So. The artist/roleplayer/person-behind-the-computer-screen was having a dilemma. He was feeling a disconnect... Xanaomin's grown too dominate/cruel to be considered his fursona, and Oren, too different. So after some meditation and inward seeking... He decided that the best way to portray himself would be a mountain lion.
And thus, Richard was complete.

Now don't worry, Oren and I aren't going anywhere! Richard just needed his own non-human face to have, heh.
