fingerprint Nature
Mannerisms - What mannerisms does Raef have?

Raef is generally sort of stiff, even when he's with friends, because he was exiled to the forest (a life sentence) at four. (See Backstory) He's not used to social interactions, and sometimes tries to avoid it. His idea of a celebratory dinner is soup, which is almost all he ever eats because food is scarce.
Once he trusts you though, he'll loosen up. It's surprising how clueless he can be with social life, because for all the years living out in the forest, he's amassed a LOT of survival knowledge.

Happy:
• Smiles a little more
• Turns ankle when standing; itching to practice but too nice to say so
• Makes better soup than usual
• Sort of loosens up, pretty easygoing

Sad:
• Runs hand through hair
• Goes away to practice Taekwondo
• Puts up 'inner shell'
• No smiles, serious and dreary

Nervous:
• Also runs hand through hair
• Twirls the red ends of his hair
• On edge
• Skittish

Scared:
• Looks around for something to kick
• Avoids eye contact
• Mutters to himself
• Looks cornered
• Tries not to show he's scared

Excited:
• Smiling, less shy
• If it's something really good, he'll often kick the air for no reason
(his version of pinching himself and letting out his excitement)
• Laughs easily
• Makes more soup
(his way of celebrating: more soup with maybe an extra ingredient or two)

 
Motivations - What motivates Raef most?

He has trapped a Night Mare (vaguely horse-like shadow form made of your fears) in a spoon, but he doesn't know how to get rid of it. Then Abi, Knox and Mallory come. He travels with them until they figure out how to get rid of it.

He wants to get rid of it to show his village that he isn't evil and he won't murder them in their sleep. He doesn't want to live his life being feared. He wants to prove that he's not a bad guy.

 
Flaws - What flaws does Raef have?

He's very mistrusting at first (see Backstory), and though he's a formidable ally, he'll take a while to decide to trust you, something that almost cost him his life.

 
Prejudices - What prejudices does Raef have?

He thinks his village is bonkers for exiling him, but he still wants to prove himself to them. Fate sucks that way.

 
Talents - What talents does Raef have?

• He's very, very good at taekwondo
• He's a pickpocket because man cannot live on soup alone
• He can fight with either his hands, feet or soup spoons as a weapon

 
Hobbies - What hobbies does Raef have?

• Cooking and experimenting new soup recipes
• Practicing taekwondo
• Painting with mashed berries (he usually paints landscapes and pictures of the village)

 
groups Social
Politics - What politics does Raef have?

He's a LOT behind the times, seeing as he lives in the forest and gets out once a month to steal food....

I don't think he even knows who the current Prime Minister is....

 
Favorite color - What is Raef ’s favorite color?

Dusty red

 
Favorite food - What is Raef ’s favorite food?

Soup, soup, and more soup.

He could have rabbits or frogs in his soup, but Raef just won't kill anything. No matter if it's a daemon or a guinea pig, he won't. He's perfectly fine with breaking three of your bones and giving you a concussion, though.

 
Favorite possession - What is Raef ’s favorite possession?

His soup spoons. They double as weapons, and they are used to cook.

 
Favorite weapon - What is Raef ’s favorite weapon?

His soup spoons. You can bring soup spoons anywhere. Swords? Not as much.

And his spoons are deep and quite useful for bonking people on the head and knocking them out.

He likes jaguars

equalizer Backstory
What is this character's backstory?

When Raef was born, his dad hated him. He misspelled Raef's name because Raef was crying so loudly. 'Twas the start of a horrible father.

Raef's dad's job was, as Raef's mom put it, to fly around the world and yell at people. Raef and his mom were alone most of the time, and when Raef's dad WAS home, he spent that time yelling at Raef.

Raef's father was an aggressive man. Raef's mom signed Raef up for taekwondo lessons. It was a subtle threat to Raef's father, that if he hit im or anything like that, soon Raef would be able to hit him back. Much harder.

When Raef was four, his mom died. His dad was overseas, came home to yell at Raef, and left again. The last thing Raef ever heard his father say was "I hate you as much as she loved you."

Raef's dad died in a plane crash three months later, after ending Raef's taekwondo lessons because he thought they were dangerous. Now Raef's village is convinced Raef murdered his parents. They take drastic measures, and when he's sleeping, they dump his onto a big rock in the middle of the forest.

(Note: there are no bears in the forest, I can't write a village THAT cruel)

Raef has been living alone (with the exception of George) in the forest since that day, leaving once a week to steal some water to drink and one edible to add to his soup. Once he took a Swiss Army Knife, but that was for survival.

 
account_circle Quirk
What is a quirk this character has?

When Raef is mad or extremely happy, sometimes he'll punch the air in front of him. If it's really bad, he'll walk away and kick a tree. It usually results in him spraining his ankle, and the tree looking a little worse for wear.
