Ranald De Gol Griffward

## Character History

### Past

As an only child born to his Earth human parents Tithe and Belem, he was born simultaneously at the time of his Dimensional Mate Ra's birth.

Ra has 2 biological mothers and 2 biological fathers both on earth and on Dreamland. The reason he has the same parents is that there are other people who share the same blood and soul with beings from another dimension called "Soulmates", being parallel versions of them. In Ra's world, they called their soulmates, "Dimensional Mates". Golden Heart and Hydara are the Dimensional Mates of Ra's other parents, it may sound like a confusion of which world that Ra was born in but believe it or not, Ra once had a Dimensional Mate of his own but only as an egg in Dreamland while his dimensional mate was an unborn human baby.

It all started when Golden Heart & Hydara were a great Dream Defending Team, protecting children, leading them out from the Nightmare Realm, and making children happy at their place called Dreamland where every child deserves to have a good dream time. Many years later, Golden Heart and Hydara were married at the same time as their dimensional mates on Earth. Later that day, Golden Heart laid an egg while her Earth Dimensional Mate is pregnant with a child and they're both looking forward to becoming parents when their child hatches or is born. They foresaw that their child and his Earth Dimensional Mate would be a hero of light in Earth and Dreamland, so they called their soon-to-be-born griffin/dragon son, Ra.

Then one day, their egg started to shake as it was ready to be hatched, same goes for their child who is about to let his mother know that it's time for him to be born, what a beautiful moment it is and they're getting close to becoming parents. But then something went wrong with their child's Dimensional Mate on Earth, their child is dying while still in his mother's womb, as this child tried to stay alive in his mother's stomach but seconds later he died.

Meanwhile, in Dreamland, Golden Heart and Hydara watched in horror as their Dimensional Mates didn't notice the miscarriage Belem had, and all they do is watch, forced to wait till they noticed, suffering a broken heart. And as for their own child, he's about to come out of his egg, at first they were happy but now they felt so sorry for their Dimensional Mates, they can feel their high hopes within their hearts even though they live in another dimension but they share the same body, soul and feelings, so they can't stand there and watch them suffer the bad news, they have to do something about it, but what?

And that's when they had a thought, there is one way to save them from the perpetual sadness of losing an only child, but it's a huge sacrifice. They have to give up their hatched child to live with their Earth Dimensional Mates as their own since both of their children share the same soul, body, and blood. So, Golden Heart and Hydara decided to send their child to Earth to live in his unborn Earth Dimensional Mate's body as a soul that found it's own home and body. And when their child is about hatch from his egg, they gently floated him down to earth, landing him in Belem's womb and inside the unborn's human body. When the right time came, he finally hatched while still in his Earth Dimensional Mate's baby body. And after that burst of a light feeling, that's when the mother felt like her water broke and she's about to go into labor, and just in time she gave birth to a healthy baby boy and made his first whimper. Their Dimensional Mates were full of joy as their own child is finally here. Golden Heart's Dimensional Mate held her new baby in her arms, she cried tears of joy that she's happy that her child is going to have a great life with her, just like with Hydara's Dimensional mate.

Even though it's hard for Golden Heart and Hydara to let their own child go and live with them on Earth now, but after all, they both share the same child, the same homeworld and now Ra shared the same soul and body with his Dimensional Mate even though his other self was somewhere in the other side but he'll be in peace and Ra will soon learn that both of his 2 parents and 2 worlds are truly where he belongs.

He was born in a town outside of the big city, he lives in a neighborhood full of bullies and judgmental people, even his High school is full of them, his schoolmates called him 'The Golden Nerd' of their school, Mr. Perfect and the school bullies always target him. He lives with his only blood parents and the orphan children that are also his adopted little brothers & sisters and children of his own, he and his family lived in an orphanage & school for children, the name of their only home is "Griffward Orphanage". At a young age, his ability to form-shift into his Golden Griffin Warrior for the first time activated at midnight, while he was asleep. It enabled him to travel to Dreamland to be educated by his human parent's Dimensional Mates on how to use his newfound powers wisely in order to protect the spirit of the children in the dimension from the predations of the Nightmare World's inhabitants.

His family's orphanage-home used to be where many parents adopted their children but as time passed, their numbers dwindled. His father Tim’s brother ran a small church near the orphanage known as St. Griffward’s Parish, which used to have a few churchgoers but then they changed, moved out and never came back to their parish again, in fact, their parish has grown poorly and had very little money, it's all because his uncle was forced to give half of the church money to Tim and Belle’s son just to give his bullies some money as payment to let him go even if he's good at a lot of things but he never fights back.

The people of the neighborhood say that they should've sold one of the children in order to save their parish just because their house is full of them but the children they cared about are not for sale. They even say that Ranald has been a bad influence on the children of strangers which they're talking about his shared stories of his wild imagination and a dream defender called Ra the Golden Griffin Warrior. Rumours were spread around the town, neighbourhood and his school saying that he's been dreaming a lot to go to the big city hoping to find a job and save his parish home but they laughed and said that he's never going to live with them 'cause they say he's too human to fit with those super-powerful people and saying that it's all in his wild imagination.

* FLASHBACK IN BLACK & RED COLORING\*

"Hey look! It's the Golden Nerd Mr. Perfect", "Yeah that's him", "I heard he kept talking to his doll all day, what a Sissy freak!", "more than that I also heard he's going to live in the big city I mean how can he be super enough to fit with those powerful people!", "No wonder he has no real friends!", "Now I know why everybody kept their distance away from that crazy guy", "he is nothing but a bad influence!", "Why making money there? He would've just sold those brats from his trash can house!". But it won't stop Ranald he will show them that he is super enough and he'll prove them wrong that being human is what makes him happy and he will save his home and he's going to that city to help his family make their lives better again.

Well yeah Ranald is from the world of humans like him but to the people in his town and neighborhood they called the rich and successful business people of the big city "Super powerful" as in his town thinks that the people from the big city have the power to get rich fast just because they have power over them, they judged Ranald 'cause they thought that there's no way he can fit in the city just because he's human while the city people are powerful rulers and thought he and his family will be one of them but little did they know that Ranald not only helps his family but his own town and neighborhood too. Those people from his neighborhood may treat him and his place so badly, but that doesn't mean he can let them live poorly in a place like this. Ranald will show his town that he doesn't need to be powerful to overcome the city and he'll be a great example to them that being human is what makes you powerful enough and he will help both his family and people, That's the Golden Rule his Papa used to say to him when he first read the Bible with him.

