COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

The Jazz Hands refer to Richardson as Hendricks "Richie 'Eat the Rich' Rich" Richardson.

Life and Curses

Hendricks was a destitute professor who spent decades studying economic systems and writing papers assailing capitalist structures. On his 70th birthday he was attacked by a Trustchild, a rabid and privileged creature that hunts the poor by the light of the Gold Moon. This scarred Richardson's credit identity with the Curse of the Funded Trust, permanently giving him access to billions of dollars, and turned his withered body into the monstrous hybrid he is known as today.

After being traded to the Sunbeams, the Hellmouth cursed him for his wealth, transforming him into a giant, non-humanoid dragon. Despite now being a literal, fire-breathing dragon with molten gold for blood, Richardson's blaseball performance only improved a small amount.

Transition to life in Hellmouth

Richardson and Sigmund Castillo became fast friends, due in part to both being new residents of the Hellmouth. When asked about the blooming friendship, Richardson began a lecture about Castillo being a wonderful example of a community governing itself, calling Castillo his "lair buddy".

Outside their blaseball career, Hendricks still maintains a keen interest in participating in academia and educational outreached focused on capitalist critique. Their new draconic form has posed some logistical issues[1], which they have mostly overcome with assistance from teammates (detailed below).

Hellmouth Community College has been asking Richardson to become their new economics professor since his move, but Richardson has instead been wandering the desert in order to teach the native flora and fauna about communism. His sessions have become very popular with the local cacti. Fellow lineup players Lars Taylor and Nagomi Nava will occasionally be seen at Richardson's lectures, transcribing them for Hendricks to later submit to academic journals[2]. The transcriptions are then, reportedly, sent to Sandoval Crossing for proofreading, who then submits[3] the completed papers at the Community College on their way from their apartment to the Stadium.

Richardson's new reptilian anatomy has made them a fan of basking, a hobby enjoyed by many ectothermic entities around Hellmouth. Their team-mate Zack Sanders runs a blog reviewing ideal sunbathing spots around Eastern Utah, which the two love to discuss in the locker rooms before games.
