I was thinking about a reporter, but I could be just as happy playing a G-Man.This is what I have as far as a character background so far...Ricardo Garces was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His parents Eduardo and Rosa ran a diner, and Ricardo and his sister Graciela helped out at the family business.Ricky was drafted in 1944 and served in Italy and Germany, first as a combat rifleman and later as a military policeman. On his return to the States he entered the University of New Mexico and after graduating applied to join the FBI.Ricky is proud of his heritage and he is sensitive to slights about his ancestry. He is acutely aware of his place as a minority in an overwhelmingly Anglo-Saxon organization, and so he strives to do everything a little better than peers.Ricky can be working at the LA office easily enough - perhaps the Bureau sent him there because he's Hispanic. I'm tentatively leaning toward Tough 2/Dedicated 1 or Tough 3.And by the way...Okay, that's spooky - I wrote the draft background last night.</blockquote>
