Richard Young

Richard Young is a supporting character in the War-Beast series and a long-time friend of Cocoa and her "family" - he is also the younger brother of Michael Young (also known as Skates).
==History==
Richard was only 7 years of age when Cocoa and her "family" arrived in Sunny Acres and he was fascinated by them - whilst many of the community shunned Cocoa and her team due to the obvious differences between the War-Beasts and normal humans Richard was always open towards them and in time he helped soften the hearts of the community in general and showed the Cocoa and her team where peaceful and productive members of the community.
When the Metal Emprie attacked he was nearing his 19th birthday yet he bravely stood by his friends and even offered them shelter - however he was ordered to stand back by Cocoa herself after he recieved an injury from a Metal Empire drone, which also alerted his older brother's attention and helped turn him into the vigilante known as Skates.
Luckily the Metal Empire attack was brief and Richard recovered quickly, yet with Pandora and her Elites ordered to stay in Sunny Acres to cause havoc for Cocoa and her allies Richard's life was never to be the same again as he frequently aided the team as much as he could.
It was unsurprising then that when nobody turned up to his 19th birthday party Richard felt somewhat betrayed as his loyalty seemed to be forgotten - yet when the Elites lured him into a trap he revealed that while he felt somewhat hurt he still regarded Cocoa and her team as friends and that they were more "human" than Pandora or her Elites could ever be.. this statement was heard by the team, who had come to rescue him and had a profound effect on them - especially Rayde: who now regards Richard as one of the few humans she can truly trust.
