Personality
Flamboyant and 'classy'. Rain is a generally well-mannered young man who makes a habit of getting under people's skin. He is incredibly dismissive of others and does think rather poorly of them, but knows how and when to behave.. mostly. He is rather sharp tongued and casually cuts down others.
This said, he has been raised to stand against injustice and understand what really matters. While he is rather self-centered and easily bored, his motivation to do 'the right thing' has been ingrained in him and, to a degree, is part of his nature, where self-agrandizement will take a distant second to saving people if needs be.
Background
Ash Crimson surprisingly enough saved the world by sacrificing himself, and at the same time, his own ancestor, Saiki. This caused a temporal paradox in which Ash Crimson was never born, but his closest friend and 'big sister' Elisabeth Blanctorche never really accepted this. Being the only person to remember the gaping hole in her soul that was Ash Crimson, she tried, possibly in vain, to find some traces, some proof of her oldest friend's existence. Which eventually, she did find, but not the way she expected.
She found a little boy, in an orphanage, apparently there, who was exactly like Ash was as an infant. Tracing his lineage proved nothing, but the resemblance was unmistakable. Moreover, the other members of the Crimson Family shared the same blood as this boy, which made Elisabeth certain that, in some way, her friend had been reincarnated, or reborn even. She took steps to adopt the boy, wanting him to be raised in the same environment that her friend was, with all the same privileges, but maybe, this time, more of a moral guidance.
Nature and Nurture were practically at war as her new 'son', Rain, grew up in France in the Blanctorche Estate. He took to learning rather easily and frankly, was dismissive of many of his lessons, only focusing on the ones he found interesting.. so long as he found them interesting. However, Elisabeth was determined that he wouldn't follow the same lonesome and hate-filled path that had branded Ash as everyone's enemy, until the very end. She instilled in him the values of the Blanctorche family, pushing him to value justice and honor above all else.
Possibly unsurprisingly, Rain barely paid either of those concepts much lip service, but when things went wrong, Rain was actually likely to choose to do the right thing. Even if that wasn't what he said. Despite his dismissive and condescending atttude, it seemed that her 'son' was going to follow in her footsteps.. even if his abilities were unmistakably Ash's. The Green Flame came naturally to him, as did several of Ash's signature techniques, even as she tried to teach him her own style, her techniques eventually shifted to resemble her friends' more. But that was alright with her after all.

Special Abilities
Cendres De La Victoire: While formally trained in the Blanctorche style, subtituting his flame for the light generation powers of the Blanctorche line, Rain's training all turned him to a series of techniques, which, while influenced in execution by his mother's style, ended up being very close practically to Ash Crimson's style. He calls this style 'Ashes of Victory'. Ironically.
Throws:
Brumaire: Rain grabs opponent and punches them away with a flaming hand.
Fructidor: Rain trips opponent, stomps on their neck and kicks them away.
Advanced Attacks: Variations and special attacks that Rain can deliver with ease.
Messidor: Overhead punch.
Floreal: Rain steps forward with a spinning kick.
Prairial: Rain steps backwards with a roundhouse kick.
Desperation Moves: These are Rain's Finishers. They can only be used after building up enough power, or when he's taken quite a bit of damage in a fight.
Thermidor: Charges up a large flaming green ball, then tosses a multi-hit projectile. This is a much more powerful version of the regular flaming projectile.
Pluviose: A series of 3 Nivose flip-kicks. Each of them picks up in speed and power, the last one hitting the enemywith his full strength.
Sans-Culottes (Liberté): Rain poses with a short flame burst around himself. Afterwards, he'll glow green for around 7 seconds, during which he'll have the following bonuses:
- He can perform Ventose/Nivose/Germinal exceptionally fast.
- He can cancel his Special Moves into each other.
- He can fire multiple Ventose projectiles at once.
