Rayman, voiced by David Menkin, is one of the main characters in the animated streaming television series produced by [[Ubisoft]], ''[[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix]]''. | |||
An alien from the parallel world of Dimension X, Rayman becomes the public face of Eden, the totalitarian megacorporation which has replaced the United States of America. As such, he is the presenter of various shows, such as ''The Eden Late Show'' and ''The Eden Report''. His story is one of rags-to-riches, from a refugee facing anti-alien discrimination (the [[Rabbid]]s, also from Dimension X, brought chaos and destruction to Eden) to a newscaster and media personality. He is, therefore, originally grateful to Eden and wholeheartedly believes in the lies and propaganda he helps spread. | |||
This situation changes after Alex Taylor uses a device called the Super-Scope to create a portal and bring kaijus—giant [[Rabbid]] monsters from Dimension X—into the city. Dolph Laserhawk is accused of this, and, when interviewed on TV, Red, the leader of the Niji 6, confronts him on ''The Eden Late Show'' and refers to the kaijus as "interdimensional alien scum". This prompts Rayman, the host of the show, to ask him if, as a refugee from Dimension X, he is also scum to him, to which Red replies, "I said what I said". Rayman gets angry and insults him on live television, after which he gets pulled off air of suspended from hosting the show. | |||
He is later shown half-naked and drunk in his apartment, receiving a call from the Board of Directors, the ruling body of Eden. He gets angry at them, believing he has leverage due to his status of the voice of Eden, but he is soon proved to be wrong when he discovers that a doppelgänger of his is now presenting his shows. Distressed, he is seen doing drugs and in the company of prostitutes, until he receives a call from what appears to be the Board of Directors again. He begs for his old position, promising not to repeat his mistake, but all he gets is an enigmatic message to "talk to the frog", a reference to Bullfrog, a member of the Brotherhood of Assassins wrongly accused of terrorism by Eden and awaiting trial in custody. | |||
Rayman uses his notoriety to get to Bullfrog, with whom he has a conversation. While he originally maintains that he owes everything to Eden, Bullfrog makes him realize the truth by blowing a bubble showing the abuses carried out by the regime. Red then shows up, calling Rayman "filthy alien scum" again and punching him to the ground when he tries to attack him. However, Bullfrog distracts Red and allows Rayman to escape. | |||
On Retribution Day, the day of Bullfrog's execution, Rayman has an epiphany and decides that he no longer wants to spread Eden's lies. He arms himself with machine guns, calling himself "Ramon", and makes his way to the Board of Directors, using his limblessness to hit guards from a distance with his hand. There, he has them call off Bullfrog's execution, but he nonetheless murders them all afterwards. As the first season ends, he is shown lying on the Board's table, surrounded by their bodies. | |||
