PERSONALITY,
Rayleigh is a carefree, easy going, and quick-witted youth who likes to train, make friends and take down baddies. Ray has a passion for just enjoying life, leaving the past behind, and always moving forward without regrets. He is also quite a gentleman and has good manners and an air of politeness. Well...when he remembers. Usually to dense to remember things like etiquette. He's fiercely loyal and values his friends above a lot. He even has a soft spot for young kids and cats but since he's not that smart he tends to go with his gut instinct which makes him impulsive and pretty reckless at times.
Regardless his best trait is his sense of Heroism and Justice. Rayleigh never turns his back to those in need and is always the first lend a helping hand. Despite his cheerful attitude, Rayleigh's temper becomes extremely short at any kind tyranny, oppression or just plain wrong doing. Some may say that his youth makes him reckless and naive which it does at times but he firmly believes Good will always win over evil. With determination that is as strong as a diamond, Rayleigh will never give up the good fight.
APPEARANCE,Clickie Here
Ray is a 6'0 human with tan skin and messy black hair. His body is that of a lean muscle type emphasizing a little more speed than power. Normally wearing gloves, a red vest and tan slacks he some can be seen in some light leather armor like this with shin-pads.
WEAPONS,
- Hands and feet : Thanks to his martial arts training at the dojo, Reyleigh has develop his own form of unarmed fighting that's similar to capoeira and taekwondo styles of martial arts. Pretty much primary means of fighting.
- Iron Jutte A long iron rod with a hook to the side.
- Throwing knives: Four throwing daggers wrapped around his left leg.
- Shuko : special gloves with small hooks in the palms. Normally used for climbing flat surfaces, They also can used for attacking.
ITEMS,Unless in his hometown Kakariko, Ray often travels with a knapsack full with a lantern, bedroll, flint &steel, rations, and an a small hourglass. Also has a pair of light leather shoes and gloves for when not in battle. There's also a ring that he wears around his neck. He has had for as long he can remember and seems to be the only link to his past and who his parents may be.
ABILITIES,
- Sudden Counter - When fighting in hand to hand combat, Ray knows how to use his heighten speed to dodge and attack in one swift motion blinding speed. In LS mode- he completely avoid one physical or magical close range attack without moving out of range and counters with a point blank roundhouse kick dealing moderate damage. Three post cool-down and the attack has to be melee and seen coming.
- Quicken - If it weren't already obvious, Rayleigh is quite fast for a human. When pushing himself becomes faster than most horses despite uneven or rocky terrain; Of course long sprints can leave him quite winded. When in LS mode, he can use this ability to gain an extra action slot with a cool down of three posts
RACIAL ABILITIES,
- Cat's Grace - Most likely due to his Minish (Mountain Cat) heritage, Ray has greater balance and dexterity than most humans. With his shuko he climbs up almost any surface with relative ease, his reflexes are deceptively quick , and his sense of balance and movement would make most Olympic gymnasts jealous. (passive)
HISTORY,
There's not much known about Rayleigh and his early childhood, not even to Rayleigh. You see while crossing a dangerous mountain range, a young eight year old Rayleigh and his family was caught off guard by a storm. In the midst of the storm the cart becomes torn apart and the half with Rayleigh falls down a ravine while his parents and older sis could watch in horror. From what could only be described as a miracle blessing from the gods Rayleigh survives the fall with only a head injury, a concussion basically. The bad side to this is the blow to his head made him lose his memory.
Knowing absolutely nothing about himself, and clenching a necklace with a ring on it; Rayleigh wanders until he is out of the mountain range and ends up in Kakariko Village. While at first dumbstruck by the child's random appearance, they take him in as one of their own. For the next couple of years Rayleigh enjoys life in the village. During his time there he becomes quite the avid mountain climber showing great balance and agility as well as becoming one of the fastest sprinters in the village, making him able a good candidate for a delivery that needed to go to Hyrule.
Unfortunately this delivery did not go so well as the caravan was attacked by bandits. Rayleigh try to fight them off but without any real fighting ability he was too weak to do anything. In fact the reason he did not die that day was the intervention of a young Gerudo woman. This woman was a nomad who happen to be nearby. With great skill and strength she took care of the bandits and saved Ray's life. With that Ray became enticed with the older woman's fighting capability. So enticed he begged her to make him her pupil. While originally against the idea the woman agreed to become the boy's master after remembering the boy's courage.
For 4 years she took him under her wing and watched him grow stronger with each passing month. Rayleigh trained in various fighting techniques and weapons. While he show great proficiency with long weapons like bo-staffs and spears, he preferred his hands and feet. His master did not understand this much but she did encourage it to see how far he could go which much to her surprise fitted him very well. Once he turned 17, the woman decided to let Rayleigh continue on his own believing there was nothing more she could teach him. While Rayleigh was sad the only mother figure he ever had leave, he would make her proud by becoming the most skilled warrior he could be.
For the next 2 years, Rayleigh has honed his fighting style in Kakariko by training against bandits, monsters and even some gorons. Once he turned 19 he decides to use his new found skill to help other people who may be in distress. Since then he's set his eyes on joining the Hyrule Militia believing it would be the best way to help the people of the Kingdom and its princess.
EXTRAS,
- Becomes pretty weak-willed around attractive women. An attractive and manipulative woman can easily have him wrapped around her finger.
- Bit of a chatterbox.
- Pretty good freerunner
- Loves Milk.
