'''Education''': Graduate of [[Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters | Xavier's]], currently studying at [[Westchester College]]
+
Abandoned at the church of Reverend Craig when she was a baby, Rahne was raised and eventually adopted by the Reverend when he was unable to find a suitable home for his charge. The Reverend was at times a strict man of the cloth but one who grew to love the girl as his own.
  
−
'''Relationship Status''': Single. Occasionally pining.
+
The first ten years of Rahne’s life were pretty average, even if she led a more strict and sparser life than any of the children in Kinross. She helped Reverend Craig at the church, finding comfort in his teachings and his religion.
  
−
'''Occupation''': [[Elpis]]
+
Shy, Rahne didn’t have a lot of friends but she was incredibly close to those few she did have. When she was ten, her world would change with a rash of headaches brought on by strong smells and sounds. Reverend Craig would find himself scolding her for repeating conversations she never should have been able to hear and eventually he came to the realization that Rahne just might be showing signs of a mutant power.
  
−
'''Team Affiliation''': [[Elpis]]
+
Fearing for his adopted daughter, he moved them from Kinross to the smaller, quieter town of Durness - the town nearest the [[Muir Island Research Facility]] run by [[Moira MacTaggart]]. Rahne was told they moved there so he could take over the local parish.
  
 +
Not wanting to make Rahne fearful, the Reverend spoke quietly with Dr. MacTaggart, who gave him advice on how to minimize Rahne’s headaches without revealing that she might be a mutant. To eliminate over stimulating her senses, he started to homeschool her, leading to an even more isolated time for Rahne.
  
−
== Biography ==
+
Moira eventually befriended the girl, though remained frustrated at Reverend Craig’s unwillingness to tell Rahne what was going on. As Rahne grew older, she realized she was different but was able to mostly able to come to grips with her senses, treating them like a migraine attack when things got really bad.
  
−
=== Childhood ===
+
Everything once again changed within the last few months. The headaches increased and along with them she kept falling under what she and the Reverend thought were flu like symptoms. Fevers, chills, aches. One night during one of these ‘flu’ attacks, the Reverend heard the sounds of things breaking and being toppled over, along with weird noises, coming from Rahne’s room.
  
−
Rahne was adopted as an infant by Reverend Craig, a very strict Presbyterian minister. She knows nothing about her birth parents. She grew up very pious, very sheltered, and considerably on the shy side; she's theoretically well versed in apologetics but was never really very good at arguing. Reverend Craig despaired of getting her to debate effectively but did teach her, among other things, to cook, clean, manage money frugally, and play golf.  
+
When he rushed in, the girl had been replaced with a frightened looking wolf wearing shreds of Rahne’s nightclothes. The bedsheets had been torn to pieces and half the room had been destroyed in her complete panic. With the door open, Rahne mindlessly bolted, terrified she’d turned into a monster and might hurt the Reverend.
  
−
She manifested during the Great Headache of X2 and, due to complications involving suspected demon possession and the fear (on both sides) that she might hurt someone (or ''had'' hurt someone, considering the second headache), she ended up spending a few days in a cage before she figured out how to change back. Though both were suspicious of attributing too much power to symbols or sacred objects, Reverend Craig brought a silver cross on a chain to the cage, and Rahne was comforted by being able to touch it safely. She shifted back the next morning and usually wears the necklace.  
+
She didn’t get far, though, as she was unused to the shape she’d transformed into during her sleep and Reverend Craig found her huddled under the old van they used for church outings. Despite his own terror - having thought her mutant powers were enhanced senses, nothing more - he managed to coax her out and back into the house.
  
−
Shortly afterward, [[Dr. Moira MacTaggart]] came and suggested she be sent to Xavier's.  
+
He immediately called Moira who arrived to find Rahne more calm but still in wolf form and still decidedly upset. The doctor managed to talk Rahne down into a calmer state and, hours after her manifestation, the wolf form melted away and left a weeping girl in Moira’s arms.  
  
−
=== Living At The X-Mansion ===
+
Moira immediately suggested that the two of them pack their bags and join her on Muir. It was obvious Rahne needed to be told what was going on and with the events of January fresh in everyone’s minds, even Durness - generally more tolerant in better times - might not take well to a “werewolf” in their midst.
  
−
Arriving at Xavier's was something of a shock to Rahne, but she has recovered fairly well. She'll still squirm if she thinks about screaming when she first saw Kurt, though. (He was really nice about it and became a friend, albeit off-camera, and was at one point a crush object but she hopes he never knew that.)
+
Despite Moira’s knowledge of mutations, Muir was not the best solution. As a world renowned mutant genetics facility, it was under constant threat and Rahne, simply, was not a mutant who needed to be at a medical facility. Within a few weeks of manifesting, Moira and the Reverend approached her with the idea of having her go to school at [[The Mansion|Xavier’s]].
  
