Raymond
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race/Ethnicity: Half-Chinese, Half-British/English
Profession: Doctor and Physician
Physical Appearance: Raymond's skin is a light, olive color. He's thin, but not scrawny. He has long, sleek black hair that reaches to his mid-back. He ties it in a simple ponytail rather than the traditional Chinese ponytail. He wears full-moon spectacles, Chinese silk robes (often black or blue), a simple Chinese silk vest (any color is fine as long as it matches with his robe), shirt and pants underneath. Most of his facial features shout out 'Chinese' from his thin slanted eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. These were inherited from his Chinese father. Only his bright azure eyes were inherited from his mother.
Personality: Raymond is quite collected, but likes to socialize in a clam manner. To those he meets and is in company with; he's very respectful and polite. But don't think of him as slow-going, he's often merry (in a mild nature) and will lighten dismal situations or make the best of them. He has a sharp mind that's always eager to learn, making him a fast-learner. Despite living in China, a society where women are inferior to men, he holds great respect for the opposite gender. Living with Zen, Enz, and Skipbeat, Raymond has developed a big brotherly nature in which he is protective over everyone and put their well-being first.
Likes: The first to top his list is tea. He's somewhat addicted to it and isn't himself if he doesn't have at least one sip of it during the day. He prefers tea made of tea leaves and herbs as he enjoys both their taste and smell. So if he's ever depressed, offering him a cup of tea will help. He's also a huge appreciator of art. He enjoys doing calligraphy and the sound of instrumental music. He also loves water. Everything about it, from the sounds to the looks and feel of the life-giving liquid, puts his mind at ease. To him he sees bathing as a pastime and a highlight rather than an everyday task. Being with the others, Raymond has taken a liking to cooking for them and enjoys experimenting with taste rather than medicine as it's safer.
Dislikes: Coffee. He can't stand it's strong bitter flavor despite it's aromatic fragrance. It just doesn't suit him like refreshing tea. Although he's open to everyone in a conversation; he can't stand loud rambunctious people, those that are obnoxious and boast about themselves. However, he prefers to know people first rather than rely on first impressions, another thing he dislikes. As said earlier, Raymond holds great respect for women and frowns upon sexism. He won't hesitate to defend a woman's dignity and honor.
Abilities: Nothing really, Raymond is your average human. But he's extremely talented as a doctor, so his knowledge and skill in the field of medicine is invaluable.
Backstory: Raymond's father was a merchant, often sailing the seas and docking at foreign countries to sell his wares. One day, while staying at Britain, a certain women caught his eyes as did he to her. They dated and eventually fell in love with each other. Raymond's father offered to bring his mother to China so they could live together. She accepted his offer,happily. Having heard of the many wonders and riches of China, she wanted to see the country one day.
While on their journey back to China; Raymond's mother was pregnant with him. Arriving at China, they found a place in a town close to Shanghai and waited for Raymond's birth. He was born without complication and issues. Appearing Chinese, but having been born with blue eyes, made Raymond quite the oddity and talk of the town. The townsfolk, having accepted Raymond's mother with open arms, often complimented how his eyes suit him well.
As he grew, Raymond often found himself to be a magnet for all the town's ladies. He found life to be one of constant hiding as his admirers would tear the town apart searching for him. Deciding that enough was enough, he took to studying medicine. This required him to go away to live near an academy and go through intensive study and grueling exams. Being sharp of mind and clever, Raymond passed with flying colors. He returned to his hometown, a certified doctor much to his families' pride and joy.
Over a couple of months he worked as an apprentice under the town's local pharmacist, but eventually grew bored of it. Raymond itched to go out to see the lands his father had seen and been. To him, the rest of the world sounded like a treasure trove of experience and sights. Bidding the townsfolk and his parent farewell, Raymond left to travel the world and return with amazing stories to tell them.
Since becoming my Muse, Raymond has had his share of clashes and awe at technology. Raymond is still in touch with his parents and his world despite being my Muses, but he's careful not to reveal about the Realm or the future from what he's read in books.
Relationships
Zen: Raymond has grown quite close with the boy and has taken himself to be the boy's guardian of sorts. Time with Zen has given Raymond a big brotherly nature, always looking out for the boys' safety.
Enz: As said in Enz's profile, there is a small competition between the two of who cares for Zen the most. Raymond finds it a tad annoying when Enz calls him 'old man', but the doctor is patient and would never snap or vent his anger on the twin. Rather, Raymond rebuts Enz's heckling with a calm comment about how there's always room for improvement, or something along those lines.
Skipbeat: Being from an older time, Raymond finds the Decepticon fascinating. The doctor enjoys spending time with the Cybertronian and telling him about his life, era, and culture. Sometimes, Raymond teaches Skipbeat a few things about human anatomy and physiology.
Marcus: Raymond accepts the Shadow Man and his relationship with Zen. The doctor is proud that Zen has finally found love despite the boy's shyness. This doesn't mean that Raymond let's Zen or Marcus go freely from his watchful gaze. In case if things go badly or out of hand, Raymond won't hesitate to intervene.