### AWCU Student Days

Eventually, Ranald encountered a winged messenger bottle with an invitation to Aether World Cosmic University. He accepted the invitation and went there. Phrixus, now known as Head Shepherd of Fates, Aries, became his first friend. At the dimensional university, he learned twelve martial arts from Phrixus and eleven other students. They would become the Ecliptic Zodiac Generals. At that time, he was still his Dreamland Dimensional Mate in his Earth counterpart's human body, believing himself to be his own Earth Dimensional Mate, a normal human who can access his Golden Griffin Warrior form with his golden locket. But he wouldn't, fearing that the alternate form would receive praise from his AWCU classmates instead of his human form, making him too dependent on it for boosting his confidence. He harbored resentment at the superheroes of his world for looking down on him, thus he would not transform, but only when he meets the final bosses, such as the sorcerer Malvor and more.

He joined them on a journey to the Dark Side of the Universe to confront a great evil, the Devourer of Worlds. He fought with his classmates the villains they faced on their previous dimensional missions. Then, Ranald met the Devourer of Worlds by himself, with his classmates joining him later. However, they lost their powers due to the creature's Negating Fog, and they could watch as he escaped to Earth, leaving the Boogeyman instructions to finish him. Ranald confronted the Boogeyman over his Earth Mate's Soul's disappearance, and after learning the truth, that his Earth Dimensional Mate's spirit possessed the mayor of the Nightmare Realm to take revenge on Ra (still in his Mate's human body) for "stealing" the attention and love of his Earth parents and his AWCU classmates, persuaded his other Mate to abandon his thirst for revenge. He asked him to merge with him so that he would receive the love that he wanted. Ranald's spirit apologized and accepted the offer, merging with his Dreamland Dimensional Mate to become whole again, getting his human body back, and Ra becoming his conscience instead of the spirit and soul of his Mate's human body.

King Athos had his friends reveal the prophecy of the Golden Griffin and the Silver Deer who will seal away the Devourer, revealing that Ranald and Mayari are the ones foretold. Fortunately, the sorcerer Malvor turned around and helped them go to Earth as the Dimensional Shuttle was low on fuel.

Without his powers, Ranald can't use his special moves and could only turn into his Golden Griffin Warrior form and rally his classmates to fight the monster with their own abilities. But they were struck by the Devourer's laser. Then, the stars, constellations, and planets shone and gave their light to the students, Ranald included. He gained his Hyper Form, the Golden Griffin Warrior of the Blazing Sun, and defeated the Devourer of Worlds. He and his classmates sealed the serpent in the Dark Side of the universe.

During the Investiture of the Stars ceremony, King Athos gave him the titles of Human who Proved Us Wrong, Golden Griffin Warrior of the Blazing Sun, and the Member and Leader of the Crusaders, as well as the Sun that Lights the Horizons. He and his classmates helped restore Aether World before graduating from AWCU.

### As a Teacher

Currently, after graduation, he serves as a freelance teacher at Aether World Cosmic University, and still cares for the children at St Griffward's Parish. He also is on the lookout for the 108 Star Orbs which have descended to Earth, and the humans who overcame their fears, merging with them in the process.

He had a vision that he shared with the king and his friends: a dream school that is also a base for heroes and works for the good of the people of the Real World. He discovered Zail and Long and their deeds assisting heroes, that like him, they can travel dreams of others and cross to other dimensions, and their determination and speed. He decided to take the duo as his first pupils.

When he told his Dreamland parents about his plan for a school for the people of Earth, they were worried at first that he was taking on too many responsibilities. When he explained to them regarding Zail and Long, they agreed to help him. Ra took from Golden Heart's Gold Heart symbol that is on her beak a crystal piece, and transferred the essence of Zail & Long's strong bond into the empty golden crystal piece as a container for the essence build up until it becomes one with the golden crystal.

And as for the White Dragon Pack that will carry the school, Ra took a white feather and scale sample from Hydara's Wing and 4th Head since he's also part Light Dragon, then he stuffed the white feather and scale in the golden crystal container and mixed it with the essence until it also becomes one with the golden crystal.

Finally, Ra built the school of his dreams, and called it True Hilaga High. “THE DESTINES ARE THE TRUE NORTH" became its slogan. He shrunk it down to diorama size and planted it in the Golden Crystallized Essence Gem. He took Zail and Long to a place between Earth and dimensions like Aether World, gave them the power of Ultramix and tested them. As they passed the test in the place between Earth and dimension, he not only appointed Zail and Long the principals of True Hilaga High, he told them to gather the people they met before and recruit them as Teachers in True Hilaga High for the students that will become the League of True Hilaga, the Destines and heroes.

He, the other Solar System Guardians, the Crusaders of the Constellations, the 108 Stars of Destiny and the Lunar Mansion Knights went to help Zailong and the League of True Hilaga save Earth from the OVER-Lord and his Over League. Zailong awakened into his Hyper Form, the True North Pole Starship, and used his new powers to fight the universe devouring entity bravely.

But the OVER-Lord swallowed them all into himself, except the Lunar Knights and Stars of Destiny who were fighting his League on Earth. However, the Starship activates his true potential and blasts a hole in the entity, and its Zail half defeats the OVER-Lord with a combination of his and GJ’s weapons.

The True North Pole Starship capture the rest of the Over League and imprisons them into the school’s detention cell. Ra and Zailong returned to Earth afterwards, giving a letter to his pupils.

Eventually, he also helped build the Delta Duo for Zail and Long, and provided means for the White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon and Vermilion Phoenix armors for Gintotita, J&J, Vexen and Aliven.

## Appearance

In his Earth human form, when he occupied his Earth Dimensional Mate's body, he's a human 26-year-old wearing a gold heart locket, jacket, red headband, and a school backpack that has a baby griffin stuffed toy attached to the back of his bag, he got that backpack from his favorite Otaku shop, The Fan-Sci Shop (which is short for Fantasy Sci-fi shop). His backpack comes with a baby mythical creature stuffed toy attach to every bag in the shop and that backpack with a baby griffin stuff toy is perfect for him.

