In Brief
Rapine is a psychopathic criminal who came across a magical artifact known as the "Chains of Cerberus". Since the start of his criminal career at the age of 11, he has claimed in excess of 200 lives. He only recently arrived in Paragon, but finds the prey here much more interesting. Recently he has taken an interest in the hero known as Atlas Angel.
Youth
At a young age Jimmy Davis showed signs of a troubled mindset. His frequent abuse of family pets and local children worried his parents. Contacting various specialists, Jimmy was placed with special needs children and considered highly aggressive and lacking emotion. Eventually, placed on a concoction of medication, doctors considered him capable of joining the rest of his family and released him to his parents at the age of 8. Shortly after, Jimmy's father lost his job at the factory and turned to alcohol to forget his problems. His parents then entered into a long period of both mental and physical abuse, which in turn fell onto the children in the family. Jimmy often was beaten by his father and verbally abused by his mother. Eventually, Jimmy stopped taking his medication which allowed him to feel emotions, wanting to blot out the pain of his life. At the age of 11, a massive fire claimed the tenement complex his family lived in. 62 died that night with just one survivor; Jimmy Davis.
The Beast Awakens...
Jimmy disappeared after reaching the age of 18 and wasn't heard from again until he was arrested for the murder of over 102 people that were found buried under the shack he lived in off a major highway. Both the police, FBI and the ATF couldn't stop him, so the Backstreet Brawler was called in to apprehend him. After a short conflict, Jimmy, now calling himself Rapine, was turned over to the only facility capable of containing someone of Jimmy's power; the Zig. Once within the walls of the Zig, Jimmy started ploting his escape...
Escape
Arachnos wished to utilize Rapine and hatched an elaborate escape plan; which succeeded. Brought to the Isles, Rapine was offered a position in Arachnos...at which point he promptly killed the agent and escaped into the streets of Port Oakes.
As of Late
Rapine has taken to waylaying Arachnos agents for equipment and the fun of it. Bonded as he is to the Chains of Cerberus, he has found new abilities surfacing recently turning him more animalistic in nature. Last noted was his hiring out to private organizations for bounties. Crey industries has recently shown an interest in hiring him for some payback for Next Gen...
Battling multiple members of Next Gen, Rapine gained an interest in Atlas Angel, a young member of Next Gen's "Gen High" program. Kept in solitary security in the Zigg, Rapine was recently freed by the machinations of La Belle Noir. During the event known as "Hostile Takeover", the two of them assaulted Atlas Angel who had her wing broken by Rapine. During the fight, she was offered an opportunity for information on her past...
Utilized as a weapon for La Belle Noir, Rapine was turned to use on a variety of projects that didn't fuel the killer inside him well. Belle redressed him and had him mixing with higher society as her personal bodyguard. Off on a hired job, Miss Mindbender spoke to him and offered to free him for her own use. Making him immune to telepathic and empathic suggestions, he agreed and ambushed Belle that same evening. He toyed with her for an entire evening, hurting her in a variety of ways until bored with her, he killed her.
Back to his old games, he now seeks Atlas Angel again and is currently watching The Gen Tower for any activity...
Equipment
The Chains of Cerberus: weighing approximately 42lbs., Jimmy found the chains in a collapsed cavern in the woods. According to him, the chains "spoke to him". Without a doubt, wrapped in ancient magics, the chains added to Jimmy's own internal demons. The only known facts on the chains are as follows:
*They are ancient; at least four thousand years old.
*According to experts on mythology, the chains were utilized to contain the demon known as Cerberus.
*The chains, once bonded to a soul, are forever linked until the individual is destroyed.
*The chains themselves provide the bearer with near impervious durability and the ability to generate massive
amounts of flame and heat from there epidermis.
*Rapine has shown a continued evolution to something more feral ever since donning the chains. It has been
suggested that he possibly is possessed by the demon Cerberus.
Sledgehammer: Rapine has taken to carrying a sledgehammer with him for blunt attacks.
