Ra-Horakhty, simply known as Ra, is the main antagonist of the manga Record of Ragnarok Forbidden Legend - Apocalypse of The Gods, a spin-off of the manga/anime series Record of Ragnarok.
Ra-Horakhty is the Egyptian God of the Sun, Order, Kings and the Sky, as well as a Chief God and King of the Egyptian Pantheon, existing since the birth of Humanity which he attempted to exterminate on one occasion without the authorization of the Gods' Council, earning him the nickname Unstoppable. He is also one of the 16 Gods who participate in the Apocalypse Tournament to win the last place in the Gods Fighters of the Ragnarok Tournament and the possibility of creating a new law in the Constitution of Valhalla.
Appearance[]
Ra-Horakhty is a God with a humanoid appearance, with brown skin and short black hair, as well as small yellow eyes. Ra is very tall and muscular, and he wears a golden Egyptian necklace on his bare chest, golden bracelets on both wrists and both arms, golden greaves running from his knees to his ankles, and a black shendit with a golden center. Ra has black fingernails and toenails, and he is barefoot.
Personality[]
Ra-Horakhty is an arrogant and irascible God, who is convinced that everything is due to him and gets angry and complains if he is ignored or contradicted. He is not afraid to openly challenge a God superior to him such as Zeus if he finds his behavior unacceptable, to the point of openly admitting that one day he would kill him, and deems Gods inferior to him as not worthy of his attention or of approaching him. He considers battles a waste of time, considering himself superior to everyone.
He is strongly convinced of his abilities and his strength, taking his victory in the Apocalypse Tournament for granted before it has even begun, and is ready to demonstrate it to everyone if the opportunity arises. Faced with someone who challenges him despite his strength, Ra claims the right to show him how a true God fights and what his blows are like. Ra does not accept interference when in the heat of battle, and he finds the arrogance of Gods or Demigods inferior to him amusing. He fully exploits his position as King of the Egyptian Pantheon, exploiting those who belong to his Pantheon, and in front of events involving Gods he demands an equally large prize.
Biography[]
Ra-Horakhty is the Egyptian God of the Sun, Order, Kings and the Sky, as well as the King of the Egyptian Pantheon. Ra has existed for eons, to the point of having participated in the Gods' Council that established the birth of Humanity. On one occasion, Ra attempted to exterminate Humanity without permission from the Gods' Council, being stopped by the Gods but still managing to transform Egypt into a perpetual desert. Since then, Ra gets the nickname Unstoppable.
Millennia later, after the proclamation of the Ragnarok Tournament, Ra participates in the meeting of the Gods' Council in which Zeus announces the Gods Fighters that would fight in the Ragnarok Tournament representing the Gods. When many Gods become angry at the absence of their names, Sun Wukong points out that one name is missing from the list, and it is at that point that Zeus announces the Apocalypse Tournament, in which Ra participates, between 16 Gods to win the last place in the Gods Fighters.
At the end of the meeting, Ra reaches Zeus, Hermes and Ares. Ra is furious at the proclamation of the Apocalypse Tournament, who is sure to win, and accusing Zeus of having transformed Valhalla into his amusement park. Ares tries to calm the situation, but Ra knocks him out dehydrating him and prepares to fight Zeus, although the two are interrupted by Cú Chulainn. As soon as the Celtic Demigod asks Zeus for his throne if he wins the Apocalypse Tournament, Ra, despite finding it irreverent, takes advantage of the opportunity to propose to Zeus a much bigger prize than the last place in the Gods Fighters for the winner of the Apocalypse Tournament, and Zeus also agrees to offer as a prize the possibility of creating a new law for the Constitution of Valhalla, as well as pitting Ra and Cú Chulainn against each other in the first match of the Round of 16.
At the start of the Apocalypse Tournament, Ra-Horakhty enters the ring, where he faces Cú Chulainn in the Round of 16.
Powers and Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: As a God, Ra-Horakhty possesses physical abilities far superior to those of any ordinary Human. His body cannot be damaged by mortal weapons, however it can still be damaged by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons. For the same reason, Ra is unable to die due to old age. Ra is also considered one of the most powerful Gods of all, being compared to both Zeus and Odin.
Godly Speed and Strength: Ra possesses high speed, to the point that he can keep up with Cú Chulainn and even surpass him, despite the Celtic Demigod constantly increasing his speed. He also possesses monstrous strength, capable of blocking a swing from his opponent, by using only a single arm, ahtrough it should be noted Cù Chulainn was under the effects of Ra's ability, weakening him vastly.
Heliokinesis: As the God of the Sun, Ra can release aura waves as hot as the Sun or Hell itself. His aura waves are so hot that it can stun Ares causing him to fall to the ground dehydrated. It is also so strong that Ares recognized that no ordinary God could resist it, and in fact during Ra's match against Cú Chulainn the Egyptian Goddesses distributed drink among the spectators due to the high temperatures emanating from Ra, which from afar are equivalent to those of the desert while up close it is even worse. Ra can also use the immense heat emanating from his body to create a barrier that prevents anyone from approaching him, and which he can remove at any time.
Horus Armor: Ra's Divine Weapon takes the form of a mechanical bird, which transforms into massive golden mechanical armor, covering Ra's whole body, except only head. By fusing his body with Horus, Ra becomes the Sun-God of Light, Horakhty Forme. Horus acts as not a suit of armor, but an amplifier for his heliokinesis, to the point of transforming Egypt into a perpetual desert. It allows Ra to condense his heat waves to a single point and fires it off locally. This amplifier grants him much greater offence, defense, speed and manoeuvrability, even allowing him flying, providing sun energy from the jetpack on the back.
Trivia[]
- Ra in Egyptian Mythology was considered one of the most important Gods, as well as the one who ruled over every part of the world.
- His name Ra-Horakhty derives from the union of the name of Ra with that of Horus, due to the fact that the two Gods were often combined, and which means Ra (Who is) Horus of the Two Horizons.
- However, the Ra-Horakhty of Record of Ragnarok uniquely represents Ra, as other characters also address him simply as "Ra".
