rayner neriah june ,, You will know, I will suffer so you won't. You will know, I will suffer so you don't. Like a human sacrifice, we pay the price. My heart starts reacting, my soul starts collapsing, I'm dancing in fire again. I'm burning and bleeding, the parasites are breeding. It's me versus me versus them. [App] Rayner's not even at his halfway point and he's already had a hectic life. He was born and raised in Arcata, California. After he graduated high school, he bounced around Northern California, working odd and "starter" jobs until he became a plumber. When he was twenty-five, Rayner joined the Militants. Even there, it took quite some time for him to figure out where exactly he fit. Eventually his attitude got him in trouble, and at twenty-nine he decided he could take care of himself. He moved to Georgia to be with his partner at the time, and stayed there to help take care of his daughter. That was until he went missing. Rayner has spent the last six years at Infinity. Where to find him: Rayner's sole job is first point guarding the gate. He very very rarely takes any other post. He doesn't consort with students, so during the day he just stays there. Later on, he spends most of his time in his room unless there's some kind of staff function going on. Affiliations: Infinity Staff (Officer), The Militants (Former). There are very few (if any,) people that work at Infinity that remember Rayner's old personality. Instead, most know him as the stern officer who guards the gate. He doesn't hate that role. Although he's powerful enough on his own, Rayner takes care to get to know his officer colleagues in the event of a major incident- his time in the resistance has made him realize the power of collaboration. The past six years have been incredibly quiet. The old, immature, Rayner would have hated it. Now he still longs for a change, but recognizes that patience is a virtue. I am a whore, holy, loved, lonely- murdering the others now and then. I am barren, fruitful, bored but rarely useful- A sinner seeking manic martyrdom. Rayner's the sort of person that, in most situations, gets on with others easily. But I don't see him having any current deep friendships. He's reluctant to speak about his life, even to people he knows well. When it comes to simple conversation though, Rayner's a heavy-lifter. He's the sort of person that can bring someone into a conversation with ease. Rayner goes out of his way to not associate with students- that's easier said than done, though. Especially when he's trying to keep them out of trouble. Among the staff, Rayner is a, if not the, senior officer. He's someone that in a group setting often leads the conversation, and can be quite charming. One on one, he's a little calmer and more subdued. In general, Rayner tries to be helpful whenever possible. He still definitely has that 'change the lightbulb' ethos. As long as it's not obviously against his interests, he's not against getting involved or helping out with something. He's generally a very tolerant person who can "get along" in most situations, especially now that that sticky hotheadedness has been edited out. He's the type of person that can give someone several chances if they seem like they're genuinely trying- if they don't? His fuse is still pretty short. » Like Family » Almost Like Family » Attached at the Hip » Partners in Crime » Best Friends » Really Close Friends » Somewhat Close Friends » Pretty Good Friends » Growing Friendship » Friendship Crush » Party Friends » Online Friends » Childhood Friends » Enemies Turned Friends » First Name Basis » Acquaintances The devil may care, but I don't. No masters, no gods, no laws, no soul. I'm insignificant, I'm shiny and unique. I'm a freak, I'm a fuck-up- I'm suffering. On one hand, awkward silences don't exist with Rayner. On the other hand, comfortable silences often don't either. He doesn't like to hear himself talk, but he's also not terribly fond of silence either. Then again, the man spends most of his days alone at the gate- he finally gets why all those old folks wanted someone to sit down and talk to for twenty minutes. I also think Rayner is the type of person that some people just can't feel comfortable around. Perhaps he's a little too intense for them, or maybe they can tell that he's holding back. Anyone that knows him from his resistance days will certainly hate him- he's a traitor. Not just working for the enemy- but actively doing their dirty work. And Rayner, well... What can he say to that? Nothing. That's one of the main reasons why he has nothing to do with students in the first place- can't have a confrontation with someone you never talk to. Despite his personality adjustment, Rayner is still opinionated. Sometimes he bites his tongue so hard it almost bleeds. But, every once in a while, something slips out. And when that happens? It's usually not gentle or filtered. Rayner is someone that likes to challenge people to push their limits and improve themselves, which is sure to get him on some people's bad side. And he's perfectly fine to be there! (see what I meant about his old personality bubbling up?) Even if he dislikes someone, Rayner isn't the type to bother with arguments- and the last time he hit someone he felt deserved it was five and a half years ago. » Choke and Die » Hardcore Hatred » Mutual Hatred » Rayner Hates You » You Hate Rayner » Mutual Dislike » Rayner Dislikes You » You Dislike Rayner » Annoyance » One Sided Annoyance » Rayner Backstabbed You » You Backstabbed Rayner » Non-Friendly Rivals » Friendly Rivals » Friends Turned Enemies » Love-Hate » By Association Touch, taste, feel. Prick the skin, push it in, nothing will be wasted. All my hate, all my faith- the cloak becomes sacred. Rayner was very, very interested in dating in the outside world. At Infinity, well, the pool here is incredibly small. There is a part of him that yearns for romance, but he also knows that he's not himself- it almost feels like lying by omission, even though it's not... Really, the man is a mess of complicated feelings. He's very calm on the outside- but he knows himself that he's probably not in the best place to get into a relationship. I can't totally rule out the idea of a hookup or anything for him though. Or him dating, or anything in this category, really. Even someone from his past popping back up is potentially on the table. Rayner is literally just out here vibing every single day.

