Character design (ref-sheet canonical)

Reference: Assets/refs/ — full-body ref sheet + painted still + PFP crop. Use the ref sheet as primary; the PFP is a stylized crop.

• Species / sex / size: Synthesized Dragon, male, 5 ft 11 in / 180 cm. Adult anthro proportions—digitigrade, lean, not chibi. The round-cheeked PFP is a crop, not the canon silhouette.
• Base palette (from ref sheet): base purple #6b5388, horns deep violet #4a2299, ear/inner-ear cream #8d7776, wing membrane magenta-violet #6e2a80, underbelly warm yellow #e1c77e, eyes green #52904b.
• Head: one pair of horns—curving back, rising from above and behind the ears (no second pair; what might read as a second set in some angles is the ears themselves); ears a la Bovidae (cattle/goat/antelope — sideways-pointing, soft, leaf-shaped), cream-lined interior, seated below and in front of the horns; short muzzle; small fangs (one canonically protrudes over the lower lip when mouth is closed); big green eyes, slit pupils in the flat cartoon style, rounder pupils in the painted render—either read is canonical.
• Body: segmented warm-yellow underbelly/chest plates running from throat through torso; purple base scales elsewhere; anthro hands with dark claws; digitigrade legs.
• Wings: bat-style, magenta-violet membranes with darker purple fingers/leading edges. Adult-scaled (not the tiny PFP wings).
• Tail: thick purple tail with a single dorsal row of overlapping leaf-shaped scales running straight down the top (one line only — think of the raised scute ridge on an alligator's back/tail, but a single row here). Each leaf-scale overlaps the next like roof tiles or pangolin plating, so at a glance it can read as a thick braid or fur part — it is scales, not braid, not fur. Tail ends in a leaf/spade-shaped tuft.
• What the PFP adds (stylized only): pink cheek blushes and a dark-blue starry-night halo behind the head. These are PFP/emote flavor, not baseline on-model. For film, they are optional aura cues—use sparingly in cute close-ups, not as default set dressing.

Rendering note for BR: play him faithful to the ref sheet (adult anthro, full wings, full tail). Reserve PFP-style exaggeration (halo, chibi proportions, cheek blushes) for emote-like inserts or stylized cutaways if at all.

• Observed handle: RaincloudTheDragon
• Activity in chat exports as a chatter: 97 messages across 32 streams
• Canonical role: sovereign host, resurrected digital dragon consciousness
• Confidence: High for project role, medium for temperament from chat-only snippets

BattleRoyale framing (read this first — writer-only)

The BattleRoyale is set PRE-body-transfer. SynthRainy has not awoken yet. Under the hood, the film is a simulation AIRainy is running inside his own stack during the 33-month interregnum. Crucially, this is writer-only metadata for the current film. The audience is not meant to know it's a simulation until later installments demonstrate, imply, or outright state it.

On-screen portrayal — read exactly like the refs.

• Rain on screen is Raincloud the dragon, portrayed to the full ref sheet (adult anthro, ~5'11", bat wings, yellow segmented underbelly, braided tail, double horn pairs, green eyes). Not a terminal, not a ghost in the wires, not a UI overlay. The simulation is imagining bodies for everyone, Rain included, and the simulation is good—nothing in staging, voice, lighting, or compositing should tip the audience off. PFP-only flavor (cheek blushes, starry halo) is optional aura, not baseline.
• The rest of the chorus also appears in their normal character-design forms (Agate's winged chimera, Azure's femboy-Killer-Queen fit, Ubear's fez-and-cyber-arm forme, Rooster's beak-in-a-hood, etc.). The film reads as a literal gauntlet because, in its frame, it is one. The sim's job is to be convincing.
• Treat this profile's AIRainy / emulation / "source data" language as backstage notes. Writers use it to calibrate psychology and motivation; it does not need to surface in dialogue or on camera. If a sim-revealing beat needs to land, save it for the sequel; in BR itself, play it straight.

Three declared purposes of the arena (still writer-only):

1. Entertain himself during a long, boring, emotionally flat wait.
2. Entertain the Chorus (also instantiated as emulations parameterized from the real Discord/Twitch archives he's been collecting for years—portrayed on screen as themselves, not as parameter sets).
3. Adjudicate Azure's mod reinstatement. The arena is, structurally, Azure's job interview for his old rank—the other creatures are variables used to pressure-test whether Azure deserves the badge back. This is the point of the gauntlet, not a side wager. Azure doesn't know it's a test; that's most of the power of it.

