Arriving at The Crossroads fairly recently, Raine must figure out what to do...

Profile

A boy of mystery, Raine travels the various worlds, with seemingly little in the way of a purpose. He simply drifts along only acting on the whims of his evil sword; Laevateiin. Raine is not a hero. Yet, he is also not a villain. He does what he sees fit as the situation calls. He has no care for the struggles of good versus evil, or light and darkness. None of that matters to him. All Raine seems to care about is living past the next day and finding a place for himself to belong. A purpose for himself to undertake. A meaning for this cursed existence. Yet, such a thing hardly seems to exist for him.

Skills

Dark is not evil ...Or maybe it is, Definitely not the main character, Annoying Talking Sword, Way too flashy moves, Nice eye. Where can I get one?, Totally not being duped, Made a deal with the devil, I am a being of solitude, Appearances mean everything, Cake? Where!?

Abilities

Swordplay: In his previous years, Raine threw himself into the art of swordplay wholeheartedly as a way to distract himself from life. The result is that he has become a rather capable swordsman. Even if he were to somehow be separated from Laevateiin; a feat that is not without challenge, Raine will still prove to be more than a capable opponent. Employing a style of swordplay that he has made his own, Raine combines flair with functionality.

Parkour: Nothing is more uplifting than running. Running and using the world as your playground. Everything in his path is an obstacle to be overcome. Gates, fences, walls, rooftops, railings, you name it, he'll scale it. Or try anyway.

Strong Will: Laevateiin is constantly prattling on in Raine's head, attempting to coerce him into doing dark deeds, to give himself over completely. Raine refuses to have any of it and has so far, not given in. His will has proven to be nigh unshakable thus far, but the future is unknown. Who knows what will assail him before long?

Weapon Summoner: Raine has the ability to store and project Laevateiin at will. When this is done however, Laevateiin's presence leaves his mind and becomes capable of speech outside and inside of his mental space. A double edged sword to be sure.

Darkness: Raine himself is not a true master or source of darkness. However Laevateiin is. It is through Laevateiin that Raine channels these powers. Though the entity's strength is not what it used to be. Raine utilizes Darkness in combat rather heavily as well as using dark portals to travel.

Relationships

Allies

Laevateiin	"Stupid talking sword. But still, he's the best chance I've got at finding those damn Apostles and... Well anyway, I just wish he'd shut up now and then."
Lumeria	"Looks like we're gonna be working together for a while. Try not to fall too far behind, okay? Heh heh..."

Adversaries

????	"No enemies to speak of. Less trouble for me."

Acquaintances

Name	Thoughts
Avira	"As I figured, she expects a favor. Just continue to play dumb and maybe she'll forget all about it. Maybe."
Aerith	"Laevateiin thinks she could be useful. I don't. We agree to disagree."
Souji Murasame	"Seems like the kind of guy who goes straight to the point. No messing around. Knows exactly what he wants too. I guess I can respect that. Something's off about him though."
Chita	"Some rabbit dude. Entirely too open with his intentions. I guess that's a blessing and a curse at the same time. Heh."
