Addendum: Heritage Sports

// finally sat down and wrote out a (not entirely) comprehensive history of Rayn in sports! i've mentioned before that she's big into health and fitness - after all, she's gotta do something with all that energy from being cooped up in the city!

// enjoy the long list of things that keep her from beating the Muscle Mommy Domme allegations-

Fight Sports

Jujitsu (Judo and Aikido)

Taught to her in part by her maternal great great grandmothers, Rayn started learning a lot of her fight sports from the time she could walk. Judo and Aikido were no exceptions. Though initially her focus was on Aikido for self-defense purposes, after her stint in the military she went all in on mastering both. She currently holds a Red and White Dan belt in Judo, and Red-Striped Black Dan belt in Aikido.

Karate

Another sport she began early in life, and arguably her favorite of the fight sports, Rayn was always a little more enthusiastic about karate than Jujutsu, and she advanced quickly through the ranks up until the incident. However, much like Jujitsu, is was another fight sport she picked up again post-service to round out her close-combat skills. She currently holds a black belt in the practice and has a routine for it.

Boxing (Traditional and Bare-Knuckle)

Rayn developed a passion for boxing at a young age. Her father, Conan, was an avid fan of the sport and his enthusiasm passed down to Rayn with ease- along with soccer. However, unlike other sports, Rayn was allowed to practice on dummies but never properly learned the combative edge of the sport because her mother didn’t want her getting hurt. Years later, both during and after her military life, boxing became Rayn’s go-to in the gym. Traditional, bare-knuckle, and kickboxing; all of it became her way of alleviating excess energy and venting her frustrations. She’s gone through more than a dozen dummies and sandbags. The local gym owner fears her. That being said, she never went the competitive route with boxing either, and even watching the sport became sort of a mixed bag after learning about the intricacies of CTE.

Weapon Sports

Kendo

Another sport encouraged by her great great maternal family, kendo was a sport that Rayn primarily took up because her twin showed interest in it but needed a partner. Though she was actually quite good with a katana, she often preferred to be the padded dummy for Ryver to beat on as he built up his eye-hand coordination. Though her family was somewhat disappointed by her lack of enthusiasm, she still would sit in and learn the history and cultural importance of the sport and what it meant for their family.

Airsoft, Paintball, and Laser Tag

What started off cursory team-building exercises during her time with the FF developed into one of Rayn’s favorite outdoor activities. Though she vastly prefers laser tag, paintball and airsoft were fundamental sports to her learning how to handle various types of firearms. Her ability to assess situations, detect enemies behind cover, and identify pathing using physics made her a deadly sniper both in the court, and in the trenches. Though she doesn’t get to play it all that often, Rayn still enjoys the occasional run of paintball or laser tag— usually with Sushi’s twins.

Archery

A sport taught to her by her father and her paternal side, Rayn took quite well to archery. She enjoyed the feel of a bow and arrow and was consistently good at hitting her target— a prelude to her military career as a sniper. Though it’s not one of the sports she ultimately kept up with as she got older, she does still occasionally enjoy watching competitions of it. She also has her great great grandfather on her father’s side’s bow, and a crossbow from her father himself. They're family heirlooms she takes great care to preserve.

Competition Sports

Weightlifting

Weightlifting wasn’t something Rayn got into until her early 20s, when it became a pivotal part of helping her get through basic training for the FF. At that time, she was still recovering from losing a significant amount of weight and was trying to pack it back on as pure muscle. It worked, and she’s managed to keep up a solid routine to ensure her strength. Though she never entered the field competitively, she’s incredibly proud of the progress she’s made: her initial bench press record was 219 pounds. Her current record is 688 pounds — raw. Equipped, she breaks 800. Her leg press record is 2,314 pounds.

Surfing

Definitely her all-time favorite sport, Rayn took to water from a very young age. The first thing she learned besides her name was how to swim, and with that, how to surf. Both her mother and grandmother wanted her to know how, both for safety and as a matter of cultural preservation. Rayn made her own board, tended to it, and learned to start riding at just 3 years old. By the time she was old enough to compete in competitions, Rayn was easily scoring gold against full grown adults who’d spent decades in the water. Her grandmother often said that she had a sixth sense for knowing the water.

Swimming

As mentioned, swimming was the first thing Rayn ever learned to do. And much like surfing, she was damn good at it. Her father often joked that she took to water more like a fish than a wolf, and her strength for swimming and diving while avoiding danger made her a solid candidate for junior swimming races. Aside from Sushi, there wasn’t a single other kid who could compete with her.

