Rayden Traen

Name: Rayden Traen
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: July 17th
Sexuality: Bi
Special Characteristics: N/A

Personality: Over the top and extravagant, Rayden pushes himself to be the best he can be. With a strong forward drive, he is constantly looking to improve himself be better in the future. Whether it be in combat, magic, or something irrelevant like cooking, he always seeks to be the cream of the crop. This underlying desire comes from his goal; to be a legendary hero. Above all else, Rayden seeks to be a living legend; someone that people would look up to and aspire to be like. While it is a very vague and lofty goal, Rayden likes it that way, using that aspect to push himself in every regard. He doesn't have any set finish line for himself, nor does he have any sort of clue when he'll reach what he considers to be a "hero", instead preferring to notice it one day when he has already achieved it. He constantly boasts about his future and his goals, and won't let anyone convince him otherwise.

Rayden is a free spirit. Carefree and wild, he does whatever suits his fancy and lets little hold him down. He tries to always move with the flow, not one to follow a set plan or routine. He can be quite frustrating to work with because of this, often making important decisions or strategies on his own and sometimes not even following his own work. He puts a great amount of trust in his senses, and believes that he can naturally make the best decisions on instinct alone. There is almost a constant aura of joy and cheer around him, and few have seen him get upset or angry. When he does get upset however, he is very vengeful, and will always hold a grudge. Forgiving to an almost naive extent normally, once his trust is broken completely it can never be reforged. He is protective of those around him, viewing it as his responsibility to defend everyone that he can. He does have a mischievous side to him, and will often try to prank or trick others, but his jokes tend to fall apart before fooling anyone, and he is a terrible liar to make matters harder.

In combat, Rayden remains just as carefree and wild as normal, constantly changing his style and techniques against his opponents. He looks to continuously confuse and befuddle his opponents. He is not one to stick to a set plan, and even when convinced to follow one he tends to add his own "twist" to them in every way. While he does enjoy working with others and fighting together, he can be incredibly frustrating to work with. Not only does he not like to plan or coordinate, he constantly tries to take the lead in the fight and do everything by himself. Rayden is capable of dedicating himself to a superior, usually someone he recognizes as a hero, and will do everything he can to help them, though even they would struggle to get him to follow orders. Rayden himself tries to lead others through example, going to the front of the fray and trying to get others to follow him and boost their moral.
Likes:

• People; At the core of all of his desires, Rayden wants to help and care for people. Due to this, he loves being in others company and working together. He can be somewhat annoying because of this, but he always means well.
  
• Competition; Another strong driving factor for Rayden is his inner competitor. He always seeks to compare and match himself against others, using it as a method to gauge his progress and try to improve.
  
• Nature; Often times, when Rayden is nowhere to be found he can be found laying in the grass or resting beneath a tree. Growing up in near a forest, Rayden finds the outside comforting and relaxing to him, and is very big about protecting nature where possible.
  

Dislikes:

• Greed; One of Rayden's biggest qualms is when people take much more than they need. He views greed as an epitome of a villain's desires and as a hero detests it entirely.
  
• Liars; Rayden puts his faith into anyone and everything he meets, and as such is very easy to lie to. This causes him to be extremely angry when that trust is broken, and gives him a strong dislike towards anyone who lies to him.
  
• Water; Rayden has always been a weak swimmer, and struggles to even keep himself afloat. Because of this, Rayden dislikes getting wet or dealing with what in general outside of bathing.
  

Motivations:

• Legend; Rayden's desire above all else is to becoming a legendary hero, which means before all he has to become known by people. Because what kind of legend isn't know by everyone?
  
• Progress; To truly be strong, one must constantly strive forward to both get stronger and wiser. So Rayden is always looking to learn, whether it's from success or failure in any element of life.
  
• To Help Others; Finally, like any proper hero should, Rayden wants to try and help anyone who is suffering. To protect everyone around him, as well as be an example to others, he goes above and beyond.
  

Fears:

• Heights; Rayden is not a big fan of heights, not having any real reason outside of the knowledge taht he has no way to save himself if he falls.
  
• Major Injury; One of Rayden's biggest fears is to die early, leaving him unable to accomplish his goals. With such lofty ones before him, any type of injury as well could force him to retire and spend the rest of his life never have achieved them.
  
• Water; Although it is more of a dislike than a fear, once Rayden starts to swim or is left around a large body of water it grows enormously, his fears taking over his normal senses and changing it into a whole new fear.
  

General Appearance

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 162lbs
Hair: Red, cut short and combed evenly, long bangs, tied back with a headband
Eyes: Blue
Skin Tone: Lightly tanned
Appearance: Keeping himself in top physical shape is one of Rayden's priorities, and it can be seen easily. His body is very well toned and muscular, despite a generally slender appearance. Attempting to maintain the proper "appearance of a hero", Rayden always dresses somewhat extravagantly, wearing a black dress shirt with blue and gold designs, alongside a long blue cloak designed in the same manner. Various sashes and belts adorn him, as well as a pair of white gauntlets, with matching greaves and shoulderguard, all seemingly overly designed. His pride and joy is his headband, a gift from his father, that he wears almost everywhere he goes.
