[Black_Hawk]

Physical Description:
Rayne is moderately tall for the human like which she appears, hitting 5' 11" in height. While Weighing 189lbs, she is more toned muscle than extraneous weight. Her skin is a light tan, and her light red hair runs straight down to mid-lower back, which she secures in place via strips of teal cloth tied about it at intervals down its length so it does not hamper her movement or get caught in her weapon. Her eyes are a startlingly unnatural bright teal in color; though her eyes were not originally this color, a minor flaw in the creation, or birth, of her elan self changed them to what they are. Wrapping up her right arm and onto her shoulder is a tattoo that appears to be a vine entwined with a chain composed of small letters and words of differing origin. A second tattoo, one paying homage to her chosen deity, can be found on her back; Written in Dwarven, the teachings of Moradin can be found scribed on her back in the shape of the Hammer of Moradin and the chisel of her craft.

Her normal outfit is composed of black leather pants, a teal undershirt with her black Crystal Chain Shirt over top, crystal studded mid-calf boots, and a black traveling cloak bearing the hammer of Moradin in teal. Carrying a light pack containing only a small amount of equipment, she travels very light for the human she appears to be. Instead of the bedroll or sleeping mat on her pack, she carries a mat of woven straw meant for meditation. Her weapon of choice it the Chain She carries lightly knotted to her hip: A smokey teal chain, or at least it appears to be a chain, held together between the lethal spikes seemingly by thin air. When she draws it for combat, faint whispers from the ether are projected into the minds of anyone within 15 feet while it is wielded, making it obvious when this weapon is is use. Her weapon of choice is utterly useless to those without psionic power, as the power needed to hold the links together is drawn minutely from the mind of the wielder.

Background: Pre-Elan Life
Before becoming an Elan, the one who is know known as Rayne was known as Elissa McFarland. She was once a well known craftsman in the town of Baldurs Gate, delving into arcane study and sculpture to make a living. Her shop at that time, the Stone Guardian, sold to wealthy patrons both mundane stone works and large stone sculptures of various design enchanted for the use of guarding property. This occupation made her both friend and foe to many different organizations, one of which eventually got her.

Being the craftsman that she was, though she could afford better, she had her shop on a less crowded, more isolated end of the city than most crafts persons of her sort. While at work one night in her studio, finishing upa feminine statue as a guard-work for a client of hers, she was disturbed by the sounds of combat in the yard of her shot. magical cracks of lightning and the hum of magic missiles reached her ears. Someone was attacking her home, and had apparently awoken her own stone sentrys. Within the next minute as she hurried out of her studio, having thought that her sentrys would take care of the intruders, she was blown off her feet by the blast of a fireball, which, by happenstance or design, had worked its way into the masonry of the wall. As she rose to her feet, she was blasted back by a flight of magic missiles from a man in Red who stepped through the door. Rising to her feet as the man laughed cruelly, she observed the massive number of tattoos and this mans apparent infatuation with red.
"Your works have angered those of us from Thay, wench. Our agenda shall not be hindered, by those of power or by those of you who think you do." The man in the Red said.
"Those of us of faith, any faith of the light, will always oppose you and your evil ways, in any way we can. Prepare to taste the power of the followers of Moradin, god of stone!" She said as she rose, and cast a pre-prepared spell of rock to mud on the unworked stone of the corridor. The Red Wizard of Thay, being unprepared for such a unusual choice of combat magic, sank into the mud for a time, but recovered using levitation to unmire himself. While he was unsticking himself, pre-Rayne Elissa Created a Wall of Iron in the space of the doorway into her studio. The Thay, rising from the much, smirked and disintegrated the wall to her studio with an actinic green ray from his finger. Having had a moment of reprive from the fight, Elissa had cast defensive spells about her person, which were the only things that saved her from a sequenced barrage from the Thay which he unleashed as soon as he stepped through the falling dust of the studio wall. Magic Missiles, shards of ice and metaphysical arrows flew into and around her and her defenses. Retaliating, she flung several large blocks of uncarved and unworked granite at the wizard en-mass with telekinesis. Striking him down, she approached, crossing her hands below her chest, she walked to where the wizard lay apparently stunned, a summoned Mordenkainen's Blade in tow.
"Any last words, wretch?" She said as she moved the blade to his throat with a thought.
"Yes, i do." He said turning toward her, "And those words are that those of Thay do not lost to confused little stonecarvers!"
With those words, he instantly recalled a want of Flesh to Stone from a glove of storing he was wearing and, catching Elissa unaware, blasted her with it, turning her to stone.
The Red Wizard of Thay rose from the ground, dusting off his robes. Laughing, he moved the, now stone, Elissa to her carving platform. Breaking the statue she had worked on so that its shards were facing the doorway. With the massive amounts of magic residue in the air and the general discord of the studio, no one would be able to determine that the stone one was really the craftsman Elissa. Cackling at the delightful irony of his disposal of the craftsman and his genius of cursing her to be the medium in which she worked forever, he used his only teleport spell to return to his society.