−
She was a reasonable academic success, though never at a level to compete with classmates such as [[Paige]], [[Kitty]], or [[Forge]]. Socially she was fairly quiet and occasionally awkward, though she got along well with [[Jamie]] and several others. Her relationships with [[Paige]] and [[Illyana]] eventually deteriorated, but after a somewhat awkward start she bonded with [[Amanda]] over worrying about Nathan. She always admired Dr. MacTaggart greatly, even though she wouldn't emulate some of her personal choices. She avoided getting much involved with [[Nathaniel Essex]] partly because his golf invitation was issued for Sunday morning. Her frictions with [[Monet]] as a roommate led to her spending a significant amount of time in the woods and learning to hunt and eat small game as an outlet for her frustration (and also a nice snack).  
+
Rahne, normally not an impulsive person, jumped at the chance. She was angry and upset with both the Reverend and Moira for not telling her she was a mutant and the idea of going someplace where they might be able to help her figure out her powers - of which she still had no control over and would routinely shapechange without wanting to - was a godsend.
  
−
She officially began volunteering in the Medlab in December of 2003, though she'd ended up with a few improbable wound-cleaning experiences ([[Haroun]] and [[Sarah]]) before that. She eventually progressed to volunteering at a nearby animal shelter and working as a paid kitchen helper.
+
So, Moira placed the call, suggesting to her old friend [[Charles Xavier]] that a pick up might be for the best - random shapeshifting on a commercial flight over an ocean might not be the best idea…
  
−
Rahne was a friend and a regular donor for [[Marius]] after partially intercepting his marrow-starved attack on [[Haroun]], during which they discovered he was actually pretty calm when his lunch didn't struggle. This helped lead to her invitation to help track him and his companions down after they disappeared in Europe, as she combined the useful functions of tracker, friend, medical training, and a potential marrow-meal with no catastrophe-level powers.
+
=== '''Living At The X-Mansion''' ===
  
−
===Asgard===
+
Rahne's first flight could have gone better. [[Jean Grey]], [[Rogue]], [[Miles Morales]] and [[Sooraya Qadir]] arrived to pick her up with no difficulties, but during the flight Rahne got airsick. And then she turned into a wolf. Fortunately Jean was able to calm her down and reassure her that no-one hated her, but Rahne was still embarrassed by the whole incident.
  
−
[[Asgard (plot)| Asgard]] was something of a turning point for Rahne in several ways. She was rescued from a giant by Hrimhari, prince of Asgard's wolves and alpha of their most prominent (and intelligent) pack. She was treated better than she felt her abilities would deserve due to Hrimhari's favor and, though she didn't realize this at the time, her relative youth -- these were not your average mortal wolves. She learned a great deal about body language, teamwork, and hunting with them, to the point that after her return she found New York deer a feasible solo prey -- although she has also enjoyed hunting with [[Catseye]], [[Kyle]], and [[Lockheed]], which Hrimhari would probably regard as the weirdest pack ''ever''. She was more confident afterward, but also more restless about feeling people whose authority she didn't recognize were trying to exert dominance over her.
+
Safely at the school, Rahne was placed in a room with [[Illyana Rasputin]], who confused the young Scot by being unlike anyone else she'd ever met. Fellow suite-mates, [[Maya Lincoln-Lopez]] and [[Xavin Majesdane]] weren't exactly 'normal' either, with Maya and Xavin frequently fighting and Xavin eventually moving out. It was to be expected that Rahne tended to keep her head down - between her uncontrolled shapeshifting and retiring personality, things were just <I>too</I> weird.
  
−
She also spent a great deal of time talking to Hrimhari, finding it strangely comfortable to talk to a wolf-prince in the realm of the Norse gods about such topics as morality, theology, and the eventual end of the world. Quite unintentionally, she fell in love... and at one point went into heat, though she resisted the hormonal urges: if she hadn't, she would probably still be in Asgard. With puppies. She chose instead to return with her friends to her life, education, and work at Xavier's... though she cried once, on Nathan's shoulder, for the companions and the role she'd given up.
+
And they only got weirder from there - in February 2016, Rahne discovered her halfway wolf form - part wolf, part human - when she was [[Something Slender This Way Comes | kidnapped to another dimension along with several peers]]. They were rescued, and she immediately disappeared into the woods; it ended with Sooraya coaxing her back to human. May got even weirder when Rahne discovered [[Endangered Species | that Miles was actually one of the famous Spidermen]]. The rest of the quiet year was a welcome break...
  
