Alignment: Neutral Good
Personality: Rory is one of those people that are always fun to be around. Rory is always coming up with jokes and helping others out. They are always down to try new things, always trying to expand their horizons. As such Rory can be a great friend, a person truly pleasant to be around.
However, sometimes Rory can act without thinking, rushing into things. This has got them into trouble in the past, like when they tried weed at school. However this does not extend to relationships as Rory has never had an interest in having one. While they don’t know it right now, Rory is asexual and aromantic. Their mind is kind of a mess as Rory has begun to develop an anxiety disorder, finding being around people to be getting harder.
Rory very much wants to be a superhero, having been raised on stories of the Avengers from their father Hugo. In their mind there is no other use for superpowers than to be a hero, so much so that Rory is determined to join the Avengers. Right now they haven’t really gotten into a real fight, so Rory is unsure of how they would actually react to danger.

How did you discover your powers: Most Dire Wraiths are born with the ability to shape-shift, but Rory’s abilities were locked by magic. However, after the incident in Washington D.C. this lock was partially released. By a year after the incident, Rory was in an orphanage when their eyes changed color. This event was shrugged off, until Rory changed their skin color to blue.
After that Rory would be sent to an orphanage for powered children where their powers would continue manifest, his height, weight, and overall appearance changing randomly. It wouldn’t be until after they were adopted that Rory would begin to control their powers.
General History: Millions of years ago a group of Skrulls were experimented on by Celestials, transforming them into Eternals and Deviants. A group of these Deviant Skrulls, ones who use magic, were chased off the Skrull home world, fleeing to a forbidden part of space called the Dark Nebula. Taking the name Dire Wraiths, they would settle on a planet they would call Wraithworld.
After a failed war of expansion against the nearby system of Galador, the Dire Wraiths would begin a different means of expansion. They began using newborn Dire Wraiths to replace children of prominent people on various other planets. One of these planets was Earth, where an unnamed Dire Wraith child would be sent to replace the son of American Senator named Brent Riggs.
The child, now named Richard Riggs, was enchanted with magic that would keep them in a human form until he came of age, as well as having his mission imprinted on his mind with magic as well. So Richard would be raised in Washington D.C. never wanting for anything. However, at the age of three, an otherworldly monster would attack the capital, the current Sorcerer Supreme coming to fight it. The battle would end in a massive blast of magic that heavily damaged the capital.
Both of Richard’s parents would be killed in the blast, but the toddler would somehow survive. However, the massive discharge of magic would damage the enchantment on Richard, weakening their lock on shape-shifting and removing the programming from their mind. With no extended family to speak of, Richard would be placed in an orphanage.
Within a year, Richard’s powers began to manifest. They were quickly placed in a special orphanage for children with superpowers. Initially there would be no interest in adopting Richard, as most parents didn’t want to deal with a kid with powers. But then the recently married couple of Hugo Serrano, a tech specialist who helps the Avengers, and Liam Moore, a scientist who studies superpowers, came to the orphanage. Looking to help children with powers, they would immediately adopt Richard.
Now with the last name Serrano-Moore, Richard would be raised in a loving home. Under the tutelage of both fathers, Richard would come to understand their powers better, Liam believing them to be a mutant. By the age of seven, Richard’s parents would adopt another powered child, his sister Claire. The young girl had the ability to see in every possible spectrum. Richard would use what they learned to help his struggling sister.
Richard and Claire would be close, almost being inseparable. As Richard got older, they would begin to dabble in video game development, finding themselves to be a great artist. Along with some of his friends at school, Richard would work on a basic game, eventually releasing it on the app store. This would prompt Richard to want to pursue graphic design at school.
It was also during this period that Richard found that they didn’t feel much like a boy, but conversely wasn’t a girl. Meetings with a counselor would help Richard figure that they were non-binary. After coming out to their family, Richard would legally change their name to Rory. At this point Liam and Hugo adopted another mutant child, a boy named Victor who could spit balls of energy.
Rory would then discover that their power was simply changing their features, but they could also morph their body parts into weapons. Rory would then begin Tae Kwon Do lessons in an attempt to master their body. But that wouldn’t be enough, as Rory would want to explore their powers more. They floated the idea of attending a superhero school. It took some convincing, but eventually his parents agreed. Using his previous connection with the Avengers, Hugo would help get their child into the Margaret Carter Institute. Rory would then be placed as a member of Excelsior.
Proposed Arc:- Rory discovers that they are not a mutant, in fact they are an alien. Wanting to learn more about their people, Rory would seek them out, only to learn that there are other Dire Wraiths on Earth, ones still with their programming in tact.
- In a year’s time, Rory’s sister Claire will be old enough to attend the Academy. Of course she decides to follow after her older sibling, getting in as well. Now Rory has to deal with their younger sister being around, as they are super protective of her.
- Rory gets stuck in a transformed state, having to deal with that being their appearance for the time being.
