Human Rayman AU
Note: this is NOT canon to my fanfiction PS1DX
In this timeline Rayman grew up in a small town in the Forest of Light. He was created by Betilla the Fairy and she raised him from a new born all the way into his early teens.
Rayman 1 Arc
At 13 years Rayman is sent on a quest to defeat Mr Dark. On the way he meets some friends like Bzzit, his rival Raymesis and discovers the identity of Mr Dark who was a man named Dusk. In their final battle Mr Dark kidnapped Betilla and tried to use the Great Protoon to rule the entire world but in a last ditch effort Mr Dark fought back and it opened a vortex sending Betilla and Mr Dark into another world
Rayman was left all alone. He had gotten the Great Protoon back but now his mother was gone and so he spent many days and many nights waiting for her to return. The rest of the Nymphs also had to leave for some time look for their sister
Great Eacape Arc
It'd been a year since Betilla's absence and during that time Rayman made some new friends like Globox and his wife Uglette and their 3 children. They offered a Rayman a place to stay while he figured things out. He also met who would become the love of his life, Ly the Fairy. Rayman also met Clark, Sam the fish man (kinda like Triton from Marvel) Carmen the mermaid and Murphy.
Disaster struck when the pirates arrived and took over most of the world. Razorbeard is half human half robot and for the next several months he put Rayman through hell causing him to fight his robot henchmen everyday. By the time him and Globox escaped, Rayman wasn't the same he had grown cold and vengeful. So people like Ly had to be the voice of reason and steer Ray towards the light again.
The story of Rayman 2 plays out as it did in canon but with some new elements added like Raymesis teaming up with Rayman to take down the pirates. In the end the pirates were defeated and peace returned to the world once more.
Hoodlum Havoc arc
2 years later the pirates attack, Rayman finds himself needing to fight off Aundrey (not a human in this AU) and his hoard of Hoodlums and needing to remove Aundrey from Globox's body. The story goes the same as canon. Rayman also now wears a hoodie, blue jeans and yellow sneakers.
Rabbids invasion arc
This story arc is more in line with the prototype version of the game so Rabbids invade and Rayman must defeat them and their leader Professor Boronco. But he'd also see that not all Rabbids are bad like Scribbles and Mini Rabbid.
Origins arc
The Origins arc is a mixture between the prototype and main game. For example Ales Mansay is still the main villain but also Mr Dark returns and Betilla and Rayman have an emotional reunion after being seperated for so many years and she's so proud of the young man he's become. In the end Mr Dark and Ales are defeated. Rayman now wears a zip up hoodie and gray joggers which is now his default
Legends Arc
2 years later Ales returns with 5 clones of himself and so Rayman, Globox, Grand Minimus and Goth meet Barbara and the other princess's on their quest and defeat Ales once again. Little did they know Mr Dark was returning stronger than ever.
Darkness Returns arc
In the final arc Rayman and Mr Dark have one final showdown to determine the fate of the world. This leads to 2 endings: Rayman can either forgive Mr Dark and he redeems himself or Mr Dark ultimately dies and accepts his fate. Characters like Ales and Raymesis also have a change of heart. Rayman can now get some rest until the world needs him again once more
