Richard

Richard is a ghost, and formerly a (human) demon.

Personality
The son of a noblewoman and a court tailor, Richard grew up spoiled, a fact that shows through his proud and imperious manner. Accustomed as he is to getting what he wants, he has a hard time grasping scenarios that don't benefit him. At his best, Richard is terribly charming, well-spoken and bright, with a disarming smile that puts others easily off their guard. At his worst, he is prone to selfishness and fits of temper, his vanity and narcissism often setting him at odds with others.

While proven capable of selfless behavior, his first and last thoughts are often for himself. He has shown a great willingness to manipulate others in order to get his way, often without sparing a thought as to whether his actions are right or even fair. His only perspective in most situations revolves around how they will affect him personally--and consequences are rarely a thought.

Trivia

 * Richard and Ravyn were involved in life, but his unwillingness to address his toxic habits led to their parting. There is a line of people eager to pick a fight with him over the grief this caused, including Teme, Etheridus and Curtiss.
 * Richard has recurring nightmares on a seasonal basis. He once set a room on fire in his sleep.
 * He can be a little swish, often gesturing when he talks, and his voice becomes comically shrill when he's angry, lilting well out of his natural range. His neutral posture has a hand on one hip.
 * Despite being a tailor, Richard is assigned to the mail room instead of the Fashion Department--largely because Etheridus thinks he'd be a distraction, or otherwise interfering with operation.
 * He is hypercritical of clothing-design, and fashion in general. He won't hesitate to share an opinion on what someone is wearing, or if they should be wearing it. As a rule, he hates animal prints and plaid.
