Name: Raye Anders
Appearance:
History: Raye was a very unusual child. He was very quiet and always calm, unnaturally so. He had the air of an animated doll, like he has no soul to feel emotions and be alive. One of his teachers said this about him "talking to him is like interacting with a shell of a human. He's almost...empty". His classmates back during elementary school felt that "he's not really alive, like he's already dead but still walking". Because of his peculiar nature, he was alienated by most people and grew up quite alone, aside from his guardian Dr. Kail who took care of him. As he grew up, this trait of him eventually disappear, and he became more normal. Even so, he didn't quite grew out of being a loner and still spends a lot of time by himself. His emotions, when he showed them, tend to be mild and he rarely was truly excited.
As an adult, Raye have become quite the kind and emphatic young man. This growth as a person can be entirely credited to his guardian, Dr Kail, who raised him as such. The old doctor always emphasize the importance of empathy and compassion when dealing with people, and that every human life is precious and important, no matter who they are. Growing up helping out at the clinic really impacted Raye. He became more empathic and kind, and he learned to be tolerant and patient with people, though he remained a quiet and mild person.
One evening, his quiet life was changed forever. He was at a train station, on his way home. Amid the bustling crowd waiting for the train, he saw a suspicious man in an over-sized parka, with the hood pulled over his head, concealing his face. He heard the man saying something but couldn't make out what he said; it's all gibberish like he is actually chanting an incantation. He began to turn away and distance himself from the person, but the man suddenly started quivering and twitching uncontrollably, and before his eyes, the man had transfigured into a big, hideous, red-skinned ogre, and started to rampage wildly. Panicking, the whole crowd scampered in all directions, trying to get away from this horrifying beast; some people even fell off the platform.
Amidst all the pushing, Raye saw and old man falling down, having been shoved by other people, and seemed too weak to stand back up. Seeing this easy prey, the ogre stalked over and grabbed the old man with one large hand. At that moment, Raye acted on instinct and foolishly rushed the ogre, hitting it squarely at the back. The monster turned its hairy head towards Raye, with only amusement in its eyes. Realizing something bad is going to happen, Raye ducks, his head narrowly missed the ogre's swung arm. But before he can do anything else, the other arm grabbed him and lift him up. Grinning menacingly, it start to crush him in its grip. Screaming in pain, Raye felt like all the bones in his body was going to break.
And then nothingness. Raye opened his eyes, and he found himself in a very different place. All around him can only be described as nothingness, as nothing exists, there's only whiteness, grey and darkness. Then, a figure appeared in front of him. It has the shape of a man, wearing a neat light-grey tuxedo. Though, the figure's most remarkable aspect is the white mask he's wearing; having the shape of a butterfly painted on it. The figure has his arms crossed and proceed to sit...on absolutely nothing. Before Raye could say anything, the figure waved his hand, and Raye saw a gruesome scene.
It was the train station. Bodies, bloody and broken were piled up. Everyone was dead. He was dead. "At the rate things are going, that is going to be your future." a soft and tranquil voice addressed him. "All human on that platform is going to be slaughtered, and there's nothing you can do. You're the first one to die, after all. And that's not all. Many creatures like the one you witness will emerge, some even more powerful, and they will run the human race to ground. Your world faces inevitable destruction" the voice continued calmly, almost irritatingly so. Again, before Raye could speak up, the voice continued, "But I will give you a way. A way to save all those people, a way to protect them. A way to fight against the inevitable. I will give you power."
This time Raye remained silent. His mind racing at the possibility of being able to avert this horrible tragedy, but he didn't say anything. The figure paused for few moments before speaking up again. "But, in this path, there will inevitably be suffering. Yours. And for the people around you. You will be forced to fight a war with these creatures and their masters, until you have destroyed them all. Or eventually killed by them. Would you accept this life?" Again, Raye remained silent. He began questioning the motives, and true intentions of this strange being. The figure continued its soliloquy.
"Lets consider a third option, then. A future where you will surely benefit." And then, he saw another scene, though it is the same as the one before. Except his own body was gone. Only his own body. "I will protect you from certain death. But only you alone. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to save the others. Or rather, I guess I'm not allowed to." The figure then falls silent, as if musing to himself, and Raye took this opportunity to finally speak out and assert his decision.
"I will fight." The figure raised his head, and you imagine his eyebrows raised behind that queer mask of his. "It doesn't matter if I have to continue fighting. I have been given this opportunity. This chance, to save them. And I can't just run to save myself." He declared in his quiet way, but his resolve was clear to the figure in front of him. "Besides, if I ran away, Damien would have killed me himself." Raye added lightly, as the wrinkled face of the good doctor crossed his mind.
For the first time, the figure leveled his gaze on him, looking straight, as if staring into his very soul. Finally, the figure placed his right palm in front of his face, and spoke, his voice still smooth but now serious and commanding. "Very well. If you have the will to challenge your world's fate of destruction, then rise against the darkness, and bring salvation. I, a Cosmic Lord, shall awaken you to the power that you hold." The Cosmic Lord then hold his right hand out towards Raye. "Face your destiny. And fight!!"
Personality: Raye is a very private person, and not usually seen in a lot of company. Not out of any hatred or malice against other people, he's just had become accustomed and comfortable with solitude, but is quite gracious and polite if anyone tried to approach him. That said, even though he is a kindhearted and amiable person, he has trouble with forming new bonds and relationships with other people. No one has ever become closer than just "good friends" with him, with the exception of the old doctor.
Raye has always been quite "lax" with himself, in that he rarely complained about an injury or an inconvenience imposed on him. He tends to go quite far to help others and make people happy, even if it will cause him to suffer. These are all hints to a part of his deeper nature, which became apparent after he awakened to his power. In his battles, he displayed an dangerous fighting style, and an almost complete disregard of his own safety, not hesitating even for a second to give up his life to protect the innocent. While this can be seen as him being uncaring of his own life, in truth it's him actually being able to truly accept death; the fact that he will eventually die, and not be afraid or repulsed by it.
Extra: In battle, Raye uses overwhelming power and speed to decisively crush his opponents. He keeps his fighting style simple, plain, and without form, relying mainly on basic but powerful strikes. It's almost crude if his movements weren't so deft and precise. He likes to end battles as quickly as possible, using his most powerful attacks as soon he sees an opening.
He starts with one form, but will gain four more as the story goes along. But because of the secret behind his Persona, as it morphs and changes form his personality, and his very psyche, will become more and more unstable.
His Persona, Grim Reaper, will change form into the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The armor on his chest and left arm become white in color, and he gains an ornate white bow, held on his left hand. In this form, he able to use the power of lightning and shoot energy and lighting bolts from his bow.
Reaper-Red Rider
Gained after his Persona transform into Red Rider; The Herald of War. The armor on his chest and right arm becomes red, and he obtains a European broadsword that is as long as he is. In this form, he can summon intense flames to incinerate his foes.

Raye's Rider form after fusing with the Persona Black Rider; The Bringer of Famine and Suffering. In this form, his armor becomes black in color, and is noticeably smaller and thinner. Armed with only a short magic staff, he can use a wide variety of magic and spells in battle.
