You're calling him "Richard"? Oh dear. UK Elephants bf's name is Richard, and I'm sure UK would declare him a very sweet roommate indeed. Would you consider changing Sir Ulcer's name? How about Ulrik?
The name is a horrible, horrible joke. The Earl of Ulster is a secondary title for the Duke of Gloucester. So Richard, Earl of Ulcer is a terrible parody of the official title of Richard III before he ascended to the throne of England.
