Appearance

Raye is slightly above average height with a body to match; 5'7" with medium D-cup breasts and good curves along her hips and thighs. Her backside culminates in a nice, round ass where the rear of her uniform normally cascades down. Her dirty blonde hair falls just past her back while the sides frame her face, her bangs going just between her eyes. Also keeps it tied into a small sidebun behind her left ear, fastened by a brown and gold tie and letting the rest spill free. Typically wears a female Karma military uniform consisting of a white dress worn underneath a brown and white cropped jacket. The jacket portion's sleeves and flare are mostly brown while the chest is white, featuring a starched collar where her tie (brown with gold and red accents) hangs. Before combat, Raye links off into a light combat bodysuit consisting of a black innerwear with white armored sections along her legs, hips, torso, and arms along with blade antennas behind each ear; Raye's bodysuit is more of a midpoint before she links further into one of the X-Series units, being much less capable compared to Roze's more standalone armor. Some physical "blemishes" might appear if Raye is pushed to the limits, such as heterochromia under the strain of the Link-Off system or circuit lines appearing on both her skin and clothes as evidence of the physical enhancements she's went through in service. History: Raye came from a normal household in Karma, but hasn't seen her family since leaving to train as a Sky Striker. Taking to the regimen came naturally to her, displaying a particular affinity for rapid learning and a mental flexibility that made her the ideal Sky Striker, quickly earning the title of Sky Striker Ace before the year was out. Somewhat of a prodigy in combat, Raye found herself cleared for live battle soon thereafter where she proudly donned her armor to protect her homeland.

Personality

Due to the high presence of artificial intelligence units within Karma's military administration, Raye can be a little too eager to connect with others should she find the chance. Most of her free time is spent either on maintenance, planning, or solemn reflection on her recent battles, leaving her little in the way of time for a social life. That doesn't mean that she's abnormal though; while Raye is a little contact starved, she is nonetheless a well adjusted individual with very normal habits for a girl her age. She can be outgoing, optimistic, and gets excited or nervous easily among peers, but when it comes to combat she can just as easily clear her mind for the battle ahead. Stoic about combat, keeping a cool head and not letting herself get overwhelmed in the moment, saving that for when she can RTB and safely reflect. Sexual: Even before signing on to wield a Sky Striker, Raye hadn't had much experience with boys. Deployment meant those opportunities passed her by almost entirely as she's yet to have received a vacation from all the fighting. So, while she's still curious about intimacy she's pretty much put those desires in the closet as she focuses on protecting everybody instead. Masturbates regularly, but it's more of a casual thing that she doesn't put much thought into, nor does she get super caught up in it. Virgin.

Social media, popular trends, other humans, the helpful drones around base, solo meditation, mock battles with her Sky Striker Relationships: Duty as a Sky Striker Ace is a solitary one consisting of solo missions without wingmen. Combined by the fact that her return base is staffed entirely by robots and drones, this means that Raye can go days or even weeks without seeing another human being. There aren't many people in her life anymore to begin with, although she tries not to let that bother her. It does mean that she's not very willing to kill another human should she miraculously find one among Spectra's ranks. Roze is one such case, perplexingly being an enemy Sky Striker Ace of around the same age, though their equipment differs rather significantly. Even though Raye has scored combat kills on Roze on various occasions, she refuses to outright eliminate her, instead opting to (unsuccessfully) try her hand at conversation before leaving her alive. This is despite Roze clearly fighting with the intent to kill. Has never actually taken a life before.

Sky Striker Ace - Raye is a dedicated Sky Striker Ace, protecting Karma from any of Spectra's advances.
