Richard Kimble was born to Ruth and Stuart Kimble. Both him and his younger sister were born and raised in Philedelphia. They were close to their parents and the rest of their family growing up. Richard and his sister Maggie grew up as a very smart kids and they proved that a lot.
He was always more advanced than kids his age due to him studying since he was 4 both with reading and writing. Richard wanted to be a doctor growing up, despite the fact that his dad hoped that he would grow out of it but he never did. He operated on his sister's doll, Chatty Cathy which hurt and upset his sister. That made them grow a part for a while, which put Richard in trouble.
When he was 12 and Maggie was 9 their mom died from Cance. It devestated the whole family, their dad especially, because she was the love of his life. Their relatives came over to help out since that moment. Even more than the family did before.
Richard's mom's death made him even more determind to become a doctor, if that was even possible, which frustrated his dad even more. His dad had hoped that her death would show Richard that being a doctor wasn't a good idea, but the results were not what he expected.
The rest of the family or some of them at least, tried to talk him out of it too but with no luck. Richard and his sister got close again, which he was grateful for of course. Richard's sister was supportive of him becoming a doctor, no matter what.
He and his dad talked about baseball a lot and only ones in a while argued but mostly agreed about it, which was what made them close to the most part. One thing that they didn't agree about the most was Richard's future. His dad always thought that he should be anything but a doctor.
Richard however, disagreed with that. Even if he too didn't trust all doctors but he still wanted to be one. Especially since Richard didn't think that all doctors were useless. He graduated middle school with good grades, and relatively early, and same with high school.
Richard was 16 when he graduated high school, as he got accepted to the best college and med School in US. Richard first went to the army, as a medic but was released early from there because he got injured.
Richard came home from the army when he was 17, almost 18 as he went to college not long after he came back. He graduated with good grades and then packed his stuff, after he was home for a bit. Richard also went to Washington a week before med school started, as he got himself a job and a place to stay. Once med school started he concentrated on his education more, but still worked to continue to pay his rent, so it was hard even with help.
It was in med school that Richard met his first girlfriend, Jean Trabant, with whom he started dating rather fast. Richard and his girlfriend focused both on their education and their relationship. Richard always acted like a know it all, and solved cased fast because he was a bit cocky and show off, as he acted like know it all. He avoided checking things that could be because he was rather using short cuts then doing things the hard way, unlike his girlfriend.
That put him in trouble a lot with his professor and friend, Diana Thayar. Who gave him some projects to do in hopes that he will start doing things the right way but with no luck. Richard always fought himself to out best himself.
Richard and his girlfriend continued dating during that time. He and his girlfriend eventually moved in together, as they lived together for 3 and a half years. After which Jean had enough of him fighting himself to best himself. It seemed to her that he felt like he wasn't good enough, and she broke up with him but told him that it's over because of something else.
Richard moved into a hotel and then into his own place again. He continued to study in the med school a bit longer, even if it was hard on him. Richard then moved to Chicago, where he got himself a new apartment and it was there that he finished his internship and became a resident, and official doctor.
It was hard for Richard but he managed to forget his ex girlfriend and their break up, as he focused on other things instead. He put everything he had into his job, and that was all he cared about. Richard did made some mistakes in the past during his internship in Washington but luckily he fixed those on time before he lost his patients, which he never forgot but tried not to think about. Which Richard always regretted and tried to avoid, especially after he moved to Chicago and finished his internship and became a resident, a
doctor.
Richard avoided the posibility of dating, as he focused all his energy on his job. Richard saw no point to concentrate on dating as he didn't feel like he needed it, and he was better just with his job. If it happened he didn't plan to argue but he didn't think he needed it. If it came it came and if not then not, Richard was sure that he would be fine either way.
He still hanged out with his sistsr and her family, even if a year or so later after moving to Chicago Maggie and her husband broke up, just shared custody over their kids. Richard just helped her raise her kids as much as he could. Once in a while he did run in the park to stay in good shape and be healthy. Richard also played baseball whenever he could, with his own bat but to the most part it was his job as a doctor that matterd to him.
One day he met a young woman named Becca Ross, who slipt on ice. As Richard worked in the ER that day, and she was his patient. They talked and he gave her meds to take in case her ankle bothered her as she sprained it. When he asked if she had a ride home, and turned away from her that was when her sister came. Richard turned to see her sister come in and then he turned towards Becca right when her sister was by her and everything changed.
