Name- Skip Raymond Lunch
Nickname- Skip lunch in itself is a name worthy of being used affectionately, but he tells people to call him Ray.
Age- 19
Image or Description- Skip is not much of an intimidating figure. A small boy, no taller than 5'3, a wire frame and small, beady eyes and rather smooth shaped head. His hands and feet are rather small and well groomed, his teeth somewhat crooked and a tint of yellow on them. His eyes are bright brown and almost gorgeous. He has a strong and prominent jaw and a crooked and large nose. His hair is cut very short and is very curly. Ray, unlike almost everyone in this group so far, has very tan with what seems like a very slight reddish tint to it, indicating there are Native American ancestors prominent in his blood. His body bears much power in his legs and back but is lacking any prominent muscle elsewhere showing those particular muscles were used much more than the others. Over his left cheek there is a long scar, looking more like a thin indentation and over his arms and legs, there are very slight scars that scatter them. generally, he will be seen wearing an old red baseball cap with a white front that has the logo of the 'RED MAN' Tobacco company. The whole thing is clearly worn and covered in grease, oil, and grist. His torso is covered by a thick white short sleeve shirt that has the same substances covering it as the hat. Over his feet are worn, old sneakers from an off brand and brown socks. His pants are usually some form of grey sweat pants. Though he does require glasses, which he carried with him in a back pocket (They are wireframed and have chews on the back, and the lens' are extremely thick) he rarely wears them. Do to him hitchhiking, he has a large camping backpack with him.
Why you're taking the trip of a lifetime- Ray's great grandfather is nearing his last living days, and Ray would like to say goodbye, thank you, and to get any info about their family he possibly can before the old man 'kicks the bucket'
Personality- Skip isn't one for talking or really being chummy. He usually talks when needed, speaks when spoken to and minds his own business. That being said he is a workaholic, requiring himself to be doing something. He can never just stand by and relax. This will often have him helping others in order to busy himself. He is very respectful and knows his manners to a T, and never seems to falter on them. Despite this, he does have his soft spots, for animals, his family and in particular his father and to offend any of those areas will show him as a violent, aggressive and rude man. He tends to come off a stoic for this: being some sort of fearless, silent and confident man. He is a stubborn man, and when he wants something, he will not stop until he gets something at least similar to that.
Backstory- Skip's parents were odd, his father a Native American who had left the reserve long ago to go after a prospect in New York to try to give his family something easier to live off of. They worked hard, and without a degree or a GED he struggled to actually make money for his family and in his shame ceased to talk with them. He married a young Jewish American and they had Skip. The family really struggled to get by, and at the age of 12 Skip started working odd jobs and garden work for people to try to help get extra cash for his family. This made much of his friendship much more disdained and he felt embarrassed to be with kids who he often worked for their parents. By high school, he was mostly alone and once he was 16 he made his way into auto repair. He no longer hung out with friends, instead of going with his father on small bursts of free time to be taught things his father was taught as a boy and to go hiking and camping. By the time Skip was out of school his family was financially stable but he knew that he'd never get to go to college, as they could never support that sort of money. So, he feels now is the time for him to see the world before he goes into the work force.