−
===Post-Graduation===
+
Which was of course interrupted in [[July 2017]] when [[How To Kill A Spider | a magical game released spiders into the mansion]]. Rahne took this as almost a game, however, and set out in her wolf form to hunt down everything she could. Her skills increased with use, as she was involved in several [[Generation X]] incidents through 2017 and 2018, including [[Generation X: Demon Bear|fighting a spirit bear]], [[Ready or Not|being trapped in a video game]] and [[Set Fire to the Rain| assisting Bruce Banner with field medicine]]. More seriously, she was among the group [[Tales of Magik: Imus ad Infernum|abducted to Limbo]], where she was stuck in her 'werewolf' form and forced to fight the demons that inhabited the place. At the end of the year she was trapped in a [[The Danger Room Paradox|zombie video game]] when the [[Danger Room]] malfunctioned; Rahne was bitten and held off the virus by staying in her transitional form, but it was a strain that told on the young Scot.
  
−
In May of 2006, Nathan invited her to work at [[Elpis]], which she has found very fulfilling. She's adding languages under his tutelage and has been involved in the day-to-day work of Elpis as well as a number of more unusual experiences, such as being briefly kidnapped with [[Sooraya Qadir| Sooraya]] and roaming Smichov during riots over [[The Gates]].
+
In mid-2019, Rahne assisted with tracking and taking down [[The Worthy|Skirn]], a possessed [[Susan Storm]] during [[Fear in the Dark]]. It was to be her last adventure with Generation X - early in 2020 she returned to Muir Island, to assist with looking after an aging Reverend Craig and to work with [[Moira MacTaggart]] at her research facility.

'''Other Features''': Rahne’s wolf form is far larger than that of a normal wolf (see powers for explanation) and she’ll only get bigger as she gets older.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
== '''Powers''' ==
 +
 
 +
Rahne is both a feral mutant and a shapeshifter whose only form is that of a wolf. When she’s just her human form, her senses are the only thing that are extraordinary. Sight, sound and smells are all enhanced.
 +
 
 +
Rahne’s transformation is, thankfully, painless for her and she no longer experiences the flu like symptoms that came with her original manifestation. It’s actually a fairly quick transformation, limbs changing and fur growing - she will tear apart any clothes she’s wearing at the time, much to her chagrin. The pain free aspect of her powers is thanks to her powers protecting her and she often describes the transformation as an out of body experience.
  
−
'''Other Features''': 
+
Because of the physical transformation, Rahne possesses a minor healing power. However, the focus of this “secondary” mutation is to heal her during transformation. If it’s diverted to heal something else, she’ll be stuck in whatever form she was in not only until she’s healed but also another day or so past the healing to give this power a chance to recharge.
  
 +
The physical transformation takes her human body weight and turns that into the wolf form, meaning she already outweighs that of a normal adult wolf (100 lbs is generally the top range). Her powers keep her trim and sleek, even in human form (she’ll develop a decent amount of muscle, though more along the lines of a swimmer than, say, a body builder). And shapeshifting leaves her starving, especially for things high in red meat (though, not raw, thank you very much).
  
−
==Powers==
+
In her wolf state, Rahne can’t speak but she can understand everyone quite clearly. She’s incredibly agile and fast in this state and sports sharp fangs and teeth. She has no way of knowing but real wolves will know she’s different - she simply doesn’t smell or act like a true wolf. She possesses no feral streak, either - she’s simply herself. Just furry and with four feet.
  
−
Rahne is a specific metamorph. She can turn into a wolf -- or something very like a wolf, although her vision, at least, is expanded rather than reduced-spectrum. She also has mastered transitional forms and can stop part-way through the transformation at pretty much any point, although this did not come at all naturally to her at first: she worked it out through extensive practice while visiting the children on Muir, who really liked her having fur but required her to have hands! She can therefore get a level of enhanced senses, fur, claws, etc. while still keeping a bipedal form; she can actually get somewhat enhanced senses without very conspicuous changes.  
+
Currently, she has no control over the change and will randomly transform, especially if stressed or upset. Once calm, she can eventually change herself back. Once she gains control, she’ll be able to shift whenever she wants.
  
−
Spending extended periods of time as a wolf reveals effects on her body chemistry that aren't otherwise apparent. She can survive comfortably on a diet of raw meat as a wolf, and will eventually go into heat. As a human, however, she is characteristically omnivorous and is not among the residents with a chocolate problem.  
+
Eventually, Rahne will be able to transition into a halfway form - the ‘werewolf’ aspect - between human and wolf. But that will take training and a willingness to try. The idea sounds vaguely terrifying to her right now.
  
