Rainchild

The moniker, rainchild, was one given to her by the residents of king's row after she made her premier in 2010 as a hero. weather manipulation came natural for the asurian born female, who combines it with the siren-like voice that she is able to project and amplify to work against her foes. her rise to popularity was due to the amount of activity that she puts a halt to. it didn't take long for her efforts to spread throughout paragon city as she encountered different challenges with the myriad of villain groups that continue to breed in this city of heroes.

Asurians are embodied with energy flowing through their vessels, a gift from the Creator. though the Light itself washes over the land of asuria and blesses its people , the elemental gifts of these individuals that make them unique. with the many tribes on the planet, guardians are chosen by birth-righ, or by passage, to guide their people as leaders among them.

Alluren'eha ( Alluren ) was born into Guardianship, the glyphs upon her person indicated her as the next leader, letting her father step down to train her. her destiny was already written in the stars, her duties were laid out before her - but even at a young age, alluren rebelled against the idea of having her life charted out without having a say in it. the first few years were tumultuous for the tribe, for they knew that alluren was worthy of harboring the gift, though depending on her was a different matter. she lacked the focus and desire to be the leader she was born to become, and before her parents realized it, her mind was set on a different life goal. she wanted to be a part of something greater than a guardian.

alluren's wish was to become a Sentinel.

at first, she was not allowed to participate in the tests and was banned from attending the ceremonies. it wasn't until she saw that their Lightkeeper had taken the mantle that she was determined to defy her own parents at the chance of fulfilling her desire. her parents found her need to become part of the galactic council selfish, despite her role in protecting not only the good of their people, but to other species beyond their own galaxy. the second time she tested, they warned her that if she failed to be a recruit, she would have to agree to remain in asuria and comply to the role of guardianship. if she were to succeed, they would not utter a complaint and allow her the freedom she so eagerly wanted. needless to say, that alluren'eha trained herself in controlling her gifts throughout the months leading to the council's recruitment. the trials proved to be arduous, but sentinel alluren'eha was born, much to the shame of her parents.

With the myriad of galaxies out there, the Sentinels are kept busy trying to keep order among the stars beyond the reaches of the milky way. alluren has come across dying worlds, races nearing extinction, and has done everything and anything the sentinels are capable of to help the species find survival elsewhere. from wars, trade and tariffs interventions to simple humanitarian activities, she and her team members performed to the extent of their abilities. when learning that she would have to be on assignment ( for an extended period of time ) on sector a-14a, the milky way, she was at first unsure as to why they would place her in a backwater galaxy where it only had one planet with sentient creatures. she had soon come to learn of the Rikti and their involvement with the planet, why she and another sentinel, the lightkeeper, were placed here under strict orders to cooperate with the vanguard in riding this world of these invaders.


portal corp worked to establish meetings between the sentinels and the vanguard, who were wary about the aliens offering help to eradicate the rikti, though after looking over the reports and credibility, they were accepted among the vanguard as honorary members during their stay. they were provided with armaments similar to their own, blending them in with their operatives. the rikti war was not far from over of course, even if she was not present during such crucial times - with the help of the sentinel, they were able to come to understand the technology that was offered by the alien race that was still lingering on their planet. not only did humanity benefit from this, unfortunately the criminals found ways to utilize such use of rikti mechanics. alluren spent several evenings learning of their strategies and attacking the mothership located in now to cull their numbers. in due time she started to explore the city itself as the rikti began to invade several sectors.


it was then that she became familiar with the civilian life past the war zone and portal corp. heroes were spread about helping citizens from the abuse from hoodlums to conjurers of the arcane. traveling in the downtrodden zone, known as king's row, alluren has been spending time cleaning up the area that seemed infested with criminal activity. by using the gift of weather control (considering this atmosphere was easier to manipulate), she was able to bring crime down fourty percent in a few months. the civilians have become familiar with the uniform of yellow and blue. due to her performance, they have nicknamed her the child of the rain, a few years later on it changed to rainchild due to its simplicity. the name grew on her, and before she knew it, she was not only fighting off the rikti but taking care of patrolling king's row and its neighboring sections. she has also been seen working alongside the sentinel lightkeeper, ensuring safety is consistent in paragon city.

