#rayner bartram

Shaking under the pressure of focusing all of her weight into a single crutch, she looked her directly into her eyes. ‘Briennan Nord is toxic. She is a master of manipulation. This isn’t good for you, Bella.’

‘Please.’

‘She can’t tell you the truth. Even if she does, you can never know. Even if she wants to, manipulation has become the very essence of who she is, and speaking to her will only harm you. Please, Bella, let’s leave this place.’

‘She’ll only tell the truth to me.’ Bella almost whimpered.

‘I’ll talk to her. Do you trust me?’  Chiara asked.

‘Yeah.’ Bella breathed.

‘Then let’s go.’ Chiara gently attempted to turn around with her one crutch, but ended up in in the arms of Rayner Bartram.

Chiara let go of Bella’s hand, and Rayner helped her steady herself again.

‘You need me to get a chair?’ he asked.

Yes. She thought.

Do they have a song that’s ‘theirs’?

Maybe? IDK, I’m shit at likening songs to my characters, I really am.

Which of them is considered the more responsible one in the relationship?

It depends. Rayner and people that are closer to him say it’s Lola, but Lola and people that are closer to her say it’s Rayner. It’s probably Rayner. If there’s one thing Rayner can do, it’s be responsible.

What are their thoughts on children, would they have their own (by whatever means), adopt, or not have any?

They made a baby through sex (even though they’re both asexual they decided to try diddling anyway) and they were talking about having a second child when Lola ‘died’.

What made them believe the other was for them?

How dorky they both are. How romantic they both are, while both being asexual.

If one did something terrible, would the other(s) stick with them?

Yeah, they’d work through it.

Which one(s) cried at the wedding (if they are married)?

Both of them; fucking dorks.

What social norms do they adhere to/break?

They are a happy couple but don’t have sex often. Rayner’s really gay but also genuinely romantically attracted to Lola (who is über feminine). They slightly break gender and sexual norms basically.

How would they each react if the other(s) died?

Do they struggle with any disabilities, physical or mental, and how?

Rayner Bartram is the closest of all members of the resistance to be able to actual pass both a physical and psychological evaluation. He’s still got some stress issues from all the trauma he’s experienced, but he’s pretty sturdy. The others really need him to help ground them while they’re struggling. It would be a shame if something were to / happen / to him.

What is their worst habit?

He loves too much; trusts too much.

Did they ever experience a major personalty shift, if so, what triggered it?

He got gayer after Lola ‘died’. Like literally gayer, he shifted down the Kinsey scale.

Have they ever spent time questioning their gender identity and sexuality?

Yes, to both. Less so on the gender, but he has spent a lot of time questioning his sexuality. He would probably identify as gay if it weren’t for the fact that he knows he was genuinely attracted to Lola.

If they do not have any kind of super natural abilities, what kind of powers would they have? If they do, how would they be different if they did not have those powers?

Rayner is a non-Forger. His personality would probably best correspond with Mindforging on a Forger personality quiz. Lola and Kimber with are/were Mind and Riftforgers, but weren’t identified until after their ‘deaths’, and Rayner didn’t know until way after their ‘deaths’.

What events have changed their lives?

The invasion. His family ‘dying’. The explosion. His death.

Are they a lover or a fighter (or both)?

Lover. Poor precious cinnamon, too pure for these worlds.
