Rayman was originally designed to simply be an athletic character with a full body, but because of complications rendering on game consoles, he was left without arms, legs and a neck – his hands, feet and head float around his body. The manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' gives out a new explanation for Rayman's limblessness: the lack of [[Lum]]s 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|the original game]]). 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 1|the original game]] showed him with lighter blue eyes. While Rayman is unique in most of the games, other members of [[Rayman's species|his unknown species]] are seen in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], notably [[the Magician]], [[Tarayzan]], [[the Musician]] and his wife and child. | Rayman was originally designed to simply be an athletic character with a full body, but because of complications rendering on game consoles, he was left without arms, legs and a neck – his hands, feet and head float around his body.

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.

Rayman is a very laid-back character, as he is often seen snoozing either on a hammock or up against a tree, but he is also very athletic and shows great gymnastic skills (able to scale wall sides, and in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] he is able to do a "body shot", kick enemies and can do monkey bars), especially since being given the power to [[Running|run]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], and then get noticably better from ''[[Rayman 2]]''. He is also strong enough to carry things such as [[baby Globox]]es, [[Magic Sphere]]s, [[plum]]s and [[keg]]s. He can run while carrying an object in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' if he purchases an optional upgrade at the [[Magic Well]]. Rayman is also right-handed. Some of Rayman's gymnastic skills include handstands, somersaults and back flips. | Rayman is a very laid-back character, as he is often seen snoozing either on a hammock or up against a tree, but he is also very athletic and shows great gymnastic skills (able to scale wall sides, and in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] he is able to do a "body shot", kick enemies and can do monkey bars), especially since being given the power to [[Running|run]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], and then get noticably better from ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Rayman begins as a very poor [[Swimming|swimmer]]; in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], he loses a [[life]] the instant he falls into any body of liquid. By the time of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has developed this new skill – although all he can do in this game is a simple dog-paddle. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he is taught to swim by [[Murfy]] and a [[baby Globox]] at the beginning of the game. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he is a far more capable [[Swimming|swimmer]]; he can now use his [[helicopter]] hair to propel himself through the water, he can perform athletic underwater backflips, and he no longer seems to require any [[Blue Lum]]s or [[air bubble]]s to breathe beneath the surface. In both ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', he can [[Swimming|swim]] without needing any air like in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and without use of his [[helicopter]] hair like in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. | |||

Rayman also appears to like several sports, such as basketball. In ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he will sometimes take his body off and play with it like a basketball whenever he is left idle. Also, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] if the player decided to continue at the "Game Over" screen, Rayman would throw his body through a basketball net and catch it. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'' he seems to also show interest in football, as when he is left idle, he kicks his body around and can also kick [[turtle]]s and [[plum]]s. Other sports that Rayman appears to like are golf, bowling and karting, as ''[[Rayman Golf]]'', ''[[Rayman Bowling]]'' and ''[[Rayman Kart]]'' suggest.

A number of interviews with [[Ubisoft]] developers were posted on official websites in the period leading up to the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. In one interview, Rayman creator [[Michel Ancel]] revealed the inspirations behind the character. He states ''[[Rayman 2]]'' was inspired by Russian, Chinese and Celtic stories that he read as a child. These elements form the ‘fantastic background’ which comprises [[the Glade of Dreams]], but ‘a more contemporary and cartoonish touch’ has been added. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] goes on to say that the concept of the game's world is similar to that of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Crystal The Dark Crystal]'', which shares ‘its magic and its Celtic universe’. The cartoonish aspects were inspired by the works of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_Avery Tex Avery]. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] states that ‘Rayman is a true high-performance hero who keeps a good sense of humour like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones Indiana Jones]. Rayman is a rebel, fighting against mighty bad guys like in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars]'' or ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood Robin Hood]''’. This suggests that the villains of [[Michel Ancel|Ancel's]] [[Rayman (series)|Rayman games]] – [[Mr Dark]] and [[Admiral Razorbeard]] – may have been inspired by the likes of Darth Vader and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The character of Indiana Jones is also referenced by Rayman's co-creator Frédéric Houde and [[Rayman 1|the original game]] co-designer Serge Hascoët. According to a 2011 interview with the director of the [[Pix'n Love]] magazine (which has published numerous Rayman-related articles), [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] took the name ‘Rayman’ from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_%28graphics%29 ray-tracing] software which [[Ubisoft]] happened to be using during the development of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. | A number of interviews with [[Ubisoft]] developers were posted on official websites in the period leading up to the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Rayman makes his first appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] where he at the start can be seen sleeping in a hammock. He answers [[the Magician]], who asks him to rescue the [[Electoon]]s, with a simple "No problem". He can then directly afterwards be seen in [[the Dream Forest]] on the map, through the eyes of [[Mr Dark]] who is watching him as he makes his way closer to his hideout in [[Candy Château]]. In the manual he is referred to as "the guardian of [[The Glade of Dreams|this world]]". Throughout the game he will come across several other characters of [[Rayman's species|his species]], such as [[Tarayzan]] and [[the Musician]]. Each time after having defeated a boss he will perform a victory dance. The only exception is after having defeated [[Bzzit]], where he comes up and befriends him instead once he sees him crying. | Rayman makes his first appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] where he at the start can be seen sleeping in a hammock.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Rayman can be seen together with his friends, eating on top of [[the Snoring Tree]].
