This is Raymond Crystoya and goodness what a trip. Raymond is the first original character I've ever created, years ago when I was around 8 or 10 years old, sometime around there. He is the first instance of Starmaninja ever existing despite ironically being from a different world anyway (literally in his original story, his parents were from a different planet in space and crash landed on this new planet that little I realized would eventually be Starninja, and the planet he's from is Cavertain.) It's about time I finally drew him updated and enhanced once again, reflecting my modern style. If you look at his page, you'll see a VERY old drawing of how he looked before I even established the Starmaninjians. It was THAT long ago.
Raymond is a hero and acts like it too. He's very compassionate and puts others before himself at every moment. He even flies like a superhero does and uses powers like laser beams and summoning crystals as barriers. His heroic powers aren't just for show though. He has the mission of reviving his ancestor's homeworld of Cavertain and bringing the Koya universe back to life within Starmaninja. He ends up paving the way for the revival while his son, Chrys is the one who actually goes back to the planet with Zaena to re-establish life there. He is a really good friend of Kao and Starky though, since they're all like children who dream of having super powers and saving the world. It helps they're the same age too.

Hehehe, fun fact: I also remember the TORTURE that I went through coming up with a name for this guy. Being my first truly original character (though he was inspired by Calvin and Hobbes Stupendous man), it was hard to really nail a name for him. Initially I called him Astroman/boy but...that was taken, then I called him "Ultraman/boy" but that didn't work out very well (thinking genuinely that "Ultra" sounded original...it wasn't). Then I called him "CrystalCat" and that felt alright for awhile, it had to do with what he did and what he was (he was originally a human in a cat costume, but now he's a full cat), but then I made Kao and Starky and took some time to really establish the world. I finally ended up calling him Raymond Crystal Cat, and then more properly, Raymond Crystoya since the Koya species was established. WHEW, it goes to show, it can take a decade sometimes to really nail a character.
