Ray

Ray is a major character from Shattered Wilds. He is a member of the outlaw rebels. He has an eldritch cannon companion named Uttu. He becomes the DMPC after episode 13. He's also made an appearance in Shadows of the Old World.

## Appearance

Raymond stands short at 5'2". He has black hair with white tips, giving it an overall silver appearance. He has golden, starry eyes that lack sclera that will shift in tone and brightness depending on his mood. He wears a black shirt, black pants, metal boots that look like wolf paws, a pair of metal gauntlets/gloves that double as clawed weapons, and a silver and blue-trimmed kilt lined with grey fur. He also wears a cloak identical in design to his kilt, and a blue pendant.

Later on, in Shadows Of The Old World, he's shown with a different type of cape and a gasmask.

## Personality

Raymond loves to laugh, and has no problems with laughing at other people's annoyance. He is a bit of a prankster, having played a trick on Panne regarding her food, and even following the party to watch the reaction to said prank. He also has a strong spiteful streak, even openly stating that the more he's told to do something, the more he want to do the opposite. Despite his clearly playful, mischievous personality, Raymond has a darker, far more serious side. He loses all smiles and laughs when talking about a serious topic, and shows no hesitation about threatening death. He also is pretty caring, being very swift to chase a clearly upset Panne despite not knowing her very well.

## Abilties

Raymond has various technological gadgets to use in combat, mostly focusing on guns and explosives. He's also somewhat proficient in alchemy and replicating magical items such as Simons alchemy jug. When his anger is pushed to it's limits, he tends to fall into a state called the "Mad Dog", where he loses all reason, and instead of his gadgets uses the claws of his gauntlets and his fangs to rip into enemies, uncaring of what happens to himself during that.

His most well known pieces of equipment include;

* - Rocket boosted roller-skates (Featured exclusively in Shadows of the Old World)
* - Rifle named Troublemaker (Featured exclusively in Shadows of the Old World)
* - Shotgun named Oathbreaker (Featured exclusively in Shattered Wilds)

## Relationships

### Simon

Ray trusts Simon the most out of the party for having a level head. Because of this, he winds up confiding in Simon about his previous relationship with Acharn. Simon mentions that he feels a kinship with Ray, and openly calls him his friend.

### Fenix

Fenix was the first to go after Ray when he was visibly agitated by discussion of Acharn. He reassured the man, and did his best to comfort him, something Ray openly appreciated.

Later in Aldcoast, Fenix comes to talk to Raymond again when he is depressed from seeing what has happened in town. He encourages him to actively do something about it instead of sitting around moping, which Raymond quickly responds to.

### Panne

Panne was the second person to go after Ray when he was agitated by discussion of Acharn. She told him he reminded her of one of the children she helped raise, and offered to help Raymond find the man who hurt him. Ray was very appreciative of her offer and wound up taking her up on it, deciding to join the party after they dealt with Hawkguard.

### Acharn

Ray was a lover of Acharn for over a year. After Acharn reunited with an old friend, he betrayed Ray because his hatred burned more than love did. Ray got the ends of his formerly elf-like ears burned off. As a result, he despises the man.

### Toryn Hawkguard

Raymond and Toryn have a good relationship. He shows her respect and talks to her comfortably, and she is aware of Raymond's past with Acharn.

### Kimirial

Raymond is friends with Kimirial. He casually calls her Kimmy, and she jokingly lectures him about laughing at her.

### Uttu

Ray created Uttu as a dear companion. He treats her like a daughter and is protective of her.

### Olwen

Ray is a part of Olwen Edgeworth's police force while he was in Directian.

### Flint

Ray has a kinship with Flint. After he's called Flint's brother by Seven, that kinship grows stronger.