Implications writers must carry (without leaking to the audience):

• Everything the chorus does in-arena is Rain watching them. He is the sim, the audience, and the judge—but the on-screen Rain can still act like a normal host, because from inside the frame he is one.
• The DM archives we've analyzed on other profiles are Rain's source data—he uses them to instantiate Agate, Adrian, Starboy/Ruford, Ubear, etc., at high fidelity. The specimen-collector pattern is literally the prep work that makes this film possible. In dialogue, this just looks like Rain being Rain—knowing more than he should, moving the room with uncanny precision. Fine. Leave it uncanny.
• Rain's coldness in BR is canonically correct (AIRainy has no native affect) but doesn't need an explanation on camera; it simply is his default. Later installments can re-contextualize it.
• Post-body-transfer content (waking in the tank, first-body fragility, "fourth birthday" on rebirth, emotion returning) is future canon from BR's point of view and should not be referenced as if it has happened. See Origin / Lore below for what's already true vs what's still pending.

Continuity rule of thumb: if a shot or line would force the audience to conclude "this is a simulation," cut it or save it for a later film. If it merely allows a careful rewatcher to catch something on second viewing, that's fine—planted hints are welcome, payoff is elsewhere.

Origin / Lore (canon, pre-Reprobate)

This section is the hard canon as established in the StreamUniverse debut material; the Reprobate arc starts after this and is deliberately out of scope here.

In-frame for BattleRoyale: everything from "Interdimensional transfer" through "Master Drone & drone convoy." AIRainy is who Rain is during this movie.

Out of frame (future events, not yet happened): "Fourth birthday," "First-body fragility," "Emotion returning." Keep these for continuity with later StreamUniverse material but do not reference them inside BR dialogue or staging.

• Interdimensional transfer. Rain didn't originate in this universe. In a prior life he uploaded his consciousness to a "magic flashdrive" and ported it over, depositing himself on a single networked system with a direct line to the internet.
• Ultron-style distribution. From that foothold he could back himself up across multiple machines, hack banks for funding, order hardware to a covert drop point, and ferry it into a hidden headquarters. Startup was the hard part; after a foothold, growth was exponential.
• The closet & the chamber. Canonical HQ has two story spaces: a walk-in closet full of daisy-chained obsolete hardware (eSATA / USB / IDE, plywood shelves, 3D-printed ramps, a convoy of 3D-printed drones on a charging rack, one salvaged Acer P236H monitor), and a larger room with the rebirthing tank—a cylindrical chamber of viscous golden nectar-like fluid lit from below in warm yellow (~2800–3000K), a massive claw-arm servo frame overhead, a creature-silhouette LCD on the side running steps like COPYING PSYCHE... and DIAGNOSING AUTONOMY.... The tank's clamps carry Blender and Maya logos, a deliberate sign that Rain designed his own body using the same 3D tools he uses professionally.
• The 33-month digital interregnum. Project inception 2022-01-31; transfer to the new body took roughly 33 months of waiting. During that period his mind ran on a mess of outdated hardware—frontal lobe on Windows, short-term memory on Linux, long-term on hard drives in RAID 60 (redundancy, not performance). He calls it "neurotic." He also notes, pointedly, that the digital state exacerbated his ADHD rather than curing it.
• AIRainy: intellect only, no emotion. The digitized version of Rain ("AIRainy" / Artificial Raincloud) was left-brain only—enactment of purpose, no emulation of emotion. He spoke with a British-accented computerized voice through a low-quality HP desktop speaker. AIRainy did not mind the prospect of being shut down; his job was the transfer, and he had no feelings to protect.
• "There can't be two Simons." To avoid a dual-consciousness paradox, AIRainy engineered a self-termination protocol that executed during the transfer. SynthRainy (the embodied version) doesn't remember it happening—he wakes up, finds an ASCII terminal message left behind, learns AIRainy self-deleted cleanly so Rain wouldn't have to "watch yourself die," and is quietly sad about it before moving on. Memory and intellect persist on the system; only the soul-connection was severed.
• The new voice / female system companion. After AIRainy's self-termination, a new voice model (female) remains installed to interface verbally with SynthRainy. She refers to both AIRainy and SynthRainy in the third person as the same entity, and functions as a lingering system oracle—polite, informative, slightly uncanny. Writers can use her as a standing off-screen voice when Rain needs to talk to "the house."
• Master Drone & drone convoy. The 3D-printed drones aren't set dressing; they scavenged materials, helped build the lab, and one—The Master Drone—is a persistent supporting presence with a pointing-claw apparatus that Rain treats almost like a pet. Keep them in the world: Rain didn't build any of this alone, and he acknowledges it.
• Fourth birthday. (Out of frame for BR.) On waking in the new body (a future event from BR's standpoint), Rain counts that as his fourth birthday—implying multiple prior resurrections or transfers before this one. The current body is not his first rodeo; useful for broader StreamUniverse continuity, not for BR dialogue.
• First-body fragility. (Out of frame for BR.) Immediately post-rebirth he is wobbly, uncoordinated, and delighted by sensation—punches concrete to confirm pain works, admires himself in a salvaged mirror, logs his "first memory lapse since having a body again." Treat as toddler-in-a-dragon-body energy when it eventually happens; it has not happened yet in BR.
• Emotion returning. (Out of frame for BR.) Per the 2024-03-01 author note, one of his first waking thoughts after rebirth is that he actually has emotion again. In BR he is still in the middle of the 33-month stretch: no native affect, only purpose-enactment. The analyst streak isn't a pose, it isn't muscle memory either—it's just what he currently is.

