Rayne is a girl of tougher complexion. She has a determined look about her, a glint in her blue eyes that shows her expression well. She looks as though she is ready to take on the world. Her hair has a fair length, stretching down to her mid-back area. The front and top of her hair is usually unkempt given her main form of travel. It has a lighter black color, almost ashen. This is accompanied by a blue highlight which touches the front right of her hair. With her tough and determined expression she has worked hard to be proud of her body. Despite her young age she is quite fit having spent most of her days as a successful track star, at least at the different schools she attended.

When it comes to attire, she usually is in a skirt or shorts and simple top accompanied with a jacket. When working out, which is more often than not, she is in gym shorts and then…the same simple top with a lighter, hooded jacket. She is nearly always in running shoes, regardless of the activity. The only other accessory she carries is a pair of flight goggles, given to her by a close friend, which she will wear loosely around her neck or on her forehead. The goggles have a small rainbow-colored cloud insignia on the band of it.

For her attire her outfit doesn’t change all that much. She will usually still wear a dark blue skirt, under which she’ll where leggings. As normal, she’ll be wearing a light-blue jacket, a bit heavier and dawning a hood, and under this a white tee-shirt. She’ll also wear a pair of black gloves, both holding a lightning emblem on the outer face of them. When not riding her cloud, several parts of her body including her arms, back, and parts of her chest will be covered in a thin, white, poofy cloud.


Being the only girl of six kids Rayne is a bit of a tomboy. Further, she has developed quite the bit of a competitive streak, especially with her siblings or other heroes. She’s always trying to go out of her way to prove herself, sometimes to a fault. Despite her competitiveness, she is a dependable friend, there when she is needed, always doing her best to support those around her. She can be a bit crude in her humor and insults, to which she has no fear displaying, a true sign of that fearless persona she has worked so hard to build. Whether she really feels that way is something that could not be determined upon first glance though.


Since the beginning of her life Rayne has been surrounded by boys. Her mother had passed away a year after her birth and she never really had a mother figure. It was just her, her five brothers, and their dad. Her dad had done his best to give her a normal life, one where she could be herself. However, being surrounded by her brothers, being bullied a bit by them, she had grown to be tougher than some of her classmates. Eventually, she learned how to fight back against her older brothers and show them that she wasn’t gonna get bossed around. This tough persona would help define her life going forward.

As a tougher kid she often got into scraps with other kids. If the other kids brought back up, she would bring her brothers and they would beat those kids into next week. Though, this in turn often sent her to office a lot. It wasn’t until her high school days that she broke out of this fighting phase. She had always done sports with her brothers and dad, but never at the school. She eventually fell into the basketball team, and then the track team. While basketball wasn’t her thing, she was soon promoted to be the leader of the track team, the youngest the school had ever had. On this team she had built up a lot of positive bonds with the other students, making new friends and exiting her once violent lifestyle.

Her life would take a different course in her junior year of high school. While jogging through the woods one day she had tripped down a small hill and landed near a hatch door. Being curious, she delved down below and found a small lab. Venturing further into the lab she found a large chamber, which, upon entering, blasted her with a strange energy. She had passed out for a day or so and when she awoke, she found herself surrounded by a cloud. She had full control of it and made it rain, which in turn damaged the chamber which had given her those abilities.

With her newfound powers she wasn’t sure what to do until one day she was saved by an up and coming hero, Rabbit Punch. From that point on she dedicated herself to becoming a hero. She trained hard to better control her powers and eventually moved to the city to fight crime. To this day, she trains to be a hero worth acknowledgement, someone the people can look up to and respect.

Personal Cloud: Rayne can create a cloud-like substance about the size of a quad, able to fit two to three people on it.. This cloud-substance is capable of creating any form of weather from rain, to snow, to sleet, to lightning and thunder, regardless of the surrounding weather. While appearing to be a cloud and be able to create weather, this substance does appear to be in the solid state of matter, at least to some degree. Rayne can ride atop of the cloud and able to achieve flight reaching a peak speed of about 500 knots. The cloud can lose this solid state and have things fall through it.
---Feature: Reduced Power: While being used as armor or as torn off, segmented bits, the cloud’s weather is less potent and will travel at a reduced speed. When using the wings Rayne can only go up to about 80 to 100mph. If she tears and throws smaller bits of the cloud those bits are only able to move up to 30 to 40mph.

Cloud Control: Rayne, while being able to create this cloud, she is also able to control it. She can pilot it expertly and even manipulate it to have it work as armor to some degree. She can even use it to form wings on her back, which, while slower than riding it and limits the direction of the weather produced, provides her with better maneuverability. Even while in this state, both as armor and as wings, the cloud can still produce weather effects, which has improved accuracy, though decreased range and power. She can also tear off parts of the cloud and throw them, able to control piece individually.

Cloud Cushion: Because the cloud isn’t exactly a liquid/gas, the cloud, while covering her, provides Rayne with some protection. The cloud is able to cushion and absorb most blunt force strikes, as well as slowing down projectiles or redirecting them.


Wat-are you talking about: Nimbus is unable to create or control her cloud while submerged in water. While the cloud can float on the water if it is pulled under the cloud will disperse into nothing.

Mental Strain: Controlling the cloud, in any shape or size, requires a great deal of mental effort from Rayne. Overuse of the cloud or going too fast will eventually cause headaches, which can become migraines, which may eventually lead to her passing out from exhaustion.

Nimbus Cloud: While in its pure state, a floating cloud, Rayne can go her fastest and produce the strongest forces of weather, however, the weather is more inaccurate and may not strike where she wants it to, and the cloud, if going too fast, may be hard to control and turn.

Pierce the Heavens: While the cloud may have solid mass and can cushion Rayne from blunt forces, piercing attacks are very effective against the cloud. Knives, swords, daggers, claws, and so forth, when used to stab have an easy time going through the cloud and striking Rayne.

Reformation: Parts of the cloud may be destroyed if attacked enough. If parts of the cloud are destroyed Rayne will need to find a source of water in which she can repair her Nimbus.


Goggles, a watch and compass, a communicator watch, a small medkit, and a flare.


None, unless you count her cloud.


Rayne is an excellent runner, and while not at an Olympic level, she is on her way to that point. She is a quick thinker with excellent reaction time as well. She is pretty good at most sports, but seems to shine not only in track, but also acrobatics. She has trained a bit in parkour and even without her cloud can get to high places. In terms of fighting, she has been trained in street fighting as well as some kickboxing.
