Ric Hohl

Richley Penn Hohl is a powerful and influential government official for Neon City, working directly under the Governor. For years he has maintained close ties with the establishment and massive corporations through which he has benefited greatly, resulting in him becoming a millionaire. However like most of the government, he is notoriously corrupt and committed various acts of fraud and questionable political agenda--but has never been indicted or charged. He is father of rebel crime fighter Zayden Hohl, known as Feld.

Born in 2060, Ric is the youngest son of Mason Hohl (born 2027), a government computer scientist and security agent, and Bri Blackburn (2030-2107), a secretary. Ric was one of the first Hohls born into the new global system, and thus was destined to pursue a career in it. His father was one of the pioneers of the New Earth Project, and helped craft the entire system including Code 0. Ric became involved in politics and business, however, he was soon corrupted by the establishment, much to his father's disliking. His father soon left city work due to his son's presence and started his own security agency, which he continues to manage at age 80.

In 2090, the same year he married his wife Jeni, he was elected to High Chairman of the Xanadu city board, followed by numerous other positions, rising into the upper ring of government. In 2092, his son Zayden was born, and in 2096, his daughter Jade was born--followed by the death of their mother. Ric continues to work high up and his adult children, both rebel cyberfighters, are aware of his fraudulent corruption and criminal agenda and avoid him. He couldn't care less about them, but has made occasional attempts to capture them or have them killed.