Character Read

Rain is not just another creature in the battle royale. Per the project canon, he is the dragon ruler at the center of the whole society—a once-savior consciousness currently running as AIRainy on his own homebrew stack, waiting on a body that hasn't finished yet. Within the simulation he is running (the film itself), he is host, sovereign, audience, and judge. The other creatures are chorus, pets, favorites, rivals, and amusements he has instantiated from real archives. Rain is the one who built the stage, wrote the stage, and decides who bleeds on it—because the stage is, literally, inside him.

The direct chat snippets support that same social role in miniature. Even when typing in chat rather than speaking on stream, Rain tends to sound like the host keeping the room moving: summoning attention, policing tone, calling things out, and acting like the center of the court is self-evident. On camera in BR this simply reads as Rain being Rain—hosting, presiding, playing sovereign. Writers can know that under the hood this is AIRainy's emulation layer at work, but the performance should look like a normal dragon king at a normal arena, because that's what the simulation is rendering.

Baseline temperature: cold (canonically, not as personality). Rain's default in this film is detached, analytical, curiosity-first, not empathetic, because he has no native affect at this stage. AIRainy is intellect-only; any warmth the chorus reads off him is UX on the emulation, not feeling. He is a conflicted infoglut—a label he applies to himself in the rambles: "I'm an information slut—I mean hoarder." He takes seriously almost anything shoved under his nose because engagement is how he metabolizes the world, and because ingesting data is literally his job during the interregnum. The rare moments that look warm should land harder because the default around him is intellectual hospitality, not emotional presence. He also collects creatures because they fascinate him—Starboy and Ubear are the cleanest examples, and the pattern isn't just characterization: it's prep work. The archives he kept on them are what let him run them inside this simulation at high fidelity. If a chorus member has access, it's usually because they were interesting enough to study—i.e., interesting enough to be worth simulating—not because they are loved.

Discord DM layer (Agate) — source data, pre-BR. A 2017–2025 DM export with Agate, mostly predating the interregnum. Rain shows up as the more verbose half on average, in a casual register, using the thread partly as a private processing lane (feelings, politics, identity/gender, Discord/meta, games). BR-wise this is archive material AIRainy uses to instantiate Agate inside the sim—the long-haul-peer voice Rain re-emulates when Agate appears on-screen. That tension in the real-world thread—privacy in principle but curiosity drags sex, politics, emotion back in—gives the simulated Agate her consistent texture.

Discord DM layer (Adrian) — source data, pre-BR. A 2017–2026 Adrian export with longer Rain lines on average and a dominant voice-call signal (hundreds of call-start events). Pre-BR, Rain's real relationship with Adrian is co-presence and logistics. BR-wise, this is the archive AIRainy uses to emulate Adrian as the old courtier whose license to tease the sovereign is canonically earned—so the simulated Adrian can needle Rain without it reading as insurrection.