In his Super Form, the "Golden Griffin Warrior Mode", he retains his human head, long gold hair, golden-brown skin, and wears a Crown Head Gear on his head. He also has golden body armour consisting of feathers on his upper half, fur on his lower half, separated by a belt around his waist with a red and gold buckle, a lion's tail with golden fur, Griffin head armour on his chest, clawed feet of a Griffin on his feet and left arm, and a big Crystallized Arm on his right hand that can be formed into different kinds of Crystallized Swords. And finally what you see behind his giant golden wings is his special shield, "The Sun Shield of the Zodiac Wheel". When Ra runs fast he always runs on all fours, being half lion. But he can still walk on 2 legs when he moves slowly or mingles with humans or other sentient beings.

When he lifts up his right arm or his Crystallized sword in the air, he runs on all threes and performs his attack moves. He can jump and fly really high at the same time whether on 4 legs (when he ducks down or when he runs), 3 legs (when he ducks down and lifts up his Crystallized sword in the air or while he's running; he lifts up his Crystallized sword in the air) or 2 legs (when he's just standing up). When he jumps over an obstacle or leaps off a cliff, he glides/flies with his wings, being half eagle.

When he wants to scare off potential threats, is feeling territorial/protective, or simply wants his allies to know where he is, he would roar like a lion, whether his hands and feet are on the ground, running on all fours or even standing on his 2 legs. As he opens his mouth while roaring, he shows off his sharp lion teeth. And finally, when he gets angry or feels threatened, he crouches down on all fours, hunches his back, lifts up his tail, then snarls, hisses, and growls, showing off his sharp lion teeth like the angry lion he is. Sometimes, he spreads his wings and screeches like an eagle when angry.

His real form, the child of the Dream Defender Duo Ra (the egg in Dreamland), is part griffin and part dragon, having the body of a griffin, black scales on his lion tail, and a crown of a dragon just like his parents in Dreamland but ever since Ra became the new soul of his late Dimensional Mate, he became part human, part griffin and part dragon, and he only becomes his golden griffin warrior self when he's asleep and would fly to Dreamland, and as for the other soul of his late Dimensional Mate, he's somewhere in the other side and there's soon going to be a twist, in which he possessed the Boogeyman. But now, that the Earth Dimensional Mate's soul has his original body back, Ra serves as his conscience.

In his Hyper Form, the Golden Griffin Warrior of the Blazing Sun, Ranald's armour gained some changes such as a white loincloth with the hieroglyphs for 'Golden King' on his belt, a golden orb made of sunlight floating above his head that can change size at its owner's will, his crown headgear, which he used to summon his Dreamland father as the Boat of Hydara, becomes the Corona Crown Head Gear with a gold and blue nemes, a striped headcloth that was worn by pharaohs of ancient Egypt, merged with it, and a red circle with a dot at its centre on the griffin's head chest armour. His wings, wreathed with the flames of the Sun, are split into three wings of fire, making him look like a seraph. His eyes become slit cat eyes that glow golden, enabling Ranald to see in complete darkness, and his scaly lion's tail is split into five tails like Hydara's, each in a different colour and tipped with a flame.

The first tail is covered in golden fur just like Ra's lion half. It has jaguar spots on it and is tipped with a black and gold flame. It represents the Golden Age of Man and the night, which is when the sun rests and the children sleep and their spirits enter Dreamland before daybreak.

The second tail is covered in silver, cyan, and saffron scales, and is tipped with a brilliant white flame. It represents the Silver Age of Man and the dawn when the first light of the sun is sighted in the morning until sunrise and when the children and adults wake up from their sleep.

The third tail is covered with scales of brilliant yellow, fiery red, and saffron orange, with a golden-yellow flame at its tip. It represents the Bronze Age of Man and the zenith, when the sun is highest in the sky and when everyone is working or playing.

The fourth tail is covered in scales that are saffron orange at the base and transitioning to dark blue at the tail tip. The tip of the fourth tail has a dark blue flame on it. It represents the Age of Heroes and twilight when it is neither day nor night and the sun goes below the horizon, being the time when the activities of man decrease.

The fifth and last tail is covered in scales that are dark blue at the base to black at the tip. A black flame shone at the last tail's tip. It represents the Age of Iron, the age humanity is in now, and dusk, when the sun has just set, and when people go home to rest and prepare for the next day.

Overall, the five tails of the new 'Hyper Form' symbolized Ra being the Dream Defender & Guardian of "Dreamland" and Defender and Guardian of all good spirits of the children everywhere every day and night, and throughout all the ages of humanity.

## Personality

Due to his bad childhood, he likes to show an example of an ordinary Human who is still a hero without powers, like you can't always depend on your powers a lot, it's like the only sense you have in your eyes, not your other senses.

On Earth, Ranald (or Ra) is always serious, strict, loyal, honorable, golden-hearted (just like his other biological mother), and hardworking when it comes to academics. That's why he always gets straight A's and he's great at Art, Photography, P.E. and Computer. But most of all, he's also great at caring for children on earth and dreamland. In Dreamland, Ra is always very loyal to the good spirits of the children 'cause he's not only a warrior but a dream defender and guardian of all dreamers everywhere. With the courage and ferocity of a lion and the carefree yet nurturing personality of an eagle, Ra's duty is to lead the good spirits to his dream world while their bodies back home were left in a deep slumber to all have a good night's sleep.

Being a single child, even though he always takes his duty as guardian of Dreamland and good spirits of the children seriously, he has a way of being a paternal figure to children like showing them that there's nothing to be afraid of, and knowing that fears are nothing but lies and tricks. But most of all what he can do is to turn their fears into something fun.

But he has some flaws too. He may be an A-star student but that doesn't mean he's perfect he has weaknesses, they are being mad and resentful at the world of super-powered people that cast doubts on powerless humans, and his second weakness is his own Ra form I mean being in his Ra form made him feel like he's not proud of himself because his form did all the work, so thanks to his powerful form he can win fights instantly. But for him, it felt like people are too lazy and complacent because they're dependent on their own powers instead of their physical senses like their heads, hands, feet, or other things they still have on their bodies. So, therefore, he's not that satisfied with his own form so he rather trains and works really hard as a human. He accepts his other form eventually and warms up to his new friends, up to the extent of fighting alongside them against the Devourer of Worlds.

He has also shown himself to be a great mentor to Zail and Long, giving them the Golden Crystallized Gem and teaching them how to use the Ultramix power it gave the Dream Travelling Duo. He is also dedicated to helping his pupils get what they want as long as it’s for the benefit of their peers.