−
She also has a moderate healing factor associated with the shapeshifting.
+
Rahne has developed an irritating and rather unfair allergy to chocolate.
  
  
−
==Equipment==
+
== '''Equipment''' ==
  
−
Xavier's-issued cell phone, Elpis-issued Laptop of Doom (could probably double as blunt weapon)
+
TBD
  
 +
== '''Trivia''' ==
  
−
==Trivia==
+
Rahne lacks the control to attend the [[Bayville Charter High|local charter school]] with her peers, so she is being home-schooled by [[Kyle Gibney]].
  
−
Rahne's social mores differ somewhat in different forms. As a wolf, she's much less physically reserved, though not to the point of putting her nose anywhere impolite. She did once lick Nathan on the cheek. To be polite, she once ate dog food when some of the smaller kids offered it to her early on. (It wasn't bad.)

Biography

Childhood

Abandoned at the church of Reverend Craig when she was a baby, Rahne was raised and eventually adopted by the Reverend when he was unable to find a suitable home for his charge. The Reverend was at times a strict man of the cloth but one who grew to love the girl as his own.

The first ten years of Rahne’s life were pretty average, even if she led a more strict and sparser life than any of the children in Kinross. She helped Reverend Craig at the church, finding comfort in his teachings and his religion.

Shy, Rahne didn’t have a lot of friends but she was incredibly close to those few she did have. When she was ten, her world would change with a rash of headaches brought on by strong smells and sounds. Reverend Craig would find himself scolding her for repeating conversations she never should have been able to hear and eventually he came to the realization that Rahne just might be showing signs of a mutant power.

Fearing for his adopted daughter, he moved them from Kinross to the smaller, quieter town of Durness - the town nearest the Muir Island Research Facility run by Moira MacTaggart. Rahne was told they moved there so he could take over the local parish.

Not wanting to make Rahne fearful, the Reverend spoke quietly with Dr. MacTaggart, who gave him advice on how to minimize Rahne’s headaches without revealing that she might be a mutant. To eliminate over stimulating her senses, he started to homeschool her, leading to an even more isolated time for Rahne.

Moira eventually befriended the girl, though remained frustrated at Reverend Craig’s unwillingness to tell Rahne what was going on. As Rahne grew older, she realized she was different but was able to mostly able to come to grips with her senses, treating them like a migraine attack when things got really bad.

Everything once again changed within the last few months. The headaches increased and along with them she kept falling under what she and the Reverend thought were flu like symptoms. Fevers, chills, aches. One night during one of these ‘flu’ attacks, the Reverend heard the sounds of things breaking and being toppled over, along with weird noises, coming from Rahne’s room.

When he rushed in, the girl had been replaced with a frightened looking wolf wearing shreds of Rahne’s nightclothes. The bedsheets had been torn to pieces and half the room had been destroyed in her complete panic. With the door open, Rahne mindlessly bolted, terrified she’d turned into a monster and might hurt the Reverend.

She didn’t get far, though, as she was unused to the shape she’d transformed into during her sleep and Reverend Craig found her huddled under the old van they used for church outings. Despite his own terror - having thought her mutant powers were enhanced senses, nothing more - he managed to coax her out and back into the house.

He immediately called Moira who arrived to find Rahne more calm but still in wolf form and still decidedly upset. The doctor managed to talk Rahne down into a calmer state and, hours after her manifestation, the wolf form melted away and left a weeping girl in Moira’s arms.

Moira immediately suggested that the two of them pack their bags and join her on Muir. It was obvious Rahne needed to be told what was going on and with the events of January fresh in everyone’s minds, even Durness - generally more tolerant in better times - might not take well to a “werewolf” in their midst.

Despite Moira’s knowledge of mutations, Muir was not the best solution. As a world renowned mutant genetics facility, it was under constant threat and Rahne, simply, was not a mutant who needed to be at a medical facility. Within a few weeks of manifesting, Moira and the Reverend approached her with the idea of having her go to school at Xavier’s.

Rahne, normally not an impulsive person, jumped at the chance. She was angry and upset with both the Reverend and Moira for not telling her she was a mutant and the idea of going someplace where they might be able to help her figure out her powers - of which she still had no control over and would routinely shapechange without wanting to - was a godsend.

