Blood Raven


Appearance

Race: Nuit
Gender: Usually male
Age: 430
Birthday: 16 Spring 86 AV
Birthplace: Syliras

Appearance: While his appearance at any given time depends on the body currently being occupied, Raven tends to prefer possessing lithe, agile young men.

Character Concept

Blood Raven is a Nuit who uses his skill at killing to influence the lives of the mortals around him for his own amusement. Whether removing the resistance to two star crossed lovers or leaving calling cards at the sites of unconnected killings and watching the Syliran Knights scramble to find him, he loves weaving stories out of the lives of others, for good or for ill.

A devotee of the arts of stealth, he slips undetected into the houses of his targets and ends their lives before they get a glance of him. He generally uses a crossbow to compensate for his naturally slow reaction times, allowing him to kill from a reasonable distance while giving him as much time as he needs to take aim, though he also has some skill with poisons for the occasional opportunity when their use becomes preferable.

Unlike most Nuit, Raven isn't universally averse to human interaction. In several cases, he's even worked with humans to kill a particularly difficult target. In very rare instances, Raven has found himself capable of forming a sort of friendship with these people, even if it does exist out of his self-interest.

Character History

In the aftermath of the Valterrian, the world was thrown into disarray and humanity did whatever it had to for its own survival. One byproduct of this was a little-known group of magic-users known as the Clan of Ravens. The Clan's goal was to use the body-hopping ability of the Nuit to put themselves at the top of the new world. To execute of that goal, of course, they required Nuit willing to do their bidding. Luckily for them, one among their number was a talented Animator capable of performing the Daek-nuit, and thus, they set themselves to the task of kidnapping people to turn into Nuit.

One of the people they kidnapped was 36 year old Lucius Framer. Lucius was a carpenter working in the newly formed city of Syliras, where he lived with his wife and daughter.

After his transformation, Lucius was held by the Clan for 3 years, where he was first trained in the use of a crossbow and the art of infiltration. However, he was hardly glad of the training. The Clan kept their Nuit in horrible conditions, often whipping the Nuit for the slightest offense. Eventually, enough was enough.

In the spring of 135 AV, Lucius and three of the other Nuit conspired to bring an end to their captivity. During one of their crossbow practices, on Lucius' signal, the four simultaneously fired their crossbows at the nearest Clan members, killing all 4, including their instructor. The group then proceeded to carve a path through the Clan's base, killing 25 more people in the process. At long last, they reached the gate of the base, where they parted ways.

Of the four, Lucius was the only one not to permanently walk away from the Clan of Ravens. He'd been there longer than the others, and bore a deeper grudge towards the Clan. For the next 15 years, he committed himself to wiping out the remaining Clan members. At long last, he eventually stood before the Animator who had made him what he was, who had pulled him forever away from his family and friends, who had subjected him to years of torture. And yet, despite his power, he died as easily as any other man: with a single arrow to the neck.

Lucius found this victory positively unsatisfactory and decided that if the stories in his life were to be interesting in the slightest, he was going to have to make them himself. This was the moment when Lucius took the name Blood Raven and began creeping over the rooftops of Syliras in search of tales worth telling.
