Spike — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Ray Gunn
Age: 18
Appearance: Pictured with younger sister. Has since replaced his missing eye with a cybernetic replica.
Motives: Construct more powerful gadgets, use them to conquer the world.
Personality: The Mists made Ray an excellent engineer, but he's not any wiser. He's rash and impulsive and maybe a little bit hotheaded. He's an adrenaline junkie and loves to take risks. To him, this superhero academy gig is just a ticket to a life of excitement and danger. He's maybe a little more amoral than you'd expect a hero to be: He's not evil, but he's willing to use force if he thinks it will make things easier.
Backstory: Ray was a rebellious young man growing up in Union City, and frequently got into fights. His mom died shortly after his sister was born, when he was 3, and so he didn't have a lot of supervision. He was always causing trouble and generally a bad kid, even up until the crash.

Living in Union City, Ray was at ground Zero. His apartment complex was partially demolished by the impact. Ray was the only one in his family to be injured, losing an eye. 

After the incident, Ray and his family got some of that sweet, sweet relief money. And Ray kept having dreams of machines and complex math. Finally, he went to the library and started to research. He was never a good student, but suddenly, everything came to him as naturally as breathing. He spent several months camped out, learning as much as he could. Eventually, with the aid of a 3D printer and one of DNA Study's automated doctor machine, he successfully crafted himself a new eye. Of course, this made the news, and it wasn't long before he got his acceptance letter.
Powers/abilities: After the crash, Ray's mind expanded. He has a near-perfect memory and a fantastic reading comprehension and knowledge retention rate. It does not make him "smarter", per se, so much as he's just better at learning about science and engineering. Given the correct equipment, this gives him the ability to create technology beyond that which humans are normally capable of.
Evil Eye: After losing his right eye, Ray constructed himself a new one. It looks exactly like his previous one, but is in fact a sophisticated piece of technology. It allows him to "scan" others effected by the Mist upon eye contact, telling him the nature of their powers. It also has infrared vision, giving him perfect sight in the dark. Finally, it is connected to his Zapper, and serves as an advanced targetting system.
Zapper: A ray gun Ray invented. It can be seat to fire either a heat-based laser, an ice beam that coats anything hit in about an inch of ice, or an electrical zap that stuns foes. The laser and ice beam can be reflected off of mirrors, but the electric one can't. On the barrel is a small camera that hooks up to his Evil Eye, letting him see out of it and acting as a powerful scope. Combined with the fact that the beams don't produce any recoil, the Zapper is a very accurate and versatile weapon.


Skills: Before the crash, Ray was a delinquent, frequently getting into fights. Though he lacks formal training, Ray has strong mastery of the fundamentals: He can take a hit, and knows how to throw a hell of a punch. With proper training he will make an amazing martial artist.
