Notes
90% of the time he'll have a lit cigarette between his lips, a terrible habit that he doesn't much care to drop. - Soft-Spot
Under Raymond's confrontational and rebellious attitude he does actually have a soft spot for those who can't fight for themselves. The weak, sick, hungry, the misfits of society, and the misunderstood. He does his best to help those most others have overlooked.
Determined
If Raymond has his mind set on a goal he'll pursue it until he achieves it or he dies trying, never giving up against the odds.
Stubborn
When Raymond has his mind set in one way it's unlikely to talk him into another without some heavy persuasion and possibly a little bribery.
Problem with Authority
Raymond rarely, if ever, does what he's told. He will typically do the opposite if possible when given an order. He's a very do it how he wants kinda guy.
History
Raymond was born on December 21st, 2019 to Margret and Jonathan Walker. Margret and Jonathan were, until recent events (Rapture incident) successful in life. Margret was an investigative journalist and Jonathan was a successful stock broker on wall street at the time. Margret and Jonathan never were highly in favor of supers or the blue card initiative, nor were they a fan of the idea of letting their sons grow up in such a setting. Without much discussion needed the family uprooted and moved to Quebec in Canada where Margret's parents lived.
Life from this point on was rather normal for Raymond, living with his mother and older brother Alex while their father worked abroad, having changed careers to take a higher paying position with a larger corporation to make up for Margret's decrease in income. Raymond spent most of his time with his brother and grandparents who mostly raised the boys while their mother worked long days at a factory nearby. Lisa and Robert Morgan were an old fashioned couple who fully shared Margret and Jonathans opinion that supers were not natural or right to this world. Raymond never did truly fall to their influence growing up, he was always a boy lost in the world of books and games, a child whose imagination would run wild.
As Raymond grew older he began to form his own opinion of things, one that was in contrast to his family's. Raymond was much kinder than his brother, Alex, who was always the quickest to agree with his grandparent's rants and raves against supers. Alex followed along with the family narrative far more closely than his younger brother of 3 years,
Raymond and Alex's relationship moving into their teenage years was turmoil at best. Alex was quick to lord over and bully around his younger brother and, being three years younger, there wasn't much Raymond himself could do. Raymond's grandparents weren't much help in this situation. Being as old fashioned as they were they chalked it merely to brothers quarreling and nothing worse than just being boys. But as the years marched on Raymond too grew to match his brother in size and strength and soon the tables turned. Raymond managed to separate himself from his brother further over the next couple years before the two were separated with Alex going off to University.
Raymond hadn't ever really thought about higher education until he saw his brother move out and on his own as he left for university. Raymond had never thought of it as an opportunity to leave, a way to get out and also be on his own. Raymond's performance in school and attitude at home improved greatly as he strived for his goal. As Raymond improved in school over the years his parents took note, and as Raymond began looking into college his parents came forward offering to pay for his tuition, full cost, their only condition being that Raymond went to the school they suggest, a private high-level university. Raymond didn't necessarily see any ill will in this offer and was easily enticed by his parents offer.
That was his great mistake. For two years Raymond dealt with the rigorous and strict lessons of the private academy, alongside his rd-year brother who had no intent in letting their feud die over the last three years. Alex did what he could to make Raymond's own life a living hell, and out from under the watchful eye of their mother and grandparents, his methods got progressively more violent. Raymond was caught trying to beat his brother's face, figuratively, and was expelled halfway through his sophomore year. He was left with no choice but to return home.
Raymond's parents were outraged that he'd gotten himself expelled, and even more so when they learned why he was expelled. Raymond tried to defend himself, telling of the things his brother had done. This only made his parents outrage worse, not believing that Alex would ever do some of the things Raymond accused him of. Alex lied his way out of most of the accusations as well, even coming home soon after the incident to "recover" as the doctors said.
Things only grew more heated in the household in the coming days, and it was no surprise when Raymond tried to finish what he started. This time the tables were turned though and Alex found himself with the upper hand. The fight was tremendous and in the process, the two tore apart the living room. It neared a climax when Alex attempted to bash Raymond over the head with a makeshift bludgeon. In the heat of the moment, Raymond threw his arms up and a burst of cold froze the wood, causing it to shatter on contact with Raymond's arms. Raymond's family was appalled and they quickly threw him out into the streets.
