In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Species: Human (More machine than Man)
Position: Neutral Organization XIII or Dark XII Position:N/A

Weapon(s): Wakizashi, Tanto, Katana, Retractable "Nail" Claws (Hands and feet)
Picture(optional):
Appearance: As can be seen from the above pictures, Raiden wears a very...flashy battle suit. The suit is made from technologies on his home world. Most of his organs and body are artificial, Raiden being little more than a Head, Brain and a Spine, attached to artificial body parts, via the exoskeleton. His helmet has two stages, the first stage being completely closed, which can provide readouts and statistics, as well as enhanced target information, the second being with the helmet opened, so his face is visible to just above the chin-line. His hair was a very sleek blonde at one point, though now it takes a more dulled blonde-silver-gray color.
Personality: Raiden's personality is somewhat Dark. He always questions whether Reality is truly 'real', his mind suffering from all he has witnessed throughout his years. He speaks as though he is a philosophical old man at times. He is the type of person to help those in need, though he won't stick around for the praise, and those in need can come from any side of the social structure (IE: Good, Bad, etc.) To touch a little more on his "Dark" Personality, Raiden is the type to have little sense of humor, and will point out the most obvious of negative points in a given situation. His personality can somewhat be seen through his actions in battle, where he will often say depressing things, such as that if he were to die, it would not affect anyone, nor would it matter.
Original World: Earth (Or the equivalent) Current Residing World: Twilight Town (Tunnels)
History/Background: (Time on Earth [Pre-WD]) Raiden's parents were murdered at birth, and he was taken in by a military unit leader, whom was the one who in truth murdered his real parents. He was placed into a unit of Child Soldiers, which were trained to be killing machines. Sometime after Operation Desert Storm, when the darkness began making its presence more known on Earth, his memories of his Child Soldiers, and his cruel alias were blocked from his mind by his own mental willpower. As the Darkness began to slowly take over, his memories were affected moreso, and they began to rush in. In truth, it was his state of Self Denial about these memories that allowed him to survive, they also gave him a very fragile mental state, which led later on to his questioning of reality, and of his own personal being. He became a walking weapon, training through the use of the technologies which gave him a Virtual way to learn the use of blades, and various acrobatic maneuvers.
Throughout his battles, his body became scarred, his limbs dying out from the immense physical strain they were under, his organs failing due to not being cared for properly (Hospital visits, etc). After one large battle with a group of the beings known as Heartless, he was classified as a Vegetable (not having motor functions in any way). Though someone knew this was not his destiny. The only parts of him that were healthy enough to live on were his Brain, his spine, and his head. Through a very large medical procedure, he was placed into a suit, that had artificial limbs and organs, with increased reflexes and defense. He never got a chance to meet those who saved him from Darkness, but he wouldn't want to, he had welcomed death, and this was stealing that freedom from himself. His weapons had been modified, allowing for Stealthy store on the new body. There was also something else, a strange power coursing throughout the artificial body...the power of lightning. This helped him to select a new name. No longer Jack, no longer a true man, more machine, he took on the name Raiden Kosukiba, Raiden for the lightning, Kosukiba for the unit he was assigned to as a child, as a reminder of his ne're escaping past.
Shortly after taking on the new name, he began traveling throughout the world, doing his best to fight back the darkness, but for every creature he would slay, it seemed that they would never stop replacing them. As the Darkness overwhelmed the world, overtaking it, corroding it, destroying it, he found a way out, through a portal which lay in the middle of a vast desert. He stepped through, not knowing what lay in wait on the other side of the portal..
Role Playing Sample: Rain. Wherever he went, rain. It was never ending, or so it seemed at times. In the middle of the street stood a man covered in a black rag, somewhat like a cape, which covered up his body. A visor over his face, hiding his eyes. Four Red pupils on the Visor darted around, examining the area, more and more of the creatures of darkness shooting from the ground and skittering over towards him. He took his Wakizashi in his left hand, a Katana in the right. The visor opened to reveal his face, sorrow-ridden and older than his age. He flipped a Tanto into the air, catching it between his teeth. He managed to speak through the blade, as sparks bolts of lightning rained down on the creatures, eradicating them.
"I am the Lightning.....And you...you are merely the clouds which conceal me.."
He lunged forward, striking out many times in the time frame of only several seconds, until all of the creatures had faded back to the darkness from whence they came. He re-sheathed all of his weapons and bent down to his knees, coughing up white blood, the artificial blood which coursed throughout his mechanical body. Wiping away the white liquid, he jumped to the side of a building, run up to the spire at the top. The Empire State Building, he could see them all, thousands of the Creatures closing in on his location...
