Rayman

Line 29:

Rayman was originally designed to simply be an athletic character and to have a full body, but because it could not be fully rendered even on games consoles in the mid-90s, he was left without arms, legs and a neck – his hands, feet and head float around his body. The upcoming ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' gives out a new explanation for Rayman's limblessness: the lack of [[Lums]] had the consequence of preventing the creation of his limbs. He has a huge round nose, and strawberry-blonde hair which he divides into two fronds (three in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''). He has the ability to use his hair as a [[helicopter]], which lets him glide across large spaces and make soft landings. His eyes are dark blue in colour, though in most official artwork they are coloured black; two pictures in ''Rayman'' showed him with lighter blue eyes. While Rayman is unique in most of the games, other members of his unknown species are seen in ''Rayman'', notably [[the Magician]], [[Tarayzan]], [[the Musician]] and his wife and child.

Rayman is almost always seen in white gloves and a purple torso with [[Rayman's symbol|a mysterious white ring on the chest]], through which he gains new powers from [[Betilla the Fairy]]. The symbol can also absorbs the [[Silver Lum]]s created by the [[fairy|fairies]], and magically opens the pillars containing the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] in ''Rayman 2''. Up until ''Rayman 3'', he wore a red neckerchief, which was then replaced with a red hood. He also wears shoes that are typically yellow and white, though the actual designs have changed throughout the series. ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' is where he is seen wearing different clothing that has raised a few questions about his ‘limblessness’ as he sometimes looks as if he has knees, such as the Disco costume with its trousers/pants. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his ''Rayman 3'' attire was used~~, even though ''Origins'' is set chronologically before [[Rayman 1|the original game]]~~.
