Rak Wraithraiser

Rak is a Regular. He unwillingly teamed up with Baam and Koon during the first test on the second floor, and passed other tests with them. He was selected for the Spear Bearer position. He is a large and poweful warrior, and very full of himself.

Appearence and Personality
Rak is a very large crocodile-like humanoid with gray skin. He has a head similar to that of a crocodile, except with a square snout and with spikes on the back. He is quite muscular and something like 15 feet (5 meters) (tall 3-4 feet after the hide and seek game)*. He wears red robes/armor and a red cape (although he has been seen to change into a blue t-shirt), and carries a huge red spear. Rak is not particularly smart and very overconfident. He thinks of himself as superior than almost everyone else, and so refers to other people as "turtles". He occasionally calls himself "Raleader" when he is feeling particularly full of himself. He tries to make himself appear tough, although he's actually a bit of a baby sometimes.

History
Nothing is known about Rak's history so far. Due to his personality and training he is probably from a warrior family. It has been implied that he climbs the tower to seek "Something that surpasses all other".

Plot Summary
Rak entered the story when he appeared on the second floor with the other Regulars. He quickly adapted to the battle and shoved a sniper off a cliff in order to get a good view of the battlefield. He looked around at the other regulars and tried to decide which one to "hunt". Then he noticed Baam carrying the Black March and decided that he wanted to fight with the weapon. He attacked Baam. When Baam protested that he didn't want to fight, Rak said that he had to so that Rak could obtain the strength of the needle. Koon arrived, and he and Baam hid from Rak while he yelled at them about being "stupid turtles". When it was announced that everyone had to find a team, Rak resisted all efforts made by Koon trying to team up with him. Baam then walked up to him and asked him what "hunting" was, to which Rak replied it was fighting strong opponents to increase one's own strength. Baam then dropped the March, and told Rak to hunt him. Rak was confused and frustrated at this, telling Baam to pick up the weapon and fight him. However, he would not come to any rational decision, so Baam and Koon simply jumped on him just as the time ran out, forcing Rak to team up with them.

He got through the barrier test with no problem (although he was very grumpy about being teamed up with "turtles"). When his team took the Yu Han Sung's door test, he got tired of waiting and kicked a random door open, causing them to pass the test. Rak was very pleased with himself about this and "accepted the turtles as [his] underlings". He also said that Koon and Baam now had to call him "Raleader".

During the Crown Game he fought alongside Koon against the other teams. He used his immense physical strength and destroyed just about anyone who got in his way.

After the Crown Game, both he and Koon visited Baam in Baam's room. He thought Baam was dead and stated that he would make a bowl out of his shell, but then realized Baam was alive and started crying (he denied this afterwards). He was selected as a Spear Bearer, and was surprised that he didn't get picked as a Fisherman. In the training, he was told to hit a target with his spear. Rak strode confidently forward, but embarassingly missed the target. Then a huge guy managed to hit it. Rak got very angry about this and went on a bit of a rampage, and refused to talk to his allies. He eventually managed to hit the target in 4 days and passed the test of 2nd floor before the Joint Test.

Powers and Abilities
Immense Strength: Rak is extremely strong, disproportionate even with his huge size. He was able to throw a spear over a huge distance, and smash aside multiple "strong" Regulars.

Spear Expert: Rak can wield his huge spear at both close range and long range with excellent skill. He can hit small targets that are hundreds of meters away, as shown when he hit a sniper rifle right out of a gunner's hands in the Crown Game, despite them being on the other side of the arena. He was able to swing and thrust his spear at close range so fast that even Koon was only able to find an opening when Rak was distracted.
