Ray Vantair

> "Ryan, you were a good kid. Sometimes you were a hassle, but that doesn't make you a bad person. We all have our moments where we get a little annoying. It happens. That doesn't make us bad. It makes us flawed. It's better to be flawed than to be perfect."

## Background

### Pre-Apocalypse

Born and raised in Muskegon, Michigan, he was an only child. He was really into rock music whilst growing up. He put a lot of posters up in his room. He used to play on an SNES. When he moved out, he left the posters behind so that his parents could have something to remember him for.

### Apocalypse

When the apocalypse broke out in Dimension 16894, Ray ran into an abandoned twelve-year-old. They're name was Ryan Senoaks. Ray was 27 at the time. He took him under his wing and raised him as his own. The two are roughly eight years apart from each other. Ray taught Ryan how to defend himself and others, and how to help people and himself.

#### Finding the Van

A couple of years into the apocalypse hitting D-16894, Ray and Ryan found themselves fleeing from a hoard of infected humans. Ray spotted a green Ford van. and the two of them entered it. After turning on the van, Ray started to drive away from the scene, only for him and Ryan to discover there was more to the van than what met the eye. A portal opened up, and sent them on an inter-dimensional journey that has been going on for eight years.

### Dimension Hoppers Pre-Novel Era

The Dimension Hoppers crew was massive in its peak. Almost around thirty members at max. However, a lot of them died on the way, including even a few children.

There was also a traitor on the team. Her name is Amber Mirrokee. While everyone was working on surviving and figuring out how to stop the apocalypse, Amber was secretly being really abusive to Ryan. when Ryan finally broke and told Ray, he became livid and threw Amber out of the van. This made her furious, eventually becoming the Dimension Hoppers' greatest adversary.

There was a time when the DH Crew were put on an underwater gameshow where they were forced to choose painful decisions or else they would suffer consequences. They managed to escape, but had sadly lost a few members, and it left a member scarred.

### Dimension Hoppers Novel Era

Ten of the Pre-Novel era lived to get to this era. That includes Ray Vantair, Ryan Senoaks, Tori Lenetchra, Misty Brookes, Tristan Corvinter, Flotsam Senesha, Riley Sazurá, Brandon Friseal, and Svetlana Bogatyryova. That also includes Amber Mirrokee, much to the crew's chagrin. The crew, however, was bound to grow again, as they continued their eight year long journey.

#### The Floating Islands

After an insane joy ride caused by Ryan, the crew ended up in The Floating Islands (Dimension 3786). This is where the crew met Lincoln. After surviving a heavy wind storm, they crew were preparing to leave the dimension, when they were attacked by infected creatures. Although Ryan was attacked, he wasn't infected, because certain species can't infect other species instead of their own. Svetlana and Lincoln saved Ryan, and the crew got out of there.

#### Inside a Three-Story Mall (Monica in the Mall)

The Dimension Hoppers crew would end up crashing through a wall of a three-story mall, discovering they drove into a Macy's. Brandon would grab a coat and throw it at Tristan. Ryan gave Lincoln his name. Svetlana had a joyride inside of the Macy's store before driving out into the first floor lobby. Lincoln jumped into a fountain to clean himself off. Ray started walking around. Then the crew heard a lot of commotion, like the sound of someone fighting. Ray and the crew watched as someone from the second floor fell off the banister. Then someone walked out onto the balcony. They almost shoot Ray, but he manages to dodge it. He then is able to calm the person down. They reveal themselves as Monica Vescovich, a lady all decked out in punk-rocker attire, a band shirt, and a white backpack. She reveals to the crew that she used to be in a band called Chasing Something Obscure, and that she has been living in the mall for a year.

Monica gives the crew a tour around the first floor of the mall, including in indoor water-park that was somehow still functional. She also showed them a VHS tape of a strange fire from her childhood.

Upon turning a corner, the crew found that bandits have entered the mall, something Monica is familiar with. The crew fights off the bandits while Monica helps the crew out. Tristan went crazy with a machine gun, Ray threw a grenade at a car, Brandon fired at the bandits, Svetlana rammed a vehicle, before swerving into a hole in a wall, getting the crew out of the mall. They eventually drove away from the mall. The town they were in looked destroyed. The crew eventually jumped away from Dimension 534.

#### Worldwide Train Station (Battleborn Kid)

Ray and the crew found themselves in a cave. The air was cold in the world. They would eventually exit the cave only to run into Whitticus, a little seven-year old boy of a species the crew have not met yet. After calming down, Whitticus explains to the crew that he had to kill his last friend because he became infected, and that his family is gone. He also shows how tactical he is, getting the interest of Tristan.

Whitticus explains to the group how trains are his world's only transportation, and that his planet is farther than usually from their star. Train World (Dimension 23115). Whitticus spotted an upcoming horde. Tristan found out a beam was missing from the tracks. This would cause a train to derail, almost killing a few of the crew members. Inside the train, there were several infected creatures. In the front car, there was someone trying to escape, so the crew helped her out, with Ryan saving her. Her name was Emmatina, and she was the conductor

The crew would eventually learn that Amber's Crew were the cause of the train's derailing. The DH crew drove away from the scene.

#### Burning Memories

The crew end up in Ray and Ryan's home dimension. Ray drives to his house to see if it's still there. He finds it abandoned. The crew walk around the house, while Lincoln patrolled the outside. Amber was around, and had her RV cloaked, so it was invisible. She had Lane, one of her lackeys, burn the house down. Everyone got out alive.
