Powers
+
Lunar Manipulation: = Rain can bend lunar energy to her will, though there are many other aspects of lunar manipulation so far she can only absorb and manipulate the energy/light of the moon into offensive abilities.
Concussion Beams: Release beams of solidified lunar energy/substances.
Formulated Lunar Blasts: Release blasts of lunar energy/substances in a form of a creature or object. (Often a wolf)
Lunar spheres: Create spheres of lunar energy that can fly around independently and act as a harmless decoration or light source. If more focus and time is put into them they can be charged enough to be used as a thrown weapon that explodes on impact.
Zap: A tiny short release of lunar energy/substances to cause pain or discomfort, usually too low-powered to be destructive.

Werewolf Physiology =
Rain
cannot change into a full werewolf unless the moon is full. She can pull through traits of her inner wolf into her human form however. Her jaw muscles strengthen and expand to make room for her top and bottom fangs to elongate and strengthen. She can also manipulate her vocal chords to imitate animal noises, such as roaring, growling and howling.
Generic power breakdown:
Retractable claws
Heightened Senses: Werewolves can smell, see and hear far better than humans.
Accelerated Healing: Werewolves heal quickly from most injuries.
Enhanced Agility: Werewolves can jump, run, climb and react faster than humans.
Enhanced Strength: Werewolves are much stronger than humans.
Pain Transference: Werewolves can absorb and alleviate pain from other people/creatures and can "heal" in some cases.
Memory Transference: Werewolves can transfer (give or take) memories by inserting claws into the nape of an individual's neck. This ability can also allow direct "mind to mind' communication.
Alpha pulse: - Alpha's can discharge their presence in a pulse. It triggers something in a Beta or Omega's brain that makes them want to submit regardless of how they're feeling or what they're doing. This can effect other species if they are naturally very submissive.
Space Heater: - Following the tradition that 'were's run hot' Rain's normal body temperature is higher than that of a human's. She's warm to the touch and copes well in colder climates. She is capable of altering her body temperature either bringing her temperature down a few degrees or bumping it up, though doing so requires effort and concentration.
Weaknesses
- WolfsBane = The effects of Wolfsbane vary depending on the type, amount and delivery method. It can cause hallucinations, weaken, render unconscious or kill werewolves.
- Full Moon = On the full moon Rain is forced into her werewolf form whether she wants to or not, during this time she is inflicted with a feral mind. Although she is unable to control her body at this time, she is aware of what it is doing and remembers every detail once she returns to her human form.
- Pack Mentality: = Rain believes everyone should work within a pack mentality, there should be a well rounded structure to how they work with an obvious chain of command. Because of this she doesn't understand nor like selfish individuals or people out for themselves and can struggle in social situations.
- Mortal instrument: = Despite living longer than most species, werewolves are far from immortal. Rain can still be killed by normal means such as decapitation, starvation etc.
- Electricity: = The steady application of low amperage or an irregularly high voltage jolt of electricity will keep werewolves weak and in full human form. If amped enough it has the potential of killing them unless they have the spark of an alpha.
- New Moon: = Rain can use her lunar powers during the day, providing that she has absorbed the moons rays the night before, like a solar lunar panel. On the night of the new moon she is unable to recharge meaning her powers will either be significantly weaker or non existent the next day. Note: If she is cut off from the moon by imprisonment or something similar and isn't able to soak in the moons rays her powers will weaken or she won't be able to use them.
- Space Heater: = Rain struggles to cope in hot places, considering her internal temperature is already fairly high and she can't cool down like a human. Not only does she have a lower than average amount of sweat glands, the thermostat in her brain is wired to react immediately to a drop in internal temperature and is far more forgiving on a rise, her internal temperature would need to climb 4 1/2 degrees before her cooling system kicks in. She wouldn't be at risk of overheating just yet but she'd be rather uncomfortable. The only way she can cool herself down before this is by finding external cold sources, panting like a canine or putting all of her focus into cooling her body temperature down.
Personality:
Rain is a generally calm person, she doesn't like confrontation but easily takes it in her stride. Despite her bestial origins she is a fairly patient person and has trained herself to take a lot of jip without reacting in a negative way . She does have triggers like everyone else but she tries to keep them well guarded. She's wise and strategic, able to perceptively find loopholes in table top organisation or out in the field.
