» raleigh is super physical. he uses his entire body to talk, and is very expressive.
» after yancy died and had his memories hardcoded into raleigh's psyche, raleigh grew into yancy's physical and linguistic restraint; it's only after he gets to drift again that raleigh manages to separate between raleigh and yancy more clearly, mako's neural "voice" anchoring raleigh.
» given the chance, raleigh will pepper his loved ones with physical gestures of affection: playful slaps, big embraces, kisses on the cheek and other body parts, etc. he enjoys physical contact and the emotional fulfillment attached to the gestures.
» speaking of physical: he lost his virginity to an older girl the night he graduated from high school. yancy handed him condoms when he came home, which was pretty much the most mortifying experience of raleigh's life bar none.
» part two of the above: raleigh is... easy, in that it doesn't take a lot to get him to like someone, but when he doesn't like someone he'll take a really long time to come around and change that opinion. raleigh values emotional attachment over physical attraction, though, so while he's not a hard one to get to date or get romantic, anything physical has to be already couched on a very strong attachment.
» he's really just a high-schooler in an olympic-grade althetic body, with bonus death trauma.
» he's not shy about his scars, but he doesn't like to talk about them with anyone outside of a small handful of people, most of who are already dead.
» working out is a hobby. physical training was his favorite part of the academy programs.
» sometimes he hates that his body refuses to deteriorate or be less healthy, thinking that if only he'd been less physically formidable he wouldn't have been so damn cocky in the first place.
» he misses yancy every day. he doesn't believe he'll ever stop.
