Rift the Eagle is a golden eagle who currently lives in Metropolis. Born in the hidden settlement
== Appearance ==
== Personality ==
Rift is your typical young geek, always found either listening to some form of music, tinkering in his lab or reading a book of some sort. Despite his love for his hobbies, his tenure in the resistance in his timeline has allowed him to become more outgoing and sociable - a must for when working as a team. Despite usually being relatively easy going - a childish excitement tends to shine through when discussing things that he's passionate about, indirectly flexing his intelligence on impulse when a conversation arises. Because he was raised by the 'old ways' of the Babylonians - Rift is also capable of using his intelligence to be very deceptive and crafty - and can be especially dangerous when it's used in conjunction with his powers.
== History ==
Rift was born in a secret Babylonian settlement in the mountains - and from a young age all he really wanted to do was travel the world. As he grew up in the ways of the Babylonians - gaining knowledge in technology, piloting and self defense - he eventually gained a job working as the assistant to Docter Hurricane the Hawk (simply referred to as Dr Cane). Due to the misinformation that bled through the history of the Babylonians from generation to generation - Dr Cane believed that the Babylon Gardens would never rise again and decided that the best way to allow the Babylonians to achieve their dreams of returning home - he would have to create a device that harnesses the power of Wormholes - similar to the Arks of the Cosmos. One day, during his various experiments, he managed to draw wormhole radiation (which he nicknamed 'Nexus Energy' into his new device - however it could not contain it and the energy burst outwards. The energy binded itself to Rift - granting the eagle newfound abilities.
Now charged with his new abilities - Rift left the settlement hoping to take on new adventures and eventually raise up the Babylon Gardens....little did he know - that had already been done.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Nexus Abilities ===
Due to the accident at Project Locksmith, Rift has gained the ability to manipulate Nexus Energy, a form of space radiation that is responsible for various phenomena in space such as Wormholes and Blackholes. It's even theorized to be the energy that channels through the Arks of the Cosmos by Dr Cane - or at the very least a parallel energy. Rift can use Nexus Energy to enhance his punches and kicks - providing a shocking touch to his attacks. However, he primarily channels his energy into using various techniques. 
* Nexus Warp: Rift has the ability to open Dimensional Rifts which can transport people and objects between two different locations. The sizes can be altered given the situation. If placed against a wall - it can lead to the other side also.
* Nexus Rotation: When Rift opens a portal - he has the ability to adjust its rotation which allows him to either draw objects and people towards it - or blow people away from it as well.
* Nexus Cannon: Rift rotates his portals in opposite directions - causing the entrance portal to suck and the exit portal to blow. This causes any object or person that's sucked into the portal to blast out of the other end at an enhanced speed.
* Nexus Twister: Rift places a portal down on the floor and then rotates it at a high speed, causing it to form a tornado that can either suck enemies in or blow them away.
* Nexus Tag: Rift is capable of drawing dimensional tags using an energy infused finger. The tag can act as a beacon for Rift to open a long distance portal towards.
* Nexus Shift: Rift can use the Nexus Energy within his body to propel him in any given direction as a form of energy dash. He travels about 8 metres in just over the blink of an eye. 
* Nexus Burst: Rift thrusts his hand in front of himself, briefly charges up his Nexus Energy, and then unleashes it in a large area in front of his palm.
* Nexus Blast: Similar to the Chaos Blast, Rift's eyes glow a sharp yellow and his body begins to crackle with Nexus Energy before it explodes outwards in a radiant burst.
* Nexus Sense: As an innate ability, Rift has the ability to perceive the dimensions (e.g. length, height, and width), distance and general positioning of objects within a given radius (usually around 30 metres or so) through concentrating. It acts as a form of 360 degree radar for him, allowing him to detect things in a room that are outside of his field of vision like hidden doors - or the contents of vaults. His Nexus Sense also allows him to sense things that are from different dimensions.
