Cloudflier, known to friends as Richard, enjoys wasting his life away here on TV Tropes. Known for his kindness, snarky remarks, bursts of randomness, and general stubborness, he often finds himself getting into unusual situations. His eccentric behavior seperates him from the social norm, something he takes pride in. His steadfast heart of gold tends to be the cause of much conflict between him and those who disagree with his morals. Despite his tendency to clash with others, he is found by many to be quite lovable.
He enjoys spending his time reading Star Wars books, playing videogames, surfing TV Tropes, Role Playing, writing stories, and helping others. While his writing skills are severely lacking, his ideas have great potential, according to his friends.
He has a forum called
Chaos Storm X that tends to go dead every other day.

Tropes That Apply to This Troper
- A Friend in Need: Richard is fiercely loyal. This sets him up quite a bit for getting backstabbed. The upside of this is that helping people in need is usually what is required for pulling him out of his frequent depressions. If the person he helps is a friend, the time until the next depression hits is usually a lot better.
- All Abusers are Male: It was never the women that picked on him.
- Averted in his highschool years; his closest friends are female, and they can be quite violent at times.
- Belief Makes You Stupid: He gets a lot of grief from others for being a Christian. He endures it while making sure he doesn't fall into this trope.
- Blessed with Suck: Most men would love getting attention from girls. Richard does not. It makes him feel uncomfortable. This may partially be due to having autism.
- Butt Monkey: Oh so very much.
- Cannot Spit It Out: It took him a good several minutes before he was able to tell Julianne how he felt about her.
- Chaotic Good: Richard does what he feels is right, regardless of what others may think. This includes any governing power.
- Chaste Hero: He's pretty oblivious to how some girls feel about him. He's begun to catch on, although he still can be pretty blind in that area.
- Chick Magnet: Much to his despair.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: He loves helping others, often at personal costs to himself. The thing is that while Chronic Hero Syndrome drains him dry, it also seems to be what fuels him.
- The Complainer Is Always Wrong: No one likes people who stray from the norm. Richard is one who excels at contradicting what's normal. Although he does tend to annoy people when he complains a bit too much, which is a fault of his. He's acknowledged it and is trying to overcome it.
- Covert Pervert: A bit of an unusual example. He doesn't hide the fact he sometimes thinks about perverted things, but he usually doesn't share said thoughts. When he does, the reactions can be quite humorous.
- Creator Breakdown: Richard had a few of these when some of his friends kept bashing on certain aspects of his work. He recovered from all of them though.
- Deadpan Snarker: Considering his parents' personalities, he was doomed to become one.
- Deconfirmed Bachelor: Describes Richard quite well. He still denies it though for a number of reasons.
- Despair Event Horizon: He has had a few of them, though he's made it past them all so far. He seems to be approaching one far worse than the previous ones though.
- Determinator: He takes a lot of crap in his everyday life, sometimes to the point of emotional breakdown. Even at his worst though, he just doesn't stay down.
- Except when Pike sits on him. This troper happen to know that Pike's pretty heavy. XaJ, however, would make him stay down permanently if she joined Pike to sit on him.
