Meet our protagonist

Ray Meyers lives in America.

Specifically, the city of Willemstad, capital of the state of New Netherlands.

He's a security guard (i.e. mallcop) at a nearby shopping mall...part time.  He doesn't care about making more money or having a more prestigious job.

He experienced some bullying in school as a child and teenager, and learned that violence is a very satisfying way to solve his problems when it's permissible.  He doesn't seek out fights, as he doesn't want to see himself as some sort of violent thug, but he doesn't shy away from them if he has an excuse to get involved.

His true passion is karate; he's a black belt.  However, he prefers "real" fights to tournaments or sparring, and "real" fights have a tendency to attract the attention of the police.  With no acceptable way to exercise his true passion, Ray has defaulted to killing time with more mundane activities like video games.  With little practical ambition and few real-world skills, Ray is stuck in a peaceful but mundane life, still living with his mother at age 22.

When our story begins, he begins to see things that nobody else can.  Things that are visible and audible, but intangible; like holograms, but acting with a will of their own.

What does this mean?  Why is this happening?  Is Ray going insane and hallucinating?  What effect will this have on his comfortable lifestyle?  What will happen if people find out?