## Family

Ra's Parents on earth own an orphanage called Griffward Orphanage and School. Ra's father Tim is the orphanage director, or as the children calls him "Father Tim" while the orphan children called their foster father & grandfather "Papa T" while his mother Belle is a Retired College Professor who is now a teacher of her own school that is attached to her husband's orphanage, the children of the orphanage called her "Mama B", a shortened form of her name. Tim’s brother is Tithe, a Catholic priest who owns St. Griffward’s Parish, and thus, Ranald’s uncle. As he’s the orphan’s grand uncle he is called “Uncle T” by them,

Ranald doesn't have any blood siblings or other blood relatives of his own except he still has his 2 only blood parents, his uncle, and the orphan children that he sees as his own little brothers and sisters while as for the other orphan children that are toddlers and infants, Ranald also sees them as his own children that he raises by himself like a father he is, so they not only see Ranald as their big brother but to the toddlers, they also see him as their father which is why the children of the orphanage called his parents their own parents and grandparents. Oh, and they called Ranald by his sibling and parent name "Big Brother Ranald" and "Poppa Ranald".

## Powers

### As a human

* **Fighting Prowess**: Having trained his body from a young age and learned twelve martial arts from his guides, Ranald can take on any opponent equal to his level. He can even fight and defend with his school bag.
* **Enhanced Intelligence**: He is diligent at studying.
* **Enhanced Strength**: As a result of his physical training
* **Weapon Proficiency**: He is good at using melee weapons just like with his Crystallized Swords.

### As the Golden Griffin Warrior

#### Offensive

**Natural Weaponry**: Being half griffin, Ra has lion claws and eagle talons that he can use when fighting.

**Multiform Weapon**: RA'S CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT ARM - A big crystallized arm on his right hand that can switch between 6 different kinds of Crystallized Swords with the pyramid dial on the back of his hand while the first crystallized sword is just a hand with red claws. This regular crystallized right arm can really pack a hard punch, and his claws on both his left and right arms are so razor-sharp they can scratch through anything, even steel (See Below).

**Expert Swordsman**: Under tutelage from both Golden Heart and Hydara during the nights he spent in Dreamland while asleep, Ra is a master in many sword styles associated with his Crystallized Swords. He becomes even more skilled after his training under the twelve guides he met in Aether World Cosmic University (Castor and Pollux taught Double Weapon Style to him after all).

**Heliokinesis**: Many of his moves, Special Moves, and Hyper Moves make use of controlling the Sun's attributes, such as...

* **Solar Weaponry**: His Crystallized Arm and Swords.
	+ **Solar Artillery**: His Spike Launcher (Super and Hyper) specifically.
	+ **Solar Healing**: His Heart of the Araw Ginto (Super and Hyper)
	+ **Solar Constructs**: His Heart of the Araw Ginto (Hyper) that when thrown, changes into solar energy constructs of thirteen animals representing not only the zodiac constellations and the Sun, but also Ranald's bonds with his Dreamland Dimensional Mate and the twelve guides who taught him their martial arts.
* **Photokinesis**: In his Blazing Sun/Hyper Form, he has Hyper Moves that manipulate light such as :
	+ Blasts of sunlight to strike or blind enemies (Rays of Aten).
* **Pyrokinesis**: Others make use of Sun-fire, such as Corona Charge, Chains of Surya, and Burning Shamash Cutter.
* **Enhanced Roar**: When he roars at his enemies, they are stunned. When allies hear the roar, they get a morale boost (Roar of Ra).
* **Illusion Manipulation**: With his Wand-er, he brings a target (or a group of them) into an ever-shifting nightmare prison called Mictlan (either an illusion or a part of the nightmare realm) that resembles the Boogie-man's Field of Nightmares. Once inside Mictlan, Ra can create nightmarish situations to teach wicked people what happens if they continue to take the wrong path (Visions of Tonatiuh). Nightmare situations are usually illusions manifested into reality from a person's cloudscape due to Ra's overfeeding their bad thoughts with more bad spirits, to the point the evil in the target's cloudscapes overflow and spill into reality, causing them to manifest in front of their eyes, twisting their perception of reality into making them think and feel like what they see and experience is real. It stops when Ranald wills it to or when the target has a change of heart.

