Like the dark, he seems to be constant. Often focused to his goals and knows how to get them, and he will definitely work his way to attain it. His moral compass is corrupted by trauma and regrets. He behaves as if he’s consumed and has been reshaped by the thing he fears the most, death.

[break][break]
And just like the dark, he is a mystery. He can be anything. Raymond is unstable, mentally breaking into a mad spree of bloodlust then quickly crumbling down into a pitiful meat bag of emotions. Being schizophrenic doesn’t help too, and he seems to be pretty convinced that the voices inside his head is death itself, salaciously feeding him lies of eternal life through death.

[break][break]
He has developed a strange animosity with the living. He has a nihilistic view with life, preaching constantly how their awareness is nothing but a curse. He promises to set everyone free from it, and join him in the void. He absolutely hates people who’re convinced life is beautiful, and being around them will definitely trigger the worst out of him.



It happened too fast.

[break][break]
He was the employee of the month, no, rather months. It’s an impressive record, especially since he worked in a gym. Then he just became bed ridden. He was diagnosed with bone cancer, right on his ribs. Despite leading a salubrious lifestyle, misfortune chose him. It was an unfair. All the schedules, the diet, everything he endured and he is just going to die earlier than an alcoholic.

[break][break]
Everyone wished him the best, hoping he’d recover. He knew better, there was no way. The thought of death consumed him every night, the state of being nothing anymore. It came to the point that he couldn’t even sleep properly since it felt the same way.

[break][break]
Then came a lot who offered him a possible cure. He signed up for it, became their lab rat so long they fixed him right up. He suffered from their experiments, but after going through series of paralyzing pain, he blacked out. Raymond had a strange dream, a being spoke to him. It told him that this is merely a temporary fix, he’ll still die. There’s an out, it promised him an eternal life. In turn however, it demanded him to become the harbinger of enlightenment, become their hero who’ll unbind them from the chains of life.

[break][break]
He was no longer the same. His flesh became black as the night, and his bones protruded as if he’s inside out. The only exception was his head. Raymond woke up in a locker meant for the dead, realizing so enraged him. He broke out with his newfound abilities, leaving a trail of bodies as he escaped.

[break][break]
Now he wanders the country, following the voice of his made up master.

There are plenty of things wrong with Raymond’s physiology. It appears that his bones to be outside his body, but they are no ordinary bones, they’re sturdy to the point he utilizes them like armor. On top of that, he still has a skeleton inside. So technically, he has two sets of skeleton, an exterior and an interior one.
[break][break]
He regenerates exponentially faster than most. He can close a flesh wound within a couple of minutes. He is unaffected by any disease or viruses, as long as it originated in Earth. If it's magical or from another world, he'll be at least resilient against it. This mutation has also affected the compound of his flesh and blood. Both appears to be pitch black and stenches like burning rubber and expired milk.
[break][break]
His physical capabilities are improved, easily contesting with a lot of supers. He can lift an entire car and complete a hundred meter under five seconds. While it’s nothing compared to speedsters or those who have super strength, it opens a lot of possibilities when used with his other mutations.



He’s able to manipulate, recreate, or shape his own skeletal structure within reasonable form. His bone’s construction is stronger than ordinary ones. It’s nothing too powerful since it’s only able to pierce through titanium after repeated attempts.



The art of death allows him to raise the dead and do his bidding. He’s not an expert of dabbling into the more complicated aspect of it, so instead he focuses on what he do with his undead minions.
[break][break]
This however allows him to sap life with mere touch overtime. It usually takes five seconds to completely do it. He uses it to heal himself more efficiently or to satiate his hunger.



He’s able to manipulate the darkness around him. He can even strengthen them to the point a flashlight wouldn’t be enough. He can use the darkness to shape figures, but they’ll be incorporeal and cannot physically interact with basic matters.
[break][break]
Raymond is able to blend into darkness, thoroughly concealing his form. While so, he is invisible not only to the naked eye, but to heat visions, magical magnifiers, or even psychic waves. The darkness also allows him to hop through one place into another, similar to how teleportation works.
[break][break]
Lastly, Raymond can see through the dark. He’s able to navigate in it no matter how thick it is, but in turn makes him sensitive to sudden exposure of bright light.
