Rain

Background/History: Rain is one of the "three Storms", a trio of magicians/martial artists that function as Lo Pan's lieutenants. Along with Rain, the Storms consist of Thunder and Lightning. Between the three of them, they present a formidable fighting force who can easily decimate a small army, be they Chang Sings or the police.

Personality/Motivation: Rain's disadvantages (along with the disadvantages of all the Storms) are a bit skimpy. I've selected only the most obvious disadvantages for the character sheet, based on what was shown in the film, or what makes sense based on the material presented. Naturally, individual GMs might want to tailor the disadvantages and personalities to fit their campaign.

Quote: "You are nowhere!"

Powers/Tactics: As his name suggest, Rain's primary power is the ability to summon localized rain storms. We only see him use this power once, during the fight in the alley at the beginning of the film, but one gets the impression the storm that follows is all his doing. For further information as the the powers of each of the Storms, see Lightning's character sheet.

Appearance: Rain is fairly tall and thin, with long, straight black hair that falls past his shoulders. He usually seems to wear his hair in a top knot. Rain dresses in both a suit, or a more elaborate traditional dress, consisting of gray trousers and a loose gray tunic. Over this he will wear a cloak and broad straw hat.
