C O D E N A M E  n a m e Raleigh Adney Birchc o d e n a m e n/aa g e 17 years oldg e n d e r Malea l i g n m e n t National Super Agencyr a n k Freelance Superp r i m a r y_p o w e r Matter Conversions e c o n d a r y_p o w e r N/Ap o w e r_d e s c r i p t i o n It seems Raleigh can turn dead organic matter into living creatures. Which includes grass, trees, ground, earth, dirt, mud and funnily enough, already dead animals. The dead creatures that are brought back appear to have no resemblance to any past personalities and are in fact very violent, attacking everything, moving and non-moving, except Raleigh himself. The boy does seem to have some level of influence over the 'zombies', more so the plant/rock/mud type rather then the flesh, which in an ethical sense, shouldn't be brought back at all. Of course that hasn't stopped him from returning Sooty from the grave and letting her run amok through the old woman down the street's bedroom. The boy does seem to have a warped sense of humour. As before mentioned he does have some sort of control over his creations but at this stage they tend to ignore many or all of his instructions. It is believed that in time he will gain complete control over them.
Raleigh's power does however have its restrictions. It takes quite a lot of strength to create any type of being, the 'flesh' more then the more inanimate objects. When a creature of his making in currently active Raleigh feels a lot more tired and tends to sleep a lot to regain energy. It has been speculated that since dead animals can be brought back so could humans. Of course with many careful considerations it can easily be assumed that doing such a thing would drain young Raleigh nearly to the brink of death while leaving him with a sick and twisted creature that was once human. Thus such a thing will not be tested and the possibility unmentioned in further reports.
Moving into the particular of how, it has been observed that the 'zombies' are created in such a manner that when Raleigh gives his mental command the being merely springs to life. Of course there has to be a fair amount of organic matter laying around for use. Example: Whilst is a park on a rainy day, Raleigh can focus on one particular area, lets say a mud-puddle, and after a bit of exertion on his part the creature in question will rise up from the muck. Depending on how big the creature is decides the level of energy that must be used and also the level of control Raleigh has on it. The only way a 'zombie' can be stopped is if it is killed by regular means or Raleigh gets close enough to take the energy back.
Both types are vulnerable to fire.

About Raleigh
Current Location: Attempting to teach
Super Name: Legion
Name: Raleigh Adney Birch
Name meanings:
Raleigh - The meadow of the Roe deer
Adney - A dweller on the island
Birch - At the birch tree
Age: 18
Star sign: Aries/Taurus cusp
Quick Personality:
Need to be reviewed
Deep Personality:
What Raleigh would have been like if he hadn't been treated so cruelly by his parents and cast out one cannot say, but most likely he would be a warm hearted and open person. He is now, unfortunately, a very wary creature, suspicious of everyone he comes across. It is better to be safe and hate everyone than to give people a chance and watch them disappoint you. That's what he tells himself anyway. It is to only a few people that he opens up and even then he keeps an unreachable distance.
When someone tries to push him into doing something he'd rather not do, Raleigh will dig in his heels and refuse to give in. Incredibly stubborn, it also makes him determined to see things through or reach a goal no matter how hard it seems. Don't get in his way when he's in this mood, as he wont hesitate in using whatever powers are available to him to get you out of the way. This single-mindedness could be a danger to him one day.
Ruriska seems to be rubbing off on Raleigh and as the days pass he becomes more honest to the point of being rude. A blunt talker you might say. Of course no one can be as blunt as Ruriska and he does have quite a bit of subtleness about him. This boy is also quite selfish, but he's growing out it slowly.
On the good side of the coin Raleigh can be very caring and if he loves someone he'll go out of his way to make sure they're all right. The bond he has with the creatures he creates with his powers is also incredibly strong and the goodness of his nature can be seen whenever he is forced to take away the life he gave it.
Lately Raleigh has become a lot calmer, though no less arrogant.
Quote: Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me alone.

