Biography:
Raphael grew up in the bustling city of Luca with his mother and father. Acquiring a rather prestigious education due to being brought up in a rich household, Raphaels life seemed like it was going to be settled for greatness. He grew up to work in Luca's media industry and was employed in several jobs, whether it was an announcer for Blitzball, working in the news, or even handing out fliers, Raphael loved every day and did all he could to bring joy to everyone he met. A loving man, who would soon marry an even more loving wife, Angela Valkyria, of the Crusaders at the age of eighteen and later that year, at age nineteen, the two had a beautiful little child. Esther Valkyria.
Raphael loved his wife and daughter as they lived peacefully in Luca, how could they not? Everything was peaceful, the calm had begun its 10 year start the day they got married and survived sins destruction, thanks to Braska, everything was great, with their child being born two years after it begun. Eight years of absolute peace graced them. But when Esther turned 8 years old... Ten years after Braska's noble sacrifice... Angela was called back to the crusaders, and it was painfully obvious as to why.
Esther was confused at the fighting, Raphael begged Angela to stay, but her duties demanded she join her Crusaders to fight at Operation Mi'ihen. As you can probably tell as you're reading this, Raphaels loving tail takes an incredibly downward spiral from here on out... Raphael, having to cradle her loving daughter in her arms, screaming at the top of her lungs "I don't want mummy to die, I don't want mummy to die!" Made Raphaels heart shrink in fear... He couldn't let it happen... And so he promised Esther.
"Lets follow mummy, and make sure she's okay, yeah?". Raphael smiled, Esther stopped crying, however... it was such a dumb decision, a poor judgement which Raphael would carve into his heart every waking moment from days after now... Eventually, the two would reach the site where Operation Mi'ihen would begin, of course, non Crusaders were unwelcome, but Raphael wasn't afraid to sneak inside to find their Angela... And that's... When sin attacked in the confusion... The utter destruction of sin completely devastated both the mushroom rock road along with the entire beach. Raphael was too late, and in bringing his daughter to the chaos, caused an event to occur... that not even he could believe. Children are suppose to bury their parents... It should never be the other way around...
In the chaos of Sins power, Raphael was lucky enough to survive the carnage at the beach... Upon his awakening, his entire left arm had been entirely shredded off, the heat of the blast luckily having cauterised the wound, but his upper right side of his face had been blasted severely, with his eye completely blinded. The confusion of the scene made Raphael forget about the pain, but that wouldn't protect him from the emotional pain he would receive.
Raphael searched endlessly, scrambling at the corpses which piled on the beach, he had found his loving wife... in pieces, ripped limb from limb, her chocobo dead alongside her, barely recognisable, aside from the wedding ring which laid upon her ruined hand, and to her side, laid the corpse of a caucasian little girl, with beautiful white glistening hair and a blood stained white childrens dress... Esther...
Raphael broke, he could only scream in agony, of sheer loss, of pain, of hatred, of denial, of regret, all he could do was scream, clutch the several head of his daughter and ring finger of his wife close to his chest until some of the survivors had to desperately pull him away from his child and wife's mangled corpses... He screamed until his voice had all but gone, but still he wept, crying until not a single tear could continue to drip from his horrified face. It was then, as he wheezed in an attempt to cry, that he heard his daughters voice...
"Don't be sad daddy!"
Raphael's heart had stopped... Upon looking in the direction of the voice, he saw his daughter... They say those who don't reach the farplane, if their wills are strong enough come back as an unsent... taking on the appearance before their demise, they are obligated to stay in the world for better or for worse... Raphael did not care, unsent or fiend, he cradled his child close to him and wept cheerfully, the Al Bhed were able to completely fix up his arm, with Raphael able to lie about his daughter, keeping her secret of being an unsent a secret, however not even she knew she was an unsent, such an innocent child, kept into the mortal world because she didn't want her poor daddy being alone...
With the eternal calm occurring, Raphael would make sure she would always be safe, keeping her entertained with luxurious presents, wonderful luxury items, everything a daddy could do for her little angel. Unsent or not, nobody... was going to take her away from him, that involves killing anyone who gets suspicious, killing anyone to keep his daughter happy and making sure nobody stood in his way from making her life totally free of fear. It's been 25 years since the eternal calm, now at age 51, Raphael approached Besaid, with Esther by his side... To enjoy a wonderful day of Blitzball, not knowing of the events that would soon transpire.
Personality:
"Daddy loves you..."
Raphael is an incredibly protective individual whom only shows his loving, affectionate and merciful side around his innocent daughter. To everyone else, Raphael can be a monster, doing things which will only benefit the safety of his daughter, putting his own life in jeopardy for his daughter, putting the lives of many people to the potential chopping block if they so much as speak ill about his darling little girl. Having no qualms about murdering, stealing, torturing to keep her safe, she is the only thing in his world that matters, and he would purge the world into flames if it tried to strip her away from him, she is the only thing keeping his humanity in check, the only thing in the world keep his fragile mind together. HeR beautiful smile, her shining eyes with her mothers elegant, stunning hair... A literal angel in his eyes... And he'll kill anyone who puts her in harms way. To others who know nothing about him, he appears as a insulting, despicable, merciless, cold hearted bastard, but to those who know of his true intentions, one can't help but feel sympathetic...
