the fact that he likes to see the world as simple that makes him interesting and sets him apart from other characters on the show That is a very good point. All the others have any number of hang-ups, and troubled childhoods - Riley is happy and secure in who he is (until the whole Initiative strats falling down around him etc).
And - looking at your icon - the whole 'cowboy character' sort of illustrates that. :)
