The BasicsName: Rayne Nonna Vikenti
Nicknames: Angel (old one)
Age: 19 (February 14, 1995)
Orientation: Heterosexual
Desired Rank/Job: College Student (University of Vermont) but also works at the comic store with Thomas Geiston.
Powers: Reanimation- Rayne, obviously, can bring the dead back to life. Not all dead though, since there are many limitations to what she can bring back. Unlike many would like to believe she cannot bring back long deceased since she has to get to the body before decomposition sets in . It's unsure why exactly but she's tried a few times to no avail. Her ability is also limited to merely bringing the dead back, not healing. So if the animals has serious injuries that it died from her power could force the heart to beat but the animal would die once again. For this reason animals that die of old age or disease are also on the "can/should not be reanimated" list. As far as side effects go Rayne has the standard effect of general drowsiness to extreme lethargy after bringing back an animal (the more complex the creature, the more tired she will become) till the point she can become dizzy and pass out after healing too many animals within a 24 hours time frame. If just healing bugs she can usually combat this by drinking coffee since the force she expels is far less than if she were to heal a horse.
Her ability does not last forever though and animals she brings back tend to have a short life span. For instance her dog, Adonis, will most likely only live 7 years instead of the full 10 possible with his breed. She also cannot bring back an animal that she's already reanimated. When attempted the animal's heart will give out.

General Appearance: Rayne has a long, slender body that seems to be the standard in her family. She did, however, miss the gene that would give her the height of the rest of her family possessed. Instead she was stuck at a small insignificant (to her) height of only 5'4. When coupled with her slender frame it made the girl look much more pixie like than what she should have. Her most striking feature, though, is not her height but instead her ice blue eyes that when they hit the light looked like a foggy gray. Her hair is a deep black from being dyed repeatedly (in her attempt to fit in with her brother's looks) and often has strips of blues, reds, or purples. (Though the strips are just colorful extensions.)
As far as clothing goes, Rayne enjoys wearing darker colors because they will make her eyes pop and her skin look more luminescent. However the sole decision behind any of her clothing choices is “comfortable”. She’s done away with a lot of her more girly clothes and has instead tried to fashion a wardrobe similar to her older sister, only darker. This means she’ll almost always be wearing heels and have some kind of jacket on (except in the summer months when she’ll become a strict tank top and shorts girl).
Personality:
Rayne is an idealist. In the sense that she wants the world to work only a certain way, with metas using their gifts to their full extent. Meaning she believes that people with biological manipulation should be doctors, pyrokinetics should be firefighters, people with tracking should work to find missing people. She is aware the world doesn't actually work this way but she often strives to try and convince people to lean into her way of thinking. Usually she does this with blunt force and "valid" points of how many lives could be saved, sometimes just ignoring the other persons argument all together. That being said she understands where there are cases when a pyrokinetic shouldn't be a firefighter, as some people just can't be trusted in certain career paths. She's a big fan of dreaming big, even if her dreams are impossible. As such she can make huge extravagant plans and get so excited over her plans. Such as trying to plan to run a vet clinic with herself and a biological manipulator because she thinks they could utilize their powers together to be able to save many lives.
But life isn't all about her impossible dreams. Aside from her extreme excitement of her "crackplot" plans (which lead her to call up friends as early as 3AM to tell them) Rayne is a fairly "relaxed" person. Though the relaxed state doesn't last long before she's up and ready to do something new. She enjoys having friends over and thrives in company, though she's still fairly uncomfortable in large crowds. Her favorite activity, aside from plotting world domination (in the best way possible), is to push her nose rather abruptly into other people's business. Be it finding out why someone is crying, or just general nosy-ness. She finds it next to impossible to avoid not shoving her opinion into other people's problems and more often than not her opinion is followed by her attempting to help. Help which can be anything from trying to offer up options, to trying to set her two best friends so everyone is happy at in a relationship.
