Q: THE CREATOR: Heh. You think it's that easy? You not only need to give your characters powers, but also a decent backstory. Let me tell you Ray's...

A lone, red, hedgehog with yellow eyes, spiked up hair to the sides and top, a red jacket with a white undershirt, jeans, and black sneakers, no older than 12 was sitting under a tree in the middle of a rainstorm. Why was he there of all places during a rainstorm you may ask? It's because he has nowhere left to go. He was exiled from his village at the age of 5 because of his powers.
*flashback*
Village Elder: He cannot be allowed to stay alive! He is a danger to us all!
Ray's Mother: He saved the entire village from those Eggman robots!
Ray's Father: Please, sire, he's just a child!
Village Elder: ...very well. I will spare your son...
Ray's Mother: Thank you sire, thank you so-
Village Elder: AT THE COST OF YOUR LIVES!
Ray's Father: What?! You can't just-
Ray's father is cut off by archers filling the room and shooting him and Ray's Mother to death.
*flashback ends*
Ray: *sigh* Why couldn't have I just been exiled? Why did he have to kill them? I would have rather been kicked out than to be left on the streets to take care of myself and scavage for any scraps of food I found lying around... the villagers don't help either...
*flashback*
Ray: Please... sir... i'm so hungry... I can barely move...
Villager: *picks Ray up by the front of his shirt* Why should I give my food to a freak like you?! *throws Ray against a wall and beats him up until the Villager couldn't anymore*

Ray had already lost consciousness in the first 10 minutes of that.
*flashback ends*
Ray: I saved them all... so why do they hate me?! *gets up and screams to the heavens* WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO THEM?! *sits back down and starts silently crying until he crys himself to sleep*
*4 years later*
Ray had trained himself to the best of his ability, managing to mostly control his powers over fire as best as he could. Even if the villagers didn't like it, Ray had become the village protector, hoping that he could gain some respect from the village. Alas, it was not to be. He didn't give up though. This place was his home, and he would protect it. Even if the people hated him. But one day, everything changed...
?: Hello? I was told that there was a pyrokinetic here?
Ray: Who are you? And what's a pyro...whatever?
Blaze: *rolls eyes* I'm Blaze. Blaze the Cat, and a pyrokinetic is someone that has the power over fire.
Ray: Oh, well that's me! Wait! *jumps back* You're going to beat me now, aren't you? Well you're going to have to catch me first!
Blaze: Wait, i'm not going to beat you!
Ray: *raises eyebrow* Really?
Blaze: Really. Why would you think I would try to?
Ray: Everyone in the village does.
Blaze: If they do, then why do you stay here?
Ray: I thought that if I became the village protector, than the people would respect me...
Blaze: Did it?
Ray: No...
Blaze: How long have you been trying?
Ray: The past 5 years.
Blaze: WHAT?! Alright, that's it! Tell. Me. Everything.
Ray: Alright.
(one explanation later)
Blaze: Those heartless monsters... how could they be so... there isn't even a word for how cruel these people are...
Ray: Well-
Ray was cut off by a soldier running up to them
Ray: Is it time for the angry mob already? I thought that was on Wednesday.
Soldier: The Village Elder has need of you.
Blaze: He isn't going anywhere!
Soldier: And who are you?
Blaze: *pulls out a badge* I am Blaze the Cat of the Freedom Fighters, guardian of the Sol Emeralds, and princess of another world
Me: It's true. Look up a playthrough of Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure.
Soldier: M-my apologies. Please come this way, your majesty.
Me: This is getting kinda long, so i'm going to put the rest of this in the next review.

A: Me: So, what you're saying is, in MY Q&A, your OC's get to be stronger than MY OC's?