That was the moment that things changed as he decided that he didn't want to be alone and wanted to be with Becca's sister. Richard tried to introduce himself but his name came out funny due to him being shy and silly, but neither sister judged him.
He then heard Becca's sister introduce herself as Helen Ross. Richard then watched them leave the examining room as he left after them. And once in a while he glanced back to watch Helen and her sister walk away but her the most. He had no idea how to ask her out but he didn't have to, as the next day she asked him out and he agreed.
Since that moment their lives changed as the more they dated the more close they became. Until they became a couple. Some time after they moved in together. However, when she wanted to move he felt emberressed that he didn't have a lot of money so he lied and someone else got the place they wanted, by that time they were already engaged for a month.
Helen found out the truth and he felt that everything was off but she didn't brake up with him but accepted his apology and told him that she was fine with what they had if he was rather stay where they were. Even if Helen always made sure to let him know that she wanted them to have a bigger place but she wasn't mad, not anymore.
They still spend together as a couple. Even if her family, except her sister Becca, never liked them together and tried to get them to break up as they him as a bad influence on her and the worst choice, because he was poor and because he was a doctor which didn't seem like a good job for them, even if it was a decent job.
Helen's dad pretended to give Richard a chance but setting up days to meet with him. However, due to his job he couldn't come, even if he tried to. Her dad didn't believe a word about him being busy with work and all, especially when Helen gave him the message from Richard.
Her dad tried to get them to break up none stop, as did the rest of the family,exept for Becca who was always on their side, and supported them and their relationship, no matter what. They hanged out with her a lot and his sister Maggie too. Unknown to Richard Helen got pregnant from and gave birth to their daughter but he had no clue because her dad made sure of it and after that, she tried to keep it hidden because their child was taken by her father and given for adoption, and she herself had no clue about it either. They stayed together no matter what as her dad continued to try to break them up but with no luck.
They thought that they would be togethet forever, or at least a long time. Like until they grow old and die together. As she got pregnant again but lost the baby so she never told him about it either.
One day they spend time in the park and then she run home as she hoped that he would catch her as he tried but sprained his foot so he just limped back but on the way home he stopped by a store as he got her a flower, as he waited for the change he talked and argued about football, as well as baseball, not knowing that his wife was dying home.
Once he got his change and had the flower he headed back, excited and happy to see his love. However, Richard got attacked by the one who killed his wife.
As Richard struggled with the killer he found out that the killer only had one arm and other one was prostethic. When cops arrived the killer escaped, after taking his prosthetic hand back. The cops talked to him as they got everything they needed to catch the killer, so they suspected he killed her himself, even if it wasn't true.
They left after they got everything that they needed. Richard hoped that the killer would be caught and there would be justice but he was wrong. A few days later the cops came back and arrested him. Even if Richard tried to stop it, but they ignored him and hos pleas to be let go.
They didn't want to release him and believed that he was a bastard and a killer, like some of his family thought and Helen's family, except her sister and his sister, and some of his cousins.
Richard was a year in Jail, and on trial he was found guilty, despite those on his side who tried to speak for his behalf but it was no use. Richard was taken to Juliet to wait to be executed but on the way there a so called accident. The driver was killed but he was fine as was the cop, the same one that arrested him.
Richard released himself from the seatbelt and he stole the keys to the hand cuffs, as well as a gun. He released himself and then got rid of the gun as the cop chased him as soon as he came to. Richard got himself hurt but with help he got better and colored his hair from blond to black. Then he left on his own. Many times he was almost caught but managed to escape.
Richard moved around as he made friends without planning to. Under different names as he never used his own name, he even got temp jobs to be able to survive. He even met a guy named Chuck Brixius who was always on his side, who saved him and helped him.
Richard stayed with the guy during the time he got sick but then left. As he heard that his dad was dying as he went to say goodbye, even if his dad didn't want to talk to him but they grew close again. Richard then left only to read in the newspaper that his father had died, which broke him even if he had the gift his dad left him.
Richard saw killer again and almost got him arrested but he lost him a lot. He helped people around a lot and even got someome to help him clear his name, but they both almost got killed by a bounty hunter hired by his father in law. Despite all of that he survived.
Richard saw the bounty hunter again some time later but then no more after that. During his travels and running he met people he helped. Richard even saved his sister from Luekimia or tried to with his bone marrow.
He then met his sister in law, as they almost cleared his name but no such luck and so
Richard continued to move around to try and clear his name. He never stopped nor ever planned to, until the truth will come out and his name will be cleared once and for all.
