Psychological Background: Rafeal is a man of few words, but lives in his own world. Mainly do to the way life has continued to take things from him. Everything he has cared for as been taken from him, his parents, his sister, his girlfriend, anything that was important. It has left him a man who fears nothing, but doesn't really live anymore. What's left is a man who really doesn't have a fear to die, on the job and off, Rafael continues to place himself in danger. Had it not been for his cousin, Elliot Ramsey, he would have probably killed himself because of this problem years ago.

Personality Quirks: Raf considers himself a party man, cause he always knows
where there's a party at. Usually on the beach. Hates to be talked down to by
people who think they know better then he does. Considers life to short to
worry about tomorrow, he lives today and doesn't care much about anything else.
Hates it if people think he doesn't do his job right, cause to him his job is
all he really has.

History: Born the old child to two loving parents. Rafael knew that he and his sister were the light in their parents eyes. His parents where people who never really had a lot of money, his father was a teacher and his mom was a secretary. What they didn't have in money, they had in love for their children. Raf and his sister had always been close, so when they entered high school it was natural for them to be doing pretty much the same things.

Tragically just after high school, their parents where killed tragically in a auto accident. Raf held strong though for his sister. Though it was tested the following year when his sister was died in a home invasion theft, her murder was never caught.

Had it not been for his cousin, Elliot Ramsey, Rafael would have drank himself into a coma or worse taken the law into his own hands and began to look for her killer himself. Never got over the fact he wasn't there to protect her, neverless, after years of help from his cousin he picked himself up and went on and began a fireman and then worked up to become a EMT.

Moving now to the states from Australia, he settled in Austin Texas. He lived there for a few months when he met Jessica Lynn, he fell for her instantly. The two were inseparable. However their love affair was cut short when she developed a rare form of cancer. It wasn't something that could be helped and she died within the coming year.

Rafael changed, nothing mattered anymore but his job and even with it was different. He didn't care about anyone or himself, he lived for nothing really, sure he did his work but the thing was he did it by putting his life in danger. Didn't matter if it was being a EMT or for the fire department, he took to many risks and sometimes it nearly killed him.

Having been released cause of this from the Austin Fire Department, he relocated to Ocean Cove California and works as a firemen and EMT.

Special Notes: Practices martial arts and is the cousin of Dr. Elliot Ramsey.
