Gender: Male
Profession: The Scarecrow
Appearance:
Rayne is a tall, skinny boy, standing at just under six feet. He weighs barely more than one-hundred pounds. His skin is very pale and covered in little scratches and cuts that would be almost unnoticeable if not for their numbers.Personality:
A lanky child, Rayne's arms and legs are very long; the attribute that earned him his nicknamed: Scarecrow.
He has matted black hair that hangs around his head in clumps and covers most of his eyes. When visible, one would take note of his eyes; the piercing emerald green color that is so characteristic of his family.
An immature little boy, Rayne has no lost love for adults, escaping their company for that of children his own age whenever possible. He is very distrustful of people who are older than him. Rayne is still enticed by the childhood idea of never growing up. Interestingly enough, he is also a natural leader, inspiring confidence and hope into any who will listen to him (a suspiciously adult-like trait).History:
Rayne has quite the sweet tooth and will often stray from the task at hand to pursue a treat that has caught his eye. He also has a paralyzing fear of spiders, an ailment that has plagued him since birth without any known reason behind it.
Born the son of a wealthy banker in a southern fief of Araluen, Rayne spent his first decade of life relatively deprived of anything even slightly resembling fun. His father began educating the boy as soon as he could learn to read. Unfortunately for Mr. Ackerman, Rayne showed no interest in banking or money, for that matter.Additional Information:
As Rayne grew into the age when all children will inevitably do anything to rebel against their parents and the rest of society, his tendencies to break the line between social classes that people like his father had worked so hard to create became worse. He would run about the streets in nothing but the simplest clothing, handing out his fine jackets and pants to homeless folks and poor families.
Just before his thirteenth birthday, Rayne's father had had enough and threw the boy out into the streets, renouncing him as a son. Rayne had never been happier. He fled his home town and joined a traveling band of gypsies from which Rayne learned his true passion, among other things.. Leadership. The other children in the caravan looked up to him and they would do things for him that they wouldn't even do if their parents ordered them to. Want the little ones to go to bed? Get Rayne. They also taught him how to grow crops, sew and steal. He got quite the reputation among his new family.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. A year after finding the gypsies, Rayne was forced to leave when a wagon caught fire and he was blamed. They gave him enough food to make it to the nearest town and left him behind. The nearest town just so happened to be the capital city of Araluen. It was here that Rayne rediscovered his abilities and began rallying the poor and homeless children to band together. With little effort, he convinced them to leave their dirty, miserable homes and join him. He led them out of the city and deep into the forest where they built new homes out of sticks and stones. Some were even ambitious enough to build their homes in the treetops, Rayne included. They named it, 'The Farm,' after the Scarecrow (Rayne) who watched over them.
The Farm has grown in the past year, both in size and population. Only one rule. No adults allowed.
Rayne is accompanied anywhere he goes by a stray dog that he found, who he named Shivers.
Rayne is an extremely fast runnter and an unnaturally skilled fist fighter, facts made infamous among the inhabitants of the Farm.
Most people only know him by his nickname, Scarecrow.
