My Character

Raymond Barnett,
Raymond Barnett is a long time auto mechanic who has just become employed at a new shop. Troubled by a childhood of abuse and learning disorders he has spent much of his life an idler, leaching of his family living day to day with a cold indifference. Coming out of a halfway house from an alcohol addiction he is in a new town with a seemingly fresh start. Already very detatched, he often is just a long for the ride until lately. He has decided to alter his behavior and become more proactive and involved with others. He is also trying to expand his horizons and find new hobbies other than just fixing cars.
He wakes up late in the morning and quickly lets his dogs out before rushing to work. His hair still uncombed and his blue eyes slightly bloodshot he is paid to stay in the garage working under the cars right where he likes stay. He turns away social invitations from his coworkers with a gruff "busy" but is now strangled by his loneliness. He desperately is looking for new friends.
