> richard is yet another younger son with bastard energy who becomes duke of gloucester by shady means and has the best monologues ever in which he plans to murder his entire family to gain power

Huh he sounds like my type of character! I look forward to reading about him!
(The REAL question is would he have gotten along with Edmund, or would they see each other as rivals and fight to the death or something?)

(Also I linked the Cassio post but apparently you gotta go back to the original ask post to see the link)
