Head Ray has, for some reason, a sort of Western look on his face. His eyes lack the 'tiltness' and narrowness that defines Asian eyes, his being more wide and straight. This causes some misunderstanding about his heritage, though he is fully Japanese, even though he grew up in America. He has a well-shaped nose and a straight bridge. It is obvious that his nose has never been broken before. He has red lips, considerably thin for a male. He has a heart-shaped face with a slightly wide chin.
He has long hair, dyed from black to brown, that reaches down to his chin on all sides. At front, he parts it at his left hairline, his fringe striding down to his right eyebrow, leaving a trail of side bangs on his left. The hair on his back is longer, though, reaching halfway down his neck.
Body Standing just 5'10'' and weighing 145 LBS, Ray has a very average figure. He is neither too muscular, nor too skinny. Of course, that does not mean that he has the physical capabilities of an average human being, for he still has some strength in those average muscles of his. He has a six pack, though the outlines of his muscles are faint. His chest muscles are not what you might call impressive, but they're not pathetic either. Despite that, he is still lanky.
He has a very fair skin complexion due to his Japanese ethnicity, his skin clear of wrinkles, scars and pimples. He takes good care of his body, bathing quite regularly and thoroughly.
Arms Ray has considerably long arms with an abundant amount of muscles. Like the rest of his body, his arms are somewhat averagely built, if not slightly above average. Also, his skin here is smooth and scarless. He holds very little hair in his arms, much due to his Asian heritage.
Legs Like his arms, his legs are somewhat averagely-built, though they are leaning more to the lanky side. This, however, does not hinder him in anyway, as he is the speed-based fighter who prefers to move around than to be able to stay secured on one spot. Also, like his arms, he has very little hair here, thus giving him that smooth sexy look were he ever to be naked. If he ever was naked, that is.
Apparel & Accessories:
Head Ray is somewhat proud of his hair, so he wears very little head wear, unless, of course, when necessary, like when it is raining and he does not want to get his hair wet, or any other occasion that requires him to disguise himself. Other than that, he likes to wear aviators, mostly black or dark brown. He also has a pair of silver-rimmed sunglasses, which happens to be his favourite pair of eye-wear. He does not wear any particular necklaces as of yet, nor does he have any piercings to show off.
Body Ray has just that ability to look good in anything he wears, be it casual, preppy or just a random mixture of clothing. Despite having a small closet, Ray has quite a variety of clothing, allowing him to just mix and match to create all kinds of combination of clothing. He does not like to wear bright colours, other than white, preferring cool colours like brown, blue, dark green and of course, black.
Arms Ray does not wear any gloves, nor any rings, nor any wrist bands. His arms are completely clear of anything. And no, he does not have any tattoo, not wanting to scar his body in any way at all. Once again, Ray only attires himself according tot he situation, like mittens in the cool winter and such.
Legs Unlike his upper body wear, Ray has a very limited variety of choices of lower body wear, having only five pairs of denim jeans, all of different shades of blue, a pair of black tapered pants, another pair of black pinstripe pants and finally, five pairs of shorts. Of course, he also has an abundant amount of underwear, most of them boxer shorts.

[/b] Ray does not like to fight, but when push comes to shove, he will force himself to get out of his comfort zone and enter the battlefield. Most of the time, it is in order to back-up or protect his younger twin brother. Ray's fighting style is quite, so to say, matching to his personality. Due to his dislike of battle, Ray is not one to charge towards his opponents, but instead staying calm and waiting for the opponent to strike. Yes, he is the calm and collected counter-attacking kind of fighter.
And considering how fast he thinks, he is quite a dangerous fighter when using this style. Also, he lacks physical strength, making up for it with his quick reflexes and fluid movements. As such, he leans in towards the striking kind of fighting instead of the grappling. Also, Ray has equipped himself with the knowledge of the human anatomy, making him an even more dangerous striker to mess with.
He is analytical too and pays attention to his surroundings almost as much as he pays attention to the movement of his opponents. This gives Ray a somewhat advantage over his opponents as he often uses the environment to allow him to outsmart his opponent to create an opening, of which he would take advantage of.
Despite his defensive preference in combat, Ray also moves around a lot, allowing him to confuse his opponents as he moves around them, though making no effort to attack, instead waiting for his opponents to make a move. After all, when his opponents attack, they also leave an opening somewhere on their body.
Weaknesses: Like mentioned before hand, Ray's weakness is that he lacks the physical strength to really engage someone in a grappling battle. Despite having the theory when it comes to such situations, Ray often finds it hard to force his way out of grapples, being forced instead to look for alternatives to get out of efficient grapple techniques. Also, he never charges in to strike, so more often than not, his opponents take advantage of this and allow themselves breaks before charging in once more. Ray's mental weakness would be blood. At the sight of blood, Ray would be reminded of his parent's death, thus distracting him completely. Thus, it would be ideal for Ray to finish the fight as soon as possible without shedding blood, for then he would be in a tight spot in his own mental cage.
Strengths: Much due to his analytical and quick mind, Ray is quite a difficult opponent to catch off-guard. It is also quite a challenge to deceive him with feints and tricks, for he sees through them just as quickly. He also has great footwork, but does not make use of it for offensive, instead using it to dodge and make his way around his opponents as they charge in in order to get a better opening to strike at.[/ul]

1. A 5'10 male would not be average and weigh 142 pounds. As a 5'7"-5'8" female (who tend to be lighter at this age) I'm only allowed to weigh 140 at the lightest, to be considered healthy lean. Please state he is extremely thin, down his height, or increase his weight. Muscles weigh more than fat. Stating his muscles in his arms are above average would increase his weight, please take this into consideration.
2.The fact that everything about your characters personality is somehow "good" makes your character a little one note. Please put some darker things in his persona, everyone has something bad to them, something to make them fully dimensional. He has no "flaws" everything is "good". Everyone has flaws. Considering his background, maybe he could hate something that represents his father? Or the company that ruined his father?
3. Strengths and weaknesses are not even. For three strengths, you should have three weaknesses. Having less strength, and having to think your way out of holds isn't really a "weakness". That's the result of having weak strength, and thus does not count.
Please fix these things and I'll look through your bio again. Feel free to pm me about any questions you have!