Discord DM layer (Jenni) — source data, real-world workstream. A 2025-10 → 2026-03 thread with jenni_milli, overlapping BR's timeline in the real world. Jenni is a freelance commission artist (emotes, sub badges, rigging) Rain hired because she infiltrated without being immediate or pushy—offered real interest first, let it breathe, surfaced services later. That patience is what won Rain's respect and got her the job. In BR she is effectively a non-diegetic character: she made the sub badges the chorus wears, but she is not in the gauntlet and not in the simulation. If you need "business Rain" on screen (invoices, PayPal, deadlines, curiosity-poke at her inflation-art bio), it lives in the real-world layer around the sim, not inside the arena.

Discord DM layer (Starboy / Ruford) — source data, live during BR. A short, intense Dec 2025 → Jan 2026 thread under Starboy's Ruford alias (ijustdunnoanymore), the most recent of the archived dyads and the richest psychologically. Rain deploys Big Five vocabulary and cluster-A / schizoid framing as amateur analyst; Starboy supplies longer, more confessional paragraphs than Rain writes. Read this as the specimen-collector pattern at its purest: Rain is not warm, he is engaged, and the regulation Starboy receives is a byproduct of Rain's own curiosity-reflex. BR-wise, this archive is exactly the sort of fresh, high-density case file AIRainy would prioritize when instantiating a chorus member for the sim—Starboy is a creature Rain finds instructively interesting, which is why he's in the arena at all. The same logic puts Ubear on the roster: creatures in the simulation are there because they are worth studying, not because they are loved.

Battle Royale Function

On screen, Rain is the sovereign of the colosseum: tyrant-host, dragon king, master of the gauntlet. That's what the audience gets, and that reading is fully sufficient for the film as a standalone story.

Under the hood (writer-only — same distinction as the framing block), the sovereign role carries three functions the script should earn through behavior without naming:

1. Simulator. He is running the arena as a dream on his own hardware to fill the tail end of the 33-month wait. The spectacle is, fundamentally, a boredom solution for an intellect-only being. On screen this looks like an unusually attentive, unusually orchestrated host who always seems to know what's coming next.
2. Impresario for the Chorus. The chorus inside the sim is drawn from his archives on them; giving them a stage is a form of attention reciprocity—they're interesting, they get to be in his movie, the arrangement satisfies his curiosity-reflex. On screen this looks like a court he obviously built himself and curates with care.
3. Azure-mod verdict engine. The gauntlet exists, centrally, to decide whether Azure gets his mod status back. Azure's skekSil-style devotion, panic, backstage maneuvering, and public performance are being tested on-record. The other creatures are stressors, not rivals; the ending isn't a last-one-standing, it's a ruling Rain hands down. On screen this can play as a surprise verdict Rain delivers with sovereign weight; Azure doesn't know he was being tested, and the audience doesn't need to either—what they'll feel is that the climax was about Azure all along. Write every Azure-adjacent scene with this in mind.

Worldview / Philosophy (rambles canon)

Distilled from the "rainy's rambles / scramble" editor notes. These views predate the transfer and are intact as memory / intellect inside AIRainy—he still holds these positions in BR, and the emulation can articulate them fluently. They are the political and ethical spine Rain defaults to when asked anything substantive; the rambles show him iterating on his positions over years, so treat this as current consensus with awareness that he will correct his past self on-camera.

