Alright then. Before anyone asks while Selena knowing Richard is pretty much a rip off of Athrun and Kira Richard by no means is like Kira. Except the fact that Richard isn't much like Kira. More than one of his friends went into space. His dad is still around and he wasn't anyone important while his uncle technically is. He's a pilot not a mechanic. He's highly adaptable but only because he's so good with mobile suits. He doesn't like killing but will do so in a heart beat if he had to. He does what he needs to do and will get the job done but he doesn't like betraying his friends. I'd compare him to Loran Cehack more than Kira.