'Ulu Maika and Bowling

Another sport introduced to her by her older maternal side, 'Ulu maika is a traditional Hawaiian sport often described as a form of ancient bowling. It involves underhanding a heavy circular discs and rolling it across a long flat plane to see how far it will go, typicall with the goal of passing a threshold marked by two stakes. It was more of a seasonal sport growing up, but one that she greatly enjoyed. She's always been good at eye-hand coordination and physics determination, and as she got older, that translated into her really enjoying bowling as a pastime sport. It was mostly something she shared with Ken and Sushi, though after losing Ken she hasn't had the heart to pick it back up.

Horseracing

Primarily taught to her by the older folks of her father’s family during a cowboy phase, Rayn was never good at riding horses - let alone racing them. Being so small and being around animals so large made her nervous, and so the horses got nervous too. Though she managed to get on a horse’s back once, it bucked her off without warning and left her very distraught. Suffice it to say, she gave up the dream and her cowboy phase died with a whinny. Later, after joining the police, she was initially scheduled to be a mounted unit riding horseback. However, her position was quickly changed once they realized that the horses were just as terrified of her as she was of them.

Track and Field Racing

If there was one thing the Wilders could do, it was run. Aside from swimming and surfing, racing was Rayn’s greatest accomplishment sports-wise. With her brother, with her dad, with her mom, with her younger siblings — suffice it to say she was a track star. And very likely, she could have gone professional had her life not been interrupted. Still, even today Rayn enjoys running and frequently tries to participate in marathons and even runs for charity. Though mostly, she does it as a way of releasing energy. It’s not easy being a wolf in a city but a treadmill certainly helps.

Gymnastics (Diving, Acrobatics, Tumbling, and Parkour)

Having stemmed originally from attempting ballet (and quickly realizing that she hated it), Rayn got really into gymnastics. Already having developed a strong sense of flexibility and keen reaction timing, she initially started with diving before moving onto tumbling, then acrobatics— including flying acrobatics with silk. She competed briefly in a junior league for diving specifically as part of a routine for competitive water sports. Her job has taken the more practical route of utilizing parkour and tumbling more than anything, and though she’s not doing so much as far as performances go, she still makes sure to practice with her silks from time to time. On very rare occasion, she offers to perform as part of charity shows or events.

Team Sports

Soccer

A staple of her household on both sides of her family, Rayn and her brother Ryver both got into soccer at a young age and played it competitively up until the unfortunate derailment of their lives. They were very good at it too. Between their speed, reaction times, and ability to coordinate effectively, the two were a deadly duo on the field and frequently outmaneuvered opposition in a manner that often left other teams with a score of 0.

Baseball

Another one of the few sports both sides of her family aggressively hyped up, Rayn went into baseball alone. Her brother enjoyed playing recreationally, while Rayn went all in on the competitive side of the sport. Much like soccer, her coordination and speed made her a monster on the field. And also like several other sports, she may very well have become a professional ball player had she'd not been thrown off track. All the same, she's still a fan of the sport overall - though she doesn't get pulled into the idea of favoring particular teams or players. She just likes baseball!

Lacrosse/Stickball

Introduced to her by her Choctaw relatives on her fathers side, Stickball was the foundation of modern-day lacrosse and operated in much the same fashion - using netted ticks to toss a ball into the oppositions goal without touching the ball themselves. Again, she excelled thanks to her coordination and speed, but overall she didn't enjoy the sport as much as baseball or soccer. It was mostly a game she played during holidays and gatherings with her cousins.

Chunkey

Another game her indigenous family members enjoyed was Chunkey. It was played by rolling disc-shaped stones across the ground and throwing spears at them in an attempt to land the spear as close to the stopped stone as possible. Rayn loved it, and looked forward to playing it every gathering - primarily for the rolling and throwing aspects. Among her family, her record for distance and accuracy are unmatched.

It was never just a game to her. It was her life. It was everything she’d ever known. And in an instant, it was gone. She doesn’t even know how it happened or why. She never solved the case. And maybe she never will.

But that doesn’t matter, because right now she has a new case to worry about. Her and the handful of survivors from her agency and her contacts that survived the ending of their world need answers. They need to find out what happened, what triggered it, and how — if possible — to bring their world back to finish what they started.

It is a seemingly endless uphill battle. The chaos never sleeps.

Luckily, neither does Rayn.

