Richard wasn't always as rich as he is now, and that occasionally shows. Even though he now wears almost exclusively suits, he never looks totally at ease in one. Not the way that Jameson does. He's a farm boy at heart, far more comfortable in a jumper and shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His clothes are always well tailored, flattering, somehow covering his slight discomfort in them. His clothes are always spotless, no matter what he's been doing, and it's a trait he's always had. He usually wears dark colours, even his ties are always a muted colour. He always carries a gold pocket watch, a gift from his father, as a reminder of where he came from.
There's something handsome about Richard. He mightn't be the striking, gorgeous type that Jameson is, but his bright blue expressive eyes draw people to him. At 5'11", he's only a tad taller than average, but was the shortest in his family so it's something he's conscious about. He's got a few scars from farm work, notably one long gash along his arm from an accident on the farm. He's stronger than he looks, thanks to the years of farm work.

Richard is so unassuming that many just look right past him. He's quiet, preferring to sit, watch, and listen, learn about the people around him instead of talking, trying to schmooze everyone into falling in love with him. He's jokingly referred to as "the brains of the operation." Which isn't exactly true, but he's the cool to Jameson's hot, he's the balance that is so often needed. He's a gentleman and always has been, and has never forgotten his humble beginnings. He's kind to everyone, no matter where they're from or what they do, something that often raises eyebrows. He's charming in a quiet way, the type of man who knows the value of meaningful gifts instead of just something expensive, the type of man to ask you to dance when he gets you alone instead of a bravado gesture in front of all your friends. Compliments flow off his tongue without him even really thinking about them, and he means every single one of them. He's a romantic at heart.
But despite this cool demeanour, Richard has a jealous streak a mile long and a temper that burns red hot when it does eventually burn. He's not the luckiest in life or in love, and he's been known to make the odd rash decision when it comes to love. He seldom means any harm, but he gets wrapped up in the moment and does stupid things. If he isn't doing stupid, crazy things, then he's not doing anything at all. Sometimes, when it comes to love, he's just so afraid of being unhappy, of getting hurt, or worse, causing pain, that he just won't do anything. This isn't just in his love life either, though. He's okay with people taking the credit for his work if it keeps the peace. He's okay with being behind the scenes, not getting that much credit, because it's easier than causing trouble and potentially having things backfire.
tugs at the sleeves of his suits - crunches ice - looks after books with immense care - excellent dancer - bites his nails when he's nervous
champagne - fresh fruit - animals - the fresh air - gold - tea - old books - the piano
ale - suits - being trapped inside - lilies - the smell of smoke - obnoxious people - hypocrites
the thought of being alone forever terrifies him more than he could ever admit. he's afraid of being paralysed or being chronically ill. he also really hates heights.

Richard's birth parents had met young. Both from poor families, they at least had the farm to their name, and the farm was actually relatively successful, they lived a somewhat comfortable life. They married at 16 and along came Richard two years later. He was five when his father died, and everything changed. Richard stayed in school, but every free moment was spent helping his mother with the farm. A formidable woman, she was respected and admired, and nobody would dare cross her as a businesswoman. They got by, just the two of them. Richard left school at 12 to help his mother with the farm full time.
He was sixteen when she met a rich businessman. He fell in love instantly- she took slightly longer to convince. But after almost two years, she agreed to marry him, and their life changed again. They suddenly had more money than either of them knew what to do. She refused to give up the farm, and he was okay with that. He started training Richard to follow in his footsteps, teaching him everything he knew about business. Despite his limited education, Richard showed a surprising flair for it, taking after his mother. His step-father introduced him to another similarly minded young man- Jameson Gatsby. Richard wasn't involved in all of his pursuits, but they became friends.
Richard had returned to the farm for a brief spell to help his mother when Jameson declared that he was to be married. His wedding was going to be the largest, most extravagant, most glamorous event the world had seen. Even America couldn't handle it, so Jameson took to the seas. Richard quietly thought it was all a little over the top, but Jameson had the money to spend. And so they went to the aptly named Dreamer for his wedding. And that's where Richard met Georgia. She waltzed into his life, on the arm of Jameson, and Richard knew that he was in deep.
