➤ overall | |||||||||
Rayan is quite boyish in his appearance, with a rounded face and little to no sign of any obvious facial hair. His brown hair reaches down to somewhere between his chin and shoulders, extending upward to cover his cat like ears. He also has a tail that would reach past his knees, if held straight down, with a covering of fur to match his hair and ears. The markings he sports below his eyes are completely natural, though he doesn't know (or care) if that's normal or not. He dresses in casual but comfortable clothing when possible. Hei good in higher temperatures, so tries to avoid too many layers (especially if he can foresee a problem in a given climate). In feline form, he looks pretty much indistinguishable from an ordinary house cat, his fur the same brown he sports in his more humanoid form. His facial markings are also visible under the fur below his eyes. | |||||||||

Rayan is generally cheerful and optimistic, always keen to try and lighten the mood if things get a little tense. He likes to joke around and generally socialise with his peers, although there'll be no takes around the campfire for him! In this kind of scenario, he will be as close by as possible, probably playing on his beloved ocarina (something which he also enjoys in his alone time). He has been known to put the needs of others before himself, though he can be impulsive and prone to the occasional rash action. Despite this and his cockiness, he knows his limits and when to bail if things get too hot (often literally), in the moments where he does decide to think about what he's doing. He will do whatever he can to protect the innocent and those who have put their trust in him, taking it real personal if he fails, to the point of limiting his contact with others. When he has a particular goal in mind, good luck getting him to deviate, as his stubborn determination means that he will give everything he possibly can to accomplish it! As you can imagine, his fear of fire is a point of frustration, though hardly unfounded and especially when it gets in the way of him doing what he needs to do. His greatest ambition is to make a positive contribution to the lives of those around him, stemming from his biggest fear besides fire; being forgotten. | |||||||||

Feline Shift - Mastered: Rayan is quite comfortable switching to his less conspicuous feline form, able to take full advantage of his smaller, more lithe frame. Transformation takes around twenty seconds, although this can leave him vulnerable to attack, so he tries to avoid doing so out in the open. If severely wounded or knocked unconscious, he will revert back to his humanoid form and be unable to shift again until he has sufficiently recovered. Darkness Manipulation - Advanced: While he cannot create darkness, he can manipulate the smallest shadow to do his bidding. If you must fight him, hope you do not have to so where it is dark, for he will take full advantage. If there is any source of darkness, Rayan can spread more, effectively blinding his target (and himself, but that's where night vision comes in handy). He can also solidify and make shields out of shadows, but they can only protect from solid weapons and weak to moderate magical attacks before dissipating. Melting into the darkness can be handy, should he need to go in a little more stealthily, and either he can move quicker in darkness or he can teleport, he hasn't figured that out yet. Enhanced Speed - Intermediate: While faster than the average human, and able to maintain this speed for a little longer, he will tire just as easily if he overexerts himself. Naturally, being wounded or overcome by smoke will undoubtedly slow him down. Enhanced Dexterity, senses and stealth - Natural: Naturally occurring abilities that gift him greater dexterity and stealth capabilities than most. He can see better and further than most, as well as hear or smell things from a greater distance. Night Vision - Natural: He has no problem seeing in the dark, and can adjust within seconds. This gives him a distinct advantage over some other races, especially when using his darkness manipulation abilities. Immortality - Beginner: At just twenty two years of age, it isn't immediately apparent that Rayan has stopped ageing as most races do (he thinks he might have stopped around age eighteen), and will likely remain as he is now for the next few centuries (should he be lucky enough to live that long). | |||||||||

Father: Lev Marsh (TRS Elite hunter - deceased) Mother: Saria Marsh (Musician) Sibings: Older brother, Tomas, twin sister, Felicia, younger sister Mia | |||||||||

Rayan was born the youngest of twins. Already having an older brother, and with a younger sister arriving just three years later, the household was rarely quiet, to say the least! Despite the often rowdy siblings, they were a close family unit, with no other family members to speak of. Rayan got on well with his parents and siblings, being especially close to his twin, Felicia, and generally enjoying life in the small town he grew up in. His father worked for the Terror Resistance Syndicate, being a source of pride and admiration to his youngest son. His mother played music for a living, specifically woodwind instruments, and gifted him his ocarina when he was old enough to learn to play. Though he played as hard as any of the boys (and his tomboyish twin), he knew from a pretty early age that he didn't like girls the way he thought he should. He didn't work up the courage to tell his family until he was older, but by then it was too late. His father had gone on a mission one day and never came back, having sacrificed his life to save a comrade. Though initially angry, he understood in time and wanted more than ever to become his father's living legacy. Understandably, his remaining family were concerned about his choice, though his brother had left to attend university shortly after. Felicia too, left to be with her then boyfriend, and though he missed her terribly, he wished her well. Eventually, he too would leave home to pursue training with the syndicate, only just passing his apprenticeship fairly recently. Perhaps more suited to being a scout, given his racial abilities, Rayan wanted to be up close and personal, just like his father had been. | |||||||||
