Basic Information
Name:Raina Eavan O'Speedwagon
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: Raina is Caucasian with very fair skin inherited from her Irish ancestry. Her hair is shoulder length, and while being considered brown, has a tinge of red to it. She stands at a petite 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs a mere 110 lbs. She has a petite but well formed frame, however this is often hidden under baggy sweatshirts and loose fitting jeans. She is also loathe to be seen without her headphones either over her ears or hanging around her neck.
Skills/Talents:Raina is a fairly talented musician, capable of playing a variety of instruments ranging from the piano, to the guitar, to the flute. Her singing is also usually well recieved, she doesn't get boo'd off the stage at karaoke at the very least. On the more physical aspect, she is in considerably above average shape, going for extended runs most every day and exercising every morning to stay fit.
Brief Backstory:Raina was born a second generation American, as her paternal grandfather immigrated over from Ireland during his younger years. That said, her accent is nigh on negligible, carrying just a hint at her ancestry in her voice. Her parents were both normal, not developing any manner of power, but they still they were accepting of Raina when she began to develop her own.
Her own power developed fairly young in life. She was at a piano recital at the age of 8 when her own power manifested in such a way that well. . . ruined the performance.
Raina's family ran. The moved to a new city and hid her power. That said, they didn't stifle Raina herself from developing. She continued music lessons all through her young life, but developed her power in secret. Luckily for her, unless she willed it to be so, her own power would not manifest in the most obvious of ways. To be honest, her life developed in a pretty normal way, with the exception of the whole becoming a meta-human thing. Her parents raised her to respect human life, and to take care of herself. As such, she is a serious person that works hard. She is living on her own in New Rivière City as a dealer and bartender at a casino in town.
When she moved to this new town, she first met up with some friends of her parents, and their foster daughter. This daughter was a bit of a troublemaker, but it soon became habit for Raina to just look after her like a little sister. A couple years after moving to New Rivière City, she got words that both of her parents had passed in a car accident with a drunk driver back in their home town. With no strings holding her to her past life, she is living each day free.
Power Information
Power Class: Elemental (Energy)
Power:Raina's power is that of control over vibration. This manifests itself in a myriad of different ways. One such way is weaponizing sound waves as a physical force of varying intensity based on how much power she exerts on it as well as the strength of the original sound wave. For example, should she clap with maximum force, and focus wholly on that wave, she can exert the force of a full body tackle on her target. Another use would be a form of echolocation. While whistling for example, the sound waves scout out the area around her and return to reveal the layout of the nearby area. She can cancel out other sounds through a usage of dissonance in the sound, creating a vacuum of sorts for all sound in an area, as well as vibrate her own molecules, allowing her to transmit more energy through contact that say, a normal punch. This also allows her to transmit force through objects, arriving at her target without damaging the medium in between.
Limits:The main weakness of Raina's power is that of dispersing energy. Her own power can only hold the vibrating molecules together for so long before the energy contained within disperses. Her sound wave attacks only go for 10 to 15 meters before dispersing. While her echolocation is not so, she can still only search for a defined amount of space. This may change as her power gets stronger, but as of now, she cannot keep the waves together indefinitely.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:The years of playing with sound waves have made Raina's own hearing rather sensitive to loud noises. While she copes with that, and it has even helped her music, it is still a weakness nonetheless. Her power also does not make her any less vulnerable to damage than any normal human.
Relationships
Family: None living.
Dynamics: {Janet “Fruso” Ciante} | {Good} | {Friend)} | {"She may be a bit annoying, but it is pretty nice to have someone around in this town. Honestly, I would probably be pretty lonely if she decided she didn't want to keep bothering me anymore." } |
{Bleu} | {Neutral} | {Friend} | {"I guess he's a pretty nice guy, but he can get pretty annoying at times. I can't even remember the amount of times I've had to bail him out of trouble. One day, I might not be there to help him. . . "} |
