History:
Ray was born and raised in a mining community in northern China. This community actually lived in the mines it worked. The citizens lived a hard life illuminated by dim lanterns that shined weakly through the ever present dust. The people of this community rare saw the sun. Instead they spent their lives mining for the measly wages they needed to survive. Consequently, the people of this community all had pale skin from a lack of sunlight; they also have uncanny night vision and are adept at navigating in the dark.
Ray’s family was one of the poorest in the village, they had been plagued with sickness brought upon by the ever-present dust and had therefore been unable to earn their wages. However, this family still held big dreams, dreams of escaping the confines of the mines. The family was blessed with a son; a child that they vowed would not live out its lives in the mines. They brought the newborn baby out under the sun, sacrificing a whole day’s work to give it a few minutes of the sun’s warmth. The tiny infant reached its hands towards the burning ball in the sky as it was spirited away back down into the depths of the mines.
Ray grew up in a constant state of hunger and exhaustion as he worked in the mines. However he was a strong worker and brought money into the household and food to the table. Ray’s parents secretly hid a stash of money that accumulated into a small fortune over the years. Using this stash, they arranged to have Ray sent from the mining community, across the wide expanses of China’s land, over the blue seas to the island nation of Japan. There he would live and get an education.
However, since his parents had never left the community, or their parents before them, Ray was ill informed about life outside of his home. He did not know about the luxuries common to an average person’s life, only a few rumors that floated down into the mines every now and again. Rays adventure into the “real world” would teach him many things, and Ray, while ignorant, had a bright mind and is able to learn much about his surroundings with but a glance.

Personality: Ray can be best described as Naïve. The smallest things excite him and awe him. However, he has a happy-go lucky attitude that causes people to gravitate towards him despite his odd complexion. His cute face and foreign appeal has attracted many girls, but Ray has little interest in the opposite sex, for now. What he is interested in is Air Treks. Ever since Ray saw Air Treks, he had dreamed about using them to get closer to the Sun. Ray LOVES the sun, he loves laying in it, looking at it (his eyes have become accustomed to both bright light and dim light) and especially feeling its warmth on his skin. Ray is also a bit of a clean freak after spending half his life caked in dust. Ray is pretty much OCD towards keeping his stuff, and the things around him, dust-free. He almost always has a duster in his pack, and has many more in his apartment at home.

Road: Flame Road

Road Description: (Only needed if you make a custom road)

Team: The Sun’s Bright Shadows, AKA Bright Shadows

Custom AT Modification:
SunSpot: Ray’s AT’s harness the heat gained from friction to power powerful light filaments on the bottom of his AT’s these create an underglow effect while he is riding. However, when his AT’s are lifted, they act like an extremely bright spotlight. When combined with the Flame Regalia, many say they have the brightness of the sun, others say they are ever brighter. Ray uses his AT’s to blind opponent’s at the most inopportune times. When Ray obtains the Flame Regalia, these AT”s will be modded to harness the flames to power the spotlight to much a higher brightness giving it the power to even hurt eyes through closed eyelids.
Without Regalia: blinds for 1 post.
With Regalia: blinds for 2 posts/1 post through closed eyes.

Signature Tricks:

Flash Dash: Ray dashes ahead of the opponent, then he lifts his back leg, shining the spotlight directly into their face. This will blind them for a little bit, but he is fairly off balance.

Sun’s Rays: Ray starts to spin, then lifts a leg, illuminating the area and blinding anyone who looks at him.

Goal: To gain the power of the sun by obtaining the Flame Regalia mixed with his own modifications.

Original character, most definitely! Interesting idea of combing normal ATs with Regalia to make one pair of ATs, just know that that's not a very common thing so don't expect to make a lot of characters that can do that. Also, it's nice to explain how your character got into ATs in the first place in the history, especially a rare character like him, but it's not that big of a deal.
