High Mastery of Dark Magicks – Richard as a former watcher who comes from a long line of council members has always been aware of the Supernatural and all that it entails. Unlike most watchers he has always had that natural affinity for magic that allows him to wield it in a way many people who have spent many years practicing the craft are unable to He is particularly skilled at spells that involve transfiguration and Illusions which allow them to disorient the enemy. Since India’s death he has engrossed himself further and further in to the dark arts particularly focusing on spells, which will allow him to face the Slayer which he feel will undoubtedly happen. As such he is also capable of using magic when he is at his peak to heal otherwise fatal injuries and to enhance his own physical strength.
Physically Fit – He has always kept himself in shape physically having always been a firm believer that a Watchers duty involves more than just teaching the Slayer theory, or watching her from the side line. Even after he quit his work as a watcher he continued to work on keeping himself in shape knowing that to succeed in his mission to destroy the watchers council. He will have to come face to face with a slayer.
Intelligent – Despite his many flaws the former watchers intelligent have to date shown any signs of diminishing. As expected he is an expert in demonic lore and the occult having spent his childhood in the watchers academy learning about vampires, demons and witchcraft while the other little boys learned about maths and science. He is very methodical and prone to researching something from every angle before allowing himself to come face to face.
Acting Skills – He is a manipulative and sly creature by nature and has mastered the art of manipulating his tone and body language to portray a particular persona to the outside world. The most common of these façade is the closest to his personality before he was driven insane by the magicks and grief. It consists of bookish English gentlemen whose tongue is blunter than you’d expect from a watcher.
Charming and Charismatic – As expected from someone with such fine acting skills the former watcher is extremely charming when he wants to be and often uses it to lure sexual conquests into his best using the pleasure of sex as a temporary way of forgetting what he has lost. In addition to this due to a mixture of charisma and a dark aura that surrounds him when he chooses not to hide it. He generally has no problems aligning himself with demons and Vampires even persuading some to follow him using force if necessary.
WEAKNESSES
Magical Draining – Richard while an accomplished magic user. Who can be counted as amongst the most powerful in the world is still only human. As such his body can only handle such powerful magicks for a limited amount of time before he suffers from what is known as Magical Draining. This draining can come in many forms depending on the level of magic used and the amount of time it has been used in. Minor symptoms of draining include the headaches and nosebleeds suffered by the average Wicca. While more severe draining can leave him unable to use any form of magic at all. The longest he has went without being able to use magic is a week and this was when he was first developing his use of the physical strength enhancing spell as this spell alters the bodies capabilities at the physical level.
Mood Swings – While you might think that Richard is every bit the English gentlemen who has made some bad decisions in life. The truth of the matter is that the combination of grief and black magicks has left his mind in a pretty unstable state. This is usually displayed through quick mood swings, which mean that one minute he can be the epitome of cool, while the next he could be weeping or worse still beating someone to death through the use of magic.
Indecision – Another effect the trauma has had on him is that he seems incapable of making up his mind. One minute he’s the typical villain wanting to destroy the slayer and those like her who represent the side of good. Other times his behaviour is more morally ambiguous with the former watcher prepared to present the girls with vaguely worded hints and warnings designed to help them fight against the latest big bad they are facing, or teach them about the true nature of the watchers council as he sees it.
Arrogant – While a rather through individual who firmly believes in the old saying “Know thy Enemy” can still get himself into situations which are difficult to get out of. This is because he can be exceedingly arrogant and while he doesn’t underestimate the skills of his enemies per say. He is prone to overestimating his own abilities. He’s a bit of a stereotype in the sense that he loves to regale the good guys he’s facing with tales of his own brilliance and scheming giving away information which should never be handed to an enemy.
India – His former slayer and the only woman he has ever loved. Just mentioning her name in his presence is enough to bring the pain of losing her back to the surface and make him feel as though a knife has been tossed in his heart, and distract him enough so he loses all rationality. Insulting her in his presence is enough to earn yourself a one way ticket to a world of pain, while highlighting his own failures as a watcher is likely to make him emotional highlighting the self-loathing he feels beneath the swagger and darkness he presents to the world.
