APPEARANCE
Raymond stands at 7'3 inches due to Gigantism thanks to a benign tumor that was on their Pituitary gland for longer than it should have been. There's no scar of the surgery, as Pituitary surgeries are done through the nose, but there is a slight scar on their septum from a nick during said surgery. Thankfully though, they have a healthy weight at 224 lbs and a muscular build to go with it. Their skin is dark, and their hair is black, but their eyes are a vibrant teal blue. So really, the only thing Gigantism has really been detrimental to is their fashion.
Their biological is plenty tall, not as tall as Raymond, but thankfully had an oversized jacket made, which just so happens to fit Raymond. They wear a dragon inspired jacket that They got from their grandparents, inspired by their dragon tamer ancestry. On their head, they have a sort of half beanie, with their dreads hanging out the back, but covering the shaved sides of their head and the tips of their ears. Their ears are each pierced, and they honestly forget to change out between all the piercings they have. They usually end up wearing studs and leaving it at that.
It's a terrible pain in the ass for them to find any other clothes, usually ending in the shoes being custom ordered for their size, themed around dragons with a design similar to the jacket they wear, or just plain skater shoes with Mega Rayquaza printed along the sides of them. Their shorts would hang past tThey knees of any normal person, but instead, they’re above the knees like a “proper” pair of shorts should be. For shirts, you'll hardly ever see anything other than the collar, they usually either wear a button up shirt, tank top or no shirt at all.
When it comes to weird traits, on top of their gigantism, vhey have several scars dotting their body from training with their dragon Pokemon, a snaggle canine tooth and a tattoo of Mega Rayquaza stylized and wrapping around the right arm. On the back of their left thigh, They have a Dialga. And on their upper back, they have Latios and Latias dancing in a black and white circle, dew covered trees framing the two.

PERSONALITY
| POSITIVE - Observant - Clever - Adaptable - Unyielding - Independent NEGATIVE - Competitive - Strong-willed - Vindictive - Intolerant - Talkative | Observant - They're always looking around, and even then, they're noticing things when they're really not looking. They hears things odd and pays attention. There's a flicker? They're looking at it. Strange smell? They notices it. All of their battling and their history before Orre conditioned them to pay attention to what's going on around themselves and others. Clever - They're quick on their feet to think up tricks. Whether it be something as simple as a conversation with someone new or setting up skill swaps and trick rooms, they're always thinking of what's going to happen as well as what may happen as a consequence of their own actions. Adaptable - When things in their life fall onto it's head, they just figure out that they need to get over it and figure it out. When a wrench is thrown into their life or their battles, they're quick to patch it up somehow. When backed into a corner, you can expect them to find a way out. Unyielding - On top of being adaptable, they have a strong will in the face of adversity. They don't give up, and they won't be seen faltering in combat. Both them and their Pokemon are conditioned to keep going until you can't go anymore. Independent - Simple. Years of traveling Orre with just their own self and their own Pokemon taught them how to take care of themselves. They actually prefer if they're able to take care of their own self, and learned they are alot more functional when they're not leaning on anyone else. This also applies to how they prefer to handle things though. If they're fixing something and it can be a one person job, they would rather do it by their own hands. Competitive - Ray has an incredibly competitive spirit. They are always finding ways to better their own team and especially themselves, and gets frustrated when they lose because of their own idiocy. Their hobby of training stems from this competitive spirit, and naturally, when they win after putting in the work after a difficult battle, they feels a kind of high from it. Whether the battle was fair or balanced against them. They see 0 fun in being the unfair battler. Strong-willed - Because of their independent nature and despite being as flexible as they are in combat, they're quite stubborn about a certain set of things. Getting out of bed is sometimes way too hard to do, and alot of times, they pass out on their friend and refuse to move. But this can also apply to actually dealing with people. When arguing with them, it's very difficult to change their opinions on Pokemon. Vindictive - When someone wrongs then, they have a horrible tendency to find a way to spit back in their face and get back at them. Recently, and currently, that person is mainly their sorry excuse of a father and the family in Anrui in general. Intolerant - Ray has a surprisingly short bit of patience when dealing with certain people. When they are barraged with any kind of thing they would consider stupid, it takes all of their strength not to hit their head against something or find the nearest pokemon to punch the annoying person across the room. They tend to get angry at these people as well if they don't get the hint that they're already exhausted and done with 'your stupid ass' Talkative - When you DO make friends with Ray, you'll find that they talk, maybe, just a little bit, a teeny tiny wee bit too much. They love to talk to their friends and their Pokemon, and they will ramble on and on without thinking if you let them. |
BACKGROUND
--Trigger warning for Abuse / Neglect / Infidelity--
Raymond was born into a relatively shaky situation, the start of it being that they had bright blue eyes... and neither of their parents present at that time had blue eyes themselves or in their own blood line, both of them having dark brown eyes. They grew up in a bad home environment, never really getting any peace, but not that they would ever remember. When they were three years old, their mother finally got a divorce with her husband, claiming that she couldn't take anymore of his shit. Then the custody war started. The small child grew in Eve, dealing with phone calls from their mother trying to tell them how much she loved 'him', trying to manipulate Ray, they felt. She was the one that left after all, and every time she called, his dad would get mad at them.
