I did once paint everything white at a convention. I can assure you it looks for more Richard like, but it's annoying to paint everytime I wear the costume. This was just a photo shooting in a old ruin with friends, so I didn't care for the paint.
Richard uses everything he wants to kill people.

(A saber in the LFG-Video for example) I'm simply a fan of all cutting devices, so why not combining them?
But to call me a ninja? THat's just cruel
