Username: [Swollenfish]
Name: Reonaldos (pronounced: Ray-a-nal-dos) Merk
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Occupation: Labour force weapons engineer.
Hometown: Thysantia

Personality: Ray is an outgoing, friendly guy who is a little over-eager sometimes when meeting new people. He’s usually full of energy, and is quite headstrong; more often than not leaping before thinking. As such, he can come on a little strong when meeting people and it can be a little intimidating though once it’s past that point he’s actually quite a nice guy, always ready and willing to help people despite how little he knows them. Unusually, he has a fascination with guns, which offsets his otherwise pro-life outlook.
Appearance: He has a mullet, but keeps the long part in a ponytail and the short part in a “faux-hawk” hair style. His hair is black and he wears a white shirt with two buttons undone at the collar line, with brown pants and black mid-calf boots. He was leather wrapped around the rest of his calves and leather strap on his right arm at the bicep, mostly as fashion statement. He often keeps a pistol strapped low on his right hip, but never really uses it as it is mostly there for show and as a deterrent to any would-be muggers, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to use it. He is tall, about 6ft 2, and quite muscular from his days spent working as a labourer.

History: Ray had relatively stable life growing up in the lower-middle class part of Thysantia, as his father was a chief weapons engineer in a government factory that worked towards making bigger and better guns and artillery for use in the armed forces. This was probably where his fascination with them started, since as a young boy he would go with his father sometimes and watch them work on the weapons. His mother died when he was in his early teens and it wasn’t long before he started working in the same field as his father did, though he chose not to go on to senior management, since he preferred to be involved in the actual process of making the weapon instead of overseeing it. He began buying low caliber pistols that he admired (and quite often made) with his wages directly from the factory itself, and keeps them in a cabinet in his small one-bedroom flat in the slums of Thysantia. He otherwise leads quite a simple existence, with some close friends and many more not so close ones. The day he received the letter was no different than any other, but this was no doubt about to set things in motion...
Other: Likes to be called “Ray” for short.
