Personal Style: Although most wouldn't expect it, Raynor loves fashion. One of his deepest regrets in life is that there aren't more choices for men. He likes to go for a clean and polished, if not somewhat, rugged look. Light browns and reds are his favorite colors, but he also has a soft spot in his heart for black. He had an emo/goth phase as a teenager that continued into his cage fighting career. When drunk, he'd call himself the God of Goths back in those days. His hair is always kept fairly short and curly as well. Sometimes he'll apply a bit of eyeliner to accent his eyes.
Psychology
Protective * Secretive * Brave * Selfish * Intelligent * Introverted
Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Dating Agent Sparks
Personality: Raynor is a bit of a cryptic individual. Whether it's through what he calls his Charm or just his personality, he never is completely straight with someone. He could convince a Republican to raise taxes on the rich without breaking a sweat or a sorority girl to to skip THE mixer of the year. Yet while some might think he's charismatic because of this, he's much more of a dry humor sort of person. He doesn't make a fuss if he can help it and tends to work in the background.
Now, he's also incredibly brave and protective. He'll go out of his way to protect what he believes his worth saving - whether that's his own interests or those of another person. This ambition and resiliency can come off as selfishness on occasion, which isn't entirely wrong. Raynor is looking out for number one - but if he deems you to be a friend, make no mistake, he'll help you as well with all of his power - as long as it doesn't put his own life in danger.

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Raynor was struggling to find meaning in his work as a cage fighter. While he was good at it, his heart just wasn't in it and he had become estranged from his family at that point. S.H.I.E.L.D. had the resources to help him find his missing friend, as well as offering an exciting career and the chance to have a family once again. He never imagined himself becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, but he doesn't regret the choice, even after nine years in the field.
General History: Raynor comes from a family of people with abilities. His father is a light manipulator, as is his brother - and his mother has empathic powers. Beyond his immediate family, he has an uncle with lightning manipulation, another uncle trained in magic (although he's adopted), and a cousin with control over water. If he had been born without powers, it would have been an incredibly unusual event - and in his father's words, an insult to a family line that has stretched back for eons.
His childhood was fairly happy. Living on the Lofoten Islands in Norway, Raynor grew up speaking numerous different Scandinavian dialects - travelers would come through and some people would go to his grandfather for religious purposes, as he was a spiritual leader when it came to the old Norse ways. His grandfather ensured that he learned how to read and speak Old Norse before he even began to think about learning English.
As a teenager, he discovered that one of his closest friends, Lana, had gone missing. He took it upon himself to track her down, leaving his home and heading to the United States. To earn money, he ended up entering himself in bar fights, having a surprising knack and talent for it. He earned enough money to have threats made against his life, with many mistaking him for a mutant - though he tried to avoid using his powers too much when fighting. He felt dirty when he used his powers for entertainment - he'd rather use his muscles.
He never did find Lana, but S.H.I.E.L.D. did manage to find Raynor. He had changed his last name to Blake and they offered him a spot in their Operations academy. It was his reputation as a fighter in seedy circles that caught their attention, but his powers and large range of languages that sealed the deal. He went off to Operations, graduating at the top of his class, and continued to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. in the field ever since. He's still keeping an eye out for his friend, using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources to do so.
