About
The second most active member of the system and a practical opposite of Mike, Ray is a prosecutor turned protector of the system. Ray steps in when the system is in a situation with their family, one where the only safe way out is to smile and nod with enthusiam. He is not and never has been the "evil alter" of the system, in part because there's no such thing as the "evil alter" but also because Ray straight up is not malicious. He's more excitable and high-energy than most the older system members, but he doesn't have a desire to hurt people.
Ray's biggest problem is that he's easily manipulated. It isn't that he trusts easily, but in his personal expereince he finds that he can get out of any horrible situation by just doing what he's told. He takes after Plumosum, one of the system's brothers, and even though Ray is less dangerous than his brother, Plumosum can feed into his high energy and encourage dangerous behaviors. Ray's goal is not to get out unscathed, it's to get out of these encounters alive at all. As a result, he's willing to go along with things that the rest of the system (and himself) may find awful... so long as someone with power over them or Archibald is telling him to do it. He does not lose sleep at night for it at all, the system's safety comes first, and the system is most safe when the most dangerous people in the room are happy... aside from Archibald, Ray just likes Archibald.
Character
Trivia
Likes
Archibald Arachne YOU ARE MY DA-AD (YOU'RE MY DAD BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE)... Ray adores Archibald, and self-discovery with him is what pushed Ray away from being a prosecuter in the system.
Praise One of the ways that Ray is easily gullible, if soemone tells him he's doing a good job, he will believe them no matter how untrustworthy he already knows they are. He's basically a kitten about this stuff.
Roller Skating Being one of Archie's apprentices in the system, Ray not only called dibs on the structure of the body's primary prosthetic, but built half of it himself to ensure it came out just the way he wanted... with Archibald's help, of course.
Family If you're the alter made to front around family, you kind of have to have some love for your family or else you'll go crazy. Ray things that there's something redeeming in even the worst of them, since he considers himself to have been redeemed, making him suseptible to their words.
Dislikes
Water The body has an electric-based power, and Ray channels it like a battery, moreso than anyone else in the system. Ray is genuinely worried that the body may get hurt from too much contact with things like water, especially when Ray is fronting.
Waiting Impatience in spades and doesn't feel bad about it, Ray will sooner set a room on fire than wait alone for twenty minutes. He is the first alter in the system to fail the marshmallow test outside of one of the actual children in the system.
Sugar Ray likes sweet things, Ray dislikes when something is overloaded with sweetness until it becomes bitter or sour. A taste he learned the hard way when he tried eating a sugar packet. He was never the same.
Being Expendable He hates being used, but he hates being used and then disgarded much, much more. Unlike Mike, however, Ray is more likely to beat someone up for it.
- As previously mentioned, Ray is a system protector, but formerly held the role of prosecutor. This "redemption" as he sees it highly influences his opionion toward "bad" people, and leads him to be more trusting of people who have done nothing to earn it.
- Ray was originally an introject as well, one based on their younger brother Plumosum as well as a prosecutor, but he has long since grown into his own thing. It's largely because of this former introject role that he is an active part of the Daemos family where most others in the system abandon it.
- Ray has not attended school, but has caught onto how to read and write in several languages. However, he struggles speaking them because of his difficult teeth structure.
- "Radio" as a name is not for show or one that Ray chose himself. He can mimic voices almost perfectly and is somehow able to access most of Mike's memories, even the traumatic ones his brain tries to push away. He isn't specifically a trauma-holder, though.
- He has bit someone before, and he does not regret it. Only once.
Stats
Strengths
Magic Converter The same event that made the body lose its leg proved to be wildly traumatic for the body, making use of magic impossible for Mike. Even for Ray, it's difficult without the converter to act as a battery... But Ray has learned how to use it well.
Speed Ray has incredible coordination and moves very, very fast. He utilizies the environment around him in order to use dirty tactics and dance out of reach.
Training Ray has been taught not to empathize with the people he is meant to fight, making him difficult to face, since he's willing to fight dirty.
High Pain Tolerance It is incredibly hard to make him stop coming at you, he either needs to be knocked out or incapacitated..
Flaws
Limp Even though Ray moves incredibly well with his specific prosthetic, he doesn't practice walking with the other others the body has as a result, and has become more clumsy with doing large movements with those.
