Biography
Childhood
Born in ████ on November 14, 2004, Exray was known by his family and friends as a creative and enthusiastic person that loves to play and perform. When he was 12 years old he discovered the concept of an idol group from hearing his classmates talking and listening to TWICE's Cheer Up and become slowly interested. In 2018 he became a fan after listening to IZ*ONE's La Vie en Rose and from there he began actively listening and searching for related songs. He also joined a fan group in his school where he can meet and discuss with other students and also learn choreographies together.
Present Day
Being the leader, Exray's job in the group is to lead and keep the members together wherever they go. From introducing the group, settling quarrels between the members, to guiding the members through his world, these are some of the tasks he has to perform as the leader of douBle4. Before debut, he had some doubts about his ability to lead the group. But with all of their support, especially from Karnis and Damon, he has now accepted his role as the leader and will do his best to take care of them.
Relationships
Angie
Angie has been in his world for one month before stumbling upon him.
Angie is like a big sister and best friend to him, although sometimes Angie can be a strict person. Although they are only a few years apart, Angie is much more experienced and much wiser in dealing with life than he is. Angie is also one of the few people he feels comfortable asking for a hug when he's feeling vulnerable.
Damon
Exray's relationship with Damon is the second longest and also the roughest one at the start. Months after he friended Karnis, Damon appeared near the park they usually hangout, wandering lifelessly in distraught. At first, he wanted to befriend Damon like he did with Karnis but Damon always berated him whenever he tried to approach, telling him to go away. Things got so bad that one day Damon lose control and attacked him while lashing out. With the help of Karnis, they were able to be friends and build their friendship.
In Exray's eyes, he considers Damon a mentor and father figure. Damon is the person Exray goes to for life advice, being one of the oldest in the group. Damon is also one of the few people he feels comfortable asking for a hug whenever he's feeling vulnerable.
Karnis
Exray's relationship with Karnis is significantly the longest. He has known Karnis ever since he was in middle school, when Karnis almost murdered him. After that event, he tried to befriend Karnis. After many failed attempts and regularly hanging out together in a park, Karnis slowly opened up to him and was able to communicate comfortably with him. It was during one of their hangouts that he introduced Karnis to dancing, of which quickly became Karnis' passion.
Exray feels that Karnis is like an older brother he always wanted to have, or like an old friend from a past life. He is more open about his feelings when he is with Karnis, and Karnis is one of the few people in the group that he will ask for a hug whenever he is feeling vulnerable.
Null
Null's existence came as a surprise to everyone in the group, as Null had been dormant inside Ryzen. It was only when Ryzen's body was fully repaired that Null suddenly appeared in conjunction with Ryzen's conscience, reacting violently to anyone. At first he and the others thought that Null was a split personality of Ryzen, but after a very careful and thorough approach along with a lot of heart-to-heart talk, it was revealed that Null was a separate entity from Ryzen who had somehow found a way into Ryzen's body.
Although Null caught him off guard, he managed to befriend him, and now Null acts as his voice of reason. Null's defensive and cynical view of life makes him feel grounded in the world. He knows that having someone like Null can drag him down into negativity, but he's glad to have someone around who is realistic.
Ryzen
Ryzen abruptly arrived in Exray's world while he was shopping in the Tech District, Ryzen was found lying in an alley with broken parts and leaking coolant and can barely speak or construct sentences without glitching out. He contacted the others to help him get Ryzen back to the apartment. At first he thought Ryzen was a robot from a company or a citizen of the Neo region, but after carrying Ryzen into a repair shop and getting him fixed, Ryzen told him and the others that Ryzen was not from his world.
Ryzen is a friend who has a good outlook on life and is really knowledgeable about everything, especially since Ryzen is constantly learning about the world. Ryzen always knows the answer to things in his world, even though Exray himself is the native. Not only that, Ryzen is just a really supportive friend who always tries to get him to do good things for others.
Saber
Compared to other's, Exray's relationship with Saber is the shortest, about two years before debut. Despite this, he knew that Saber was just like the others, in need of help and place to belong. Slowly he breaks through Saber's cold demeanor and befriended him. He also helped Saber discover his passion for dance and idol culture.
Exray already considers Saber to be one of the pillars in his life, helping him to stand up and move forward, even though they haven't known each other for very long. Saber always pushes him forward whenever he doubts himself and is there to support his decisions and cheer him on.
Talon
Talon had already been in his world for quite a while, about five months before he met the group. Talon met Damon first and was then introduced to the others, Talon and Damon also hit it off straight away because the two had just experienced the same thing. With Damon's help, he helped Talon overcome his grief, and Talon started opening up to others.
In Exray's eyes, Talon is someone he wants to hold and protect, because underneath his hard scales and intimidating look there is someone who needs to be comforted. Although he loves to hug and comfort everyone, there is something about Talon that makes him want to cherish Talon more, and he hates to see Talon sad.
