Physical Description

A massive, towering beast, his dull grey flesh littered with spikes everywhere you could imagine. Rows line his arms and legs, spikes coming from his knuckle bones on both feet and hands. His face is a mix between a sort of goblin and a dragon; a short beak-like snout like a dragon, but the rest of his features remain slightly humanoid. A thick mane of black fur flows down from his head, back and tail. On the tip of his tail, wrists and ankles are tufts of fur, also black in colour. Two saber fangs jot from the sides of his mouth and a horn like that of a rhino sits atop his nose. Two born-coloured horns sprout out beside each of his tall ears, giving him a triceratops look. Two broad wings sprout from his back, complete with opposable thumbs and an extra digit for grasping things. His most distinctive feature are his full-body tribal tattoos, covering his face, legs, arms, wings, back and tail.

Common Attire

Nothing more than a dull, grey loincloth. On occassion he may wear his clan's pendants and jewelry, but that is only worn for special reasons.

Personality

Brief History

Centuries ago he was the guardian of a native African tribe. The tribe referred to him as 'Nag Kondukteur' or 'Night Guard' since that was his job. He would stand watch over the village, driving away opposing tribes or wild animals that posed a threat. The village believed him as the bringer of good seasons and calm nights as his duty continued throughout several generations of the tribe's life.

One year, a clan of gargoyles that resented humans attacked Rayg's village while he was absent, leaving Rayg to come back to a slaughter. The elders survived and found Rayg in the bloodied mess when they came forth from their hiding, immediately assuming he had killed the tribes people. In an angry mob, the survivors drove Rayg away from the village.

A journey of self discovery was all Rayg had as he traveled Africa, watching...but not interfering with other tribes. As the times changed, Africa changed and it pained him. Unable to find happiness in his homeland, he migrated to North America where he roams the cities of America at night...his only escape from solitude being his two best friends: Anubys Hellhorn and Patchwork, whom he accidentally stumbled upon.
