What if, in an AU Universe....She was going to be different? What if instead of conquering she was going to defend? What if...her life played differently from the beginning? This is my version of Rain Silves, the legendary official character in both the Vilous Universe and Project Animalia


(Notice, Rain and the Sergals are the creation of Mick39! Credits at the end of the story :3 )




Here is my take and AU story, of:




Rain Silves


Rain „Dakota“ Silves was born in 1992, in Silviria, the Capital City of the Shigu Republic. She was the second child in the famous Silves lineage, with her older brother, Johnatan Silves being only 5 years older than her. The „Silves Family“ ,was and still is an Influential Family living in the Shigu Region, that will later help young Rain become the Great General she is known around Animalia. Her family took great care of her and her brother and in their early years, and her parents managed to educate young Rain very well and inspire her to join the Shigu Army by the time she came of age. In the following years, her mother, also gave birth to 3 other siblings.

With the birth of her Siblings, in the year 2002, she was transferred to the Shigu Military Academy and in the following years, she attended the elementary schools around the academy.

When she was 15, in 2009 and growing sick of the bullying she faced at the Shigu military academy, because of her appearance (golden eyes, blue fur, tall silhouette), her parents were forced to send her to Adleria in an attempt to help Rain finish her studies. Once in Adleria, she was surprised to see that everyone at the Academy in Adleria managed to actually help her, and all the bullying ceased as she started her study. During this time, Rain met and fell in love with Alexis Fox, a male red fox that was promoted to Captain by the time of the 5 year war.

When she was 17, In 2012 the two planned to marry once they came of age. In a day, while relaxing with the Captain far from the academy building she witnesses the destruction of the largest Adlerian Battleship, the „S.s. Lion“. With the attack on the Adlerian Navy, and as Lupinia declared war on Adleria indirectly in 2012, the Shigu began the preparations for war. It didn’t take long for her father to come and take her by force to attend the military service in Shigu.


Sad, and heartbroken, she swore to destroy Merryweather and return to him, promissing him that she will be the one to end the war early...


Once in Shigu, in the same year she began her first military missions. Her most notable operation was „Operation Hope“. With 13 newly developed HTD-49 with 200mm HAG, Rain defended her family and the Capital city of Silviria. After the success of her armies, she was awarded the rank of Captain for a small army. Despite the army she was given being very underprepared, she decided to train them in the most efficient way possible to fight the attackers. Later, she was asigned under the command of General Kal’jar. Unfortunately, he gets injured in action and is forced to retire for the duration of the war. Rain saved Kal’jar’s Life and soon was awarded the Rank of Commanding Captain, and the General’s award, giving her the unofficial rank of Junior Commander, at the remarkable age of 18 years old.


Commanding her army, throughout Oasis and scoring key victories for Shigu, by the request of the high command, she was granted the rank of General, with the remark : „Shigu‘s most valued Soldier“.
She was the best military genius Shigu had, despite her appearance and age, and soon, with Leeric’s and Kadd’s help she pushed the Shigu deep through Oasis, the MW occupied Equestrian Kingdom and the Lupinian mainland. Due to her battles and successes she became known as „The Kind General“ because she rescued a large number of civilians at the battles of „Killdane“ , „Farane„ and „Revilix“

She almost knocked out MW in late 2014. Relying on heavy tanks and new armored and infantry tactics she pushed MW 155 Kilometers away from the Capital of Lupinia. However all successes came with a steep price. She was held back by the „Eternal Winter of 2015“, a large Snowstorm that marked 2015 as the turning point of the 5 year war, with Shigu and Adleria becoming allies. Her advance was stopped by the worst snowstorm in the history of Animalia. This forced her to build a base of operations and large camp in enemy territory, far away from home, with few resources.
