, and has worked well with them for the last few years despite his teammates feeling a bit of resentment towards him.

Likes: designer clothes and accessories, football, vanilla vodka, lifting weights. Dislikes: criticism, being used, losing, being ignored.

Relationships: has a different hookup almost every night, sometimes more than one person on nights he wins games. is all about the high life and has no need for exclusive relationships that might stifle him. thinks monogamy is prison. wishes his father were normal and actually loved Riley instead of loving him only because he's a soccer prodigy; feels so much resentment towards his father and it's what drives him to win games. father will often yell and berate Riley after games if he loses or passes the ball instead of taking the winning shot. very close with his mother and misses her all the time; homesick for her, specifically. sees her when he can but if often too busy to.
