Name: Rai
Nicknames: Horseman, Devil Horseman, Lady Death

Race: Devil
Gender: Female
Sexuality:???
Occupation: Apocalypse prevention hotline
Alignment: Hero-ish. Not super black and white. She's scary and a bit cold, but good intentions none the less.
Face-Claim:
Powers:
Demon physiology- Rai's body is like most other Devils. Tough and can withstand the vast majority of worldly damage. Sure beating her down enough will stop an attack and slow her down, But it takes a lot more than it would take to maim a human to injure her. Should also mention this includes the fact that her body is technically a reanimated corpse. Poisons (unless silver based) do nothing to her. She also doesn't need to breathe, eat or drink and cold and hot conditions have no effect on her unless she's recently been struck by a silvered weapon.
With some exceptions (see silver) She can heal her wounds at will. Only problem is she can either be moving or healing. She must stop all movement and heal, which makes her look dead. (and gives enemies time to flee... or trap her. or harm her allies) The amount of time she will stay down if fully dependent on the damage received. She is strong enough to lift a semi but not more. fast in terms of reaction speed. She can't run super fast (thats grimora's job), rather her reaction speed is pretty fast. Rai also has a horrifying aura around her. As most devils do the area around her can feel uneasy and unsettling and sometimes even make people sick.
Horseman- Rai's status as one of the four horseman grants her the demonic mount, Grimorrah. He is large, intelligent and loyal to his rider. He also grants Rai the ability to travel through the rift where there is no overlap. The rift is like a crawlspace between earth and hell. It's how demons travel about but in some areas it ventures away from earth. There no demon can go in or out of earth or the rift. In overlaps entry and exit is free. However Grimorrah can jump with his rider from earth to rift with ease. However Rai must go alone and she has to allow Grimora to rest before she can jump back in the same spot she jumped in at, or she could travel to an overlap. He is also useful for travel (he can outrun cars) and battle (horse bites/kicks suck. Especially if the horse is huge and an utter asshole.)
Soul Reaping Scythes- Rai's blades are made from a horrible compound called remnant. Remnant is made from the dusted souls of mortals. They not only cleave flesh and bone, they cut to the very soul. Strikes can cut into what binds people to their lifeforce and throw it out of balances, giving victims of her blades and horrible sick feeling. She had two scythes and she can throw one and teleport to it for a better vantage point.
Weaknesses:
How to bring Rai down- Rai seems strong and can be intimidating with the horseman's one goal is to jump on your squishiest ally and make them unable to fight right off the bat. Some tips on how to defeat Rai:
*
Rai is a definite front liner, her looks are deceiving about how tanky she actually is. She is a solid bruiser that is capable of tanking physical damage and dealing back more than enemies can handle. She excels in 1v1 fights where she can stick on an opponent that cannot peel her off themselves. She gets in close and eats her enemy alive with a death by a thousand cuts fighting style. Her strikes are fast and precise as well as her footwork. She is a melee fighter that works well into ranged characters as she can get in so close their ranged abilities are challenged to keep up. The struggle in fighting against Rai is getting any distance between her and you as she refuses to allow an enemy to disengage and follows up with a harder engage. She is also incredibly good at cutting down tanks, especially the slow ones that rely on powerful strikes.
Enemies she struggles against are people of her own kind that get in close and actually fight her. Examples of this would best fit Lobo. She'd have the upper hand at first however he would eventually overtake her. She does the most of her damage in short bursts right off the bat but eventually wears down through long trades. Ganging up on her and focusing her down tend to yield the best results and getting her off the squishy ranged characters she loves to jump on will make her job difficult.
----- More weaknesses----
Silver- Mere contact with silver scalds her skin with a burn that heals like a mortal. Stabbing or shooting her with silver is deadly and could turn her to dust with prolonged exposure. If she has been injured by a silver weapon, she experiences pain as a normal human does until it is healed and her healing factor is interrupted.
Holymen- Preists, nuns, saints,rabbi she cannot harm the holy men of any religion and they may compel her to not harm people of their choosing. That being said if they tell her to leave she must. Exorcisms don't really work on her as she can't be expelled from the body she's in as it is now actually hers, but she can be forced to leave a room and forced to leave a specific person alone. This being said, this holy man must follow 100% of their holy duties. Any one unrepented sin for their respective religion and their power over her fades. Choose your priests wisely.
