Erick’s mother was claimed to have passed from illness when he was little more than a child, but as he grew up he felt something was off - - primarily because he came to learn of how destructive his father was. His father’s methods of training him to be an athlete were cruel, often beating him to a point that any strenuous activity was hard to complete. Because of this, along with his father’s clear perverse nature, Erick investigated his mother’s death behind his father’s back. It came to light that his mother actually committed suicide, jumping off a bridge due to what could only be extreme depression. Erick had decided – in his hot-blooded youth – to confront his father about it, and got mercilessly beaten for it - - far worse than he ever had been before. One thing he came to learn of it though: it was his fault.
Life progressed with tension between the two and Erick developed feelings for a girl: Sophie Sonko, whose coach was his own father. He never thought his father would risk his own job to be violent and perverted, but much to his own surprise during a talk with Sophie, he did. And it sent Erick into a fit of fury, so much to a point that the two teenagers broke up and he went straight to his father. Needless-to-say he was beaten again, but it wasn’t before Erick managed to give his adopted father a black-eye. Indeed, a soulless man was the only sort of family Erick could claim to his name, but he didn’t quite figure that out towards the end of high school. He had suspicions of course, given the drastic differences in looks between his mother, father and himself. It took investigation on that front as well to learn the truth, which only built his anger and hate higher for not just his father, but himself as well. The love of his life had been soiled by his own family and he was unable to protect her, his mother died due to his lack of strength as well; he blamed himself for these things despite logically knowing better, how was he to know of either situation until it was too late?
As such, while on the outside he mostly lazy and calm, behind closed doors he was training - - preparing. It would go on for quite a few years, all for the goal of murdering his adopted parent one day. He told no one of his plan, but not just that: he even got involved with the wrong crowd. He had already been involved with Boxing, but the sport wasn’t enough to vent his negative emotions, and he looked to darker methods. Joining a secret fighting organization only known as The Underground, Erick was hired on multiple occasions for his brutality, which was uncommon even in that hidden ring. Still, even that wasn’t enough; as much as fighting was of a stress-relief, there was always the lingering plan to carry out: murder Wilbur Blanco, his father. Whether he will ever carry out the deed or not is left to debate, but so long as the man is alive, so too will Erick indulge in these dark gambles - - far out of the reach of the law. And though he refused to admit it, even when Sophie would question his wounds, it was an attempt to punish himself for his lack of knowledge, strength, and common sense. Had he any of those when they were needed, he felt like two of the most-important people in his life never would have had to suffer the indignities they did.
TLDR: Erick is a man that's trying to find his own path in life, unable to come to terms with all that's happened with both of his parents, he seeks to move forward from all of the wrongdoing that's gone on around him, and all of the abuse he's been forced to endure. His Personas are Wimund/Tezcatlipoca. The element that he utilizes is Wind, his ranged weapon is a shotgun, and his melee weapon is a set of brass knuckles.
