Name: Rahne Sinclair
Age: 19
Apparent Age: 18
Gender: Female
Hair: (Human) red; (transitional/lupine) red-brown
Eyes: Green
Appearance:
Code Name: Wolfsbane
Powers:
Lycanthropy: Rahne through mental concentration can transform herself into a wolf, while retaining most of her human intelligence, or into a transitional form which combines both human and lupine aspects. She cannot adopt any other form but these, nor can she take the form of different kinds of wolves. Her wolf form always has the same physical characteristics.
Although Wolfsbane can transform herself into a wolf, she is not a werewolf; in other words, there is nothing supernatural about her power. Her transformations are not dependent on the phases of the moon, and she has the same vulnerabilities to injury, as does a normal wolf when she is in lupine form. Wolfsbane's transformations are brought about only as a conscious act of will on her part, although it is possible that she might turn into a wolf without willing to do so if she were sufficiently frightened. She does not possess a weakness to silver like that of a supernatural werewolf.
Enhanced Strength: possesses strength enhanced beyond the human norm, similar to that of a wolf.
Enhanced Speed: possesses speed enhanced beyond the human norm, similar to that of a wolf.
Enhanced Reflexes: possesses reflexes enhanced beyond the human norm, similar to that of a wolf.
Hyperkeen Senses: her senses are similar to those of a wolf's, but are also heightened beyond those possessed by a real wolf. In lupine form Wolfsbane can see into the ultraviolet and infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. As a result, as a wolf she perceives things as patterns of heat. Thus, she can see things even in absolute darkness (in terms of what is "visible light" to ordinary humans). As a wolf she can hear sounds that are beyond the range of human hearing. When she is in lupine form she can also detect scents that ordinary humans cannot, and therefore, she can trail someone by scent just as a wolf or dog can. As a wolf Wolfsbane can judge a person's emotional state and detect any changes in that state as they occur through observing the heat patterns and scents that person gives off.
Wolfsbane retains virtually all of her human intelligence when she is in lupine form. However, as a wolf she might have difficulty at pattern recognition, or in comprehending particularly complicated concepts which she could understand somewhat more easily as a human. She does not possess a wolf's instincts, and therefore must learn how to use her lupine abilities. However, when she is in lupine form, since she then has a wolf's vocal organs, she cannot speak.
Wolfsbane's "transitional form" combines elements of her human and lupine forms. In it she retains her full intelligence and is capable of speech. In transitional form Wolfsbane is less agile than she is as a wolf, but she is stronger than she is as a human being. She can stand erect and use her front "paws" as hands. She is still covered with fur in her transitional form, but the coat is thinner. At least some of her senses in transitional form are more acute than they are in her human form.
Wolfsbane's lupine and transitional forms are more massive than her human form. The source of this additional mass is unknown.
Background: Rahne Sinclair was born in Scotland and was delivered by Dr. Moira MacTaggert, daughter of Lord Kinross and close friend and professional associate of Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. Her father, a Presbyterian minister called Reverend Craig, told no one Rahne was his child as he was ashamed of the illicit relationship which had sired her, but he took her in and raised her as an orphan. His treated her harshly, but she was befriended by MacTaggert, whose ward she became.
Sinclair's mutant power, which enables her to transform herself into a wolf-like being, emerged at puberty. One night when Sinclair was fourteen, she fled in wolf form from a mob led by Reverend Craig, who believed her to be possessed by the devil. One member of the mob shot at Sinclair, inflicting a flesh wound. In wolf form Sinclair ran past MacTaggert, fell, and reverted to human form before her eyes. Recognizing Sinclair, MacTaggert took her under her protection, saving her from the mob. MacTaggert brought Sinclair to Professor Xavier in America.
Anything else you'd like to add: Rahne is a very religious Protestant.
Sample RP: Since Rahne had got back and her powers were developing more, she had been having strange dreams of killing people in her Lupin form. Her dreams were so vivid like it was actually happening. All the blood and flesh being teared, it was like she was some sort of werewolf from a horror movie. Or maybe that was just the movie she watched yesterday..'The Underworld'. Either way it was getting harder to control herself when she transformed, instincts of the wolf had taken over.
Right now she needed to get away from it all, and thats exactly what she was doing. She was in her lupin form at this moment running threw unknown woods where there was no path, and the trees got thicker causing the Day to look like the Night. Her senses were heightened and she paid attention to sounds that she wouldn't have heard with her human ears. Coming to a stop she stayed very still as she saw something in the bushes infront of her. She crouched down ready to pounce, she made a giant leap and landed in the bushes trying to get a hold of the rabbit. It got free and she chased after it going deeper into the woods.
