| Personality |
Raph is a particularly loose and wild individual. Spending most of his life travelling the world and experiencing various lifestyles, settling down has been rather hard for him. He regularly finds himself bored with the world and life in general - as such, he spends a large portion of his time taking apart in desperate, crazy and depraved activities, hoping to live each day off the thrill of something new. This has left him with a vaguely skewed moral compass, and resulted in him taking a rather casual outlook to crime and morally dubious behaviour. Indeed, he tends to have a rather off-puttingly casual eccentricity towards matters which might even endanger his own well-being.
Still, he is at his core not a bad person. Whilst willing to trick people and perform minor crimes, he attempts to strictly avoid any behaviour which will have long-lasting negative impacts on others. Similarly, he finds a duty to help protect and serve people where he can - often times without much consideration for his own well-being.

Personal History
Raph has really had it good in life. ...Kind of.
Born into the rich Hall family, Raphael was born merely as a son to carry on the family name. Whilst his parents thought it important to have an heir, they had no true interest in raising a child. As such, soon after his birth, he was placed in the care of various nannies and tutors whom bought him up over time.
Still, it eventually became apparent that a child around the house was not the most easy thing to deal with - especially when you were wanting to lead the sordid high life of parties and overindulgence. As such, as soon as Raph reached an age appropriate enough for travel, his parents sent him off to travel the world, his tutors having to act in their place for those long journeys away.
He spent most of his youth travelling place to place, learning customs and recieving experiences from all across the globe. He'd very rarely have contact with his parents - sometimes going up to two years between returns home. Still, when he was back they'd do their best to try and ensure he was up to their standards for continuing the Hall name, beginning to force him to attend more and more parties as he grew older, hoping to shape him into a worthy heir.

Eventually it would come to pass that both of Raph's parents passed away. He attended the funeral more for the sake of the matter than anything else, before returning to the mansion that had now been left to him.
At first he attempted to imitate the lifestyle they had left for him - he was waited on hand and food, a full staff of butlers and maids kept around to keep the house in condition, whilst chefs and kitchen staff served food for the young man (as well as for the guests at the parties he soon began to find himself hosting). It soon became apparent however, that spending his days idly doing nothing really wasn't the lifestyle for him.
Raph was eager to be active, involved - doing things with his time rather than sitting around. Slowly, he began to assist his staff into finding work elsewhere, seeing them through to new jobs so that he may take on their duties himself. Eventually, he had the entire house to himself, in which he'd perform his own cleaning and services. He'd even cook all the food for parties himself - with a little assistance from himself.

You see, it's worth noting at this point that Raph had discovered at a rather early age that he was capable of multiplication. In his youth this was extremely handy - if he was forced to go to a boring party, he could split himself, occupying himself partially with the party, whilst also keeping himself entertained elsewhere to save from boredom. Similarly, copies of himself could be used as a safety blanket, for if he was wanting to take part in more dangerous activities without running the risk of serious harm.
Spending so much time in multiple bodies, he over time got used to having a busy mind, putting up and interacting to various inputs simultaneously. This obviously made the matter of nothing to do at home somewhat worse, as prior to this Raph was always doing something... even when doing nothing.
Still, with the use of his clones, now he could run the whole house by himself, keeping himself occupied. For a short while anyway...

Eventually Raph - as he is wont to do - got bored of housekeeping, wanting to find some new kind of thrill. It was at this point that he turned to crime.
He was never a particularly dangerous criminal - he abhored the idea of it. Instead, he preferred to fashion himself the gentleman thief - stealing money and valuables from those who had some to spare, and letting the money go on to charity.
Combining a clone of himself with some alchemical transformative drinks, he could act out his crimes in a suspiciously similar body whilst at the same time having a perfect alibi elsewhere. Admittedly, the disguise wasn't so different as to leave himself in te clear - but that's just the way he wanted it. To him, this was a game of cat and mouse. The thrill that each day he may be caught kept him going.

Soon, he found himself on a collision course with a superhero known as Lydia. They spent a fair amount of time chasing each other through streets - and viciously flirting, both in and out of his disguised form.
This however soon came to an end when Lydia was hit by a wave of self-doubt. As himself, Raph attempted to console her and encourage her to get back on her feet... only for Lydia to confront him with the fact she knew he was a criminal, and therefore couldn't trust his word on anything, including this.
In an attempt to prove that he actually meant what he was saying to Lydia, Raphael performed one final heist, with the intention of getting himself arrested and turned in. Realising this, Lydia instead provided Raph with a means of escaping the blame - on the condition he put the criminal lifestyle to rest.

Combatitive Traits
| Abilities |
Multiplication; Raphael is capable of duplicating himself entirely, to create multiple copies of himself. These copies all share the same singular mind, and thus, sensations and feelings from one body are passed on to the others - though actual physical changes are not copied across. Similarly, this also means the more copies there are, the harder they become to control - at two bodies, Raph is capable of controlling both perfectly. At three, he is semi-capable, though distractions can easily draw the presence of his mind away from one body for short periods. More than that, and he begins to have issues performing more than the most basic of commands without leaving at least a body or two standing around useless.
When multiplying, it's important to note that only one body is the 'real' Raph. If copies are injured or killed, Raph will still be fine... however if the real Raph takes such injury, then he can't make another body his 'main' one.

| Strengths |
+Raph is an extremely athletic and flexible individual. He's capable of rapid movement and contortion in various ways which have aided him well in his brief stint as a thief. His most major skill in this regard is climbing - something he spends a lot of his free time doing.
+Raph is extremely well-travelled, and thus rather knowledgable of the world. He's familiar with various cultures and languages, being relatively well-learned and knowing how to apply it.
+Raph is rich - no bones about it. If he wants something, he can usually get it.

| Weaknesses |
-Raph suffers from a fair degree of pride. He has a tendency to look at himself in the best possible light, and has a tendency to do things the hard way just to prove that he can. Which, sometimes unfortunately, he can't.
-Raph is wreckless to the extent of self-endangerment. Constantly trying to find thrills in life has somewhat destroyed his sense of self-preservation. Combined with his pride and tendency to show-off, this is quite the volatile mix.
-Raph tends to have some issues with social situations and commitment. Spending his life travelling from country-to-country has resulted in him never settling down or having anything really consistent in his life - including things as basic as friends. As such, he has issues relating to people wanting more longterm and meaningful interactions.

Character Relations
(Though there are more than listed below, currently only listing those which are relevant on RPing on this particular forum)

| Positive Relations |
-Lydia-
An ex-superhero who Raph has more than a slight tendency to flirt with, Raph and Lydia have known each other for quite some time. Raph sees her as... attractively innocent. Though he thinks he can really bring the other side out of her.
-Rosetta-
A recent friend of sorts, and another individual Raph is unashamedly flirty with - only this time it's a lot more one-sided. Rosetta has issues with the feeling of and displaying of emotions. Raph has made it is his mission to help her in this regard - by any means neccesary.
