Does Ray prefer a child who looks more like him or like MC?

Ray would absolutely prefer a child that looks more like MC.

Dunno if this has been asked already but what was Haley's life like growing up? What led them to become a burglar?

I am actually surprised I have never talked about Haley's backstory. Anyways, here it is 💕

Haley, (whose birth name is Harini) was raised as the eldest daughter (nonbinary now) in a Desi (Tamil) family, growing up Haley always had numerous hefty expectations placed on their shoulders without much reward for their efforts. Haley was raised in Chennai, but when accepted into a prestigious university program abroad (where our story takes place), their parents pressured them to enroll. This program was at a top university but extremely expensive. Despite being somewhat pressured into the decision, Haley didn't want their parents to have to worry about money, so they lied and said it was a full ride scholarship.

Haley still needed to pay for the program. So they decided in this new place they would go by a fake name to create a degree of separation between their identity and what people around them knew them as. This name 'Haley' was chosen when their younger sister referred to them as it as a joke about becoming westernized. Using their ability (which they discovered and honed from a young age) Haley would burgal what they needed to make tuition payments, always doing extensive research into the targets and proper fences before taking any action. Eventually, their work was noticed by the general public for it's mystery and flawless execution. Never greedy, always a perfectionist, always picking the best targets that were never sympathetic figures in the public eye, Haley never made a mistake, they were raised not to, so of course they would excel at this too.

They have since graduated from the program where for a few years after they worked at a local coffee shop and then eventually opened up their own. They have since become stable enough to not need to burgal, but then became headhunted by Miles's family to train him into a villain (something Hal couldn't exactly say no to).

One of my favorite things about Haley is their 'reluctant helper' aspect of their personality. For example, if there is a stray cat they say that it has to be owned by someone else so they won't take care of it, but they still feed it, and if it's there tomorrow they will feed it and make it a little shelter, and if it's there for another day they will let it inside... and so on until they are basically fully caring for it. This is kinda how Haley ended up being close to MC. Despite Haley giving off an 'I don't care' vibe, caretaking is in their nature and they can't help but to take responsibility. But they still may feel frustrated or slightly bitter that THEY are the person that had to because others either push it on them or aren't competent enough to trust.

Haley also has one younger brother and a youngest sister.

My one and only head canon (which I'm holding in my mouth and shaking it like a rabid dog) is what Ray can't sit straight when he's off duty

Flying heads under read more! Mostly for my own enjoyment but you can take a look too, I guess

he's beauty, he's grace, he's sending my sorry ass atoms to space

hi i just wanted to say- bsh is absolutely incredible and ive found myself deep in hyperfixation for the past week over it (i . may or may not have gone through blogs when i originally found out you had privated the asks from your dev tumblr + combed multiple for crumbs of ray lore hPOSDHIS). but like . it is so so lovely and im glad i finally gave it a shot. ive replayed it over a dozen times the past week and ive kicked my feet like a teenager with a crush whenever i thought of him!! i found this blog a bit less than an hour ago and reading the asks i missed has been THRILLING.

also like?? the wound scene in particular is INSANE? because i remember reading through it the first time and being struck with the most insane urge to be like . what if mc sank their fingers in a bit . bc its so insanely erotic to me oDOFHSID. when i saw the ask from another fellow ex-catholic i felt so vindicated ab the brainrot over the side wound and im !!! the fact he's forcing mc's hand into parting his flesh , , , i read up on the reasons behind it but also . the fact that it could that beneath the annoyance and resentment in the moment that him shoving their fingers into his wound could also be seen as a desperate bid for connection, for understanding that mc, in that moment, could not possibly comprehend has me going insane .

also !!! hes so fucking cute when the player meets him first in game??? like its so awkward and it endears me soooo bad . like "i prefer it that way" only to audibly say "lets just stop talking" had me in TEARS . i bet he rehearsed that interaction for hours and was mentally cursing himself for how it actually turned out lol

ALSO . the fact that ray is so off-put by the mint latte's color makes me hysterical . bc in this modern day and age matcha has become so popular (and idk how it is in bsh, but im just headcannoning it as the same in my head) so the fact ray is so perturbed is delightful . like damn . u rlly are an old white man (affectionate). it makes me want to have him try desserts from my culture (which can be bright green among other colors) and its so !!! it makes me so genuinely delighted to have had this little interaction with him and also knowing he enjoys watching the great british bake off . i want to see the inside of his fridge so bad .

