Hey, guys; welcome to my first fan fiction after a long absence; this is the first Choices game I ever read and here's my adaption of it; Here's the first of some detailed bios about the main characters, some of them will be gender swapped and there are some changes, but make no mistake, the story remains the same; in a way.
Note: Although Ridley is the main character of the story, not every scene in the film will focus on him; some of the other main characters will have their own scenes as well, but i promise it won't take away from the story.

Backstory:
Born on July 5th, 1993 in Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana to parents Cortland Knightley, who had once served two terms as Mayor of Indianapolis before becoming an Indiana State Senator, and his second wife, Jessica Kingsbury; a modestly successful Defense Attorney with her own private practice.
Ridley is of American and British descent; Cortland's parents were from Great Britain but Cortland himself was born in Indianapolis, Indiana; while Jessica, was born and raised in Muncie; Ridley was born three years into their marriage; Three other siblings followed years later, all of them girls: Reese, (Born in 1996) Rylan (Born in 1999) and Raven (Born in 2003)
However, as he grew up, Ridley soon learned that he was not his father's first child, nor was Jessica his only wife.
Cortland's first wife, Roxanne Zito, an professional stage actress from Italy, had died five years ago as a result of a failed assassination attempt against him that instead resulted in her death; At the time of her death, He was serving his second and final term as Mayor of Indianapolis. During their marriage, they had two daughters, Athena and Adelaide.
Athena was born in 1986 and Adelaide was born in 1989. Athena followed her father into politics and obtained a job at the State Department as an assistant to the Secretary of State, allowing them to work together; she later became a Diplomat when one of them stepped down and she was brought on to replace him; she has been there ever since.
As for Adelaide, she decided to enter the service instead of attending college and enlisted in the U.S Navy before the end of her senior year in high school; she is still there to this day.
The Knightley family was well off financially, but never classified themselves as rich people; Cortland and Jessica had encouraged their children to make their own way in life instead of relying on them for constant assistance.
Ridley took up sports in high school and the leadership qualities he inherited from his father helped him become not only captain of both his basketball and baseball teams as well but also helped him become Vice President of the school's student body; he also took up music in his teen years; mainly piano, violin and guitar.
He studied business at Ivy Tech Community College but never made friends with many of his classmates. he would drop out during his junior year. This happened after an embarrassing scandal which involved him punching a loudmouth naysayer at a political event he was attending with his family.
His parents took him out of college and paid a therapist to see him; his sessions made him realize that his anger was stemming from a few things: his strained relationship with his family and his inability to realize what it truly was he wanted to do in life; he didn't want to be a copycat of his half siblings and live in their shadow.
He left Indiana for New York to stay with a friend who opened his apartment to him; afterwards, he got himself a job as a server at a nearby bar and restaurant. After two years of working there, he got promoted to assistant manager after his predecessor, Daniel, became the new manager and no one stepped up to the position.
Love Life:
Ridley was never lucky when it came to love; he had a few crushes in high school, only for nothing to become of them. Soon after he started his job in New York, he met a girl named Katelyn who was a actually a regular at the bar long before he started there; the two hit it off and a few weeks later, they began dating casually, despite Ridley having no experience with love and relationships at all. months later, she dumped him during Christmas when he left to visit his family and soon afterwards, began dating Daniel, much to his chargin; he has not dated again since.
Personality
Ridley is smart, witty, strong willed and good-hearted. he has a good head for leadership that he inherited from his father and a good sibling to his younger sisters, even if they never became best friends; although he cared for his older sisters, they never cared for him much, which strained their relationship quite a bit; he hasn't heard from them personally ever since they left.