This continued to boil over until finally, when they were nine years old, their father started lashing out at them worse than before. The lash out was so bad, that the police intervened after they showed up to school wearing make-up poorly done to conceal the marks. Things continued spiraling from there until, eventually, Raymond was told to pack up what they could and get ready. They were able to fit their whole life into one duffel bag, and when the police came to pick them up, it was just their Fraxure, their duffel bag and themselves.
The closest next of kin that could take them in showed up at just the right time. The DNA tests showed up that their biological father had parents in Orre, and they were willing to sign the papers and take them in, so they moved to Orre when they were ten years old, and from there, things got strange. They were given a better phone, which let Ray stay in contact with their best friend back in Anrui, thankfully, and their grandmother had shown up to the door with some gifts for young Ray.
Orre was a barren place, very few Pokemon and a vast desert with a volcano in the middle, there wasn't much for the youths to do there. If Pyrite town was anything, it was proof that the young in Orre were unruly with next to nothing to do. But with few Pokemon came a surprising tradition. The region was incredibly battle heavy, and their grandmother was going to utilize that. Ray's grandparents saw potential that matched up, even possibly exceeding, their expectations of them, and had brought Ray five more pokemon.
And they all matched the family heritage. Their Grandmother presented them a Dreepy, Trapinch, Deino, Noibat and Goomy. All Pokemon that she had picked up before leaving her visit stop in her old home, Blackthorn, before coming back home to Orre. She wanted to give Ray the best opportunity to grow, as well as keep the rascal out of trouble should they turn out to be anything like their biological father.
From there, Ray went on to battle throughout their stay in Orre. Raymond spent six years total in that country, challenging Mt.Battle to train their body and their Pokemon, attending a battle school to teach them anything they could ever want or need to know, and then eventually challenging the Colosseums. Climbing their way from Pyrite, to Phenac, Realgam and then eventually the legendary Orre Colosseum. A place where elites went to battle. Ray's constant participations in the Colosseums and tournaments had earned them the recognition they needed to gain an invite to Orre Colosseum during their final year in the region.
The battles were hard, but Ray came out on the top of the competition, a team of pure dragons at his back. Ray's confidence was at what could only be described as an all-time-high, and they felt unstoppable. But this happiness wouldn't be forever. Their father had somehow won the custody battle, and at sixteen years old, Ray was forced to return to Anrui. And with their return to anrui, father-dearest confiscated their dragons.
It was tempting to blow that entire building to the ground right there.
But Ray didn't. Instead, they turned their Pokemon over and spent two more years under father's roof, schooling in Eve and incredibly bitter. So bitter that they had immediately moved out when they graduated and moved into their old good friend's apartment, working on getting ready for a trip to Plasma labs to get a Pokemon, their friend ready to go with him as well as pulling some strings to get five random eggs, per his friend's request.
Ray was going to get a starter one way or another, and raise five completely random pokemon to smash the Anrui league and throw it back in their father's face as well as get his dragons back.
