In addition to breaking mental bonds, Superior Rage can crush physical bonds: breaking out of mythical prisons, and sundering the strongest chains. She is a towering inferno, and utterly terrifying. And, more than that, she can wield Rage's signature lightning as her own.		Consumed by her Kaiju Form, Riley's connection to Rage transitions into '''Superior Rage'''.

			Rage:
			* Is representative of all 'negative' emotion.
			* Is the element of physicality.
			* Deals in belief and certainty*
			* Lords over lightning.
			* Can descend into madness.

			==== Rage ====

			Riley's connection to Rage is deep and fundamental. It's a fuel, a source of strength, an overriding imperative, and at the core of her being. As a skill, Rage allows Riley to ignore distractions, and act without hesitation even in times of doubt or crisis. It lets her break mental bonds, and function even in the face of overwhelming opposition. It is a terrible and fearsome thing, and Riley can use this to intimidate and browbeat. Finally, Riley is fundamentally linked to the metaphysical force, and concept of Rage. She understands, implicitly, the nature of Rage and those things that have a similar connection.

	'''Chat Handle:''' Riley's screen name is 'ace7egend'. She came up with it when she was seven - and while these days, she's vaguely embarrassed by it, she hasn't got around to changing it (and nor has she come up with anything better). To be honest, she's grown a little be attached to it after all these years. A more psychoanalytical soul might remark that her love/hate relationship with her pseudonym symbolizes the love/hate relationship she has with her heroic self.

	'''Capabilities:''' a destined hero, and heir to a legacy stretching back generations of McArthur's, Riley is stronger, quicker and more able than most people have any right to be.

	Roughly, she's three times as capable as the most capable of ordinary folk. She can clear 3m with a high jump, sprint about 90kph (for a few minutes at least - useful for running on water!), and is capable of dead lifting just shy of 1.5t; useful for carrying elderly horses from barn to field and back. Her senses are similarly sharp, and that's why Riley finds reading glasses comfortable when she buries herself in a book.		Roughly, she's three times as capable as the most capable of ordinary folk.

			=== Thematic Notes ===

			Riley has a very mytho-poetic view about some human concepts. This is partly her heroic upbringing, partly a result of her love of legends, and coloured heavily by her time with the Rats.
			* '''Heroes:''' Chief among these beliefs, Riley doesn't really see 'heroes' as people. Riley sees being a hero as being a responsibility, a calling or maybe a curse. She is a person AND a hero - they're not the same thing! This is a big reason why she worries about being a hero; she thinks being MORE of a hero will mean she'll become LESS of a person.
			* '''Rage:''' To Riley, rage is a serpent. Influenced heavily by the Rat's view of rage (informed by Typhon, the Snake of Wrath), Riley sees rage as a kind of...insidious thing. It nestles inside your chest, and sinks its poison fangs into your heart. When you get angry, you have to fight against the venom!
			* '''Fear:''' the only fear is Death - when you can't move forward anymore. Riley sees fear as the dead: the people she's killed, and the people she couldn't save. Everyone she feels responsible to: their hopes, and their dreams. She MUST keep moving forward...both to do them justice, and to stop them from catching up, dragging her down, and adding her to their number.
			* '''Restraint:''' restrictions are chains. And something Riley - as an impulsive, instinctive and naturally wrathful fighter - has layered herself in over the years. They weigh her down, and limit her potential for both great success and crushing failure. Thanks to all this self-denial, Riley hasn't seriously hurt anyone she knows in years. Though anger has a bad habit of loosening her shackles...

	Mentally, Riley is...not the brightest. She isn't dim, but she's not that witty. A very deliberate thinker, with a narrow, rigid (and perhaps fragile!) world view.

She isn't dim, but she's not that witty. Passionate and nominally very stubborn, Riley is a very deliberate thinker - with a narrow, rigid (and perhaps fragile!) world view. If Riley acts decisively, it's not because she's considered the course of action she's taking a good one - or because she's considered the consequences - but because she's acting on instinct. Despite this, she does possess a lot specialised skills relating to her structured upbringing:
			* Farming and animal husbandry: she knows how to grow and harvest crops, rear animals and more besides.
			* Adventuring: a survivalist, explorer and tracker with a focus on living rough in dangerous locales.
			* First aid, and very specific knowledge about critters, creatures, monsters and general anatomy.
