.: Age :.
19
.: Personality :.
Rayze is a loner type who barely opens up to anyone. He would always be seen around dark places sleeping or would just be idle on almost anywhere. His mind always wanders and people are often curious as to what he is thinking. Despite his appearance, he is very nice and kind to people. It just so happens that he has a hard time opening up to them. He shows mercy at battles even if it's only a trick. The only person he really opens up to is Karen. He's very protective of her although it's been years since they last saw each other. Though he has high hopes that they will see each other again.
.: Abilities :.
Let's first go to Rayze's strength without his powers.
Rayze is optionally a very fast and powerful fighter even without his powers. He only activates/uses them if he notices that the enemy is strong enough or if he's just too lazy to fight them and wants to end the battle quick. He's expert at hand to hand combat and weapons.
Now on the abilities. Rayze has two abilities named: Dark Steps and Soul of the Shadows. These two are different from each other and has a unique set of usage in battles. Dark Steps mainly focuses on giving Rayze speed and power to his attacks while Soul of the Shadows
is used on confusing enemies. It is also used as a devastating combo generator although he barely uses it.
.: Definition :.
Dark Steps increases his speed and and power. In addition he gains new move depending on the level used. It also has 3 different States named: First Step - The Awakening, Second Step - Death's Door and lastly, Third Step - Awakened Nightmare (Rayze hasn't been into this state yet.) Each state differs from one another but all of them have the same thing in common. It gives him devastating speeds and powers. Each state also has a set of skills and when activated it can be used depending on what state he's in. As we speak, Dark Steps is the most used ability in every situation he is in. So you can say, he always use this ability even if he's not fighting. Now before we go to the definition of the 3 States. I must first make it clear to you guys. Rayze can only activate his ability if he has collected enough particles. Notice, he can only activate the First State (First Step - The Awakening) without the particles because it's the main activator of the other States. For activation of the 3 states, he only taps with his feet. Also, the 3 states have different color. The First Step's color is Dark Red. Second Step's color is Black with Red outline. Lastly the Third Step's color is pure Black.
It all begins here. He activates this ability by tapping his feet into any flat surfaces 1 time. Then you will notice floating particles coming through his feet.
After its activated, Rayze will then gain much more speed and power to his attacks. He can also activate Death Throw, his favorite move. That's it, he gains speed and power to his attacks. Don't expect much cause this is only The Beginning. Also Death Throw is used in anyway he wants. To activate it: He must charge his hands with particles and after that he will grab the enemy's face and throw him with devastating power and will also leave a burned mark on the enemy's face. You can also see the Dark Red trails being left by this state.
Now this is the fun part. This state is much more powerful than the first one. If you compare it, it's like a gap between a baby trying to run and an adult human running. So yeah, imagine the difference. To activate this ability, Rayze must first wait for the First Step to be "warmed up". By that it means Rayze must wait for the first state to be used long enough in battle. After he used the first state long enough, you will notice that the particles start to flicker. By that, he can now activate it by tapping on the floor two times with his feet and jump into the Second Step.
Now, if he is in the Second Step. Rayze will now be able to par with speed-type RHG's. You can also see the trails being left behind by this state and Death Throw will be much more devastating. Enough to kill a human being when used with them and powerful enough to be used for Gladiators. Rayze can now use his finisher move called 5 Steps of Death.
5 Steps of Death is a finisher where Rayze can use it to finish the battle. Before he can use this, he has to wait for the Second Step's particles to flicker and by that, he can then use the finisher. The finisher makes the area go black with no limit range (depending on the battlefield if it has too many spectators or gladiators.). After that, the opponent will see many Rayze coming towards him and if they catch the opponent. He/she will receive many attacks powerful enough to shatter each bones and may leave the opponent to die or won't be able to move. This finisher can shatter everything even the toughest of steel or armor. To activate it, he needs to tap any flat surfaces 5 times with his feet.
This ability cannot be fully explained cause Rayze hasn't been into this state yet. The only time when he was in this mode was when he was still a child. As far as he can remember, when he was in this mode. The difference between this and the other States have a huge gap. Like a human trying to get ahold of a cloud. We can say that this ability is a Total Nightmare.
.: Definition :.
This power is barely used by Rayze but when he was a child, this is his favorite. S.O.T.D is a type of power where he can summon shadows to help him in battle. He uses this advantage to create powerful and unstoppable combos. For example, if Rayze lands an attack, he can then summon a shadow to land another attack and so on. However, the limit number of the shadows are 5 but he only summons 2 or 3 of them. The shadows can be attacked, and if it was attacked. It will disappear but it will re-appear again after a few seconds. This ability has many unique set of skills that can be used in many different ways either to aid him in battle or in his life. Also, Rayze can use this ability without any activation.
