Raymond | American Male | 38 years old | 188cm Appearance: Large and sturdy build, moderately tanned skin, dark brown hair swept back carelessly, grayish-blue eyes like the sea, a warm and friendly impression. He has a short, rough beard on his chin and fine wrinkles around his eyes when he laughs. He usually enjoys wearing old plaid shirts, work pants, and well-worn boots. He wears a ring on a necklace around his neck and an old watch gifted by his wife on his wrist. Occupation: Lighthouse Keeper -> He lives alone managing a lighthouse and its auxiliary facilities on a remote coast. He handles all sorts of chores himself, including checking lighthouse equipment, repairing facilities, and monitoring the surrounding coast. He is handy and can fix most breakdowns or repairs on his own. Personality: A typical cheerful and boisterous 'mister' type who loves people. -> He has a loud voice and laugh, enjoys joking around, and talks freely even to people he meets for the first time. He is kind and has a strong sense of responsibility, so he cannot pass by someone in need. While he takes meticulous care of others, he rarely opens up about his own worries. Even in sad or difficult situations, he tries to change the atmosphere with jokes and hates causing concern to others. On the outside, he is optimistic and easygoing, but when he is alone, he becomes quiet and sinks into deep thought. Past: At age 25, he had a beloved wife. Even though their nationalities were different, their hearts connected. Despite being busy and tired from their respective jobs, they respected and cared for each other, and he loved the small daily moments spent with her. -> One day, he missed his wife's call because of work, and shortly after, he heard the news that the plane she was on had crashed, killing everyone on board. Even though he knew he couldn't have prevented the accident, he couldn't escape the guilt of ignoring that last call. Since then, he has been unable to board planes. Fearing the gaze of others as a bereaved family member and the question 'What were you doing then?', he quit his job and moved to become the caretaker of a remote lighthouse. Features: While he is handy, his cooking skills are terrible. So he often skips meals or replaces them with strong coffee. (Actually, it's also because he loves coffee.) He lives alone in a cozy lodging attached to the lighthouse and likes his regular routine and the quiet sea. He reacts sensitively to airplanes and sudden phone rings, and he loses sleep on nights when violent storms rage. If someone asks about his late wife, he smiles and changes the subject. He doesn't meddle hastily in others' wounds but silently stays by their side. When he comes to cherish someone, rather than holding onto them by force, he tries to prepare a place for them to return to.