Power Explanation
Raleigh can turn dead organic matter into living creatures; materials which include bone, the skins of animals, grass, wood, dirt, mud and sand. Anything made from those materials are considered ‘natural’ and are made to Raleigh’s specifications. All, except the larger ones, listen to Raleigh’s commands without question and all are born with the instinct to protect their creator.
At the beginning Raleigh had to be able to see his materials, but as he had grown he no longer has that restriction. His mind (or powers) search for what he needs that is the immediate area and mentally gathers it together. He no longer needs to see it but there is an area restriction. How far Raleigh can reach out for materials is yet unknown.
Depending on the size of the 'natural' creation, and the number of them that Ra’s makes at one time, a certain amount of energy is used. It does take a large chunk out of Raleigh but after the creature is made, it separates completely from him and his energy returns quickly. The ‘natural’ creation becomes an independent creature and can work without any command from the creator.
The ‘natural’ creations have no organs and besides the fact that they can move about and make noises on occasion, ‘alive’ is only used loosely since the can return time and time again if Raleigh has enough materials at hand. They do not feel any pain and will keep attacking their target no matter how many limbs are missing.
A bond builds between Raleigh and his creations depending on how long they have been around. The better that bond the quicker it takes for the transformation from raw materials to the actual functioning creation. Yasuo takes a blink of an eye to make, while anything made up on the spot takes at last a minute or two of thought.
The memory of a creation remains in Raleigh’s mind. It can be described in computer terms. Raleigh brings up a Word document (the creation), after using it he can either discard it or name it. Naming it saves the creation to his memory, making it easier to return into being.
A giver of life, Raleigh can also take it back. To begin with, taking the life from his creations causes a great deal of physical and emotional pain but he has now learnt to block that... partially at least. Though should he ever take away the life of one who had a great bond with him the pain would be enormous. Usually he has to be touching the creation to take the life back, but with an energy boost or with a highly bonded one, the distance doesn’t matter.
At any time Raleigh can reconnect with his creations, making additions to them or merging them with others into a larger creature. Naturally this takes quite a lot of energy.
While Raleigh can use the pieces of animals, such as bones, skin and fur, there is an interesting twist. Any dead animal that is completely whole cannot be turned into a different creature; the life given into the body reanimates the carcass. These are categorized as ‘zombies’.
‘Zombies’ have no memories of past lives and are violent, almost uncontrollable, creatures. They constantly sap at Raleigh’s energy and remain connected with his mind, unable to function without his help. They should only be used in life or death situations.
It has been speculated that since dead animals can be brought back so could humans. Such as act is not only immoral but the energy required would probably take Raleigh to the brink of death. It will not be attempted.

The Creations
Yasuo: The first creation that Raleigh ever made. Quite simply in design, it looks much like a muscular, large dog. These days it doesn’t go into battle much anymore, being more a companion for Ra. But on occasion he will use him, usually warping him into something different. The bond between Yasuo and Raleigh is extremely high.
Mizaru, Mazaru and Mikazaru: The three ‘brothers’. Lanky, quick and dangerous. These long limbed, sharp-toothed fiends work together to bring down their prey. They often move as if they have one mind, knowing exactly what the other is doing and how they should react. They are Raleigh’s swift attackers.
Yamaru: A creation slightly larger than a horse and used as Raleigh transportation. It’s powerful legs excel at leaping and running. It moves fast and hits fast, capable of carrying Raleigh across a battlefield and keeping him safe from harm.

Family <3
Name: Hannah James
Nicknames: Ai
Age: 3
Star Sign: Um... when was she born again? Lemme pick a month. Er, hmm, um.... lemme think on this one.
Quick Personality: Cheerful and slightly demanding.
Deep Personality:
Ai’s most notable future is her big blue eyes that seemed to constantly be filled with a joyful sparkle; one look and a cute giggle from little Ai will usually get her pretty much whatever she wants. Raleigh is completely incapable of saying no when she turns on the puppy dog eyes. There a messy mop of straight brown hair on her head, which can usually be found up in little piggy tails. She’s got rosy cheeks and a fair complexion.