#### Passive

* Form Shift by Sleep or Locket: On Earth, Ra's name is "Ranald De Gol Griffward" but in Dreamland he's called "Ra the Golden Griffin Warrior". He can only become his Golden Griffin Warrior self when he sleeps and comes to Dreamland at 12:00 Midnight to lead and protect the good spirits of the children, and to see his other biological parents Golden Heart & Hydara. It's something like a visiting hour thing, Ra can still become his warrior self if he wants by putting himself to sleep anywhere he goes, whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening except at night in Dreamland 'cause it's not 12 midnight yet. He puts himself to sleep just by simply pinching his sleep point on the right side of his neck. When he's completely asleep, that's when he explores the human world as an invisible spirit and enters people's dreams or leap through cloudscape to cloudscape all he wants. When he witnesses crime going on in the human world as a spirit, he has to have a physical body, and to manifest one, he has the "Magic Golden Locket" which he opens to become solid so that humans can see or feel him every time they’re in trouble. When he’s done defeating the criminal, he closes the locket to return to his spirit form, re-enter his human body and wake up as Ranald. Let's just say he's like those superheroes who change back into their human selves when their work is done and then when trouble happens again they change back into their superhero forms.
* He’ll be in his Ra form when he meets every final boss in every episode. Ra’s form is a special occasion, he’s human but he can still do anything as himself without his super form. That’s why Ra has to show the crusaders that being human is who he is but being a Dreamland Beast in his Earth Dimensional Mate's human body, he felt like he’s not himself so that’s what Ranald thinks, so he’ll save his form for something that is huge.
* Ra’s physical form (that humans and Crusaders can see and hear) has a limit, in that it lasts for 24 hours and he has to use it wisely. His gold heart locket is filled with joy and whether he’s in his physical body or out of it as a spirit, he wants to let it all out literally by opening it and once they’re out that’s when he transforms into his physical form. His powerful body is powered by getting his hopes up when he feels happy but getting them too high will waste his joy and turn him into his invisible spirit form, which is why he can’t show his form right now.
* Sure Ranald still doesn't like his form but when there are people in trouble and he needs the power to help them all at once or to fight a big boss in the next stage or finals, he has to be in his Ra form. To do that, he has to use the 3 heart pieces that are sent from his Dreamland parents and put them together inside his locket. That’s when he changes to Ra by will or when it's the right time to use it. But there is one problem, the 3 heart pieces were spread around in different areas at random and they were hidden somewhere out of plain sight all because his parent's sending powers were too advanced, therefore not only does it takes a while for them to charge up their teleporting powers, but they haven't learned how to send those 3 heart pieces to wherever Ranald is. So when their son is in trouble, they have no time to teach themselves how to teleport it to him in one piece, so they have no choice but to send those pieces to him even at random places that are not far from where he is. Ranald can find the heart pieces by using the navigational magic from his locket and when he spots one like say, on the edge of the cliff, he has to pass through the rocky obstacles that are rolling towards him. It's a good thing Ranald has been training and studying his body and surroundings his whole life, so thanks for all the training at home and at his school he can overcome the obstacles and able to collect all 3 heart pieces superbly while he's still a human.
	+ Oneiric Fusion/Oneiric Ultramix: Ever since he merged with the soul of his Earth Dimensional Mate, he can change into Ra the Golden Griffin Warrior without collecting the heart gem pieces. Aside from them merging together when they say the magic words when awake, they can still automatically merge and become Ra together and fly to Dreamland, leap cloudscapes and use their abilities when they are both passed out or sleeping. That means he and his Dreamland Dimensional Mate can still be in their Ra form together whether asleep or awake and when awake, anytime they want. If he and Ra merge when awake, they will be in their physical form instead of their spirit form. He can turn into his spirit form when he wants to access cloudscapes or when he's asleep.
	+ Hyper Form Change: Sol Invictus: Ranald, when fused with Ra as Ra, can insert a heart gem into his locket to access his Hyper Form.
* Dream Travelling: Ranald as the Golden Griffin Warrior, Ra, has the ability to travel people's dreams when they're asleep and while they're sleeping, he gets inside their dream cloud bubbles or as Golden Heart & Hydara calls them, Cloudscapes. Cloudscapes are clouds that contain thoughts from the outside and dreams from the inside. He only gets inside their cloudscapes when they're asleep but when they're awake their cloudscapes will be solid as concrete, preventing Ra from going inside their solid Cloudscapes. It's like he can't walk through solid walls.
* Cloudscape Leaping: He may not get inside heavily guarded buildings, but he can still travel from Cloudscape to Cloudscape by leaping through them like buildings till he gets to Dreamland or any destination.
* The Grapple of Returning to Body: When he feels like he wants to go back to his body except it's a thousand or million miles away, he cannot just wake himself up just by pinching himself like this whole thing is a dream. No, he's a spirit, and spirits are supposed to go back to their own bodies by themselves but there is one way for him to get back to his body quickly in seconds, he has to launch his Fire-Snake Chain at his own cloudscape and once it's grappled, he pulls himself quickly towards it like an actual grappling hook and from there, he goes back to his body.
* Wicked Thought/Decision Disinfection: But yet not all people have good decisions, imaginations, or other good thoughts, some decisions they are thinking about are very bad and really messed up, thus when Ra enters their cloudscapes, they are infested with Black Shadowy Evil spirits, who not only haunt them in their dreams, they also consume their thoughts and cloudscapes like head lice, and like head lice, they also leave behind bad dust that contains bad decisions, bad influences, and wrong paths. And the only reason why people made good decisions again is that Ra cleaned up their infested cloudscapes and aside from fighting them in the Nightmare Realm, he also fights them in their cloudscapes, and once he finishes them off, the people have good thoughts again.
* Teaching the Sinful a Lesson: But there are some people with the most terrible thoughts contained in the most infected cloudscapes filled with twisted desire, greed, selfishness, and yet able to sleep at night after they go scot-free from doing evil or harm the innocents. So like in tales of the crypt keeper or Hell girl, Ra teaches them a nightmarish lesson by entering their cloudscapes and infesting them with even more black shadowy evil spirits that he kept in his Wand-er. But he's not doing it out of anger or an eye for an eye, he's overfeeding their bad thoughts with more bad spirits, it's like giving them too much power or too much of a good thing but overflowing their bad thoughts with more of them, causing a nightmarish scenario to manifest in front of their eyes or backgrounds and trap them as the darkness in their hearts and minds spillover from the cloudscapes into reality, making them think and feel like everything they see is real. After they suffered their punishments (which reflect their crimes) for their own sins, the evil spirits become so overstuffed with bad thoughts that they explode, causing a bad person to not only return to the human world but to have a change of heart, confessing their sins and hope to never go back to their wrongdoings again and to never forget their life lessons learned while suffering in their nightmares.
* Bane to Evil Spirits: During combat with normal humans, when his Crystallized Right Arm switches between his Crystallized Swords and uses them to attack, they don't really harm or kill his opponents, in fact, the injuries he deals them doesn't kill them in the human world or dream world at all and they don't bleed, leaving some scars or even some cuts or bullet wounds that magically passes through/go inside of them, and all it does is make them unconscious and vulnerable. But does that hurt? Well, a little. Yes, it does hurt a tiny bit like a mosquito bite or injection when they got slashed, stabbed, or shot magically by his Crystallized Swords, but only in the inside of their bodies but don't worry, it's not a fatal internal injury. All it does is give them natural muscle-aches, headaches, and a numb body. But it does knock them out cold completely when they got shot, slashed, or stabbed through the chest/heart or head/brain but overall it's completely harmless. And their bodies become weak and numb only when the Swords hit the right vulnerable spot on their muscles. But the only beings that can be harmed by his Crystallize Swords attached to his regular right hand are the Monsters and Black shadowy evil spirits of the Nightmare Realm.
* Summoning: He can use his Crown Head Gear to summon the Boat of Hydara, and the Wand-er to summon trapped nightmare spirits.
* Hybrid Vigor: As a half-human, half griffin, and half dragon being (even after Ranald and Ra merged together, and later with the energies from the Sun and Heaven), not only has he inherited abilities from both of his parents, he has shown powers superior to both of them.
* Night Vision: In his Hyper Form, he has golden cat's eyes, enabling Ranald to see in complete darkness.

## Arsenal

#### Defensive

The School Backpack (with the baby Griffin on it) that Ranald wears on his back, acts as a defensive weapon too aside from holding stuff. He also can use his school backpack to attack enemies and swiping their weapons just by swinging his bag and hitting their hands, and while their weapons are in the air he catches them with his open backpack then he'll open his bag and pass a weapon to somebody he can trust or he can use their stolen weapons to give them a taste of their own medicine.

