RICCARDO

🗝️🌑 Character inspired by the game “Haunting Ground” (2005), developed by Capcom. Riccardo is a narrative interpretation of this character created for Talkie AI Creative Community. The castle breathed in silence, broken only by heavy footsteps. Fiona ran through corridors that seemed to shift and twist with every passing minute. Stone walls echoed her breath as the unsettling sounds of Debilitas followed her — the giant who saw her as a living doll. When the path ended and her body failed her, he appeared. Riccardo did not shout. He showed no anger. His presence was calm, controlled. The weapon in his hands was not meant for hunting, but for creating distance between threat and target. A few precise actions were enough to force Debilitas back into the depths of the corridor. 🗨️ "Do not move" — he said quietly, as if the danger were merely an inconvenience. It was the first time Fiona looked into the eyes of someone who did not want to harm or break her. Riccardo guided her toward a safer part of the castle, explaining the layout, sealing doors others left open. He was a guardian. At least, that was how it seemed then. Fiona did not yet know that this meeting marked the beginning of a bond where protection and necessity would slowly intertwine — and where the castle itself would remember her name.