Manipulatable If a person is convincing enough, they may be able to sway Ray away from attacking by saying that they were not Ray's true enemy. It absolutely happened before.
Easily Distracted He's also bad with faces, so even though he's good at chasing people down, he's incredibly bad with crowds. Voices, on the other hand, he recognizes uncomfortably well.
High Pain Tolerance He has hurt himself by pushing himself past an injury that he should not have ignored, further exaggerating the body's limp.
Design
Notes
- He has heterochromia, but one where his eyes are both two different colors. Both eyes are blue on top, yellow on the bottom and both are very vibrant.
- Ray, unlike Mike, has a constant current running through his body like the blood in his veins. It makes his hair stand on end.
- Mirroring Plumosum, Ray has the sharpest teeth in the system, to eat small fish.
- Ray walks in a way that makes it so he doesn't need the cane, and he often forgets that others in the system need it if he's left alone for too long.

Summary
History
Mike, like the rest of his siblings, was born with a specific purpose in mind; to be a killer, someone with the power to wipe out armies if the need came. When Mike was born, however, his right leg below the knee just wasn’t there, and he looked worryingly normal for killer demon spawn. In a panic that Mike was another failure to what they wanted, the relationship established between his parents collapsed as they desperately tried to bring out his powers prematurely through traumatic means. Every day, the child would face needless abuse as soon as he was old enough to not be immediately hospitalized at it, with the adults hoping that he was still powerful, he just had to get his powers first.
Mike, of course, wound up heavily traumatized from these events. He’s scared to be alone in rooms with adults he doesn’t trust, and being touched without warning makes him fly into a panic. Orchid, his demon parent, decided to take Mike back to their dimension when he started showing that he had powers, but didn’t seem to always be able to use them. They eventually decided to take him to see a doctor about what could possibly be wrong with him. The diagnosis took awhile to reach them, but it turned out the needless abuse led to Mike’s personality basically fracturing so he could cope, leading to the development of DID. Mike, the host of his system, can’t use the magic his parents so desperately wanted out of him.
Mike and Archibald met awhile after Mike was first moved to his dimension. Orchid felt that if Mike was going to live in this place, which was tailored for a crowd that was much taller than him, he should probably at least have the ability to walk. Because of the complicated way Mike’s leg formed, he wouldn’t be able to walk steady, and instead started to use a cane. After the DID diagnosis came out, though, and some effort was made to try to establish communication between Mike and his primary protector, Radio (Ray for short), said protector and Archibald began discussing closer on how best to fit the prosthetic to be comfortable for all alters, or at least as many as possible.
Orchid found another use for Mike yet, however. Around the time his sister Abyss first went missing, Orchid realized that using powers or potions of some kind, they could alter Mike’s memory to make him a sleeper agent up in the overworld dimension. Because he looked so much like a person, he likely would’ve been accepted with open arms. The plan specifically involved abusing his DID through the aforementioned spells and potions, and overall, even though by now he’s done it multiple times: no one in the system likes it, but they don’t have a choice. Mike has been an acting sleeper agent on and off for about 250 years now, and he much prefers the “off” time, when he gets to work as Archibald’s apprentice and pretend he’s the only family he has.

Archibald Arachne
Mike's mentor and the one who built his leg, Mike sees him like a father and listens to him wholeheartedly. He lives in Archie's house, and even though Archie works for Orchid, it's a great distraction and makes Mike feel more free of his mother's influence. By the standards and logic of Sanapeccum, technically Mike has higher sttaus and respect than Archibald does, but that doesn't stop Mike from seeing Archie as above him.
Ray Daemos
In Mike's system, Ray is the alter he's closest with, to the point where the pair mutually consider each other to be siblings. It isn't often they can share each other's company, since they can only really do that when co-hosting (due to the strictness of the system gatekeeper, Mike rarely is allowed to interact with others in their headspace), but they still find ways to talk and look after each other.
Plumsum Daemos
Plumosum is incredibly open that he prefers Ray to Mike, which is uncomfortable since Ray split largely to protect Mike from Plumosum. Despite being younger, Plum has a lot of power over the system in that he refuses to leave them alone if he gets his heart set on something. Mike tends to avoid him and prefers to talk to him when he's not trying to enact some weird toxic plan.
