How would you cast a ray above and on the right of a character no matter where the character is facing?

Just set the direction to the vector you want (?) For the right ray there’s a special case, you will need to use the HumanoidRootPart’s RightVector.

local Character = script.Parent
local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character}

local function UpRay(Range)
	local Result = workspace:Raycast(HRP.Position, Vector3.new(0, 1, 0) * Range, Params)

	if Result then
		return Result
	end
end

local function RightRay(Range)
	local Result = workspace:Raycast(HRP.Position, HRP.CFrame.RightVector * Range, Params)

	if Result then
		return Result
	end
end

If I wanted to cast the ray forward as well, would I add the lookVector of the hrp?

Exactly! You could also use UpVector to cast it upwards.