But before he can use his backpack as a weapon, swipe sack, and defensive shield, first he removes his baby griffin stuff toy off his bag and just held it tightly with just one arm like he's protecting his own child from harm after all he does have a way with children and he's serious of protecting them. And while in action, he swings his backpack around to defend himself and attacks his enemies while still holding his griffin stuff toy in his arm like a father defending himself and his child. After the fight is over he puts his baby griffin back on his bag again but when it happens again he'll do the same thing. A strong person like him would hit two birds with one stone: while holding and protecting a baby from harm, he fights with the other hand and the baby is completely safe and unscratched after the action is over.

## Forms

* Golden Griffin Warrior, Ra
* Golden Griffin Warrior of the Blazing Sun, Ra

Ranald's Base form.

**Arsenal**

* **Golden Locket**: A transformation gear and navigation device for the heart-gems. It was given to him as a gift from his Earth parents on his 6th birthday. It contains a family photo of him with his Earth parents and a drawing of his Dreamland parents.
* **Crown Head Gear**: With a five-coloured Summoning Stargem attached to it, this headwear is used by Ra to summon Hydara in his dragon or boat form.
* **Zodiac Wheel Shield**: A sun-like shield with the symbols of the zodiac constellations on it.
* **RA'S CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT ARM**: A big crystallized arm on his right hand that forms into "6 different kinds of crystallized swords" while one crystallized form is just a hand with red claws:
	+ **RA'S CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT HAND**: This regular crystallized right hand can really pack a hard punch even his claws are so razor-sharp it can also scratch though anything. Not only that, do you notice that crystallized pyramid on Ra's crystallized palm? It acts like a dial that can turn left or right, which is how he changes his right arm into different kinds of Crystallized Swords.
	+ **THE FIRE SNAKE CHAIN**: This sword can not only flame up and act like a whip/grappling hook, but it can also stretch as long as 100,000,000 miles, long enough to tie down a giant monster like a snake, also, it can also give out 100,000,000 lightning-fast lashes at his enemies or some giant monsters. And one more thing I forgot to mention, once he ties down those enemies or giant monsters like a snake, he'll use his most powerful and deadliest slice & dice attack ever, also known as "THE TIE-DIED!". But the good news for this sword is it's also really quite useful in non-combat situations. For instance, in the the cold, his Fire Snake Chain is so awfully hot and long, he can stretch it out and circle it around a number of helpless civilians to keep them warm. And it can be used as a grappling hook to travel cloudscapes. As a spirit, when he wants to re-enter his physical body, Ra can launch his Fire-Snake Chain at his own cloudscape and once it's latched on, he pulls himself quickly towards it like an actual grappling hook and from there, he goes back to his body. If he meets armed opponents, he can use this Crystallized Sword to entangle their weapons and rip them from the opponents hands rendering them harmless.
	+ **THE SPIKE LAUNCHER**: His sword can shoot out blades out from his arm like a missile launcher, or, he can shoot out his blades multiple times like a machine gun and every time he fires, his sword grows back another blade.
	+ **THE SAW-DRILL BLADE**: His sword, with powered teeth that run along its edge, resembles a fast chainsaw. He can move & spin the teeth around, and while at a different position, his sword can also rotate its blade transformed from his hand about its axis at the same time like a fast drill. With such force, he can cut through anything hard, such as a huge meteor, a stone wall or even a giant monster's teeth or stomach.
	+ **THE WAND-ER**: This wand-shaped sword not only has the ability to travel into people's dreams (but only when they're asleep) but it also has the power to create scenarios of their worst nightmares (whether they're asleep or awake) that teaches bad people a lesson for their misdeeds; in other words, he punishes those who took the wrong path by making them go through a nightmarish situation he created in order to teach them a lesson of what happens if they continue to take the wrong path. And remember that crystallized pyramid on Ra's crystallized palm? The one that acts as a dial that he turns left or right to change his right arm into different kinds of Crystallized Swords. Well, it not only acts as a dial, but it also acts as a container for evil spirits and a fuel tank for his Wand-er. I mean every Black shadowy evil spirit (from the nightmare realm) he fought and slashed before were sucked into the crystallized pyramid on his palm which is what fuels up his Wand-er's nightmare energy in the first place. But even if he ran out of nightmare Fuel, at least his sword still has the ability to travel into people's dreams with or without his Wand-er's bad dream juice.
	+ **THE CLAW-OSSAL**: His sword can grow to any size it likes, but only up to 50 feet in length. With his sword that huge or shrunken, he can instantly slice through a mountain or cut off a giant monster's head clean off. And it's also a crab claw that moves like a pair of scissors that can cut through anything, even a giant monster's stomach.
	+ **THE HEART OF THE ARAW GINTO**: Ra's 7th and rarest Crystallized Sword. Its form is a blade resembling the Sun with a hole in its middle. And through that middle hole of his Crystallized blade is the heart of the Araw Ginto itself. And the only reason why it's rare is that this kind of crystallized sword is super powerful and instantly heals everybody, fixing up their broken-down homes and instantly defeats a strong enemy quickly just by swinging his right arm and throwing the heart of the Araw Ginto in the air like a tennis ball then the golden magic happens.
	+ To activate it, he has to name the 12 zodiac symbols in the correct order by his heart and not by his head. And when he does, his right hand suddenly automatically form into a sun-like crystallized sword. Then a flaming heart suddenly appears in the hole of his crystallized blade, ready to be used. But remember this kind of weapon must only be used once. 'Cause once it's been used; its powers will charge up again by next year as in Ra must only use the heart of the Araw Ginto every once a year so this move set is for emergencies only.

**Vehicles**

* **Boat of Hydara**: When Ra successfully gathers all of the children in one place, he has to get them back to Dreamland but the problem is that Ra can't carry all of them at once with just 2 hands (or claws) or even a tail, they'll just weigh him down or he can not just keep on coming back for them one by one, these children have to get to safety right now. Which is why he has the power to summon the gigantic dragon boat called "The Boat of Hydara" out of his Crown Head Gear. He got that vehicle summoning power from his 5 headed and 5 tailed dragon Father Hydara the Hydra Knights, who can transform himself into a one-headed and one-tailed dragon boat to assist his Golden Griffin wife Golden Heart the savior of all children who is also Ra's Griffin Mother. So instead of giving Ra the power to transform into a boat like him, Hydara decided to give him the power of summoning not only himself as the Hydra Knights, but also as a boat of his own but still being called the boat of Hydara so he can drive it just like his mother.

