The only daughter ever born to the omniversal devil Trigon throughout his timeless existence, Raven was destined to rule by her father's side and to reshape the underrealms in his image - and in her own. Taken by her mother, Arella, shortly after her birth, she was instead raised in the hidden realm of Azarath, dedicated to the study of magic and the promotion of universal peace, where the goddess Azar and her devotees strove to teach Raven to control her emotions and powers. <br><br>Desirous of knowledge the Azarites would not impart, finding it ever more difficult to control her rapidly expanding powers, and aware that her father would lay waste to the entire dimension to find her, Raven as an adolescent fled to Earth and spent years on her own. She attempted to use her barely controlled abilities for 'good,' only to be betrayed by the Phantom Stranger and rendered unto her father. <br><br>Unknown to Raven, Trigon *wanted* Raven to spend time on Earth and to learn their ways, to learn to create as his sons, raised entirely in the underrealms, had never done. In the end, he did not have to corrupt her - he only needed to indulge her. While mere weeks passed on Earth, Raven spent relative years at her father's side, trained to a terrible puissance and given a realm to control. <br><br>Knowing that Raven's eagerness was only to please him, Trigon arranged for her to find companions - or allies, or tools - by staging an attack on Earth, only for Raven to 'vanquish' him and join the Teen Titans. | |||

<br> | <br> | ||
Raven is a user, someone who perceives others primarily in terms of what their value to her can be; she is cold, cynical, and manipulative, and she is capable of shocking acts of cruelty. She is heir to a reign of terror that spans universes and predates humanity, and she has eagerly participated in its horrific excesses to please her father.<br><br>Raven, also, is generous, compassionate, and unwaveringly loyal, willing to go to absurd lengths to preserve the lives of friends and innocents.<br><br>To put it mildly: Raven is complicated. <br><br>One aspect of her being is ancient and malignant, a thing that wants nothing more than to bask in the horror of eternal night. The other, is an essentially decent if traumatized young woman. The conflict between these aspects is endless, and it can be difficult to ascertain exactly which she favors at any given time. | |||

<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Darkness Control:'''</span> | |||
<br> | |||
Raven can manipulate, control, and outright create darkness and shadow, forging them into solid masses capable of manipulating objects and attacking others, as well as creating constructs composed entirely of darkness. Derived from her soul-self, Raven is limited to doing this in the area around her (or the area around her projected soul-self) - no more than a few dozen meters. Normally, Raven can use shadow to 'lift' around one hundred tons with effort, but under incredible duress she could support the weight of a collapsing building - thousands of tons - for a short time before succumbing to fatigue.<br><br>The constructs she creates are simple ones - imprisoning bubbles, bindings, arrays of slashing wings, grasping talons - and remain visibly connected either to her or to the shadows from which they're 'grown'.<br><br>By wreathing herself in shadow, Raven can fly - albiet in a limited fashion compared to most similarly-gifted superhumans, perhaps fifty miles per hour.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Empathy:'''</span> | <span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Empathy:'''</span> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
Raven | Raven is an empath of almost unimaginable power, transcending the simple manipulation of emotions to accomplish feats more commonly associated with telepaths of the highest order (see also: Psionics). She always senses, at varying levels, the emotions of those around her. <br>* EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION - Raven has the ability to sense, alter, manipulate, and outright suppress the emotions of others - for example, triggering an outburst of violence from everyone inside a club, then immediately halting it, triggering intense fear and anxiety, 'healing' sorrow, or inducing sleep. She can affect a large room full of people (the aforementioned club, for example), and anyone within her immediate area. Careful alterations require more direct attention; while she can make a large group violent, or afraid, or peaceful, elaborate emotional response needs closer, more focused attention.<br>* EMPATHIC HEALING - Raven can take the pain and physical damage of others into herself. The healing achieved through this can be miraculous, but there are certain limitations: 1) Wounds that should be, or even appear to be fatal can be healed, but only if attended to quickly - if the soul has departed, there is nothing she can do.2) Similarly, disfiguring or crippling injuries - if too much time has passed, the damage becomes locked in place. She could heal victims transformed by Professor Pyg on that night, but not those from earlier. 3) Raven *cannot* 'heal' age, nor death from natural causes. 4) While she does not require physical contact, to heal anyone at all Raven must be close enough to touch them.<br><br>Raven's durability means she is able to recover far more quickly from this transference than might be expected, most healing doing little more than cosmetic damage that rapidly fades, but the more she heals, the more she's damaged and the more she's fatigued. Incapable of simply "taking" her own wounds, she *can* induce in herself a meditative state that greatly accelerates her own healing. In said state, even grievous injuries tend to be recovered from over the course of a night, so long as they aren't grievous enough to render her incapable of meditating at all.<br>* PRECOGNITION - Raven possesses some ability to sense impending events, especially ones with negative consequences; given its connection to her empathic skills, it is likely that she senses massive surges of emotion even across the gulf of time. The greater its emotional impact, and the closer the event is to occurring, the more detail she can perceive in her visions of it.<br>* PSYCHOMETRY - Raven can occasionally perceive the echoes of emotionally charged events that happened in her location. The more recent the event, the fresher and stronger the emotional resonance, the greater detail she can perceive. Such imprints fade with time, however, and where she might 'witness' a kidnapping and beating from earlier that day as if viewing barely-faded still images or ghostly figures reenacting it, in a long-abandoned hospital where patients were horribly mistreated she could sense only their lingering pain and terror.<br><br> | ||

