## History

### Early Life

Born and raised in North Hollywood, California, Kyle was brought into a life that most would consider “normal”. He had parents who loved him, raised him and guided him as an only child. He went through most of his childhood enjoying typical things, such as sports and other recreational activities but held a certain admiration for art, taking it up at the young age of seven to begin expanding his creative mind; putting pencil to paper ever since.

Just before Kyle were to graduate high school, tragedy struck when his mother, Maura Rayner, passed away due to illness. Opting instead to help his father, Kyle turned down his scholarship to further what he wanted to be a career in artistry, to get a full time job and help pay the bills in a rather expensively typical Hollywood scene, even if his family were average income at best.

Time came when Kyle eventually did get to pursue that of his dreams. He moved out on his own with enough dedication and hard work to afford an apartment, just at the age of twenty one years old. He dropped his full time job and opened up his own art business, where he found minimal success. Failed relationships plagued him as much as his luck to find any explosive revenue for his art, perhaps due to his lack of a college degree. Being the struggling but very gifted freelance graphic artist that he was, he persevered despite all inconveniences in hopes that the Hollywood scene would begin to attract some spotlight on his abilities as an artist.

They did, but not before the strangest of turns were taken in his life. On the night prior to his 24th birthday, after receiving a call for a deal to be the artist for an up-and-coming band’s new album, Rayner was heading out of a local Hollywood bar, only to come across an oddly dressed, presumably dying man. At first he offered to call for help but was quickly rejected, the man stating that there was no point and that he’d be dead within the hour anyway... This man revealed himself to be a Green Lantern, by the name of Rond Vidar. He forewarned of growing threats within the known universe and how those dangers created his current situation, telling Kyle that he merely wished to return to his home to have a chance at saying goodbye to his loved ones.

Intrigued, Rayner comforted the man in his final moments, only to be given the ring that he bore. The reasons as to why Rond chose Kyle are unbeknownst to him to this day, simply and truly believing that he were simply in the right place at the right time, or just by chance lucky. Regardless, the ring was the absolute last present he had expected as a surprise birthday gift. That night, the ring were rejuvenated with the presence of a new wearer, commanding Kyle’s body and mind to pioneer him through space, leaving his home utterly confused, bringing him to the planet Oa, where he stumbled upon the home of the Green Lanterns.

Rayner was brought to Kilowag, unsure of what to do with his current situation, he desperately pleaded that he wanted to give the ring back, barely able to comprehend the situation itself. Kilowag instead insisted that the ring had chosen him for a reason, despite what Kyle may have truly believed. Rayner was inducted officially into the corps, and began his training to gain understanding of the ring he now heralded along with the powers, responsibilities, and dangers that came with.

Two months later, after completing his training as a lantern, Kyle and his newfound partner Laira Omoto would find themselves members of a newly anointed Honor Corps created by the Guardians themselves.
