Reputation

As Rachel Goldman, she has the reputation of a dropout of Northwestern University - a pretty and bright girl, she is so much wasted potential.

Rachel Goldman was an accident. A brief liaison between photojournalist Susan Goldman who was on assignment in Afghanistan and Michael "Deathblow" Clay of Team 7. Michael, wounded while on a Black Ops mission, found refuge in a church and met Susan, who helped nurse him back to health and they shared a night together before he disappeared again. Susan never told Deathblow of her child - and after Rachel was born, came up with the cover story that she had been adopted from an orphanage and raised her as her daughter.

Rachel had the normal life of a teenage girl in Chicago until she went to start her freshman year at Northwestern University. It was there that was called a 'routine' blood test turned out to be a testing by Stormwatch to find gene-active children that had not had their wildcard activated. When they discovered Deathblow's DNA in Rachel's blood, the president of the Midwest section of Stormwatch, Ivana Baiul, started her on the I.O. Enrichment program of injecting her with drugs under the cover of 'vaccines' for a trip outside of the country for a scholarship.

After Rachel's gene abilities activated, she was granted a scholarship to Caballito Island. Knowing that she could use every dime that she could get, she accepted the scholarship offer, not knowing that the 'scholarship' didn't exist and that Caballito Island was a secret Stormwatch training facility that Ivana Baiul was using to create her own goon squad, DV8 (Pronounced Deviants). Rachel, along with other teens, were trapped on the island and forced to work together - and did some things that Rachel would rather forget. At first called 'Roach' by her teammates, she soon earned the nickname Sublime.

Once trained and forced together as a team, DV8 was activated to attempt to hunt down the remnants of Team 7.

Unlike most teams, the Deviants tended to use more criminal tactics to get what they wanted. They indluged in their fancies and carried out ways to please themselves - mainly to forget that they were under Stormwatch's thumb and expendable pawns to Ivana Baiul who wanted her own superhuman team.

And Sublime may have been eventually okay with this life - if she had not learned the truth of her past. Arriving home at Christmas to surprise her mother, she was shocked to find Deathblow standing in her living room. Before she could attack, Rachel's mother broke down and told Rachel the truth of her conception - that Deathblow was not a 'target', he was her father. The proof of this was a lighter that Susan always carried with her that had Deathblow's real name and serial number engraved on it.

Conflicted by this confrontation of facts against the fiction that she had grown up with - she fled. She didn't tell her fellow teammates of this decision, fearing that they will be used to hunt her down.
As part of DV8, she was considered a weak link, part of a team that cared about what they were doing and always showed sparks of leadership.

As Sublime, she's a Black Ops operative that is acting under the former auspicious of Stormwatch and I.O.

Character Details

Rachel could be a natural born leader is she put her mind to it. Unfortunately her time in Stormwatch and as part of DV8 has made her cold and indifferent on the outside, much like her skin in it's diamond form. Having grown up in a middle-class household, she knows of a normal life, and she tries her best to continue to emulate that - even if she's on the run now.
