First Impression: Upon first meeting Ray, people would be surprised to hear he's a part time professor considering he acts like he's a typical 18 year old male (IE: Loves to play video games, go to Fallout Boy concerts, sex drive at peak, etc...) However, there are times when he talks a certain way or gets a certain look in his eyes which shows others the great intelligence that lies within.
Note: I'm open to anything, however it if involves serious alteration to my character I would appreciate being asked first. Examples of such things include making decisions for my character, transforming my character, rape and character death. |

PERSONALITY: |
| Ray would not exactly fit most people's description of a part time college professor going for a dual graduate degree. He loves to party, pull practical jokes and go to extremes. That doesn't mean he isn't cautious, he just loves to have a good time and do things that get his adrenaline flowing and his heart pumping. He would not do anything that has a great chance of putting himself or someone he cares about in great danger.
However, no matter what, Ray is a kind and caring individual, always willing to give whatever is needed of himself to help those in need since that was the way he was raised by his adoptive parents. He always would lend a hand shoulder, or ear to anyone who would need it and is a true loyal individual. He would do whatever it took to protect those he cares about.
However, when it comes to work, inventing, and teaching Ray's demeanor and personality change immediately revealing the intellect and maturity far beyond his years that he has. He puts all of his focus into completing a task, blocking everything out of his mind except for the task at hand since he knows failure would not usually be good.
In terms of his sexuality, Ray doesn't say a word about it, since he really feels that no one really needs to know about it, even though he isn't ashamed at all about the fact that he loves hot guys. He doesn't care if anyone else finds out since the few who have really didn't seem to care who he gets into bed with. |
GOALS: |
| To find a boyfriend, to help others, to make his parents proud of him, To have as much fun as possible, To make a positive impact on the world. |

Size Alteration: Self; Currently Ray can shrink himself and the clothes he is wearing down to the sub-atomic level. Considering what had happened with his previous experiments with the white dwarf fragment which had enabled things to grow, it is quite possible that he could learn to grow in size as well in the future.
Mass Alteration: Self; Ray can shift his mass into some unknown extra-dimensional space, allowing him to keep his normal strength when he shrinks as well as use it to be as light as a feather. He can also increase his mass, perhaps drawing on dimensional mass from the same space as he shifts his mass to, which increases his molecular density giving him the ability to lift up to 20 tons for up to 30-45 minutes and resistance to all but the strongest physical and energy attacks.
Gliding: At reduced sizes, Ray becomes 'as lite as a feather' and gains the ability to glide on air current for distances of up to 500 feet. |
SKILLS & ABILITIES: |
| Martial Arts: Being smaller and younger than the other students led Ray to be picked on and bullied a lot, so as he did with all the problems he faced, he simply thought of a way to solve it. In this case, it was to take martial arts classes. As always, he put his heart and soul into and now has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Karate. |
DISADVANTAGES: |
| Charm: With the combination of Ray's body and natural energetic personality, all it takes is one of his charming smiles and a flex of his muscles. He can't charm the pants off of anyone (Sometimes literally), but he is pretty skilled at getting most people to smile and see his way, among other things....
Electronics: Throughout Ray's many triumphs and failures with inventions, he has a basic idea of how most electronic devices work and how to repair them as well if they are not too complicated.
Inventing: Ray's creative mind has lead to him to think of numerous things to make. Most have ended in failure, but a few have created some profitable results.
Physics/Archeology: These are Ray's primary areas of expertise and he could tell you everything there is to know about these scientific areas.
Science: While Ray's specialty's of knowledge are Physics and Archeology, he does have a great deal of knowledge of the other sciences (IE: Biology, Chemistry...) so while he wouldn't be a master of it, he would at least be able to have a basic idea of what's going on.
Skateboarding: Like most teenage boys, Ray loves to skateboard and can do quite a few interesting stunts.
Video Games: One of Ray's favorite activities is playing video games. While he wouldn't qualify to compete in any tournaments anytime soon, he's definitely the master of games such as Halo 2 and Virtual Fighter 5 among his friends. |

Customized '73 Blue Ford Thunderbird |
CONTACTS
CONTACTS: |
| Ryan Choi: One of Ray's best friends. He is a fellow childhood prodigy with the same personality as Ray, although his specialty is in electronics. He helped design the technical details of Ray's costume.
Jean Loring: Ray's closest childhood friend and a freshman at UCLA. Despite them being worlds apart, figuratively, while at the same age, she and Ray have remained very close. She helped design the look of Ray's costume before Ryan made it, since he wants to go into a career in fashion design. She also harbors a secret crush on Ray, but knows there is no hope of anything ever happening because he is gay.
Dr. Rachel Stein: A close friend of Ray's mother who helped Ray get into UCLA and was also the one who introduced Ray to the concept of the White Dwarf Energy. She considers him not only as a brilliant colleague but as though he were her own son. |

| Mark Palmer: Father;

HISTORY
Origin: Just another run-of-the-mill mad scientist with a few rocks and way to much unstructured free-time.
History: Ray was the only child born to Mark Palmer, a police officer and Christina Palmer, a high school English teacher. From a very young age, it was obvious that he was very intelligent, especially when it came to science. He created quite a number of inventions, but only a few profitable success, like a couple of new ice cream flavors he made at age 10 which he still gets checks for.He breezed through high school, graduating at 14, and soon entered UCLA thanks to the help of a friend of his mother's who taught there, majoring in Physics and Archeology at the same time.
One of the first experiments he became involved meteorites that came into contact with a white dwarf star before landing on Earth. Ray found that when the energy now contained by these fragments was reflected onto objects in certain ways, the objects either grew or shrank. However, this also made the objects unstable and they exploded within a matter of minutes.
After many attempts, Ray gave up on the project, although he vowed one day that he would firue out a way to keep the objects stable. Time passed and Ray found himself in some Aztec ruins in Central America for an Archeology class trip during his junior year. He was checking out the details on a statue when the fragile ground gave out beneath him and he fell a short distance into a pit He got up, a bit bruised but ok, and was shocked to find a large, intact, meteorite glowing with the same type of energy as the white dwarf star. It was set up in a shrine, which Ray guessed was because the Aztecs probably saw this as a gift from the gods.
He took a few steps closer to the meteorite when one of its rays hit a ring he was wearing and bouncing off the walls before it him, shrinking him down. Ray was definitely shocked, not just by what had occurred to him, but the fact he still retained his mass in his shrunken state and could increase and decrease it at will. As he found when he lifted a medium-sized rock in his shrunken state to boost him up then decreasing it so he could jump and ride a huge wind current up and out of the pit.
Once he got out of the pit, Ray ran as far as he could from the ruins in his shrunken state, knowing what was going to happen to him and not wanting to hurt the rest of the students. Howeve,r an hour passed, then another, then another which surprised Ray when he found he wasn't going to explode. Not only that, but by simply thinking about it he was able to reach his normal size again.
When he returned home, he told two of his closest friends, Ryan and Jean, about what had occurred and the two tried to convince him to become a superhero to help others and even designed a costume for him. He refused at first, but part of him is still currently toying with the idea of following through on things. He has since graduated from UCLA and is a part time teacher while going for his graduate degree in Physics and Archeology.