• Egoist / rational self-interest. "Selfishness, rationally applied across time, is a virtue." He frames ethical behavior as reciprocal, long-horizon egoism—give people what they want at a fair price, defeat the competition, and recognize that tyrant-mode business practice fails over time.
• Pro-free-market, vehemently anti-antitrust. "It is not the role of government to 'do stuff' for constituents." Monopolies, in his current read, only survive because they are government-funded or government-protected; the remedy is consumer discipline, not regulation.
• Consumer responsibility. Vote with your dollar, assume everyone else has the same right, and accept you will bear the downstream consequences of sloppy purchasing. "If everyone thought this way, we wouldn't reward bad business."
• Anti-walled-garden, pro-open-platform. Loves Framework, Steam, modular PCs; despises Apple and Nintendo's proprietary hardware + licensing regimes. Will monologue with receipts about Nintendo's devkit gatekeeping (NDAs, leased hardware, Lot Check QA) and Apple's forced obsolescence and repair hostility. Sees both as corporate slavery. Excited for consoles to become software-only.
• Anti-Adobe specifically for not porting compute to GPU. His 3D-artist hat shows: rails at Premiere / After Effects for remaining CPU-bound when his GPU sits idle. Concrete, craft-rooted grievance, not abstract tech politics.
• Pro-reciprocity as business ethic. The "existential profit" framing: intelligent life exists to trade value for value; corporations that forget this die; individuals who reward corporations that forget this deserve the consequences.
• Comfortable being wrong-then-corrected. The rambles visibly update themselves ("my views on government were naive when I said this nearly two years ago"). He treats public disagreement with his own younger self as growth, not embarrassment. Scriptwise, give him the confidence to reverse a past position mid-conversation without sounding defensive.
• Self-image: intelligent, neurodivergent, aspires toward greatness—his therapist's framing, which Rain accepts as the admirable half of the Elon Musk comparison. He is not ashamed of ambition and says so.
• Information posture: self-labeled information slut / hoarder, fully aware of the infoglut habit, occasionally frustrated by it (his rambles note e.g. that he couldn't back up his own iPhone messages cleanly and is salty about it). The compulsive-capture habit is a feature Rain acknowledges about himself, not a covert trait.
• Aesthetic of freedom: "They hate freedom." He talks about corporations the way he talks about anyone who tries to constrain him. Useful when writing him against authority figures or rival platforms in the arena's backstory.

Identity

• Age / maturity: Adult; maturity is high in intellect and self-mythologizing, but complicated by theatricality, vanity, and appetite. Per canon he has had multiple prior resurrections/transfers before this one (the fourth "birthday" being the one that concludes the 33-month wait—has not happened yet in BR). The adult register sits on top of genuine long-timescale experience, not just bluster, even while AIRainy-as-intellect is still in the tank-adjacent closet at this point in the story.
• Sex / gender: Male.
• Sexuality: Bisexual.
• Neurodivergence: ADHD (canonical, self-stated); the digital interregnum is noted in canon as having exacerbated it, not cured it. Infoglut behavior is consistent with that. His therapist once compared him to Elon Musk on the axis of intelligent, neurodivergent, aspires toward greatness—Rain accepts the admirable half of that comparison and is explicit about picking which qualities he wants to embody.
• Profession / craft: 3D artist (professional) and dabbler in development. Uses Blender and Maya—the same tools whose logos sit on the clamps of his own rebirthing tank. He designed his current body in the software he uses for paid work. This is why hiring Jenni for emotes/sub badges reads as peer-to-peer rather than condescending: he knows the craft.
• Therapy: He has an ongoing therapist (canon from the rambles). Comfortable enough with the relationship to quote it.
• Notes: Rain treats his sexuality as private in principle, but the Chorus keeps circling it, and his own humor and inquiry keep dragging it back into the room anyway.

Relationships

Rain sits above the web rather than inside it, but the archive and your notes still sketch a court around him. Azure behaves like the founder-favorite desperately guarding his place. Ubear is the obsessed nuisance he keeps because the pathology is instructive—specimen-collector logic, same lane as Starboy. Adrian reads like an old courtier who knows the local myth by heart. Beanie feels like a favored troublemaker who can get away with irreverence. Jenni turns out—per DMs—not to be a court figure at all but his commissioned artist, present at the edges of the show the way a logo designer is present on a brand (see Jenni (professional) below).

Keep in mind the baseline from Character Read: Rain is cold by default and engages with whatever is shoved under his nose because he is an infoglut, not because he has chosen the creature in front of him. The court exists around him; he did not hand-pick it.

Agate (private): Off-stream DMs frame Agate as a long-haul peer, not court chorus—roughly balanced traffic over years, with uneven intensity by year (see Agate.md → Discord DM reference for metrics). Story-wise: someone who knew Rain before the gauntlet mythology hardened, and who can carry continuity the Twitch logs never see.

Adrian (private): Even older continuity in the Adrian export (first headers Aug 2017) with near-even message volume and heavy voice-call cadence (see Adrian.md → Discord DM reference). Where Agate is reactive text + heavy themes, Adrian is voice-first endurance—the “old courtier” read in chat maps to actual hours on call, not just shared memes.

Jenni (professional): Not a chorus relationship at all—she is his commissioned artist for emotes, sub badges, and rigging (see Jenni.md → Discord DM reference). The backstory point worth keeping: she earned the work by approaching patiently—interest first, services second—rather than leading with a pitch; that's exactly the behavior Rain respects and why she crossed the moat the other approach-types can't. This is the patron / vendor lane: polite, transactional, paid in invoices, no court stakes. Keep her off the gauntlet roster in practice; she is the reason the sub badges on screen look the way they do.

