personality. PLAY-DELAY. history. PLAY-DELAY. abilities. As a Blood male, Rainier wields a magic known as Craft, which covers everything from mundane uses of power to unimaginable feats, responsible for everything from witchlight to psychic communication and shielding to the incorporeal 'cupboard' in which the Blood use to keep all manner of items small or large which they can call to them or vanish them back into safe keeping. As a Blood male with a Jewel in the 'dark' spectrum, his primary reservoir of formidable power is his Opals Jewels, but when they are spent (some feats of Craft can be incredibly draining) he is able to use his Birthright Jewels, unless they too are depleted.
While being a Warlord Prince grants him no specific 'powers', he can be highly dangerous if aroused, for it is the cold temper that is dangerous, not the hot one. A Warlord Prince, especially one with dark Jewels (no matter how even tempered he might be otherwise), is highly temperamental, territorial and easily pushed to the killing edge, a point at which the male must either kill or be directed by a female into some service to bring them back from it, because of an instinctive need to defend and protect. appearance. From one of the short-lived races, Rainier is fair of coloring - pale-skin, green-eyes and a veritable mane of brown hair.

Before his accident, he carried himself with a light, ease grace, but that has given was to a combination of pain and bitterness.
