Mentor|
Rak's uncle Chorazin was his primary mentor as he grew up. His mother was of the dragon bloodline, but her powers hadn't developed as powerfully as her brother's powers. Rak's father was a normal human and was away on business a lot. Rak would go to Chorazin often to get training in his dragon powers. They were of the bloodline of a water dragon and Rak was very quick to learn all that Chorazin had to teach him. He soon matched Chorazin and had to begin learning and growing on his own now.

In Depth Appearance|
Rak's human form is nothing special, but certainly nothing bland either. He tends to cross multiple styles quit often and very inrestingly. Although he longboards his favorite shoes are sneakers or boat shoes. He never wears socks either so flip-flops are also common for him as well. He fights the smell in his shoes with baking soda rather than wearing socks. He really dislikes denim so he is always wearing some form of cargo pants or khakis or occasionally even dress pants. He claims they are comfy, so it's not uncommon to see him doing things like climbing a tree in boat shoes, dress pants and a sweater. He likes shorts that come to his knees and other than that it's a shot in the dark as to what style he'll wear. Even when exercising he wears basketball shorts, because he like how they are longer. Even though again most say soccer shorts are much better for running. He doesn't like to wear many layers, at all. This is why he also likes sweaters. Jackets aren't needed if the sweater is warm enough, and quite often if he is feeling lazy and thinks he can get away with it, he'll only wear a hoodie or jacket out. T-shirts are common and he occasionally wears tanktops. He likes some name brands like Nautica, but really likes finding obscure name brands that aren't over-advertised. Really how he dresses himself comes down to max comfort without looking like a slob. His style really comes out to be a cross between skater, hipster, and preppy all in one. He has no piercings or tattoos or outstanding features in his human form. He can transform completely into a blue humanoid dragon though. He has the ability to change certain features as he wants as well. If he wants horns and a tail as a human he can do that. If he wants a scaly back and claws he pull only those out as well. In fact Rak hardly ever goes full dragon. It tends to ruin his clothes. Especially the tail, although very powerful can be very embarassing for him as well.

Powers|
The dragon bloodline have very strong beings. Physically Rak is very strong. He always wanted to be the fastest around so his legs are significantly stronger than his arms. The combination of these and his wings give him a tremendous speed and jump. He can't fly but his wings do allow him to land softly from any height even while holding someone. He can breathe underwater and endure tremendous pressures and rapid pressure changes. The dragon bloodline also came with a few powers as well. Rak can manipulate and change the temperature of liquids inside of him or with his tongue. He mostly uses this to spit ice bullets or boil water, though he does try spitting out an ice rose to impress girls sometimes. He also has a limited control of weather in that he can create a fog around him almost any time he needs. Finally Rak can also manipulate the liquid parts of blood. This gives him some enhanced healing and resistances. He can share this with others, but his manipulation comes from inside of him so his tongue has to be in contact with the blood, leaving most resistant to his help unless very dire.
|
Power Weakness|
Rak has a very strong need for water. Although he can carry a large reserve of water like a camel, using his powers dehydrates him very quickly. Dry and arid areas are very bad for him. Heat and cold aren't problems for him until they start reaching extremes. Rak also has to be in dragon form to gain the benefits. He can change his internal organs and his powers are always available, but improved armor or claws require him to change.