What rainchild lacked in physical strength was made up in the flow of her energy and how it affected the atmosphere around her. the ambient was her weapon which required all of her concentration in order to cease control and shape it to her will. in different alien ecosystems, alluren had to modify the use of her gift depending on what is available, here on earth however, manipulating the planetary atmosphere was simple and she was able to create phenomenons without a second thought. she knows how to shape wind currents, generate lighting and bring down hail where the skies were once clear. she can easily feel the barometric pressures shift around her and can detect incoming weather anomalies.

Freezing Rain
more effective outdoors, she drops the temperature of the air near the surface to freezing conditions, turning the ground underneath her into a skating rink once the rain crystallizes into ice.

Hurricane
the cyclonic storm is devastating on a grandeur scale, though she doesn't conjure one to envelope the entire state of Rhode Island, she compresses the storm into a smaller version and becomes the core of it. surrounded by terrible winds, she can wreak havoc in a small area and repel any who dares to near her vicinity.

Tornado
nothing is more frightening than a clear, cloud-less day turning nearly black at the sight of spiraling clouds coming down to touch ground - decimating anything in its path - and being under the control of another. rainchild creates a smaller variation that wouldn't send you to the land of Oz, but with a sweep of her arm, the winds create a funnel, whose base kicks up debris to distract her foes, leaving them at the mercy of being gathered up and tossed a great distance away.

Lightning Storm

cloud-to-ground lightning is best effective out-doors. though within a building, she creates a cloud that spreads over the ceiling of the facility and rains down the wrath of lightning down to her foes. she channels the electricity through her form, given off by the ominous thundercloud, and unleashes it with a physical attack.

Mist
gathering the droplets of water in the air, rainchild creates a large radius of mist to conceal herself and her allies within. since mist causes beams of light to be visible, she bends light using her control of mist to make herself, and others, partially invisible.

O2 Boost
With a gentle, small gust of pure oxygen, she invigorates others with the refreshing boost of energy. sources say that it helps alleviates wounds, though too much is toxic for terrans.

Snow Storm
cooling down the temperature around her specific target, rainchild brings down a chill that leaves them moving as slow as molasses. their bodies wish to shut down though they desperately try to move to create some warmth to flow through them. this gives her the advantage of attack, since they, and any foes in the same vicinity, are slowed down drastically.

the usual spandex and tights, worn by several super-heroes, was appealing to the asurian who attempted to understand the fashion sense of terrans. Mimicking the similar style of the Lightkeeper, rainchild wears a one piece without the aid of a tights. her upper torso is completely concealed, hiding away the glyphs from being viewed. though it doesn't provide much protection, Rainchild doesn't usually involve herself in physical combat and takes to the air instead. it has been rumored that her costume has caused more distraction than intimidation, thus keeping the attention of her enemy on what she has on her person and not on the hot, lightning strike, coming down from the heavens. accompanied by a black boots and gloves, the ensemble is simple and easy on the eyes.




a sentinel would be incomplete without the proper uniform representing their team. the material responds to the user, it shifts with them, becomes a second skin that possesses the strength to protect them. it covers them with the strength of a diamond's exterior, but appears to look like silicon fabric. though one notices that there is no zipper, no button to secure it. the uniform can slip from her frame like liquid by activating shocks from her belt, causing the molecules to break apart, thus the suit itself looks to be fading from view though its being drawn back to the belt's many compartments. the technology for their uniforms made suiting up efficient. rainchild chose to accompany this piece with a helmet and a neck brace. the helmet has several visions: ultraviolet vision, infrared vision and night vision. there is an internal-commlink to keep discussions with her team-mates and has a private channel for the council members.


of course, she had to get accustomed to the clothing that was required for the people on this region of Earth. it was rather taboo to wear asurian garments considering that it was very light ( sheer ) and inappropriate for a civilian. because lack of monetary funds, considering everything she needs is provided by the council, a few of the portal corp employees have taken a liking to playing dress up with alluren. because of her body's shape, they can fit her into most trendy outfits. though she never did fancy herself to enjoy such antics, she does attempt to blend in with the crowd when she is not patrolling. the glyphs are kept from view, though their glow is prominent underneath her attire when in certain situations.
