Personality: R.J. is usually a well-mannered man. He always tries to seek the best in people. He is a true altruist. Wherever he goes, whatever he does, he helps whoever is in trouble, no matter the cost or the problem. However, he often won't help those who doesn't perceive as innocent.
Perhaps the most defining characteristic of R.J. is the fact that he is a self-described nerd. He loves comic books, which compliments the powers everybody seems to be getting, in addition to films and video games. In fact, R.J. enjoys games of any kind. From card games to checkers to video games, he loves anything that can be turned into a game. This has caused him to develop a closeness to another game lover, John Locke.
Naturally, R.J. is a bit shy. Often, he experiences bouts of low self-esteem, depression, and anger, especially due to his lack of a stable family. However, he perseveres. Some believe his antisocial attitude toward others is a way for him to channel his depression and anger and to get his mind off of the loneliness he faces. If one were to look up "wiseass" in the dictionary, they would find...well, they'd find the definition of "wiseass." But perhaps in some obscure encyclopedia, they'd find a picture of R.J.
No doubt he is a deeply caring man. If he believes a person is being wronged, he'll stop at nothing until justice is served. In fact, this has put him at odds even with other heroes. Due to his eccentric personality, he views some laws as being beneath him and instead adhering to his own code of ethics.
Ability: Electromagnetism - R.J. is able to manipulate electromagnetic energies, due to his brain's generation of raw electromagnetic energy. A neat side trick allows him to hear certain electromagnetic patterns in his mind, allowing him to communicate with people over radios or televisions.
History: R.J. MacReady was born some twenty years ago in Hammond, Indiana. The son of a prominent businessman, it seemed that young R.J. had his life set. He showed an amazing intelligence, teaching himself to read at the age of two, and his family was nice and wealthy. However, life has a tendency to throw curveballs at the most bizarre times, and in his case, it was no different.
Orson was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, resulting in an early retirement from his job. As a result, he fell into a deep depression, and Sandra followed suit. The two developed various addictions, including gambling, which resulted in them quickly burning through Orson's retirement fund. By the time R.J. reached his later high school years, the family found itself facing poverty. Orson and Sandra divorced, and R.J.'s older sister took off on her own.
With what little money he had left, Orson started up a small auto shop and junkyard. Upon graduating from high school, R.J. dedicated himself to helping his father. However, shortly after the teen's 19th birthday, Orson had an accident in the shop, with an engine falling on and subsequently crushing him to the death. R.J. was given his share of his father's life insurance, and with this money, he traveled to Australia, in hopes of meeting his internet girlfriend. Unfortunately for him, it turned out to be a giant prank orchestrated by internet trolls, resulting in him wasting over a thousand dollars in addition to being humiliated.
In the face of this, R.J. decided to change his return flight to Los Angeles, California, where he planned to commit suicide at the world famous Hollywood Sign - a fantasy that he had had since his adolescence. Unfortunately, this would never come to be, as the plane he was on crashed on an uncharted island. Along with the other survivors, he found that he had gained mysterious abilities - in his case, electromagnetism. Using his powers, he supplies the other survivors with electrical power, allowing them to operate lights and other supplies.
