Personality: Shy and solitary by nature, the guy is also a big softy. Not much of a leader, he prefers to listen and execute orders, questioning them only if they come across his values. And you can be sure he will let you know. His high stature and developed built can make him look a bit intimidating, but getting to know him leads to make a good friend of him. He likes to be with people even though he won't really say so. Growing up on a farm, Ricky developed a strong sense of perseverance and enjoys physical work. He likes to be able to use his body for work.

Ability in Use:
-Lightnings: Richard can create and throw lightnings from his body or from storm clouds. If the storm clouds aren't present, he must create them before casting the lightnings. Although, they lack in precision and are hard to create in large quantity or in a short amount of time. This include rapid fire. His own lightnings can harm him when they come out of his body and if they are coming from the clouds or reflected back at him. Lightnings are also tiring for his body and can cause damages to it if used too much.
-Showers: He has the ability to create storm clouds and alter the water structure, turning it into rain, hail, snow or mist. Though, Hail can harm him and mist will make it hard for him and his allies to see clear. The mist can be used as camouflage and Hail as small and sharp projectiles.
The quantity of ice/snow/hail/mist vary in function of the size of the area he wants to cast it. The bigger the area, the less of rain/snow/etc there will be.
Strong Winds
This ability is the most easy for him to use. Less tiring for both his body and mind, the strong gusts of wind can be used as a "weapon". Primarily used to blow things away such as object, obstacles and enemies, he can also use wind for short time flight. It can be useful, but being tall and heavy, using winds for flight is really exhausting and so, he can not stay in flight mode for a long amount of time
Background: The gift of weather control was given from generations trough the ages, mostly seen active in women for no appearing reasons. During the early years of the old MacKintosh clan, the ability to control the winds, rain, hail, lightnings and other meteorological events was considered as a gift from the gods. A benediction to help the inhabitants of Scotland. But when the religion of the unique god came in, this gift was considered as a mark of the devil himself. And so, to avoid any bonfire where witches would be burned, this gift was hidden as much as possible in a hope that it will stay in the family only. But in the end, this secret was forgotten as the MacKintosh clan spread across the world and divided itself. Only a few still know about them for it has been conserved by some of the clan's members.
This is where Richard appears in the story. The baby's cry would unleash heavy rain and lightnings for a very short moment, but it didn't occur all the time. His ability remained calm for several years until he was 7 years old. In the school yard, he would hide with friends and create little clouds of rain. These unstable little things would fall into water after a mere 10 seconds. He was later caught by a teacher who quickly contacted his parents. It was hard for them to believe this. A teacher would say that their own son would make little raining clouds. Of course, it sounded impossible. Impossible until he decided himself to show them. Shocked, maybe a bit scared and amazed, it didn't take much long that the family was informed. And having a very big family doesn't make it easy when you have an unusual talent. Some of his cousins didn't even want to talk to him, but others didn't seem to see it as a problem. His grandmother was especially receptive, almost happy about it. Because she knew. She was one of the few members of the now dispersed MacKintosh clan who still knew about these special gifts. In fact, one of her great cousins had a similar talent. She was there for him trough the years. A year later, Richard and his parents moved on a farm. With all the hard labor, he became taller, stronger but also more lonely. His parents were sad that he would never bring friends home. But hopefully, his granny was always there for him.
She was really helpful during his early teen age years, when youngsters are trying to find themselves. She would remind him that what he could do was no reason to feel less about himself. He should see it as a gift, not a curse. Later on, she talked to him about an agency she heard about. A place where he could find his path. Where he could learn more about his talent and how to master it. With all that he heard for his gran, this "gift" he had, could also be something risky and dangerous, and he knew he had to know how to master it.
After he contacted the agency, he packed some of his stuff before leaving. He knew it was the right thing to do. He could feel it. Richard was heartbroken to leave the ones he loved behind, but he couldn't show it. He had to stay strong.
Ambition: Richard seeks to be able to master his power completely so he can help people and be accepted in society. He wants to prove that people with "talents" are not freaks and should be considered as equals and make his family and his clan proud.
Specialized Skills: Meteorologic empathy. He has an accurate instinct when it comes to weather. He can feel when a storm is coming, just like how birds and other animals are moving away in large group before a natural catastrophe is about to happen.
Hobbies: Drawing is his favorite hobby. As soon as he has some free time, he draws in his sketchbook. He can seriously sit down a whole day and work on a drawing. Also a comic book optimist, he had boxes full of DC and Marvel comics that unfortunately, he had to leave back home( he miss his comic books so much). Wonder Woman and Storm are his very favourite.
Richard also enjoy physical work such as working out, jogging, gardening, bicycle/etc...