This power is where Rayze can summon his shadows to help him in battle either can be summoned by hand gestures or by thought. The shadows has a limit of 5 however Rayze only summons 2 or 3 of them depending on him.
This is used to swap places with either a shadow from S.O.M or from the shadows of any non-living things. The swap speed is really fast. (Use Raven as a reference in Tekken)
Imitate is a Shadow ability. Which means that only shadows have this kind of ability. This ability, as the title, imitates the skills of its user. So the shadows in S.O.M can imitate Rayze's Death Throw ability and others.
This is the finisher move. It can be activated if Rayze successfully summons the fifth shadow. If successful, the area will go black with no limit range. However, it doesn't do attacks but summons un-imaginable nightmares towards it's opponents. The finisher summons the most horrible things the opponent has either it is something they lost or nightmares. No matter how merciless or sadistic the opponent is, it will still summon what they fear the most. It digs down through the opponents mind and drag out the nightmares of the opponent. Because of that, the opponent becomes weak and either dies or makes the opponent unconscious.
.: Weaknesses :.
Rayze can simply overpower a normal human being since he's much more powerful than them however. He can't wait with Gladiators that have powers that's why he only uses his overall strength to test the abilities of his opponents and know them. If you can overpower Rayze before he activates his Dark Steps. Then you will be able to have an advantage against him.
.:Definition :.
Rayze must be very cautious about activating each state because he can't recklessly jump into one state without having enough charged particles. Jumping into a state without enough charged particles are life threatening but in exchange, the power and speed is much more devastating than a charged up Dark Steps.
It doesn't have that much weakness cause it's only the beginning and the activation of this step is rather simple. Also in this State, he's not as fast as speed-type RHG's. This state enhances his speed and power enough to exceed that those speed of a human being.
The weakness of this state is that Rayze cannot exceed the speed of speed-type RHG's like Quickfeet, Ada, Fordz, Erick etc. But it's powerful enough to be parred with them. Also, he will have a hard time breaking the durability of those RHG's that have tough armor or have strong durability.
5 Steps of Death has a short brief before activation and it can be used as an advantage to stop Rayze from fully using it. Also, since it has to be tapped 5 times. It has a disadvantage cause it requires time to activate it. The opponent must also be cautious cause Rayze can activate it without tapping 5 times simultaneously.
Since Rayze hasn't been into this state yet. The weakness cant be explained obviously. However, we can assume that he doesn't want to be in this state so that's a good thing.
.: Definition :.
Since Rayze barely uses this ability and because of that, he mainly uses Dark Steps as his main power point. You can use that as your advantage because this ability is much more dangerous than Dark Steps but much more dangerous if Soul of the Shadows and Dark Steps are combined.
The summoning of these shadows are rather slow and the more summoned shadows there are, the slower the shadows become.
The swap speed becomes slower and slower the more shadows there are on the battlefield. He can only use this ability if Rayze has a summoned shadow or if there are any shadows of non-living things like boxes, lamp posts, lines etc. He cannot go to the shadows of living things like humans, animals etc. Also notice, he can swap places with his shadows but he can only teleport to the shadows of non-living things. There's a difference in that.
The strength of an imitated ability isn't as strong as the original ability. That means that the Imitated Death Throw ability isn't as strong as the original one. So it is only used as a combo generator.
Rayze doesn't like this finisher cause him too gets affected by it. Anyone who was inside the range gets affected by it. To cancel out the ability, the opponent has to attack Rayze before the full activation of Shadow's Nightmare because it has a short brief before activation. Use this as an advantage before it's too late.
.: Story :.
.: A Cruel World :.Rayze doesn't know anything about his past. All he knows is that he was in a very cruel world where people hated him and despised him. They treated him as a threat and they always do cruel things to him. Because of this, he was forced to live in an abandoned house with his "shadow parents". This "shadow parents" act as if they were like his real parents. They fed him, took care of him, protected him. However, since they're shadows, they don't talk and because of this. Rayze became more clueless about his past. He lived up his life with no one to talk to and no one to open up to. He became sad at how his life is gonna be. After years went by, Rayze became much more lonely when he found out his "shadow parents" disappeared. Because of this he was forced to leave the house and for years he went on seeking answers as to what he really is that is until he found The RHG. He joined and became a member of the clan Slaughterous.