OH on that note, did ray not have a lot of exposure to different cultural foods after he debuted as a hero? i know he grew up in a gov. facility and then lived in oklahoma with steel sherrif, and can cook well now, so is his culinary know-how mainly derived from western cooking standards/varieties?

oh- and did you have a cologne in mind for ray? its mentioned offhandedly in bsh that mc finds his cologne pleasant, and i wanted to know if you had one in mind when writing the scene/scents that you associate with ray!!!

and also- you mentioned ray has had sexual experiences in the past- does he have experience being pegged/penetrated? for . scientific purposes . of course .

(dont feel pressured to answer all these questions but im just so curious about ray and his backstory- i adore him so much sidofiUSDFH)

ANYWAYS im digitally sending you so many flowers and hearts, concrete. binary star hero skyrocketed to the top of my fave visual novels and i know its going to be consuming my mind for the foreseeable future LOL

Thankyou for your ask, it's so lovely and thoughtful 💕 I'm so sorry you had to wait so long for me to bring back the asks!

"That him shoving their fingers into his wound could also be seen as a desperate bid for connection," - Oh absolutely! The whole game Ray is searching desperately for that connection in a way that is so inhuman it inherently separates himself from the connection he desperately wants. I also love that section of the game because it does feel like a snippet that is so thematic of Ray's whole character in that way.

"i bet he rehearsed that interaction for hours and was mentally cursing himself for how it actually turned out lol" - Yep, he rehearsed it in his head a bunch and still fucked it up, in that moment he really wished he could kill himself lol.

RE: the mint latte - Ray just does not get out that much because he is so busy with work and even if he had the time he isn't really sure what he would do or where he would go. So that being said, Ray absolutely wouldn't know what matcha is 💀. He is an old man, not necessarily in age, but absolutely in being out of touch with current fads and events.

Did ray not have a lot of exposure to different cultural foods - He hasn't, most of his cooking knowledge is pretty western. But he would be absolutely delighted to try a bunch of new foods he hasn't had before.

did you have a cologne in mind for ray? - Nope, I would have to do some research to figure this out lol.

does he have experience being pegged/penetrated - All of his previous experiences have been pretty vanilla, but that is due to him not being fully invested in those experiences/partners and mainly just preforming for what his partner wanted. So he hasn't been penetrated in any of his previous sexual encounters... but with MC though he may be skeptical he would be willing to try (smirk)

Does Ray have a genric last name? Like, Smith or Doe?

Also, what was his brother's name?

Ray doesn't have any last name. It was stripped from his identity when he was taken under the government's wing.

If he was forced to write a last name, it would be "Star" mainly for

simplicities sake

and knowing if he was ever forced to write a last name on a document the government would already have tabs on what he is doing, so it would be in kinda a passive-agressive way? if that makes sense.

But no real last name for Ray, he has been stripped of human identity in that way.

I am surprised that NAHA didn't do any plastic surgery on younger Ray (change his nose, get rid of the moles, things like that), to make him perfectly fit their Americana hero image.

Ray was a lot more volatile in his younger years, he would hardly let the hair/makeup people touch him. Over the years he has grown more accustom to it (not that he enjoys it, just that he isn't an active crash out risk over someone touching him). So something as bothersome as plastic surgery has always been far out of the question for Ray.

How ya think it would be a date with Ray? ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

I was thinking how could be a date with Ray..

sometimes I imagine that it woukd be so romantic with flowers and a nice coffee cup <33

(˃̶͈◡ ˂̶͈ )

Ê

[binarystarhero]

Lol actually yes!

The reason why his hair flares outward, he also doesn't have moles, and his nose seems more refined is because hair and makeup department are ordered to 'fix up' his appearance before he saves anyone.

Is it just me or i think he spend a minute curl his bang before get in fight , like :

The city : /screams and crying for help/

Binary star : "just wait a second" /contined curl his bangs and drink coffee/

Lying in bed, imagine you became a binary star system.