Sans-Culottes (Egalité): Enhanced Sans-Culottes. The initial flame blast does more hits & damage, and the state lasts longer. This requires Remy to be both very hurt and to use up stored energy, a one-time only affair.
Révolte de Caprice: Rain dashes forward and, if hits, performs a very fast combo on his foe. He'll randomly finish it with one of his special moves.
Sans-Culottes (Fraternité): An even more powerful Sans-Culottes, doing more damage and lasting for 15 seconds. The initial activation has Remy laughing maniacally. This takes ALL of his energy, and he's wasted after doing it. He also needs to be near death to activate this power.
- Espoir: Rain summons a big pillar of green flame around himself for a moment, doing heavy hits & damage. Must be performed while the Lv.3 Sans-Culottes is active, and deactivates it after use.
Powers & Merits
Pyrokinesis: Rain can create and control special green flames that look like melted wax. The origin of this flame is still unknown.
- Create Fire: Rain can create fire from thin air.
- Fire Projectile: Rain can create projectiles made of fire.
- Fire Attacks: Rain can increase damage of his punches and kicks with fire.
- Fire Aura: Rain can create fire around his body.
Power Moves: Techniques which make use of Rain's special powers.
Ventose: Rain throws 1 or 2 flame waves, serving as his projectile. The second version knocks down and does 3 hits up close.
Nivose: Rising sommersault kick. Anti-air attack.
Germinal: Rain dashes forward while covered in flames.
Bijou: Defensive move; Rain poses while taunting his opponent. If hit during this, he'll blur to his opponent's back (stunning them for a moment) while laughing. "Ha ha ha ha! What are you looking at?"
- Recolter: Execute this immediately after catching an attack with the above move. Instead of blurring, Rain will now grab his foe and blast a flaming hand on their body, knocking them away with a damaging hit.
Frimaire Souragé: Rain drops downwards with a gracious flip-kick. Doesn't knock down.
Frimaire Fortifé: Rain dives diagonally downwards with a drilling attack.
Vendemiaire: Rain grabs his foe and does a fast autocombo (punchpunchpunchkicktoss) on them.
Merits
Self-Confident (5pts): Rain is not just talk. Generally speaking, he can back up what he says and can talk all the smack and then prove it.
Graceful (2pts): Rain fights in a delicate, dancer-like fashion. This cinches his ability as a dance-battler type.
Ability Aptitude: Performance Art (1pt): Rain is an amazing artist, especially for body art (tattoos, piercings, subdermal implants, nail art)
Honeyed Tongue (2pts): Rain is a master manipulator and can lie to someone about a subject they're an expert in.
Unique Items
Hairband: A common hair band. It holds hair in place.
Art Supplies: Common art supplies, from the best of the best, as well as a fully functional tattoo kit.

Weaknesses & Flaws
Flaws can go here. Balance is key! Text goes here
Flaws
Compulsive Speech (1pt): Rain is rather sharp tongued and quite likely to say a scathing or pithy remark whenever the occasion presents itself. He is also rather dismissive of threats or people.
Overconfident (1pt): Rain thinks very highly of himself. As such, he tends to not use his full power or focus on his adversaries. Combined with his dismissive attitude, this can make someone get a serious edge on him.
Curiosity (2pts): Once more part of his slight invincibility complex and over confidence, Rain is very likely to indulge in his curiosity, even if it could be detrimental. ('Oooh, what does this button do?' *click*)
Mistaken Identity - Ash Crimson (1pt): Due to his mannerisms, ways of talking and general appearance, people who knew of him may recognize him as 'That Man' even without knowing the name, causing certain people (Iori Yagami, Chizuri Kagura, Kyo Kusanagi, K') to want him ill, and others to assume he is one of theirs (Those from the Past).
Echoes (1pt): Despite not being in any way demonic or the like, Rain can cause an eerie feeling to well-meaning sensor-type individuals, and generally causes odd events in 'sanctified' places. This is due to the link to Gaia's Will, attempting to awaken him.