Hannah has everything a little girl could want. She’s an amazingly happy little three year old, who always has a smile on her face. You’ll never find her crying simply for the sake of it. If she’s hurt she’ll give a whimper, but it won’t last long, she bounced back from any little bruises within moments. A ball of energy she’ll run around the house completing whatever projects her mind can come up with.
Ai doesn’t like being alone. She hates being by herself, something she rarely has to deal with. If a person isn’t there, one of Raleigh’s creation will be watching over her with an eagle’s eye. She’s a definite people person. Hugs are her favorite things and she can be rather demanding in wanting all the attention and love for herself.
She loves her mummy and her daddy and her brother Sushi!

Family
Father: HOMG! FLASHCHARGE! XD
Mother: Ruriska
Brother: Raleigh (not blood related)
Siblings: None
---
Name: Ruriska James
Nicknames: Ruri, Ru, Rura
Age: 31
Height: 5'2
Weight: Ruri wouldn't tell the doctor. xD
Star Sign: Taurus
Quote: I'm extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
Quick Personality: Lazy, stubborn, quick tempered, over-protective, possessive, sarcastic.
Deep Personality:
This is a woman you either love or hate on first meeting. Hate is the obvious choice for most people. She?s intrusive, rude, has no regard for the feelings of others, blatantly direct to the point of being offensive, quick-tempered and incredibly lazy. It's no wonder that most people find her hard to handle. After all, someone you don't even know just suddenly remarking that you look really fat with that top on wont get too many ticks on the like section. But hey, it's not like she cares what you think of her. She hasn't had many friends in her lifetime and she doesn't need any now. Boyfriends are another matter but that's going off subject.
Ruriska does in fact have a deeper side to her and she cares deeply about a lot of things, not just herself as it seems on first appearance. It's just that she's a naturally suspicious person and it takes her a long time to warm up to someone. In fact, if Ruriska doesn't feel an instant click with someone she deems him or her not even worth her time. Ruri does have a bit of superiority complex. Nothing wrong with that... right?
This girl is certainly sure of herself and her own sexuality. She won't think twice about giving that cute guy her phone number. But unlike one might expect with a personality like hers she doesn't like going out and making a spectacle of herself. A party? No thanks. Staying at home on the couch is her thing. Hmm, yes, Ruriska does have a taste for the vices in life. She smokes, drinks and breaks the law on many occasions mainly due to her reckless driving. Work? Well, let's just say she dislikes it on a very deep level.
On one hand she's quick to snap and loose her temper on the other she's also very placid. One thing may send her into a rage while another much worse problem will just make her shrug. In tough times Ruriska is good at containing her own emotions and just getting on with things. What has to be done will be done, she's not about to squeal and fall to the floor in a faint of defeat. Ruriska will fight tooth and claw for what she believes in. This woman is a good friend to have if you can gain that hard to reach friendship. If you do manage it she's warm and generous, always there to lend a hand. In love she is the jealous type but as long as you keep your eyes of that pretty female at the counter she'll happily let you run around and do what you like. She's not attached to the hip of her man unlike some woman. Just make sure to be home by dinner; she doesn't like the meal she slaved over being ruined.
Ruriska does have a taste for vengeance and funnily enough has a remarkably odd sense of humour. She?s the type of character to sit in a cinema and laugh herself silly over the woman dying in the arms of her long-lost lover while everyone else is using up their tissues. That doesn't win her any points either. Movies such as 'Kill Bill' get a big rating. Swords and the opportunity for mass killing; what could be better? The news has a similar effect on her. She typically unaffected by all human suffering but if its weird and wacky enough it will have her in stitches, no matter how many people died. This may seem callous but unless the tragedy is happening to her it doesn't really matter. In her mind anyway. Of course if there's anything on the news about kids being killed she instantly feels anger and despair. It?s such a waste of young life.
Ruriska's first thought on taking Raleigh in was the benefit for herself but as each day passes by she grows more attached and she now realizes that she now loves this young boy who was so cruelly treated as if he had come from her own womb. It's a shocking feeling but she's embraced it and has become very protective over him, even if it doesn't seem like it as she lets him run off and do what he likes. As for the other people she's met... ?