Raymond was on his own for the night, but as soon as morning arrived he was able to go to a library and get ahold of his grandfather. Nikolai Walker, Nathan's grandfather on his father's side, was fully willing to allow Raymond to come live with him and was even more accepting of the news that Raymond had developed a power. The only thing between Raymond and that was his newly discovered power. Nikolai lived in the US, and that would require Raymond to attend an Aegis facility. Nikolai was able to pull a few strings, though, getting Raymond a spot at an Aegis facility in Baltimore. - Margret Walker (Mother): Margret Walker, previously Margret Morgan, the daughter of Lisa and Robert Morgan. Margret Walker is an investigative journalist and secretly a Knights of Raguel activist (unknown to Raymond.) This explains much of her absence as it was spent assisting their efforts the best she could manage. Margret is very much anti-super.
Jonathan Walker (Father): Jonathan Walker, youngest son of Nikolai and Eleanor Walker. Jonathan Walker is an exceptionally skilled business man who does the majority of his work overseas in the auto manufacturing. Jonathan's hate of supers comes from his history, where he blames his father Nikolai for the death of his mother.
Alex Walker (Brother): Alex, Raymond's older brother. The boy is a textbook sociopath who's tormented Raymond most of his life. Alex has adopted the family narrative and is highly anti-super.
Lisa Morgan (Grandmother): Lisa Morgan, Raymond's grandmother on his mother's side. Lisa is a retired real estate agent and a part-time anti-super activist (mostly just protests).
Robert Morgan (Grandfather): Robert Morgan is Raymond's grandfather on his mother's side, a retired army vet who shares his wife's views of supers, although he's much more content to sit in a chair and grumble about them than actually go do anything.
Nikolai Walker (Grandfather): Father to Jonathan and Leon Walker, Nikolai is a famed storm caller who's diverted many a hurricane or possible tornado in his lifetime. He's a registered blue card holder living on the east coast of the US with his oldest son, Leon. Nikolai blames himself for the death of his wife, Eleanor, who was assisting with a hurricane diversion when Nikolai allowed himself to be knocked unconscious by debris and the storm was let to run it's course, catching Eleanor in the untamed hurricane.
Eleanor Walker (Grandmother/Deceased): Eleanor is Jonathan's dead mother, she was a brilliant hyper-intelligent super who assisted Nikolai in his efforts of diverting storms. During an accident in the last hurricane, Nikolai tried to divert Eleanor was killed by flying debris.
Leon Walker (Uncle): Leon is a renowned hyper-intelligent super currently famed for his expansions into the major robotics field, living on the east coast. Leon is frequently traveling around the nation or the world for his work when he's not teaching university classes on advanced robotics. - Cryokinesis
The ability to create a cold aura around himself within about a 10-meter radius. 10 is the max, though, and exhausting to keep up for long. The lowest the temperature can reach is 0 F°. As towards ice, he can only freeze things on contact, and he can't actually freeze organic matter (excluding plant matter). He can lower surface temperature on the point of contact, though, as if being touched with an object that's 0° C. Water he can freeze into any shape as long as he's in contact with it. He can add on to ice but he's unable to move it after it is ice.
- Cold Blooded: Raymond is naturally much colder than others due to his power and is immune to the effects of sub-zero temperatures.
- I Am The Storm: In periods of extreme duress when Raymond is truly at risk of dying his survival instincts kick in as the adrenaline courses through his veins. Raymond's powers go into overdrive, creating a roaring blizzard around him in order to protect and provide possible escape, or as a last ditch in order to survive. This will leave Raymond completely exhausted and comatose for a day at the very least.
Limitations
- Fire: Raymond can't do much in the presence of extreme heat unless presented with a decent source of water. Fire can directly combat his power.
- Vibrations: Incredibly difficult if not impossible to freeze, making sound-based abilities a counter.
- Dry: Raymond also cannot do much with his power in the presence of a dry climate. A desert, for example, would render Raymond useless.
- Agreed Upon Maximums: No constructs can be bigger than a car. No moving parts, Aura temp doesn't drop below 0 F°. Unable to freeze organics (excluding plant matter.) Can't control water. Freezing has to come from contact.
- Cold Blooded: Raymond is naturally much colder than others due to his power and is immune to the effects of sub-zero temperatures.
- Skill: Techy: Hyper-intelligence seems to run in the family and although Raymond isn't hyper-intelligent he is fairly intelligent and has an aptitude for technology. Like an IT student.
Skill: Chess: Raymond is a brilliant chess player because of his father. His father always used to play chess with his mother, who taught him everything. When she died it became one of the one things to remember her by and he passed on the skill to Raymond, teaching him early into his childhood.
Flaw: Smoker: Raymond's bad habit has taken a toll on his lungs, making prolonged running or other hard physical activities painful and more difficult.
Flaw: Lazy: Raymond isn't very active or proactive, he'd much rather procrastinate things or avoid the things he doesn't want to do. - N/A Currently. Other than a pack of cigarettes.
