History
Ray'ken was born to Vannis and Nikari Skyglow in the Summer of 489 AV. From a young age he seemed to take to his mother's art of painting, or more so drawing. He would often spend time with his mother painting until his father shooed him away to learn carving, claiming it was a woman's art. Although Ray'ken loved painting, he took to carving even faster. He would spend hours working away at making shapes in wood and other materials that his father would give him. He was through and through, a model Skyglow.
In the autumn of 497 AV, Ray'ken's younger brother Rakku Skyglow was born. Ray'ken was proud of his new sibling and tried to teach him all that his parents had. His lessons in carving still continued with his father but soon Vannis no longer wanted to urge the boy to learn carving. He was skilled and clearly inherited the carving skills the Pavic just as Vannis had before him. He did not want Ray'ken to become better than him and so he began to shut him out.
The tension between Ray'ken and his father only worsened as he grew older. He only wanted to be close with his father. Vantha were a very family oriented people. Vannis had his own agendas though. Ray'ken began working alone on his carving, now promising himself he would become better than his father. It was not for revenge. Even if the two did not get along Ray'ken respected his father. He just wanted the respect back.