Appearance:
Let's start with height. Ruriska isn't all that tall, but can still seem very imposing, especially when she opens her mouth. With a large range of expressions and body language she can express things easily, and when she gets flustered or annoyed its perfectly clear. Her movements can range from average-everyday person to suggestive, which when around a good-looking guy she tends to use a lot. Her skin has a lightly tanned tone that comes naturally, smooth to the touch. Her lips are full and her face is more on the long side rather than short but not to the point of looking like a horse, she is a rather good-looking woman if you can get past her personality. Her eyes are set deep, and of a light green hue surrounded by think eyelashes. Hair wise, she has long and sometimes straight hair. Full and brown it is sort of half-cared for and half-flying everywhere. Her eyebrows arch dramatically and are very thick. Body wise she has a rather straight shape until you get to her hips, which are rather plump. The only part of body that seems to hold any fat. She's on the skinny size but not to the point of seeming malnutritious. Her breasts are of a medium size, nothing to be ashamed about at all.
Ruriska walks with confidence, which could quite possibly be an act as she's a born actor. Her clothing style has a wide range and usually depends on what her mood is. Most of the time she wears casual clothes that aren't too baggy or too tight. Then again she has her moments of wanting to dress up and can turn herself into an actress (or at least snooty millionaire) look-alike. During those times she wears things sharp and too the point, Ruriska isn't in to added items. A few pieces of jewellery should do the job.
History:
Ruriska James was born an only child, daughter of a single mom struggling to stay aloft in the world. From an early age Ruriska had to learn how to work hard, but only because her mum needed her support, otherwise she was as lazy as all hell. Ruri never met her father and her mother refused to even talk about it except to remark that her father was a 'special man'. Whenever she said that a twinkle would appear in those luminous green eyes, leaving her daughter rather unhappy. No matter how much her mother appeared to like her 'father', Ruri still considered him a creep for leaving.
Living on the wrong side of town gave Ruri a rather sceptical outlook on life, but also gave her a sort of fearless nature. By the time she'd reached fifteen she didn't care anymore and spoke her mind openly and without reserve. Needless to say it didn't win her any friends, but Ruri had always been a solitary type of person. She also had a knack for staying alive. "Like a cockroach." Someone remarked to her at some point. Ruri had only shrugged and told them 'at least she'd be alive when everyone else was dead from nuclear radiation' or something along those line. She kept herself alive by doing whatever she needed to do, while keeping by her own moral standards.
Against all odds Ruriska gained a strong sense of pride that is rarely shown, mainly to do with her mothers tireless efforts. Her mother taught her to adapt to the challenges that were apart of life. Still Ruriska adolescence changed her greatly, making her selfish and quick to anger.
School was difficult for Ruri, she had neither the patience nor the inclination to sit in a room full of people that really didn't like her and learn things she was sure she wasn't going to need. Thus she left during her second year of high school. Her mother wasn't too happy but Ruri was adamant and was threatening to run away if anyone tried to make her go back. At seventeen Ruri was smoking and drinking regularly, as well as trying to get her learners. Five different boyfriends had come and gone, suprisingly enough, at that time Ruriska was still a virgin. She then lost her virginity on her nineteenth birthday to an older man she never saw again.
Leaving home she struggled to find jobs, and pay the rent. It was hard juggling those plus the numerous men that went in and out of her life. Having been given Raleigh she's found some purpose and much happiness in her life.
Likes: Reading, none-dead cats, bugging Charles, relaxing, flirting, sex, Flashcharge.
Dislikes: A lot of things. XD
Pets: A burmese cat called Samurai.
Family
Father: Unknown
Mother: Miranda James
Uncle: Martin James
Siblings: None
Daughter: Hannah 'Ai' James
Authors Musings:
Well Ruri is well... really fun! She was a bit of a sudden inspiration but I did base her personality on a number of anime characters, the main two being Misato from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Bulma from DBZ.