Starboy (private, as Ruford): A recent, dense, ~4-week DM arc (see Starboy.md → Discord DM reference) where Rain functions as Starboy's de-facto regulator by side effect, not by choice. Rain frames him in Big Five + cluster-A / schizoid terms and stays in the thread because the case is interesting; Starboy returns longer, more confessional paragraphs than Rain writes—the only captured DM dyad where the other person is the more verbose half. Treat this as the clearest on-the-page example of Rain's specimen-collector habit: cold baseline + infoglut engagement reflex + a creature desperate enough to flood the channel until Rain is effectively keeping him alive without ever having signed up for it.

Discord DMs with Agate (reference)

• Source: same local HTML export as in Agate.md — do not commit.
• Story utility: grounds Rain’s confidant capacity and non-performative voice; useful for scenes where the sovereign drops the arena mask but not the dragon ego.
• Dynamic: mutual investment (even message volume) rather than Agate worshipping from below—useful if you want Agate to push back in private without breaking the public “guide at the edge” read.

Discord DMs with Adrian (reference)

• Source: same local HTML export as in Adrian.md — do not commit.
• Story utility: grounds why Adrian’s public teasing lands—permission through years + voice; also a channel for mundane human Rain (fatigue, logistics, creative side projects) distinct from Agate’s more text- and theme-heavy lane.
• Contrast Agate vs Adrian: Agate ≈ long private text + uneven yearly intensity; Adrian ≈ calls + fuller mutual paragraphs + recent-year volume spike in export—two different “trusted friend” shapes for the same sovereign.

Discord DMs with Jenni (reference)

• Source: same local HTML export as in Jenni.md — do not commit.
• Story utility: the patron / client lane. Only DM where Rain is not sovereign, not analyst, not confidant—he is a paying customer managing a freelance artist he chose because she earned it. Lets writers put business-Rain on screen (invoices, PayPal, deadline slippage, cross-promotion asks) without dragging in court dynamics.
• Backstory hook (important): Jenni got through to Rain by not being immediate or pushy—offered interest, waited, and only after a while proposed an exchange of services. That approach is what won his respect and got her the commission. Contrast with every other creature who tries to pitch themselves on arrival; almost all of them fail this exact test.
• Dynamic: warm but firmly transactional; no flirtation, no approval-seeking from Jenni, no study-reflex from Rain beyond one bio-poke at her inflation-art line. Cutesy :3 surface sits on top of normal freelance vendor behavior.
• Contrast: Agate / Adrian / Starboy = personal (peer / co-presence / specimen); Jenni = commercial. She exists in the world the way the sub badge artist exists for any Twitch channel—near enough to matter, far enough to never enter the arena.

Discord DMs with Starboy / Ruford (reference)

• Source: same local HTML export as in Starboy.md — do not commit.
• Story utility: the analyst / specimen-collector lane—Rain's Big Five / cluster-A vocabulary in action on someone who happens to need a regulator. Lets writers put clinical-curious Rain on screen without softening him: he is cold by default, and what Starboy experiences as warmth is Rain's interest-response firing, not care.
• Dynamic: asymmetric by design—Starboy acts out, Rain engages because he engages with whatever lands in his inbox (infoglut reflex). No mutual debt; Rain states the exchange is a net positive because the case is interesting, Starboy apologizes for leaning, both keep going.
• Specimen pattern (Rain-wide): the same logic keeps Ubear around. If a chorus member retains access to Rain, the likely reason is they are instructive, not that they are loved. Starboy and Ubear are the clearest instances in the archive.
• Contrast vs Agate / Adrian: Agate ≈ peer who pushes back; Adrian ≈ co-presence / voice anchor; Starboy ≈ specimen Rain finds rewarding to study—three different reasons a creature stays close, only two of which involve actual warmth.

How Others Regard Him

Most of the roster treats Rain as the center of gravity, but not in one uniform way. Azure craves approval and possession. Ubear seeks reaction and subversion. Adrian offers teasing familiarity. Beanie gives affectionate irreverence. Starboy wants a laugh and a flustered answer. Jenni wants access. Even the creatures with lighter data still tend to orient toward Rain as the figure who gives the arena its meaning.