The Guard arrived at the scene to see the remnants of the magical battle. Walking into the studio, they saw the magical carnage and, their mage, being unwise, concluded that the owner was destroyed, her shards being those on the ground. Due to the latent magic of the studio and the newly spawned magic of the battle, he was unable to determine otherwise. The Statue of Elissa was delivered to the commissioners of her original work, and her house and property was sold.
The nature of her statue self was not determined until 50 years later, when she did not animate during an attempted robbery of the estate of her residence. She was turned from stone back to flesh within the confines of the manor, staggering back after being returned to flesh. After being apprised of her situation by the owners of the manor and being brought up to speed on the happenings since, she was stunned and appalled. The residents, like her, were also not as they appeared. Seeing as they could trust her now, or could in their own minds at least, they informed her that she had been selling to them her sculpted defenses for quite some time as a magical defense for the secrets housed within the manor. For 75 years at that time, this manor, within Baldurs Gate was home to the council of Elans. Intrigued by their story, she stayed under their hospitality for a time. As she garnered news about Baldurs Gate from the inhabitants, an unearthly hate for the Red Wizards, beyond what she had before, was created. The Red Wizards had, since her time, advanced their evil agenda within the confines of Baldurs Gate quite well, creating a cesspool of evil within the section of the city which she once occupied. The Elan Council, seeing her loathing of the Red Wizards, was intrigued. The majority of the occupants of the Manor, mostly the guards and servants of the Elan Council, were all, for the most part, good with the exception of some who trod in the gray areas of right. Knowing the span of life for Elans from the storys of some of the occupants of the manor, she plead for a chance to be made one.
Possessing the desired features and a drive for a task which was, while not endorsed, encouraged by the Elans, she was accepted and then shed her human flesh, becoming Elan as a whole. As she was reacquainted with life the day after her turning, she was walking amongst the grounds and, while examining a work that she had created, though not remembered, it began to rain. Knowing that her old life would never return now, she chose the name of the cleansing fall that she encountered after being changed. Rayne.

Elan Life leading to our current point.
In the months to follow, she would have her desire for sculpting return, though she was appalled at the thought of working with a medium in which she remembered being imprisoned. An Elan in residence within the manor posed an alternate solution: The art of Psionic Shaping. She took up the work of a Shaper with vigor, regaining in part her avidity concerning sculpture through the manipulation of the ether. She studied under the Psion who had convinced her to pursue Shaping for the next 15 years, at which time the council and its guards moved to the East. During the relocation, Rayne heard of the plight of Cormyr. After telling her Master that she would depart, for though her new life was different, the undying hate for the red wizards made her think that they could be at fault for at least part of the plight of Cormyr, she prepared for her journey. Her master, as a parting gift, gave her a chain shirt of crystal for defense and the spiked crystal chain with which she had trained under his tutelage, though he modified it to pack more 'punch' before he gifted it to her. Setting out on the road with little baggage, as only an elan can on a long journey, she began the long hike to Cormyr from the road the Elan Council was taking to the east.
