Archived:Rainer Dexidus

HISTORY:
Rainer's mother, Nova, had always liked taking walks in the night. She was in her mid 20's by that time. She enjoyed life and froliced in all it's benefits. Ironic the man she met that night. They bumped into eachother, talked some and ended up dating for a few weeks. Nova became pregnant but to her dismay, the man had simply vanished. About nine months later, Rainer was born in Colorado with a rarer eye color, silver. On the day of his birth, the man visited again. He explained himself, saying that he was the greek god, Thanatos, and what would become of the child.

Early Life - Nova never remarried, and Rainer grew up helping his mother to sustain their little life. He helped how he could, be it picking up around the house or helping his mother with chores. Rainer never seemed to mind. He did what had to be done to keep the house in order. Not having a whole lot of toys or anything of the sort, Rainer always played imaginary, running about outside, exploring. A friend of his mother's, Nick always came by frequently. They talked and he helped out when they had needed it and quickly became friends with Rainer.

Elementary Life - Once Rainer was old enough to go to schooling, he managed to retain the persona of his mother. He was charismatic, acted like a class clown, and tried to make the most of what he could there. Despite this he didn't make too many friends. He was picked on quite frequently, particularly about his eye color, though it didn't bother him a whole lot. He prefered the solitude to a multitude of friends and followers. Rainer got fairly good grades throughout his time there. Nearing the end of 8th grade for Rainer, finances became harder for Nova. Nick ended up moving in with them to help with the funds and became like a father figure in the household for Rainer, though he and Nova never married.

Middle School - Rainer entered Middle school and found himself at the epicenter of bullying. Rainer was picked on constantly, and beat up routinely. This didn't deter his persona, though it made his preference of solitide all the stronger, as well as making him slightly more sadistic and sociopathic in his actions. Enduring the constant tormenting, Rainer started to see his grades improve, and kept up with his liking of physical activity, joining swordsplay training, gymnastics, and kept in good shape. He kept on and despite the bullying things seemed to go well. That is, until his mother fell terminally ill. She died at only 28 when Rainer was 12, leaving Rainer lost and hurt. He was mad his mother died to illness, wishing she had died having fulfilled more. Because of this Rainer swore to himself that when he were to die, he would have had a life worth living. Nick stayed and took care of Rainer, trying to rebuild their lives and continue on. After his mother's death, Rainer still seemed to sense her presence, always with him.

First Attack(At the age of 13) - It was the middle of Spring Break, not a whole lot was happening. Rainer had went on a run as he typically did when there was nothing to do. After running for a while, Rainer layed on his back at a bench in the park to catch his breath. No body was around and Nick knew he would take long runs so Rainer decided to simply take a nap there. Rainer woke up being nudged by an elderly woman. Rainer sat up quickly and apolagized thinking she wanted to sit down. The lady asked "Are you the one they call Rainer Dexidus?" Rainer looked back confused and nodded. "Yeah, I'm Rainer. Wh-" before he could finnish, the lady turned into a snake-like thing and readied to attack him. Rainer suddenly felt a smack to the back of his head, as his vision darkened and he passed out.

Rainer awoke hours later on the couch in his house. Nick was sharpening two segmented swords that looked like they were made of silver. Noting Rainer's awakening. Nick started to explain everything that had happened and that he was a child of Thanatos. After Nick had finnished and Rainer had mulled everything over, Nick handed him the swords. "These are whip blades. Push that trigger on the hilt and it releases into a bladed whip. Let go of the trigger, and it's a sword again. Learn to use them." And so Rainer did. Nick kept Rainer for training. While he was physically and intellectually adept, Nick knew Rainer would need more knowledge in order to last. Maybe it was just because he didn't want to see him go. Either way, Nick taught him everything he needed to know, and keeping him in school until he could drop out. Rainer learned to use the whip blades effectively and learned to use two at once to his advantage. Rainer kept training throughout the years to come(age 14 - 15), Nick teaching him more and more about what his life was to become and what he'd need to know to survive. Rainer got better and better, even killing a few monsters with Nick's help. By the time he was 16, Rainer had passed high school early with a drop out and readied himself as best he could. Nick and Rainer traveled to Long Islane to a place called Camp Half-Blood. "This is your new home Rainer. Do your part. Remember what I've taught you. I'll keep in touch." And with that, Rainer began his new life at Camp Half-Blood.
