Personality:

Stubborn, cold, hot-headed. That's 3 words to easily describe Rayzen. He is quiet and loud, as he does not actively talk to others, but will respond when talked to. He prefers to do things his own way and does not like nonsense. He often does not think before acting or saying, which causes others to think he is rude. He is neither a leader nor a team-player. He strives to be a better person, which to him, is being more hardworking and honest.

Rather than caring about where he was from, Rayzen thinks more highly of the present, and not the past. Prior to this, Rayzen learnt magic through interacting with a nomadic group that were part of larger organisation. He travelled and stayed with them for more than a year. While he was with them, his closest mates were those near the workbench who learnt a slightly different type of magic as compared to others in the same profession. After all, everyone has different preferences, and it would be silly to judge someone's magic based on their outward appearance. "The ultimate purpose in life is to forge that weapon that you can truly call your own," the blacksmiths say. "Forge your own path," the whitesmiths add. Their creed are in synchrony with Rayzen's view on life.

For his battle strategy, he recalls the words from a blacksmith who was a user of that magic, "Remember, it doesn't matter if you can't see or hit your opponents. Sometimes, it is best to let them come to you." Eventhough it is not one of the greater magic in the world, Rayzen, just like the others from the group, decides to uphold the legacy and verity of that magic. "The more powerful the magic, the greater the side effect. Unlike those lost magic or ancient spells, this is a down-to-earth magic. It starts from the basics, just like any other common magic used by others. This magic that we use can be just as powerful as you learn to know how to use it right. Trust your instincts," his mentor wisely told him. "Knowing how to win with the skills that you have is important. However, it is also just as important to know when to lose," someone else once reminded him. He is not afraid to run when things get dire. Oddly enough, he does not have much magic spells that help him do jobs better, in contrast to his motivations and likes.

As much as he would gladly be a leader of a team, he does not think that he would make a good leader. He would bark orders, but not reinforce them, it would be left to his team members' adherence. Due to the nature of his magic, he prefers his team mates to be independent. He would rather reserve his commands as danger signals instead of suggestions of what to do next. He is not as watchful as he thinks he is. However, his behaviour is actually worse when he is under a leader. Although you can tell him what to do next, he does not like it when others tell him how to do it exactly. Eventhough he will take heed of warnings from a leader, he will always prioritise the action that keeps him alive.


Likes:
+ Hot weather. He even enjoys walking in the desert.
+ Chilling around. Sitting in a dark room alone, he sometimes does this after jobs.
+ Spicy food. It's his usual choice at the pub down the street.
Dislikes:
- Cold weather. It makes him shiver and sleepy.
- People that talk a lot of nonsense in front of him. He doesn't like to be told.
- Last names. "Two names are confusing, just use the given name," he greets.
Motivations:
+ Being more useful. He wants to be able to do many types of missions.
+ Variety. With many choices of magic to be learnt by himself and others, he likes to see this diversity in the world.
+ Craftsmanship. Ultimately, to forge that piece of equipment that is truly his own.
Fears:
- Double mirrors. Looking into 1 mirror is fine, looking into 2 is not.
- Lamp posts arranged along the road. They remind him of a scary story.
- Odd humming sounds. Some strange rare ritual bells can produce this effect.


General Appearance

Height: 1.68m
Weight: 61kg
Hair: Black. Medium length hair, combed to the side.
Eyes: Black
Skin Tone: Light, but darker than usual like shades of tan.
Appearance: Rayzen has a goatee accompanied with some facial hair to give him a scruffy look. His body size is just below average. He wears a grey hoodie, red trousers and black shoes. Sheathed on his leather belt is his weapon, a gun that looks like a scepter, and while he keeps a knife inside his pocket, one cannot be entirely sure how he actually uses them. There are rumours that he is not fully human, but he looks like one, and there is no reason to suspect otherwise.