While Rayne is the voice of reason in her family, outside of that she's a regular little spitfire. She's used to getting her way whenever she wants so she doesn't usually ask for something- she demands. She doesn't just suggest going out to a club- she tell everyone they'll be going. This isn't done with malicious intent, it is just the Rayne is accustom to. Never having to explain or justify your actions to older brothers does that for a girl. So when she does have to defend her actions she becomes a little defensive and can get a little snappy with the people questioning her.Your VicesLikes:

Unlike her six year old brothers who were born with pitch black hair and soft amber eyes, Rayne was born with sun kissed blonde hair and eyes the color of the Caribbean sea. It wasn't until her birth that the knowledge that Gaia was having an affair became apparent.
Still no one ever blamed the young child for the impending divorce. Instead her self sacrificial brother seemed to take the majority of it, something that made Antosha a god in the eyes of Rayne. A sense that never really faded as time went on. She followed him around the house like a baby duck, feeding off his every word, getting piggyback rides. When she wasn't obsession over her idol, Rayne chose to hide in small closets and read picture books. Or she'd get her favorite brother to read to her.
It wasn't until she was six that impending storm finally reared its head and Gaia and Joshua finally broke their marriage. The family separated, with Joshua and Vladimir remaining in Russia, while Rayne, Gaia, and Antosha all moved out to America. They only moved because Gaia had a long time friend, with whom she went to school with, and he offered to try to make the transition easier while providing Gaia emotional support. However they never fully moved to the town in which he lived, her mom muttering something about too many memories.
Life in America wasn't all that her mother had built it up to be. People bullied her and her brother because they couldn't speak English. Antosha had taken the worst of it since he was in a higher grade and she was just in measly kindergarten. A lot of that changed when an incident at Ant's school cause him to be sent away. She wasn't told the details at the time but she remembers her mother telling her that Antosha had to leave to go to school and he'd be living with Uncle Kent.
After that her life became lonely. Filled with people she didn't know and people who made fun of her, and only her books and a phone for company. Relief came four years later, on her thirteenth birthday, in the form of her power. Rayne had been walking home from school one day when she came upon a dog delivering a litter of pups. Though she didn't know a thing about dogs, Rayne dived in to try and help; petting the dog’s head, not flinching when she was bitten. The final pup was the runt and came out without breath and without a heartbeat. She went to pick up the animal, planning on trying to clear out its airways if she could; she felt a shock run through her into the dog. The world went black and she fainted.
When she woke up a few days had passed and she was greeted with the image of two people standing above her bed; Kent and Gaia. Kent had come to take her back to his home to go to a school suited for her kind- To develop her power. After saying tearful goodbyes to Gaia, Kent whisked her off to live at his house with her brother once more. At the house awaited her new life, as well as the puppy she'd saved that Gaia had tracked down especially for her.
Everything was different once she came to live with her brother once more. Her self-restraints broke and her shy exterior faded away as she began coming out of her shell. She flourished under the knowledge that she was born to get to do something special and with Ant constantly cheering her on over her shoulder she came into the mind frame that anything was possible, no matter how improbable.
At Hammel she met the group of people that would become her best friends. It was a small circle of people, only six members of their unofficial club. But they helped Rayne get out of her shell more. She became extremely close to all of them, though closer to Liam than any others, as they bonded over their close ages and well... She’s still not sure why exactly she’s become as close to them as she has, but she’s not going to be complaining.
As time went on and graduation neared, they decided to get a house together. It seemed like a better idea than trying to separate and get apartments alone and they could have more money left over, plus carpooling. Some needed persuading to go with idea for sharing a house but it worked out in the end. Rayne chose to attend college after graduation, and after a fewweeksmonths of debating she came to the conclusion she would use her ability to the best she could and try to become a vet tech. She wasn't sure she'd be able to deal with being a full on vet, but becoming a technician was good enough. Using her sunny charm and wide smile she managed to secure a job at the local comic store as well.
Her mother, Gaia, got remarried just this spring to her "Uncle" Kent. Now he is her official Uncle (no one calls him dad) and that makes Mayu her official sister. She's quite thrilled about the newest development and the joy from seeing her mom get married, her sister get engaged, and her brother almost reaching his dream job, has made Rayne eager to get everyone else to be in a similar state of relationship bliss.Roleplay ExampleAntosha Vikenti, Mathis Reeves, Demetrius Wolfbane, Lukas Miles, Lucio and Marco Victore, Ace WalkerWhat About You?Name: Dia
