history
Being the first born Rain was born with naturally high expectations. Especially with a mother such as his, Alyssa Torin was a very commanding woman. How she ended up with the kind hearted man that was Dexter is a mystery in itself. But they claimed to love each other, and you know they do say opposites attract. SO maybe it made sense they got together and decided to have a baby, a baby by the name of Rain.
Growing up he was raised to use his highest potential. Name any of those things that supposedly "help" increase brain activity he can recall doing them. His mother wanted to be sure her son had a good future, not one like her younger brother. A writer or being an artist was not a career in her mind. So Rain hid his love of coloring, painting, and drawing. His mother was not one to take being defied lightly. In school he was a fairly average student, much to his mothers displeasure. The only place he truly stood out was in the art, his paintings being the talk of the art teachers. his mother didn't acknowledge him though and only pushed him harder to do better in more important subjects. His father reined her in when she pushed too hard but it wasn't much.
A big load was lifted off his shoulders though when his younger brother Quinton was born when he was in middle school. His mother turned her attention on his younger sibling, taking most of the heat off of him. So through middle school and high school Rain could focus more on the the the things he loved. he gained more attention from this, some good some bad. Most kids his age thought he was talented but more than a little odd. He never noticed too much though, he didn't need to be liked by everyone. One or two friends was good enough, a boyfriend here and there when he found someone he particularly liked. It was all in all not a bad life.
His mother was still disappointed in him, she made a point of telling him this. He had no future in art, he liked men and not women, he was scatter brained etc. She tried tried to control him but she was losing her handle. She by all means still had one but it was loosening. When he graduated and received an arts scholarship to Paris he all but jumped at the chance. Finally a way out! So what if he couldn't speak french, and it was far away. It was far away from his mother, he could paint without any worries of someone going through his stuff. It was his first chance at freedom and he was taking it!

general character traits
This young man is not one you'd see on the top of the social latter. He preferred being alone for the most part, he has only a handful of good friends and everyone else kinds of blends together in one big blob of society. He liked his privacy and if that meant few friends so be it. Rain is perfectly content with this , the majority people were boring anyway. He's perhaps a little judgmental for thinking this way but hey everyone was in their own way.
Rain is a very random boy on top of all other things, randomly getting inspiration or rambling off about some artist he really wanted to see or hear. He really has no off switch when you get him talking, he has a bad habit of forgetting other people tend to participate in conversations. People typically shrugged it off and tended to laugh at the odd boy, how he got so excited over little things he was much like a little kid.
