Dare to compare;; Strengths.
Mathematics:
He's got the brain of a super computer, and uses his vast knowledge of probability to assess all his situations, manage complex matters The reason he's such an all star gambler and superb impromptu fighter.
۞
Quick Draw King:
Fascinated by the Wild West and its gunslinger philosophy, Richard has dedicated years of his life to various firing ranges and hunting lodges where he has attempted to master the art of the quick draw. His results are clearly seen - he can draw and holster his gun faster than almost every man he's ever met, and his target practice has introduced him to some of America's best shooters.
۞
Ruthless:
Defines Richard's abilities as a street fighter. While he is of moderate build and height, his true strength in brawling is that he never lets up and will always hit a man when he is down or vulnerable. He is not against throwing someone out a window; slamming their head in a car door; crushing their face into a hot stove top, or tossing them into a car filled street. He'll punch straight for the throat or the balls and throw his adversary off their feet so he can crush them with his own. He is wildly unpredictable, and coupling that with his acute understanding of probability might be his greatest strength of all.
۞


The cracks I fall through;; Weaknesses.
Reckless
It's safe to say that Richard isn't always the most composed or cautious individual. He is a thrill seeker by nature, and will risk a more dangerous road if he is confident he can run it, which will almost always be the case when he is on LSD. When only himself is at risk he will do anything on a whim regardless of consequence, and because of his unique personality and presence he is easy to pick out of a crowd when he isn't trying to lay low or aware that he's being watched.
۞
Acid Flashbacks
Yeah. Richard's done so much LSD in his day that he may have Acid Flashbacks at random, intimately recreating the hallucinations and sensory flood of any number of his prior trips. They can range from mild to intense imagery, tracers, disorientation, color vibrancy and shifting/ melting textures, and while they never put him out of commission it can be enough to slow him down. They are more likely to occur when his vertebrae have been cracked, as residual LSD is re-introduced to his system.
۞
Sharp Shooting
Whereas many bodyguards and hit men are skilled in the art of long distance shooting, Richard's skill with a firearm is only worth mentioning if his target is between a close and moderate distance away. This has a good deal to do with Richard's obsession with being a master of the quick draw; focusing on the grace and speed of drawing his gun rather than perfecting his aim.

Listen to this;
Richard Statham was born in Wales, but immediately after his birth he was brought to The United States by his mother and father where they took up residence in New Orleans. His upbringing within New Orleans was the basis for his quick fascination with narcotics and violence, and the rush he got from both kept him coming back for more. However, as consistent as these two items were in his life one pass time overtook the rest. Gambling. His father was an excellent poker player, and from the moment Richard picked up a deck of cards his father was teaching him every trick in the book. The one thing that his father couldn't teach him he already had -his incredibly mathematical skills.

By the age of 16 Richard was cleaning out riverboats alongside his father, memories he treasured through young adulthood. He was also working small time with a gang of underdogs. They were disorganized and stupid, and it quickly lost its luster. Richard ditched the crew for another more prestigious group.

When he turned 17 he saw A Fistful of Dollars and Dirty Harry, immediately deifying Clint Eastwood in his mind as the biggest badass in existence. He already had a handgun then, but he quickly dumped it for a gun he felt embodied the sex appeal of firearms, the Colt M1911. Slick and powerful, it became his own modernized version of a six shooter, and he began shooting it daily. Meanwhile, his personal wealth was quietly shooting through the roof, raking in 40,000 dollars on a venture to Canada which he paid for completely on his own. He also paid for the six ten strips of blotter that lined the inside of his jacket.

His father eventually cautioned him against gambling, seeing the large quantities of money and seedy individuals Richard was attracting. He dismissed his father's notion, and continued living as he desired.

It was only after his gambling and drug use estranged him from his family that Richard met the man affectionately dubbed "The Alchemist." This was at the start of his 19th year, and after seeing the mind melting quality of The Ferrow's LSD and the fact that they needed additional security, Richard proved himself to Mr. Ferrow by gunning down a handful of opposing dealers/ chemists with the help of additional Ferrow muscle. The raid boosted The Ferrow business, and earned Richard the trust of The Alchemist. However, he didn't jump to the top. For the next six years he climbed up the Ferrows' ladder, starting as a spotter, then a watchdog, then gang security. He stayed active on the streets as The Alchemists personal eyes and ears, quietly calculating and theorizing where rival gang stores could be while Mr. Ferrow's peers decided on the next course of action.

Richard refused pay in bills. He preferred blotter and cocaine instead. In exchange for their second to none drugs, Richard was as loyal as any soldier could be. He even invested a portion of his own accumulated wealth into The Ferrow family to outfit their business with better weapons and security. This contribution earned him the title of "Bodyguard," Mr. Ferrow's personally selected gunner and the guardian of his family.

As far as Richard was concerned, life couldn't get any better than that. Since Kevin attempted to kill the Davis boys, Richard has been with him a great deal. Whether or not Kevin enjoys his company doesn't matter. Richard doesn't give a ********. For now, business is serious and is staying serious.


My world's far from yours;;
Where Richard goes, eyes follow. He is a suave and cunning devil; charismatic and unreserved as well as incredibly witty. He's got a sharp tongue that makes people listen, and eyes that will scour your head for your secrets. At the same time, part of his mind has drifted away from the logical world into the allure of drugs, giving him a wild and unpredictable element that most gunmen don't have. It can be seen in his social and professional interactions, as well as the way he approaches situations like a bodyguard.

To his friends, Richard is a genuinely insightful yet other worldly fellow. He is generous with his wealth in the company of the Ferrows and their guests, assuring that he makes a good first impression and a lasting image. In the face of conflict Richard grows notably more detached and still, speaking with the cool confidence of a man who's from another world. He finds he carries a strange likeness to Dirty Harry when his gun is in his hand, and the thought fills him with satisfaction.

When Richard goes on his psychoactive ventures, he is notably less stable. While he is even more alert because of his heightened sensitivities, bleeding colors and surreal imagery/ hallucinations throughout his mind and vision often cause him to get lost within himself. He acts and reacts in a manner which defies conventional human behavior, but is complimentary to his own mannerisms in some fashion. As all psychoactive drugs are, they remain a unique experience for each person. Richard's happen to be downright unreal.


Some things gotta stay buried;;
--In North Korea, you may pay 20,000 US dollars to reserve a room, a loaded handgun, and a random male tied to a chair. Richard has rented a room twice. The second time he laughed a little.
--He's infatuated with Victoriana Androv, Melfina Ferrows and Elizabeth Saben.
--Safe to say, he hates Castiel's guts and hopes he gets brained in the near future.
--Clint Eastwood was and always will be his idol
--He carries a set of two Colt M1911s, personally customized for him. The Ace of Spades is etched along the muzzle of the silver barreled Colt. The Queen of Hearts is etched across the black.

To put me in a nutshell;;
Hot Seat Can't Sit Down - Brainiac, This Little Piggy - Brainiac

My only true master;;
