Background: Rayken was born to a small family, in a small village, living on a small island in the south Pacific. The moment he opened his eyes to reveal huge purple irises he was considered special. He was dubbed; “The Honest One” and all the village chiefs would come to him seeking honesty and truth.
From the age of 3 he was forced to sit in among meeting of the high priests and listen to endless babbling. He never got the childhood that all the other children had received. He would watch out windows with envy at the others playing together. Late at night you could hear him crying.
At age 7 he discovered something very unique about himself. He found that he could move small pieces of dirt and rock with his mind. He toyed with it for a long while until he could throw rocks rather long distances. He was overjoyed to have something the others didn’t even though he couldn’t share this information with anyone.
At age 16 he was put through the rigorous training of the village to enter manhood. There was an obstacle course that had to be completed within three days. His father had finished in 26 hours, which was a record for the village. Rayken entered the course and used his new found powers to beat it in a mere 16 hours. The village elders bestowed upon him a very special gift. This gift was an emerald tipped spear.
This spear, Rayken found, contained special powers. He could cause plants to grow or die if he so chose to. He came to the elders and told them of his gift but they laughed in his face. He tried to prove it to them but he was embarrassed and his powers weren’t cooperating. Instead he made a fool of himself. The elders took him for a fool and demanded he return the spear to them, for now fool should wield such a weapon.
Rayken ran home to find guards surrounding his house. They lunged for him but he called some rocks that slammed into them. He ran off to the forests to hide. He could hear people crashing through the trees around him. He shoved the edge of the spear into the ground and called all his powers to come protect him. There was a bright light and it seemed the ground beneath him was trying to swallow him whole and then everything went black.
Rayken woke on the deck of a ship. He opened his eyes to a young blonde girl staring at him. He jumped up and looked around at the crew. “Where am I?” he stammered. The crew later informed him that they were sailing to his island when it seemed to be swallowed by the ocean itself. They later found him drifting on some debris. They informed him that he was the only survivor.
He came to America to start a new life. His powers he chose to hide and never use again. He keeps his spear in the back of his closet so as to remind him of the friends and family he lost. It’s been 7 years since that horrible accident and his life is now on the right track. He is working for a huge computer company and is perfectly content in an apartment by himself.
