Richard (Ricky) Thomson was a former toyshop worker in Seabridge Town. Just two days after quiting his job because of further job offers, the town in which he lived fell under infection of a horrific constant-mutating virus which tured most living beings into sometimes weak and sometimes destructive mutants. Ricky was a lone surviour in his area in the town (a central part of the sea front). He survived by destroying a large petrol station (located on the far edge of the town) and killing all remaining mutated forms nesting in the area.
