Team REIN

-Going to just write down stuff about each individual member, because I really need to solidify things.

Ray Day:

-Ray Day, the leader of team REIN.  Ray’s from a royal family back in Atlas, the Day family is a group of incredibly powerful hunters.  He has some big shoes to fill in, but his family isn’t exactly the most willing to let him try.

-Ray often struggles with leading, but has Gale as his ‘deputy’ for hard decisions.

-He’s 6′5 ft tall.

-His freckles glow at night.  It’s a common Day physical feature.

-His fairy-tale is the Lindworm, but he takes obvious parallels to Apollo and Helios.

-His weapon, Gilded Hyacinth, is a reference to Apollo’s flowers.

-The team will often use Ray as a battery for electronics.

-Ray has woken up a few times covered in peoples’ scrolls.

-The Day family is a set of famous hunters back in Atlas.  They have sun-based semblances typically, and are highly regarded as efficient hunters throughout history.  The newest heirs to the title are Ray and his twin.

-While Ray is technically the older twin, everyone regards him as the younger ‘bastard’ twin that they didn’t want.

-Ray’s sigil was altered by the family, after discovering his terrible semblance, so he wasn’t allowed to have the ‘true’ family sigil.

-Ray’s twin brother, Voski, is the younger twin.  He remains in Atlas with the rest of the family.

-Ray was banished from the family when he wished to attend Beacon instead of Atlas.  

-Ray upon becoming a successful hunter, has been called by the family to return.  He has yet to reply.  He doesn’t want to deal with them.

-Ray’s semblance has serious backlash if not expended properly.  It results in a burn-to-touch monstrosity, Ray’s little secret, as he has trouble controlling the more powerful side of his semblance.  It’s a horrible transformation he avoids.

-This also leads to intense fatigue if not monitored.

-Emi’s helped him learn to love and accept that side of himself, starting to use it more in battle as he isn’t ashamed of using it.

-To avoid issues, Ray typically carries around extra batteries to charge when he needs to relieve energy.

-Ray is in a romantic relationship with Gale.

-Ray is bisexual, panromantic.

-Ray will die for anyone who’s just nice to him.  The man invests so much in people who believe in him.

-Iris is responsible for his clothes, as he arrived in less fancy clothing.  She thought it was rude his family didn’t properly dress a prince.

-Ray wants to be a teacher one day maybe, he really enjoys inspiring little hunters/huntresses.

-Ray has a one track mind with getting the job done, but once you get him to laugh he’s immediately distracted.  It’s why he loves Gale so much.  He gets him to calm down when he’s stressed out.

-Ray has encountered his brother while travelling with Gale, and proceeded to conquer him in a duel of honor.

-Despite Voski’s suggestion, Ray decided not to slay him, and left him.

-”Tell your parents I’m never coming back.”

-Ray prefers to fight up close with his pole arm, and often will aim it at an enemy’s face to fire a few potshots at a target.

-Ray sings like a Baritone with Gale, when asked.  He’s not very good at it, but he likes to humor Gale with singsong responses.

-Ray likes to collect things he just ‘likes’ when they travel.  All the houses they own are covered in rocks, weird trinkets, stuffed animals, and numerous other ‘random’ collections that Ray likes to bring home.

-He really has a passion for collecting stuffed animals, as he never was allowed toys as a child.  Gale enables him even at this age.