So, Moira placed the call, suggesting to her old friend Charles Xavier that a pick up might be for the best - random shapeshifting on a commercial flight over an ocean might not be the best idea…

Living At The X-Mansion

Rahne's first flight could have gone better. Jean Grey, Rogue, Miles Morales and Sooraya Qadir arrived to pick her up with no difficulties, but during the flight Rahne got airsick. And then she turned into a wolf. Fortunately Jean was able to calm her down and reassure her that no-one hated her, but Rahne was still embarrassed by the whole incident.

Safely at the school, Rahne was placed in a room with Illyana Rasputin, who confused the young Scot by being unlike anyone else she'd ever met. Fellow suite-mates, Maya Lincoln-Lopez and Xavin Majesdane weren't exactly 'normal' either, with Maya and Xavin frequently fighting and Xavin eventually moving out. It was to be expected that Rahne tended to keep her head down - between her uncontrolled shapeshifting and retiring personality, things were just too weird.

And they only got weirder from there - in February 2016, Rahne discovered her halfway wolf form - part wolf, part human - when she was kidnapped to another dimension along with several peers. They were rescued, and she immediately disappeared into the woods; it ended with Sooraya coaxing her back to human. May got even weirder when Rahne discovered that Miles was actually one of the famous Spidermen. The rest of the quiet year was a welcome break...

Which was of course interrupted in July 2017 when a magical game released spiders into the mansion. Rahne took this as almost a game, however, and set out in her wolf form to hunt down everything she could. Her skills increased with use, as she was involved in several Generation X incidents through 2017 and 2018, including fighting a spirit bear, being trapped in a video game and assisting Bruce Banner with field medicine. More seriously, she was among the group abducted to Limbo, where she was stuck in her 'werewolf' form and forced to fight the demons that inhabited the place. At the end of the year she was trapped in a zombie video game when the Danger Room malfunctioned; Rahne was bitten and held off the virus by staying in her transitional form, but it was a strain that told on the young Scot.

It was to be her last adventure with Generation X - early in 2020 she returned to Muir Island, to assist with looking after an aging Reverend Craig and to work with Moira MacTaggart at her research facility.


Physical Characteristics

Height: 5 feet tall, still growing

Weight: 110 lbs

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Brown/reddish

Other Features: Rahne’s wolf form is far larger than that of a normal wolf (see powers for explanation) and she’ll only get bigger as she gets older.


Powers

Rahne is both a feral mutant and a shapeshifter whose only form is that of a wolf. When she’s just her human form, her senses are the only thing that are extraordinary. Sight, sound and smells are all enhanced.

Rahne’s transformation is, thankfully, painless for her and she no longer experiences the flu like symptoms that came with her original manifestation. It’s actually a fairly quick transformation, limbs changing and fur growing - she will tear apart any clothes she’s wearing at the time, much to her chagrin. The pain free aspect of her powers is thanks to her powers protecting her and she often describes the transformation as an out of body experience.

Because of the physical transformation, Rahne possesses a minor healing power. However, the focus of this “secondary” mutation is to heal her during transformation. If it’s diverted to heal something else, she’ll be stuck in whatever form she was in not only until she’s healed but also another day or so past the healing to give this power a chance to recharge.

The physical transformation takes her human body weight and turns that into the wolf form, meaning she already outweighs that of a normal adult wolf (100 lbs is generally the top range). Her powers keep her trim and sleek, even in human form (she’ll develop a decent amount of muscle, though more along the lines of a swimmer than, say, a body builder). And shapeshifting leaves her starving, especially for things high in red meat (though, not raw, thank you very much).

In her wolf state, Rahne can’t speak but she can understand everyone quite clearly. She’s incredibly agile and fast in this state and sports sharp fangs and teeth. She has no way of knowing but real wolves will know she’s different - she simply doesn’t smell or act like a true wolf. She possesses no feral streak, either - she’s simply herself. Just furry and with four feet.

Currently, she has no control over the change and will randomly transform, especially if stressed or upset. Once calm, she can eventually change herself back. Once she gains control, she’ll be able to shift whenever she wants.

Eventually, Rahne will be able to transition into a halfway form - the ‘werewolf’ aspect - between human and wolf. But that will take training and a willingness to try. The idea sounds vaguely terrifying to her right now.

Rahne has developed an irritating and rather unfair allergy to chocolate.


Equipment

TBD

Trivia

Rahne lacks the control to attend the local charter school with her peers, so she is being home-schooled by Kyle Gibney.

Meta Trivia

This is the second version of Rahne, the previous version having been played by Persephone Kore. Jen apped her as a P2 character in 2015 and played her until January 2020 when RL demands meant she had to release Rahne back into the wild.