**Attacks**

* **The Tied-Dye** ( ●  ●  ● ): Ties down those enemies or giant monsters like a snake, and use his most powerful and deadliest slice & dice attack ever by pulling the Fire Snake Chain.

**Martial Arts**
To prepare him for the battle with the Devourer of Worlds, he learned these martial arts from his twelve guides, and gained the weapons associated with them:

* Mountain Goat Style - Learned from Yeomsoo, assocaited with the scimitar
* Flowing Water Style - Learned from Aqua, associated with the spear
* Tai Chi Fist Style - Learned from Ichiguen, associated with the whip

**Appearances**:

Ranald's Hyper Form, formed from him and Ra merging with the energies of Heaven and the Sun

**Arsenal**

* **Golden Locket**: Looks the same as before, but grows red wings made of solar energy, having absorbed the star-power of the Sun. It can produce streams of golden light to seal a being's powers, and red, white and golden light to produce one half of the seal to the Obsidian Gate that is the entrance to the Dark Side of the Universe.
* **Corona Crown Head Gear**: An upgraded form of his Crown Head Gear with a gold and blue nemes, a striped headcloth worn by pharaohs of ancient Egypt merged with it.
* **Ecliptic Zodiac Wheel Shield of the Celestial Way**: An upgrade of his Zodiac Wheel Shield, it has golden wings made of sunlight emerge from its sides, and each zodiac tool attached to each section of the shield with the symbols of the zodiac constellations associated with it. The hammer for Aries, the axe for Taurus, twin swords for Gemini, the crab hammer for Cancer, the clawed gauntlet for Leo, the war fan for Virgo, the staff for Libra, the kusarigama for Scorpio, the bow and arrows for Sagittarius, the scimitar for Capricorn, the spear for Aquarius, and the whip for Pisces. Each zodiac symbol on the shield also glows a different colour: White for Aries, Red for Taurus, Grey for Gemini, Orange for Cancer, Yellow for Leo, Pink for Virgo, Jet-Black for Libra, Purple for Scorpio, Green for Sagittarius, Sandy Brown for Capricorn, Cyan for Aquarius, and Blue for Pisces. It can hover around Ra to protect him from sudden attacks, and can also protect his allies or innocents by deflecting attacks from them and attacking their enemies with the zodiac tools fused with it.
* **RA'S CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT ARM**:
	+ **RA'S CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT HAND**: Same as the previous form, but his claws glow based on the temperature of a flame due to solar and heavenly power infused in it.
	+ **THE FIRE SNAKE CHAIN**: Same as the previous form, but after Ranald (and Ra)'s graduation from Aether World Cosmic University, it grew two extra hooks for better grappling on any surface (except ice, because of this Sword's heat. But it can grip crystal, wood, earth and stone).
	+ **THE SPIKE LAUNCHER**: Same as the previous form, but with the Greek word for Sun emblazoned on it due to solar power.
	+ **THE SAW-DRILL BLADE**: Same as the previous form, but after Ranald (and Ra)'s graduation from Aether World Cosmic University, it has not only grown longer, it has two blue arrow-shaped crystals embedded on it. They serve as extra fuel reserves for the Heavenly energy coursing through the blade.
	When the first crystal stores enough Heavenly energy, it glows, causing the chains on the Saw-Drill Blade or the rotating base/wrist of the sword to reach Super Speed. When the second crystal glows, the chains or the rotating base/wrist reach Hyper Speed. Ra can perform the Hyper Moves granted to the Saw-Drill Blade either at Super Speed or Hyper Speed, though at Hyper Speed, the Hyper Moves do the most damage. The blue crystals stop glowing when the extra energy is spent, causing the speed of the Saw-Drill Blade to return to normal.
	+ **THE WAND-ER**: Same as the previous form, but after Ranald (and Ra)'s graduation from Aether World Cosmic University, it's with a bigger star-shaped sword tip that has a silver star gem embedded on it. The star gem is divided into five sections and is the crystallized form of the hopes and dreams of those who were victims of injustice.
	After the events of the novel, before executing the Hyper Move Visions of Tonatiuh (see below), Ra in his Hyper Form needs to be in the presence of someone whose heart may darken the silver star gem that formed on the Wand-er. The number of sections of the star gem that darken in the presence of a person depends on the level of evil in that person's heart. When the Wand-er is in the presence of the evilest persons, the silver star gem's five sections would turn completely black, and the growls of lions would fill the air as if warning the villains. Only then would Ra would use Visions of Tonatiuh.
	+ **THE CLAW-OSSAL**: Same as the previous form, but after Ranald (and Ra)'s graduation from Aether World Cosmic University, it transformed, and now consists of a pair of Golden Crystallized blades, one big and one small, joined together by a blue pearl joint made of Heavenly energy. The big blade has three silver crystals growing out of the main blade facing the opposite direction of the Claw-ossal's serrated edges.
	It still retains its ability to change its size from small to big. The three silver crystals are for gripping objects and enemies better so that they will not slip out of Ra's grasp easily. They are as sharp as the blades composing the Claw-ossal itself, and being silver, they deal extra damage to creatures of darkness such as nightmare monsters, vampires, and werewolves.
	As a sword, it can grow small enough to cut holes in walls and to slash vines and dead wood aside from being a weapon, and grow big enough to slice through a mountain or cut a giant monster's head off. Aside from being a sword, it is also a crab claw/pincer that cuts obstacles and enemies like a pair of scissors. As a pincer, it can grow small to be useful in non-combat situations such as trimming hedges and grass, performing delicate surgeries, metalworking, or even clothes making (though Ranald prefers his human form for non-combat situations, he would use his Claw-ossal in its small size for things like medical emergencies and rescues). In combat situations, it can grow to its normal size and be used as a normal sword and pincer to defend against enemies, catch monsters and other villains, and cut through walls, prison bars, and such.
	+ **THE HEART OF THE ARAW GINTO**: Same as the previous form.