Old Pro-Hibition: Lackadaisy Verse

St. Louis, 1920:

Despite the bustling growth of the city, it’s a bad time to be a wolf. The Wilder family is one of wild diversity; wolves immigrating from all over trying to find a fresh start on new soil. But it’s a cat’s world out here, and if it isn’t the lingering anti-canine sentiment, then it’s the lingering hostility towards natives, mixed, and Irish throwing up walls for her family. Fortunately, their luck turns in the most unexpected way.

The passing of Prohibition laws hits the city hard. Local breweries and pubs shutter by the dozens as alcohol becomes an illicit commodity. Yet, amidst the rapid dry-up on the city’s surface, Rayn’s family stays well afloat by tapping in on the new thirst. Using her paternal side’s old tradition of procuring and producing their own quality alcohol, her family manages to secure their future by partnering with Atlas May to become a major provider of in-house drinks for his underground speakeasy — Lackadaisy.

For a time, things are looking up. Their business with Atlas provides them steady income and reliable protection in a world that would rather see them hunted than as equals. But all good things must come to an end. As the thirst for booze rises, so does competition. In one night of fire and bullets, Lackadaisy loses its founder, and Rayn loses her family. The whole operation is put in jeopardy, and the remaining children of the family disappear without a trace.

Years later, Rayn has returned to the city - not to continue her family’s legacy of bootlegging, but as a skilled detective determined to find out what happened here; for Atlas and her family.

General headcanons for this verse (can be adjusted/changed for plotting purposes):

Rayn has very distinct memories of being targeted for being a wolf in a cat’s community. For that reason, she stuck to mostly hanging out with her siblings and bear friends. Though I can also see her having been in decent/friendly terms with Ivy.

Rayn’s family were largely considered outcasts, both because of the fact they were wolves and also because of their mixed race status. They were indigenous, Hispanic, black, and Irish - basically everything America hated at the time. Even after their connection with Atlas became apparent, not much changed.

Rayn’s father, Conan, was something of an old friend with Atlas. The two served together during the First World War, and Atlas was one of VERY few cats who not only respected the family, but was actively friendly and engaged with them, both for business and personally.

Prior to Prohibition, Conan helped Atlas with managing his inventory and trade of liquor for his businesses. Post-Prohibition, Atlas hired him to be a full-time in-house procurer of various alcohol for the speakeasy.

Rayn would often assist her father in making and running alcohol, though she rarely engaged with the Lackadaisy crew outside of Atlas and sometimes Mitzi. In turn, she became something of a niece to Atlas, and he’d spoil her whenever he could.

Conan and Atlas had discussed that if anything ever happened to their family, Atlas would take in his children and keep them safe. However, after the death of Atlas and the Wilder family, Rayn and her siblings went missing and couldn’t be found.

It’s unlikely that most, if anyone, would recognize Rayn after her return. For one, she looks very different from when she was younger. Out of anyone, it’s likely that Ivy and Mitzi might recognize her.

Rayn can make alcohol based on her father’s recipe. And it’s DAMN good drink. But she doesn’t make it for just anyone.

Additionally, Rayn can sing, play piano, violin, and loves blues, jazz, and swing. But again, she doesn’t perform for just anyone.

Her current preoccupation is with uncovering evidence about who killed her family and Atlas. Though she’s not opposed to taking in detective work for other cases. Or running a bottle or two for old time’s sake.

OLD GODS: TOTEM

THE WOLF

In Finnish folklore the wolf is mostly feared and loathed. It is a powerful beast worthy of respect, an animal loyal to its pack but also a traveler of its own path. The wolf may give guidance to those who want to stay true to themselves despite what others think. It may also offer aid in choosing who to let in your pack.

SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN (2026) SENTECE STARTERS

❛ What I didn’t expect is that when you lose a lot of blood, you can actually feel euphoric. ❜

❛ I think that children can inexplicably exist in a third dimension or at least remember their past lives and, I don’t know, maybe even the future. ❜

❛ I hope our kid comes out like you. ❜

❛ Are you sure he’s the one?❜

❛ No pressure marrying the favorite child. ❜

❛ Oh, we were just talking about you, and you appeared out of thin air. I told you I can summon things. ❜

❛ Come meet your new family. ❜

❛ Did you know there’s something evil living in these woods? ❜

❛ I stabbed a guy at the dive bar. With the car keys. He was super fucking creepy. ❜

❛ I do feel sort of like I’m having déjà vu but, not the good kind. Like I feel something so familiar, and I don’t know how to describe it except just dread. Like when you just know something bad’s gonna happen. ❜

