APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY
Appearance:
Raida is a medium sized man of mixed asian decent splashed with the features of a single European parent. His rather plain features are distinguished by two piercing dark eyes that betray his age. His most noticeable features lay hidden under his clothes, the various scars accumulated through a life of surviving in the gutters of society. He usually keeps himself cleanly dressed, and is know to occasionally dabble into more fashionable attire, but for the most part he is not too terribly noteworthy in any real regard.
Raida does take his hygiene rather seriously though, though what soaps and deodorants he uses are usually beaten by the lingering scent of cigarettes that follows him around. Muscularly lean and well toned, there is little fat on his body, a result of his ridiculous training regiment and his various attempts to beat habits with healthy activity. And his teeth are very white.

Personality:
Raida is a steadfast and hotheaded ally of fairness and standing up for the little guy. Born sickly and disabled, he developed a complex about self-improvement and not letting the world look down on him. A work-a-holic, among other tendencies, Raida is an obsessive person who often struggles to separate himself from his vices. Despite his grim-upbringing, Raida is a kind and bright individual who tries to keep an optimistic attitude toward life and what the future holds.
Because of his family history, Raida avoids most substances that potentially hold addictive properties, meaning he has never touched a drop of alcohol or taken prescription medication of his own volition. The only exception came from his exposure to cigarettes, which he got hooked on in his youth, much to his disgust. It is his secret shame. His eating habits are equally imbalanced, with his love of coffee and distaste of anything even remotely sweet.
While mostly a friendly person, Raida is particularly sensitive about his hearing and muteness. Despite being able to read lips as easily as most can hear, he gets easily ticked off when anyone treats him with padded gloves or brings undue attention to his disability. While mostly mute, he will talk to the best of his ability when absolutely necessary, though having to due so is both humiliating and infuriating to him.

HISTORY
Raida has had a very busy life. Born to an Asian lounge singer and an American Soldier, he was cursed with problems before he was even born. His birth parent's troubling lifestyle was a major factor in this. While pregnant, his mother failed to kick some serious drug addictions, resulting in a couple complications further down the line. His mother, who was already in poor health did not survive the birth, and the complications resulted in several defects to arise in postnatal care. Protective services took possession of him shortly afterwards, shipping him off to be a burden and ward of the government.
For most of his childhood, Raida was deaf and mute, speaking only when absolutely necessary. Shuffled from one foster-home to the next, he was always quite a problematic child, from his habit of picking fights and sticking his nose where it didn't belong, he was a bit too much of a handful for his keepers to really handle. At the earliest age he could, he filed for emancipation, opting for self-sufficiency over comfort and dependence. When he was barely through his teenage years he received a life changing experimental surgery to restore his hearing. Despite it not being a critical success, he regained some receptiveness in one ear, allowing him to hear rough sounds in a muted tone, but nothing of clarity or distinction.
For years he got by doing odd jobs and mostly keeping his nose clean and out of trouble, but his inability to idly watch people get pushed around nudged him down the path of vigilanteism. Eventually in his travels he was confronted by one of the first government appointed heroes, both chastising him for his reckless behavior and guiding him to pursuing a career as a licensed and legal hero. Deciding to attempt going down the road of legitimacy, he applied for his license and sought to work under the established hero Vega as someone who could serve as an inspiration to others who walk the road he has traveled. Like a moth drawn to the flame of his light, Raida followed his mentor into the dark underbelly of society, drawing upon necessity to break his limits and emerge several years later a much stronger creature.