Copper- Copper doesn't kill, rather immobilizes and leaves her helpless with so much as a touch until physical contact is broken. Speaking and even twitching a finger takes a painful amount of effort. A good tool to subdue her.
Damage of great proportions- Sure things like bullets and things won't do much unless you have silver or a holyman's blessing, but cause enough damage of any kind you'll slow her down enough to give you time to escape. Remember, she must stop and go into a catatonic state to heal. If she is also speared through by something and her injuries cannot heal because the object cannot be expelled, she will be forced to stay in that catatonic state until someone removes it for her.
Soulless enemies- When fighting enemies like soulless creatures (zombies, robots, androids, ect) she has low visibility. They appear as inanimate objects and she cannot see them as well as she would an enemy with a soul.
Weakened humans- Rai is a good person, but her nature is horrible. Her nature tells her to kill and to consume human souls. She resists as it is not something she must do to remain 'alive' but it is always tempting. Humans when they are sick, injured, drunk, old or young or in any weak state are so tempting and so easy to steal she must avert her eyes as not to take it. She chooses to hide this as it makes her feel like a monster, which makes the line of work she is in absolute torture.
Disrupts Electronics- Her presence interferes with things like TV's showing static, phones losing reception, computers just deciding not to work. She has to be conscious of getting near any important electronics.

Personality:
Rai is an uncharacteristically kind devil. She is not evil and does not wish to fulfill her wrathful tenancies that she was manifested with. She doesn't wish to steal souls to satisfy her instincts. She finds humans amazing in their own way, and worth protecting. She wishes she could be human again. Rai loves human literature, art and anything that helps her understand their state of mind and their generally accepted morals. Humans are a subject of interest for her, creatures she studies intensively but also befriends.
That being said, she secretly sees her self as less than them on the moral spectrum. Yes humans are capable of horrible atrocities, but in her mind they don't know any better. It's like punishing a cat for catching a mouse. She doesn't blame man kind for doing things like mass genocide, war, ect, she blames that on their lack of knowledge of the repercussions. She severely underestimates that some humans are just evil... like demons. In short, humans, in her eyes, can do no wrong. Demons, angels and other immortal beings however, know better, they are immortal and ought to see when they are doing wrong and must be stopped.
Rai is surprisingly personable, physically unable to judge people based on their look, their wealth or their possessions as wealth means nothing to one who will outlive money's use, objects rot given time and she can only see souls. Most assume she is the typical, quiet, brooding demon. When in reality she is just listening, watching souls and assessing the human nature.
Likes: General human musings, good conversationalist, tea
Dislikes: Complete and utter idiots, demons, celestials, greater demons (with some exceptions), arch-demons, villains, things that are animate with no souls.
Background:
Rai's story begins with death. Jenna Harlow was a normal teenage girl who worked at a ballet studio working with small children. One day absolute tragedy took her life as she was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver.
Her parents were grief stricken as they buried their only child, and were unable to accept that dead meant gone forever. There had to be a way to bring her back, even through the most abominable of acts.They went to someone in Louisiana who claimed to be a voodoo priest and could do the deed and revive their dead daughter. Excited Jenna's father robbed his own daughter's grave and the pair traveled to Louisiana to let the priest do his work. What he did was not what he promised.
Instead of looking to help the couple out of the kindness of his heart, the priest was in need of a corpse as he planned to call up the greater demon, Valak from hell and unleash him upon the world. The process required one corpse and the sacrifice of two souls. Jenna's parents had unwittingly killed themselves to aid such an evil deed. But demon summoning is a lot like fishing. Those who know what they're doing are more likely to reel in the demon they want, but it's not fool proof. Instead of Valak, he got a devil far more powerful yet less cruel and the pressure she created when coming through the gates of hell killed the priest before he could send her back. Rai, he fourth horseman of death was pushed into Jenna Harlow's corpse against her will.
Being put into a human corpse does some rather strange things to an unsuspecting demon's mind though. She can remember Jenna's memories as if they were her own, and she remembers hell, so now Rai suffers from an identity crisis. She truly believes she was at one point human. Thus why she fully understands the struggles of the common human man and wishes to further aide them with her work on the Young Justice
