Ray (SamuraiSwords)

== Description ==
Ray is an unusually colored SeaWing. Rather than the typical blue, green, or grey, he is red and orange with some purple spots and stripes mixed in. The spines that support the webbing on his back and chest are also purple, as are the claws on his wings. He isn't a hybrid--just odd. His mother used to tell him he had "scales like an ocean sunset." He has green-blue eyes and keeps a tusk from some animal, possibly a narwhal, attached to his tail. This serves as his main weapon should he have to fight.
His "thumbs", if dragons have them, are on the wrong side of his...hands? Feet? What do I call those? Whatever. No one knows what happened there. It doesn't give him much trouble in his day-to-day life, but opening things and writing invoices are a challenge, so he's taken to using his jaws. He's bitten through far too many pencils. 
== Personality ==
Ray is easygoing and calm, though he will never back down from a fight if challenged. He has some scars to prove this, though they're faint and hard to notice against his red scales. He loves money and sometimes his greed can get in the way, but ultimately, he wants to uplift those around him, so he invests in business ventures and other projects in the area. This has gotten him into trouble on occasion, whether that means losing some money or getting into some real danger.
== History ==
Ray was hatched outside of the Kingdom of the Sea, somewhere off the northern coast of the Sky Kingdom. He was raised by his mother and a SkyWing merchant she met shortly after he hatched. His mother eventually joined the War of SandWing Succession and is presumed dead, leaving the SkyWing merchant to raise Ray alone. After the SkyWing's death, Ray took over his business selling seashells and miscellaneous treasures. Under Ray's management as he traveled around the continent, the business saw significantly more success. As more and more money rolled in, Ray began investing in other businesses, though he was careful to avoid anything involving the war. He's not a pacifist by any means, but he knows what took his mother away from him and he wants nothing to do with it. Whether we're talking about funding the destruction or working to end it, he's not interested in either. 
== Trivia ==
* He used to be named Chinook, which is a type of salmon. Then he was forgotten about until he ended up in a bizarre crossover story (the specifics of which are not relevant to this wiki), where the antagonist was named Chinook (also for the salmon). Chinook the SeaWing needed a new name, so now he's Ray (as in spotted eagle ray--he looks nothing like one, but he loves them).