Quriks | Habits | Oddities|
Rak is very decent for the sake of that's what is appropriate, but he really does actually like being in the nude. He often takes the opportunity to be that way when no one is around. That's also a reason he doesn't like to wear many clothes or layers of clothes. He also likes to take long showers, which isn't too odd for a waterdragon, but to others it seems weird. He tries not to be a showboat, but with his active nature he never lets a challenge go and come across as one sometimes. He's slightly OCD having a set way for certain things. He normally is able to change the way he thinks they should be set if he thinks it is a good change. He has a snort that he almost does habitually that some think is a laugh. He has often explained that it is him clearing his sinus and not laughing innapropriately. He only drinks before and after his meals. He also has a hard time dealing with emmotions, but that comes out more in his personality.
|
Hobbies | Talents|
Rak is obviously a great swimmer and very fast, but he is also pretty athletic. He plays all sports, but he is best at soccer and volleyball. He likes all sorts of games, and the more rules they have the better. Thinking and strategy are enjoyable to him so those aren't a hindrance when it comes to games. He also likes to snowboard, longboard, wakeboard, and surf.Sailing and diving are relaxing hobbies of his. He likes to try new things as well so he tends to come off as willing to do anything as long as it's with others. He dislikes doing anything by himself, so is often doing nothing when alone.
|
Likes|
He likes challenges and conquering them, and he is very stubborn in sticking to challenges until he has conquered it. He likes stories and the ideas they bring. He likes to debate and often finds himself disagreeing with others just to defend a point that he may not agree with. He likes others and is able to make almost anyone a friend. Not a point he takes pride in or feels hurt if someone doesn't like hime, but just a part of his character. He likes all animals, and isn't afraid of them like most are.
|
Dislikes|
He doesn't like eating. It's not that he doesn't like the food always, it's just that he wishes eating weren't necessary to survive. He doesn't like things he thinks are dumb. If he has a better idea or sees someone do something stupid he tends to look down on it or them. He really dislikes drama and is really good at avoiding and ignoring it. He hates almost anything dry and arid. Whatever it is, it could probably be better if it were moist. He doesn't like to read a lot. It's not that he's bad at it or never reads, but he just likes stories and he feels that movies are quicker and video games are more interactive. He also doesn't like those with a lack of self-control. He takes a lot of care into controling himself and his body and feels that others should be able to do the same.
|
Fears|
He actually has a lot of fears, but he doesn't like that emotion so he often squelches it. A few fears he can't control are helplessness, loss of control, and being completely alone. He is very scared of not being able to help others in a time of need. He has a decent deal of power and not being able to use it, or it not being enough is a thought that lurks in the back of his mind. He prides himself on his self-contol of both his actions and his body. Losing that control to rage or the temptation of power is another fear he occasionally thinks about. The third is a fear he isn't completely aware of himself. He is very good at making friends and relating to others, but the circumstances that make him feel like he is the only one scare him and bring him to a dark despair. He is normally quick to reassure himself he can't be the only one, but some things are very specific to himself.

Personality|
♦ Selfless ♦ Haughty ♦ Patient ♦ Distant ♦
Rak normally appears very positive and merry. He wouldn't be described as emotionless, but that is more or less what he has become. He has a desire to end suffering, but the state of the world and hopelessness to fix it have stunted his emotions. Instead of allowing himself to feel constant sadness for others, he squelches sadness. Instead of getting angry at every stupid thing people do, he ignores there actions and controls his anger. Instead of being depressed he makes himself do what he enjoys to forget lonliness. He may always seem jovial but that's just because he knows life sucks and that good things are a reason to be happy and bad things are just to be expected. Few know that is how he views he world as he is scared they'll think he is dark or depressed. This makes it hard for him to relate to others emotions sometimes making him feel awkward and out of place. It also makes it hard for others to get to know him deeply. It's easy to like him. It's almost his goal to make others happy as making himself happy is empty. He seeks the happiness he gives to others for himself as well.
His mind is also always running. He enjoys stories to give him new daydreams, otherwise he may be thinking of senarios in games or fights. He also thinks of lifes mysteries and debates both sides of arguments with himself quite often. Rak has thought of a lot and if you bring up something he hasn't thought about it's bound to be on his mind for the next few days. He is rather quick witted and decently charming. He is very honest and this can come out as being rather blunt, but he can normally talk his way out looking rude. He likes criticism as he is very willing to change and improve himself. He gives others the respect they desreve and expects the same in return. He also trusts everyone and is very quick to make anyone who breaks that trust regret it.

History|
Rak grew up next to a beach with his two parents. His father was a rich businessman and as such worked a lot. His mother was stay at home and would take care of Rak and the house. Even though his father was normal he knew of the dragon bloodline. Ever since birth there was a good chance he had dragon genes. They began to show themselves around the time he was a toddler. It started by manifesting scales and other physical features. His mother quickly began to train him to control even these simple powers. As he got older he quickly mastered all his mother could teach him. His mother's brother lived nearby and visited a few times teaching him more control. Soon he got eager to learn more about his powers and began to visit Chorazin and get training at his residence. Sometimes spending the weekend training, Rak enjoyed becoming more powerful.
As Rak grew more powerful a problem began to present itself. Chorazin had warned him not to use any powers around others, but his competitive nature tended to get the best of him at times. Rak never hurt anyone fortunately, but Chorazin saw how he needed and outlet. He trid his best to teach Rak self-control while giving him a way to use his powers, but Rak needed to be able to use them more freely. Chorazin remembered attending Vigilante Village and thought it would be perfect for Rak. The camp was exactly what he needed. His powers were able to be used more freely, and he was able to grow exponentially. Chorazin saw how Rak was surpassing even himself and did his best to make sure the power wouldn't run to his head. A dragon's blood is a very danerous thing for a human to control. This will be Rak's fourth year at Vigilante Village.