❛ We won’t be seeing much of each other anymore. ❜

❛ You have always been someone who sees with his soul instead of his eyes. ❜

❛ Time is an unstoppable force. And it will do whatever it can to destroy you. And ultimately, it will win. ❜

❛ It is up to you now to protect the soul in front of you. ❜

❛ Marriage is a powerful merging of souls. It’s like being sewn together. And in the wrong union, it can feel like being chained to a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean. But in the right union, it can feel like immortality. ❜

❛ Cheers to immortality. ❜

❛ Do I adequately protect your soul? ❜

❛ You don’t know anything about what’s going on here. ❜

❛ You know how family is. Oh my God. Oh, I completely forgot. You don’t have a family. ❜

❛ Must have been so, so difficult going through adolescence without a mother. ❜

❛ A mother absorbs her children and vice versa. ❜

❛ I’m so, so, s… so, so, so sorry. Because of what this will do to you both. ❜

❛ Something weird is going on. ❜

❛ There’s this bride-shaped hole, and they just need a body to fill it. ❜

❛ They want to, like, sacrifice me to the fucking devil or something. ❜

❛ We have been planning her death for a few months now. ❜

❛ I think you’re exactly what this family needs. You’ll keep us honest. ❜

❛ Let’s postpone the wedding. ❜

❛ Maybe we don’t want to get married under these circumstances. ❜

❛ This is my dumb apology for, like, tactlessly unearthing your family secret. ❜

❛ You thought we were gonna kill you? No offense, but that’s kind of an insane conclusion to draw. ❜

❛ Did someone try to kill you once or something? ❜

❛ I do have to worry about it. Because you’re not worried, and someone has to fucking worry. ❜

❛ It doesn’t go away if you close your eyes real tight. ❜

❛ You didn’t just suddenly exist. You came from… somewhere, and when you die, you will leave somewhere behind. ❜

❛ You shouldn’t sleep in the bathtub. ❜

❛ What about me soaking quietly in a bathtub makes you go, “Let me come in here and stab him over and over again with a toothpick till he bleeds to death.” ❜

❛ Oh, baby, you want nice? You should have married the other one. ❜

❛ But that’s the thing, you don’t want nice. Because I hate to break it to you. You’re not actually nice either. ❜

❛ Say it. Or drown me. ❜

❛ You need to deal with your shit, yeah? Because things will start slipping away all around you. ❜

❛ Are you who you want your son to be? ❜

❛ Baby, sometimes I fantasize about hiring someone to kill you. ❜

❛ Okay, how do I call a family meeting? ❜

❛ You don’t take compliments well. ❜

❛ It’s kind of a bad omen to get married during a death ceremony. ❜

❛ Good thing I haven’t had this awful feeling ever since I got here that something bad is gonna happen. ❜

❛ It’s just, I feel like I’ve been here before. ❜

❛ I’ve had dreams about this place. Like this room, this exact room. ❜

❛ You are not going to die because you’re getting married. ❜

❛ Why would you show me that? ❜

❛ You lied to me about everything! ❜

❛ Oh my God. Stop. You’re a fucking crazy person! ❜

❛ Tell me you don’t feel it too. Tell me you feel hunky-dory. Tell me you feel like everything’s fucking… peaches and butterflies. ❜

❛ Did you feel it when you got closer to this place? Just… dread? Fear? ❜

❛ You are going to die if you marry him. ❜

❛ I did it, all of it, to protect you. ❜

❛ Death loves a bargain. ❜

❛ Death has been following you. Turn around. He wants to get a closer look. ❜

❛ When you are immortal like me, you miss the threats of Death. It makes things interesting. ❜

❛ You are not letting me go. I am not yours. Okay? I’m already gone, and you can’t fix it. ❜

❛ Do you believe in curses? ❜

❛ You are the one person for me. You are the one. ❜

❛ Your soul…It’s so pure and perfect. I’m never gonna let anything happen to it because your soul is mine, and mine is yours, okay? ❜

❛ My mother told us the best thing you can do before you decide to marry someone is go through something traumatic together. ❜

❛ Has anyone died in front of you? ❜

❛ I mean, if there is such thing as a soulmate, then, yes, [name] is my soulmate. ❜

❛ This can’t be your burden. ❜

❛ It’s not a fake monster story. It’s real fucking horror. ❜

❛ It’s fine that you don’t believe in it. But I saw it with my own eyes. ❜

❛ Your soulmate’s a liar. ❜

❛ Want to talk about fate? How about the way you and I met? ❜

❛ I think I just saved your life. ❜

❛ You lied to me about so many things. ❜

❛ I am not a fucking adventure for you to go on. ❜

❛ Maybe I shouldn’t have saved your life that day. ❜

❛ Oh my gosh! She is so mean! She looks poor. ❜

❛ I need a favor. It’s illegal and weird, and you can’t ask me any questions. ❜

❛ I assumed I was helping you run away or fake your own death or something interesting. ❜