Everything. Bred for the slaughter, the march of the martyrs. Almost every year, the same rumor about him spreads: that he single-handedly raided a resistance base, and there were no survivors. The details change every time, but the story is the same. Rayner has done nothing to quell these rumors. While Rayner is involved in Noel's research, he's involved solely as a subject. He gets the concepts that have been explained to him, but it's not like he has anything of substance to add. If he's lucky, they might even succeed: and he can leave this godforsaken place powerless. As I wrote in his app, Rayner has the potential to be a mentor of sorts. I don't see him happily taking some kid under his wing, but the idea of Rayner being a reluctant mentor is extremely amusing to me... Perhaps he sees potential in someone that's being unfairly picked on, and gives them some secret lessons on how to defend themselves? (Which everyone later questions, because there's no way they learned that in class.) This doesn't even have to be related to powers either- he isn't a loud-mouthed hot-head anymore, but Rayner remembers how to be. Rayner is caught between a rock and a hard place. He still, occasionally, thinks about how easy it would be to break the dome- but what's he going to do, swim? The work he's doing now feels very important, even if he doesn't like where he has to do it. In his position, he does what he can to make life within the dome a little better, and, like his benefactor, he wants to see the subjects become strong. He does what he can in his own way to accomplish that goal. » Bad Influence » Good Influence » Mixed Feelings » Mutual Respect » Rayner Respects You » You Respect Rayner » Mutual Admiration » Rayner Admires You » You Admire Rayner » Rayner Is Protective of You » You're Protective of Rayner » Emotional Support » Stalker » Obsession » Fake Friend » Knew Each Other Outside » Anything Else/Other Anything striked out is unavailable for one reason or another.

name; Rudolph Smith gender; Agender age; 28 orientation; Unsure relationship(s); Rudolph does not like Rayner. He especially doesn't like him because he is literally the one physically keeping everyone in. Rudolph's opinion of him might rise once he finds out that he feels the same way about bullies as he does. you say; "I wish he'd go away." name; Samira Seo gender; Female age; 30 orientation; Homosexual relationship(s); Samira doesn't have a strong opinion on Rayner. She will admit that he's incredibly capable at his job, but she doesn't love being on the same post as him- mainly because he doesn't always know how to leave well enough alone. When they combine their powers, they are an incredibly strong duo. you say; "He's not my least favorite colleague." name; Stephen Choi gender; Male age; 35 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); Stephen recognized Rayner as someone torn immediately. While he isn't sure what kind of game he wants to play yet, he does intend to keep that information in his back pocket. you say; "I should stay in my coworkers' good graces, right?" name; Zachariah Kwon gender; Male age; 30 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Rayner is one of those people that Zack figured he'd never see again. He left so suddenly- he barely got to say goodbye. In the very short amount of time that they knew each other, Zack had grown to respect and even look up to him. So, here- at Infinity- was the last place he ever expected to cross paths with him. Whatever good memories Zachariah had of him, he's throwing them away now. When the time comes, he'll deal with him first. ...Perhaps as a side effect of their past association, Zack is still very much able to "sync up" to Rayner. Even if he hates him. you say; "Traitor. I'll take him down first." name; Noel Yang gender; Male age; 44 orientation; Asexual relationship(s); The truth is, Noel didn't do much to Rayner. He did his best to tone down that bad habit he had of running his mouth, made him a little calmer... The secret ingredient, if you want to call it that, is belief. False confidence does a lot for a person. As for why he did it- perhaps he did feel a little sympathy for him. But he also needed someone like him for his research, and the moment he stepped onto the island, he threw almost everything away. A blank canvas is the most suitable to draw on. To be clear, he's not completely unaware of Rayner's resentment towards him. But Noel enjoys a little spice in life, so he's fine to let things continue on as they have. you say; "I'm impressed, even if he thinks I'm responsible, he's gotten much stronger." name; Hana Yang gender; Female (Questioning) age; 28 orientation; Unsure relationship(s); There's something about Rayner that rubs Hana the wrong way. Perhaps it's just the fact that he's an officer- or maybe it's that rumor going around about him. She feels bad about it, but she doesn't tend to talk to him, and would prefer to keep it that way. you say; "...It's not true, is it?"
