Hector was taught at a young age that the galaxy is filled with suffering. He greatly admired his father who told him that it is his responsibility to limit the pain he inflicts upon others, especially the pain which he is directly responsible for. Hector does not see himself as a visionary or martyr but he has decided to do what he can in a lawless galaxy. Hector prefers to kill his opponents quickly and mercifully; torture and collateral damage are the absolute last resort in any scenario. This attitude can foster animosity among allies seeking the quickest route to solve a situation or those who take pleasure in the suffering of others.

Hector has developed a bit of a reputation for insubordination despite his military training. He has developed a very present minded focus, willing to alter plans and reallocate resources in order to achieve successes in his operations. This behavior allows Hector flexibility when it comes to adapting to different situations but has a potential to draw the ire of his superiors.

Hector is convinced that his actions serve the greater good for all citizens living in the galaxy. He views war as wasteful but understands that conflict is necessary to avoid stagnation. This conflict must be managed and controlled so that innocents do not suffer needlessly. Hector dogmaticly adhers to his beliefs and will become quickly become defensive should anyone confront him with the idea that he is not as selfless as he believes himself to be.

From travelling around the galaxy, Hector Ricmore has developed a fascination with people and their stories. Seeing them as a puzzle that needs solving, he has developed a good habit for listening and storytelling and hopes to share his own adventures someday. However, his incessant need to be around people to document their stories can come across as irritating and a bit creepy at times.

Hector Ricmore prefers to command and delegate orders to others during combat. While willing to be present on the battlefield from the safety of a land or space vehicle Hector is not comfortable with engaging enemies in person. When forced into such a situation Hector will attempt to talk his way out, so that he can attempt an escape, or at the very least, keep distance between him and his opponent. Hector's skills have not prepared him for melee combat, and opponents who are able to move quickly and attack from close range are almost guaranteed to overwhelm him.

Hector Ricmore vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that he has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place.