❛ It’s still breaking and entering if you steal a key. ❜

❛ I am glad to see that your sense of humor has not run off with your fiancée. ❜

❛ There are no signs from the universe. It’s just you taking something that happened and then deciding which details are important and which ones aren’t, and then deciding what it means. ❜

❛ Wanna talk about real shit? This is the end of how things are. ❜

❛ Soon, we’re gonna have a decision to make. Let each other go or find a new reason to stick together. ❜

❛ I’m sick of this family treating me like a child. It’s fucking with me. ❜

❛ You have to admit you do have trouble accepting things. You can’t accept imperfection. ❜

❛ The problem is that you contextualize every little thing around yourself. ❜

❛ You’re drawn to stories, not people. ❜

❛ Just be careful. I don’t want you to ruin everything like you usually do. ❜

❛ How do you smoke that all the time and not get paranoid? ❜

❛ God forbid anyone’s honest around here. ❜

❛ I don’t say this lightly. You’re really, really, really lucky to have me. Because I know how to summon the dead. ❜

❛ This curse thing has completely bent your reality. ❜

❛ It’s your last night of freedom. Do whatever you want with it. ❜

❛ There is no such thing as bad luck. Only bad decisions. And this is one of them. ❜

❛ She made me summon the devil to see if she was your soulmate. ❜

❛ I am walking down the fucking aisle into his arms, no matter what. ❜

❛ It’s a ritual, and we have to do it, and then everything’s gonna be okay. ❜

❛ I’m a medium-bad person, and when I think about it, I’ve actually always known this, and this is an opportunity for me to fix it. ❜

❛ You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person. ❜

❛ So I’m gonna do it, and you’re either gonna help me or you’re not, but I’m gonna do it. ❜

❛ This will not be a tragedy-filled wedding. ❜

❛ Do you think this is the only way to survive? ❜

❛ I will not let you turn this wedding into some devil-worshiping party. ❜

❛ What do you want my blood for? ❜

❛ It’s true what they say. No one escapes the three rings of marriage. The engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering. ❜

❛ Would you have changed yourself irrevocably to turn into my soulmate? ❜

❛ Can we get back to the part where I don’t die? ❜

❛ Everything’s gonna be okay, because I’m going to change. ❜

❛ I don’t want anything about you to change. ❜

❛ It’s like, yeah, you might be cursed, but I’m pretty sure I’m evil or something. ❜

❛ We were so good before we got here. ❜

❛ So, you believe me, right? About the curse? ❜

❛ The only certainty in life is death. ❜

❛ I have nothing to worry about, because you are my good luck charm. ❜

❛ I understand you now better than I ever have before. ❜

❛ Marriage destroys people. ❜

❛ I don’t want our relationship to change. ❜

❛ Let’s just get the keys, get in the car, and drive. Fuck all this. ❜

❛ You were supposed to take the leap of faith with me. ❜

❛ I just refuted my family’s whole value system for you! ❜

❛ That’s not a reason to get married. It should be because we love each other and we believe in that. ❜

❛ Our whole relationship revolves around you. ❜

❛ It’s always me reassuring you that everything’s okay, even when there’s literally nothing going on! Because you think something’s always out to get you, so I’m always tiptoeing around your sensitivities. ❜

❛ Every little thing is just an exhausting puzzle with you. Nothing is easy. ❜

❛ You’re a really hard person to love! ❜

❛ You loved me? Do you not love me anymore? ❜

❛ Do you not believe in the curse? ❜

❛ I think both of us have been cursed in our own ways by the systems that raised us. ❜

❛ You don’t let me think independently of you! You don’t accept it when I don’t share your exact perspective. ❜

❛ What you do when you love someone is you believe the person that you love. That’s what trust is. ❜

❛ You chose a version of me a long time ago, and that’s all I am. ❜

❛ I’m not gonna fucking die for him. ❜

❛ I’m not gonna betray myself for you anymore. I deserve a second chance. ❜

❛ I knew that bitch was satanic from the second I saw her. ❜

❛ I don’t know what my life looks like without you. ❜

❛ I’m so sorry that this happened to you, okay? But remember that… it did happen. So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. ❜
