History

In his Myth, Rafayel was the God of the Sea of Lemuria, an underwater civilization similar to mermaids/merfolk. When he was young, he was stranded on the shore and saved by a different young version of the Protagonist (as she is able to reincarnate), whom he forms a bond with. Once bonded, Lemurians are loyal for life and thus his affection is bonded with her. Later on, the humans declared war on the Lemurians and many Lemurians were killed and enslaved. The reason for this is because the Lemurians were valuable for their blood which made them immortal. Another version of the Protagonist is the Witch of the Abyss. Rafayel tells her that he wants her help to make a magic potion to transform himself into a human so that he can be with the human girl he fell in love with all those years ago. It is unclear if its possible for two versions of the protagonists be alive at the same time. Eventually, the Lemurian civilization collapsed and the sea filled with sand, causing them to be forgotten as myths. Rafayel eventually works as an assassin who helps another version of the Protagonist who is a princess escape from her palace as she is kept under house arrest due to her valuable heart. Throughout all this time, Rafayel never forgot humanity's cruelty on the Lemurians and seeks revenge for his fallen civilization. The red coral stones he uses in his paintings are red due to being soaked in the blood of the slain Lemurians, giving them unusual hallucinogenic properties that oftentimes encourage people to see visions and kill themselves. As his paintings are worth millions and can only be bought by the rich, it is hinted that this is a way Rafayel uses to get revenge on the evil elite of society.

Main History

The protagonist first meets Rafayel by accident at a kid's game to catch fish. He catches a fish for her which he calls a Flammula. He asks her regarding Hat island and holds a travel brochure, making her believe that he is a tourist in Linkon City. After advising him to stay away due to the reports of Wanderers there, Rafayel simply walks off without saying goodbye. The Protagonist next meets Rafayel at his house studio as she is investigating the paint (made by coral stones) used by him that is able to cause hallucinations. He is in the middle of painting on a ladder and falls directly on her (or on the ground if the player clicks). Soon, they are attacked by a Wanderer in his house. After defeating it, Rafayel is impressed with her Hunter skills and offers to pay her by being his bodyguard. The Protagonist accepts it on the condition that he helps her get closer to the mystery surrounding the coral stones used by him with mind-altering properties. Rafayel agrees also on the condition that she accompany him to harvest more coral stones for his paints. Rafayel and the Protagonist set off to Hat island to collect Protocores 'for painting' via row boat. The boat ends up capsizing due to strong waves and thus they are stuck together on the island. Rafayel reveals that he is terrified of cats (considering he is related to fish). Afterwhich, a huge deep seadragon Wanderer (Deluge Wyrmlord) appears. Rafayel warns the Protagonist to stay back as he fights the Wanderer underwater but she doesn't listen. She passes out and he transforms into his God of the Sea form and saves her while she is unconscious.

Personality
