## Appearances

### Debut

@EndomNRichardRP (As Richard P. Johnson), @PIFONTOBUTRP (As Richard Lewis)

Richard was naturally an already pretty cold and short-tempered individual, but his transformation into a living weapon made it worse, it actually numbed most of his emotions and morals, allowing him to focus better in fights, but making him a heartless and sadistic monster in the process.

While it was possible to get along with Richard after being nice to him for a little while, but now that he's a living weapon? It's hard to become his friend.

Appearance-wise, Richard looked like a pretty normal grunt, although he had clothes and accessories that made him stand out, mainly his dark green sunglasses with a small lime tint on them, there was also his grey (it appears light blue on the picture because it looks nicer) jacket with dark parts, and his dark green gloves.

Now though, he looks scarier and more edgy, donning a dark grey cybernetic skull mask with grey teeth and red eyes to hide his disfigured face, he also wears an opened black and red jacket with a hood, a white shirt, armored gloves with claws, and black shoes with dark grey parts.

His weapons of choice are two shotguns that he dual wields, the shotguns are customized to be overly powerful at close-range.

He has a Portable Improbability Drive inside his brain, which allows him to use an ability similar to that of the Auditor, the ability to turn into smoke at will to avoid attacks of any kind, the only way to harm him are to either use electricity, or to catch him by surprise.

## Lore

Richard was once a janitor working for the Agency Against Hank Wimbleton (A.A.H.W. for short.), he never thought about killing people so it didn't bother him too much, he actually didn't have anything against Hank, he just needed a job, and this was his only opportunity.

Fast forward to April 7th 2021, he was having a pretty shitty day, and as he was getting close to the end of his shift... Hank invaded the building he was in, and tough luck for Rick, he was cleaning a room with a bunch of explosives and inflammable matters, he continued to mop the floor, praying that Hank wouldn't find him, and he heard a gunshot coming from outside the room.

While the gunshot went through the door and missed him, he quickly realized that this was more unlucky than anything, since the gunshot had hit a grenade, before he could even drop his mop and open the door to flee, the grenade went off, and the other explosives followed, disfiguring and killing him.

Of course, this should be the end for him, but The Auditor had enough of Hank's shit, so he decided to launch a new program to kill Hank, a program where live and dead subjects would be experimented on, it was called "Experimented Weapons To Kill Hank", or the E.W.T.K.H, and Richard was one of the dead subjects taken for those experiments completely randomly.

This program is the same that caused Scrapeface's existence. (I would like to precise that this is a headcanon.)

A lot of experiments were done on him, the scientists had been tasked to replicate the Auditor's abilities to a less powerful extent, and they were going to try... They placed a Portable Improbability Drive in his brain that was programmed to numb out his emotions and morals to turn him into a cold and fearless killing machine, although they didn't numb them out enough, and it was also programmed to give him the ability to turn his cells into a matter similar to black smoke, Richard, who was impossible to recognize, was nicknamed "PROJECT SANG", sang being the french word for blood.

The engineer building his equipment was called Engie Flintlock, when PROJECT SANG was finalized and released, the two somehow became friends, Richard was also told what he was supposed to do, and he was also lied to a bit to make him want to kill Hank.. He was told that Hank purposefully blew him up, but in reality, nobody even knows who shot the grenade, it was also accidental.

Engie then quickly presented Richard to her friends, Harold Stabson, a knife fanatic, and GRINDBOT V3, a robot she had built and coded all by herself. (Although the coding was a bit bad.)

At first, Harold and Richard had troubles getting along, with Rick being too serious for Harold, and Harold not being serious enough for Rick, but eventually they became buddies, although Richard barely shows affection towards his friends because of the drive in his head.

And now, here we are, Richard is in a squad composed of Engie, Harold, and GRINDBOT (that he nicknames "The Grinder".), and everything is mostly alright.
