FULL NAME: Charles Richard Amari (nee Clark)
AGE: 38
OCCUPATION: Business owner
HOMETOWN: Houston, TX
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Riverdale, NY
PERSONALITY
Charles is a big goddamn nerd. It’s something he does very little to hide. If you mention comics or sci fi he will light up like a Christmas tree and talk for hours. He ran an online game of Pathfinder for many years in his mid to late twenties before time constraints put an end to it. He loves board games, and will frequently try and involve random strangers in a game if there is no one else around.
He is also a great big softy. Despite being the owner of many businesses, and despite being an excellent owner at that, he has a very big heart and cares a lot about his staff. Christmas or other holiday bonuses are a big deal, as are parties. Do you have a friend who needs a job? Pick one of his business. Do you need sponsorship for a charity thing? Here’s $1000. He is, however, smart enough to be wary of people taking him for a ride, and it takes a little while for him to build confidence in someone, but once they’re in his good books they stay there, and he is generous with what little time and all the money he has.
Working as hard as he does, it’s important for Charles to be incredibly well organised. He has a paper planner that he carries around because he can’t really trust his phone, and each day is planned out to the half hour.
Charles can also walk on stilts, in heels, knows how to use a whip, and can hold the tune for a sea shanty if you want him to.
Charles likes horror. He likes reading, watching, writing, playing, and consuming horror in any way.
HISTORY
Charles grew up in an upper-middle class family in Houston, Texas. He was always very business and money minded, despite finding the whole thing quite tedious. It was something he was good at, and it was something he decided he would just go into. During school he worked with friends of his father, also a rather prominent businessman, to learn the skills he would need to run his own show, and when he left school he pursued his interest in buying up a failing shop and bringing it back to life. Of course the fact that his family had money really helped, he acknowledges that having money made his career path a lot easier, but once the first store was purchased, everything else was Charles’ work and the money that came in from it. It was an investment. It needed to be revived. And he was really good at it.
Being a smart guy, Charles could have probably gone to any number of high end universities, but he opted to skip getting a degree to focus on this thing he had found that he loved and enjoyed and was good at.
By his mid twenties, Charles was really flourishing. He moved to New York City and bought out a few places that needed some TLC, and by his thirtieth birthday he was looking at opening up his own businesses, running things remotely and putting people in charge of each establishment that he trusted to take care of things whilst he was away. And he did find that he was away a lot. Different businesses needed different information to flourish, and because his portfolio was rather diverse, Charles spent a lot of time travelling between difference conferences and business meetings for each different branch of his tree.
Shortly after he turned thirty he found Riverdale and decided this was it, this was the place he was going to invest in. He poured a lot of his well earned money in to several buildings and businesses in the town and, though they weren’t bringing in the same money as his places in New York City and Houston, he could leave them on their own with little concern, which was a lot less stressful than his other ventures.
During a business trip to London, Charles met Dil. In a pub. Where both of them were drinking alone. He’ll tell anyone who asks that it was love at first sight, but there were better men than him who had been brought to their knees by a pretty lady. He was cautious at the start of their relationship, but once he had sponsored her arrival in America things moved quickly, and within a year of meeting the two of them were married.
Dil keeps her eyes on a lot of things in the town whilst Charles is away working, which is more frequently than he would like. But they have a nice home in Riverdale and Charles works from home as much as he can.
HOW DID THEY COME TO RIVERDALE?
Charles owned businesses in Riverdale for several years, including the video store, but it wasn't until he was looking for somewhere for he and his wife to settle down that he really put down roots in the town, purchasing a house for them and a salon for her. Prior to his marriage he spent maybe a few days in the town every couple of weeks
