This stuff is spoilers for Charmy Nonsense Chapter 14, so if you haven't read that, don't read this okay?
...
Seriously don't read this if you're not caught up.
...
Dude, I'm warning you.
...
Okay, if you really want to be spoiled.
...
Just remember you wanted this.
...
Nah, I'm just kidding, it's not that big a deal if you're spoiled XDDD
...
Okay! So Mighty and Ray! Let's talk a little about them! Well, I guess it's easier to tell you who they aren't first.
NOT FROM SONIC MANIA PLUS
They aren't the Mighty and Ray in Sonic Mania Plus, similar to how Modern Sonic and Modern Tails aren't Classic Sonic and Classic Tails. I regard Mania Plus as the Classic Mighty and Ray, which is why I said at the end of Chapter 14, I'd introduce you guys to the MODERN Mighty and Ray.
NOT FROM THE ARCHIE COMICS
Also, I might not have made this clear before, but I HATE ARCHIE COMICS AND I DON'T READ THEM. When they first came out all the way in the 90's, that's when I read them. And I read them all the way past Issue 100, including the spinoff titles and miniseries. Everything created before issue 120, I have read. And I am NOT impressed at all. That being said, the Comics Mighty and Ray are not MODERN Mighty and Ray either. The comic continuity, pre Genesis Wave and Post Genesis Wave, were NOT used for the Mighty and Ray in Charmy Nonsense.
NOT FROM ANY OTHER CONTINUITY
All other pieces of media portraying Mighty and Ray are completely NOT referenced for Charmy Nonsense's Mighty and Ray. I really want it to be clear that I took what the Classic games (before Mania of course) gave us for Mighty and Ray's characters and I expanded on that information on my own. So if there are any similarities between my MODERN Mighty and Ray and any other portrayal, it's totally by accident.
THE CHARMY NONSENSE MIGHTY & RAY
Ahem! Now that all that junk is out of the way, let me tell you a little bit about them and their role in the Chaotix! Mighty is their den-mother, in that he cooks, cleans, maintains the bills and stuff like that. He's gentle and isn't a fan of violence, but isn't above using it for the right cause. He's just come back from traveling the globe and he's hit a lot of places, but there are still a bunch that he and Ray haven't gone to yet. He is lively in the company of his friends and has lots of stories to tell. He puts on an air of confidence and continuously looks forward to exploring new things. But he sucks as a detective XDDDD
Mighty is more in touch with his emotions than Espio and Vector, meaning he can break into tears and not feel any less manly. He's boisterous and loud and is always eager to use his strength to entertain. His fighting style is grappler and kickboxing and he's one of the best fighters in the series, using his energy in diverse ways. (This is going to have it's own chapter here, so don't worry about it right now C: )
He can get overly concerned about his teammates, doting on them and picking them up against their will to carry them to their desired destination. He's brave and loyal, willing to put himself in harm's way at a moment's notice. This eludes to his secret backstory, however, so I can't explain it any further than that. ;D
I actually based him off of some characters from the anime One Piece! He's a mixture of 75% Brook and 25% Sanji, in that he's extremely grateful to be apart of the group and loves cooking, plus is really strong and loyal and fearless.
Ray is their botanist/chemist, he knows everything there is to know on plants and nature. He's more or less the brains of the outfit, but unlike Vector he's not in any way a tactician or a leader. He isn't a fan of violence, but with his knowledge of plants, he utilizes nature itself to take down opponents. (This is gonna have it's own chapter here, don't worry C: )
He's timid and unsure of his place in the world, which is why he clings to Mighty for support. Naturally, he's not into "danger" or "lethal" activities of any kind, unfortunately for him he's in the company of people who attract danger. XDDDD
He usually balances the checkbook, fills out the necessary paperwork, provides free food and medical support. He's a really important member of the Chaotix crew.
Ray's a mix of two other One Piece characters: 50% Usopp and 50% Chopper. In that he's still childish and cowardly, but can step up to the plate when his friends need him and has skills no one else has. (Also his fighting style is heavily inspired by Usopp's New World weaponry)
And that's Modern Mighty the Armadillo and Modern Ray the Fly Squirrel. I hope I can write them in a proper way so that they add to the stories instead of take away from them. Thanks for reading as always, see ya next update!