She isn't fond of beating things around the bush, she prefers to be honest and upfront with people whether it hurts them or not. She has a slight heroic drive, but isn't as open minded about it, she'll do what she can but won't always push herself unless its someone whom she considers to be within her pack or someone she cares deeply for.
Rain is used to living a certain way, she's used to being relied on and being under the constant burden of responsibility, this can make her come across as a bit of a bore to other people. She has become a bit of a workaholic and is in need of a reminder of what its like to let go and have fun.
It should be noted that Rain isn't as well versed in interaction with people outside of her pack, as her species has grown independent from the world they have developed more efficient ways of communicating. Often through their body language and scent, for example, its difficult to lie to a werewolf because they can detect the increase and decrease in a persons pulse.
Background:
The biggest misconception of the werewolves is that they are nothing more than mindless beasts, feral to their core.
Werewolves are in fact divided into many different species and cultures, most of which are far more sophisticated then they are given credit for. Rain hails from a pack of mountain dwellers living on the outskirts of civilisation, though in the past they have stayed hidden away, living independently from the rest of society. Her packs alpha and father Esbjorn has been working hard to encourage his brethren to look outside of their tight knit communities and consider making contact with outsiders.
Rain was born and raised up in the mountainous range of Rúnboreal away from civilisation. She has spent her entire life in this region, living within her pack. When she turned sixteen she took the rite of maturity as is customary of her people, during this time it was hit or miss as to whether she was going to survive. The risk for females taking the rite is significantly higher than males, they struggle to control their wolves as they tend to be far more violent than males.
Being the current alphas daughter a lot is expected of her, as her people have grown and adapted to the world around them, they have introduced new customs to run alongside the old ones. Often discarding the more barbaric customs, one of these is the crowning of new alphas. Whereas before any werewolf could try to dethrone their alpha if they so wished be this through cut-throat or honourable means, now alphas must choose a descendant. Rain is her fathers chosen descendant which is both an honour and a burden.
When she was sixteen she came across a rather influential werewolf, Piper, at the annual meeting of the packs. The two hit it off instantly, Piper was new, rebellious and...free, unlike Rain herself. It was during this time the young werewolf came to terms with her sexuality and began a dangerous affair with the other woman. Unfortunately, the werewolves haven't embraced everything the modern world has to offer them, for example homosexuality is forbidden within their culture. Two years into their touch and go relationship Rain and Piper made a mistake and were caught out, this resulted in Piper being executed. To set her on the path of redemption the pack demanded that Piper's life was ended by Rain's hand.
Rain has spent the last year grieving for the loss of her mate and attempting to make up for her 'mistake'. With her father nearing the end of his time, she is still expected to take over as his predecessor but has a long way to go if she is to regain the trust of her pack. Despite knowing this Rain has been struggling to live up to the packs demands. With the insightful help of Mercedes Clueman, an old friend of Esbjorn, the decision was made to send Rain to Athalia Academy. Being of the persuasive sort, Mercy was able to talk Esbjorn around to the decision assuring him time away from her pack would help her heal and take the first step towards integrating the packs back into society. Though Mercy hasn't yet returned to the academy, she is responsible for getting Rain there and is listed as an emergency contact should it be needed. Rain had little to no objections about going away to the academy, though it'd be safe to say she's both concerned and excited for what's to come.
Other: - Sorry boys, Rain is gay. She is very open about her sexuality away from her pack, her superiors believe it is just a phase she is going through. They do not mind her having 'flings' but they won't accept her imprinting on an outsider or a female.
- She can play the piano and is very efficient with a bow, she was taught archery by Mercedes Clueman who is also listed as her emergency contact whilst she attends the academy.
-Rain always wears a long chain necklace with a
fang shaped vial. The vial contains a sample of her own blood taken during her coming of age ceremony, it is a symbol of her maturity among her people.
- Rain is a direct descendant of the 'first' or 'father' werewolf of her people. Whom came to be after stealing a magical wolf-skin cloak from the pair Sigmund and Sinfjotli and drinking the blood of Fenrir before the tenth day, binding his spirit with that of the monstrous wolf.
