― raygun never had many friends in his youth, always fiddling away in his mother's basement with chemistry sets, homemade gadgets, and sci-fi movies, leaving him to develop into quite the awkward adult he is today. obsessed with conspiracy theories and future possibilities, he spends most of his time alone and crafting questionable inventions such as inverse tennis, palmbrella, shower-in-a-can, toe sweeps, autotranscriber, bunk loungers, and his proudest accomplishment, melon power. despite his eccentric behavior, it is evident a misunderstood genius lies behind those thick lenses of his. perhaps the only useful tool of his are his assortment of smoke bombs, each painstakingly welded by his own paws. although his mind may be powerful, his body certainly isn't. ray is unfortunately out of shape, and unable to keep up with larger creature due to his physique -- in truth, the real reason is that he's addicted to junk food of all flavors and shapes. ray is typically a reserved canine, but is known for being able to ramble long-winded explanations of unimportant matters. he is surprisingly dark-natured despite his optimistic outlook and crooked grin, having amassed a treasure trove of gross or depressing facts about the scientific world, and quite a few unsettling theories about the supernatural world. the bizarre inventor never keeps a workspace tidy, and commonly forgets entire projects and experiments in the first place before moving on to another one. he is noticeably addicted to both marijuana and cocaine, and dabbles in other recreational drugs on a weekly basis. ray does have a knack for mechanics, and isn't afraid of getting his paws dirty for whatever cause he believes in -- thankfully, his morals are airtight and benevolent. nevertheless, he is quick to befriend those who can see past his oddities and even quicker to trust, a mentality that may lead to his downfall. he hates attention being drawn to himself, and tries to assist or comfort people despite his lack of social skills.
