Who is Nick Ritcher?

Nick Ritcher is a charismatic yet terrifyingly efficient functional psychopath from the Popo-City Gang. He's a fictional character of the 11.3-U, the fictional universe of Popo Games Entertainment. It's an universe that replicates our universe but making it 10 times worse. At 21, he is a predator who operates with a selective coldness, allowing him to commit heinous acts while remaining completely unphased.

He's the main character on the videogame The Hangover Butcher, and he's rumored to be back on the next game of Popo Games Entertainment, 'L.L.R.J.'.

What makes him truly dangerous is his "Encore" state: a psychological detachment where he views the world as a tactical playground. In this state, he doesn't just kill; he disassociates so deeply that he can dismember a victim while dancing or humming a tune, showing a total lack of human empathy. He is a "human butcher" who treats murder like a rhythmic performance, making him an unpredictable and unstoppable force of nature in Hollow Greek.

Nick's background

Nick Ritcher was born on Hollow Greek, south Spain, on 22nd October 2007, making him 21 by 2028.

His childhood wasn't a tragedy, not even close. He had a really good childhood, it was the streets that made him that way. On Hollow Greek, Nick Ritcher was known because of his murders and his robberies with the Popo-City Gang, his gang.

When he was 18, on 2024, we played as him on the videogame L.L.R.J., where we can see by ourselves the real side of Nick apart from the charismatic and sarcastic one. Nick killed one of his partners after finding out he was snitching on them.

On The Hangover Butcher which takes place on 27th June 2028, Nick is already 21, and that's the same game where we see him get killed by the government.

Nick cannonically dies on The Hangover Butcher's good ending, where Ritcher and his partners are killed by the Hollow Greek mayor and his team.

On the same game, there's also the bad ending, where Nick survives the government raid and gets locked up in a psychiatric hospital for life, as far as we know. This ending isn't official anyways.