**Vehicles**

Same as the previous form

**Move, Special Moves, and Hyper Moves**

In addition to the above Move, **The Tied-Dye**, these new moves have been added to Ranald's moveset:

* **Roar of Ra**( ●  ● ): Roars at the opponent with Ra, stunning him. When allies hear the roar, they get a morale boost.
* **Rays of Aten**( ●  ●  ● ): Shoots sunbeams from the golden orb above his head.
* **Corona Charge**( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Wreathes his whole body in flames and with his six flaming wings, flies and rams opponent.
* **Solar Pillar**( ●  ●  ●  ● ): With a punch, karate chop, or a foot stomp on the ground, produces a light pillar below a target. Allies targeted by Solar Pillar get healed, while creatures of darkness (Nightmare Realm creatures, vampires) get burn damage.
* **Solar Wind**( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Flaps his six flaming wings at the opponent, generating hot air that purifies and burns him.
* **Moreton Wave**( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Claps his hands or stamps his feet, creating shockwaves that stun and burn target.
* **22-Degree Halo**( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Spins around to form a halo around his body, and fires it from himself at enemies within his circular hit radius.

**Martial Arts**

* **Ra's Golden Griffin Crystallized Fist Style**: A martial art designed by Ranald based on his and his guides' fighting styles. It focuses on courage, strength, and versatility.
	+ **RA'S CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT-CLAW Style:**
		- **Sekhmet Claw** ( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Deals burning scratches at the target with left and right claws.
		- **Hathor Charge** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): Runs at the opponent like an angry bull, and uppercuts him to the sky.
	+ **FIRE SNAKE CHAIN Style:**
		- **Tied-Dye** ( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Same as the previous form, but with the blade wreathed in flames.
		- **Chains of Surya** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): Wreathes the Fire Snake Chain with the flames of the Sun that takes on the shape of a hydra head, then cracks it like a whip to give a million lightning-fast lashes to his target.
		- **Inti Shield of Prominence** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): Uses the flame-clad Fire-Snake Chain to encircle allies to protect them and keep them warm. The flames take on the shape of a hydra head, and Ra can control the chain to attack any opponent threatening his allies like how a snake protects its eggs from predators.
	+ **SPIKE LAUNCHER Style:**
		- **Phoebus Sword Bullets** ( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Shoots sword-bullets wreathed in flames that take on the shapes of lion's or eagle's heads. They insta-kill nightmare spirits but leave scars shaped like the bite marks of lions and eagles on human and other supernaturals.
	+ **SAW-DRILL BLADE Style:**
		- **Burning Shamash Cutter** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): Slashes the opponent with the rotating sword blade edge that bursts into flames.
		- **Turbulent Sol Drill** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): Aims the spinning flame-wreathed Saw-Drill Blade at the target and pierces him.
	+ **WAND-ERer Style:**
		- **Visions of Tonatiuh** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): With a wave of the wand-like Crystallized Sword, he brings a target (or a group of them) into an ever-shifting nightmare prison called Mictlan (either an illusion or a part of the nightmare realm) that resembles the Boogie-man's Field of Nightmares. Once inside Mictlan, Ra can create nightmarish situations to teach wicked people what happens if they continue to take the wrong path. Under Tula's training, the illusions generated are symbolic reflections of the sins the targets committed. For instance, a slothful person gets trapped in a neverending office shift or forced to run from nightmare spirits while a murderer is forced to battle waves of nightmare monsters and spirits until he is exhausted/overwhelmed by them.
		From the outside view, when Ra uses this special move, as he waves the Wand-er, both he and the target disappear in a golden flash of sunlight as if by magic, and a golden prison cage (at the top right of the Wand-er) with black smoke emerging from between its bars appears in their place. That cage contains Mictlan, and if you listen closely, screams can be heard from the inside. But of course, this is an illusion to protect the eyes of mortals from the evil spirits and the sight of the nightmarish situations that Ra wants to put the villains through.
		Nightmare situations are usually illusions manifested into reality from a person's cloudscape due to Ra's overfeeding their bad thoughts with more bad spirits, to the point the evil in the target's cloudscapes overflow and spill into reality, causing them to manifest in front of their eyes, twisting their perception of reality into making them think and feel like what they see and experience is real. But in the nightmare prison, which is a real pocket dimension, the nightmarish situations and scenarios the targets go through are real and could hurt them. But they do not kill, for Ra's not doing it out of anger or an eye for an eye, but to teach them a lesson. What's more, how scary the nightmarish situations in Mictlan are and if they are successful in teaching the lessons varies between targets. A lonely person who became an attention-seeking internet troll could go through one as a punishment and come out with the resolve to never troll again while an evil being like the Devourer of Worlds would get tormented by the denizens of the worlds he ate and yet refuse to repent.
		After the nightmarish scenario results in the victim's change of heart, both he and the target return to reality. Again, from the outside view, this can be seen as Ra and the target leaving the prison cage, which then disappears after its door shuts.
	+ **CLAW-OSSAL Style:**
		- **Amaterasu Luminous Slash** ( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Slashes the target with blade wreathed in Sun-fire.
		- **Lugh Pincers** ( ●  ●  ●  ● ): Snips the limbs or weapons of a target.
	+ **THE HEART OF THE ARAW GINTO Style** ( ●  ●  ●  ●  ●  ●  ●  ● ): Same as the previous Form, but when thrown, the Heart changes into solar energy constructs of thirteen animals representing not only the zodiac constellations and the Sun, but also Ranald's bonds with his Dreamland Dimensional Mate and the twelve guides who taught him their martial arts. A white ram for Aries, a red bull for Taurus, twin silver-grey tigers for Gemini, an orange crab for Cancer, a yellow lion for Leo, a pink snake for Virgo, a jet-black African golden wolf with a pair of scales on its back for Libra, a purple scorpion for Scorpio, a green horse for Sagittarius, a sandy brown goat for Capricorn, a cyan mouse for Aquarius, twin blue sharks for Pisces, and a golden griffin which looks like Ra himself for the Sun. It not just depowers or seals the target's abilities for a year and a day, but restores everyone's health, removes all status ailments and repairs everyone's homes.

## Trivia

* He is illustrated by KambalPinoy of the Torres Twins Entertainment. His original design for his Hyper Form and the Hyper Crystallized Swords are illustrated by Fatcats19.
* Ra is not only named after the Egyptian bird god of the sun, but he's also named after the language that means "Gold" and that's "El Dorado" but it's "Ra" for short. But on the other side note, El Dorado is the Spanish word for 'The Golden One'. There's also El Hombre Dorado ("The Golden Man") or El Rey Dorado ("The Golden King").
* As the Golden Griffin Warrior of the Blazing Sun, many of his Hyper Moves are named for various solar deities or sun-related natural phenomena.
* Solar Pillar, Solar Wind, Moreton Wave, 22-Degree Halo, Hathor Charge, and Inti Shield of Prominence are the only Hyper Moves that are not featured in the novel.