Raven is | The biological daughter of Trigon, Raven's physiology is unique in highly beneficial ways.<br>* She is far more durable than a normal human - she has endured blows from super-strong opponents, falls from great heights, and other injuries that would have killed a normal girl, without incuring major damage.<br>* She is quick to heal from most wounds; damage she absorbs from others, especially, tends to regenerate in moments.<br>* She is immune to heat and flame - consequently, it has been remarked she feels cold to the touch.<br>* Her mind is an alien, hostile place, over which she has seemingly total internal control. When an infamously powerful telepath tried to take control of her, he ended the attempt screaming, vomiting blood.<br><br> | ||

<br> | <br> | ||
As the daughter of a demon who has consumed entire universes worth of evil to empower himself, Raven is a sorceress of terrifying ability and even more terrifying potential. Trigon, himself, claims that she accesses only a fraction of her power and that her abilities would be 'nearly infinite' if she were to fully embrace the darkest aspects of her nature; even legendary demons have cowered before her when she truly unleashed against them.<br><br>She is capable of summoning (indeed, even her words recorded and played back by another with no magical ability at all can do so), creating force shields, manipulating the elements for attack and defense, generating blasts of pure magic, creating even durable and long-lasting illusions, enacting rituals, acting as a conduit to allow the transfer of vast amounts of mystic energy, and more.<br><br>The majority of Raven's magic has verbal elements, requiring that she be able to speak - if she can't, her magical abilities are severely limited. Her mystic abilities are, ultimately, derived from her heritage; even when used for good purposes they resonate as evil, and can contribute to her emotional instability or leave temporary physical marks on her, or on her target.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Psionics:'''</span> | |||
<br> | |||
Raven's power as an empath is such that she transcends the simple manipulation of emotions, granting her access to a handful abilities more commonly associated with telepaths.<br>* READING - Raven can read surface thoughts with little or no effort, and, with physical contact, can fully explore someone's memories. With a true telepath this tends to go unnoticed, but with Raven the target fully experiences the emotional resonance of those memories or re-lives them outright, something that can be profoundly traumatizing.<br>* COMMUNICATION - Raven can communicate psionically with most people, and establish lasting links allowing communication across vast distances, such as those she has established with her fellow members of the Teen Titans. Through such a link Raven can access their senses, seeing what they see, hearing what they hear. While someone must be in her general presence for her to establish such a link, it can be maintained long after they have departed and at essentially any distance.<br>* MEMORY ALTERATION - Beyond simply reading memories, Raven can change them, altering someone's memories of an event or events, and can suppress them outright, leaving someone with no recall whatsoever of an event or person. Unlike with so-called psychic surgery, memories she 'deletes' are still there, somewhere, and can be restored by her or by someone with similar levels of skill.<br>* PERSONALITY MANIPULATION - While incapable of the puppeteering 'mind control' of true telepaths, refined uses of emotional manipulation and memory alteration grant Raven the ability to make changes to someone's fundamental personality, altering their motivations and opinions. A profound violation, it is unlikely that she would do so... unless she had a very good reason to, of course.<br>* LANGUAGE ABSORPTION - Through the use of her abilities, Raven is able to understand most spoken languages, and written ones that someone in her presence is literate in.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Soul-Self:'''</span> | <span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Soul-Self:'''</span> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
Raven can project her soul outward from her body, generally manifesting it as a vast, red-eyed bird or a vaguely avian shadow, but she can present it as an identical "clone" of herself. <br>* PROJECTION AND CLAIRVOYANCE - At its most prosaic level, Raven can use her soul-self to project her consciousness and senses to another location; because she is able to make it appear exactly like herself, she is, essentially, able to be in two locations at the same time. She is, also, capable of presenting in a single location as multiple "copies" of herself, but only briefly; it is enormously draining, and requires levels of concentration difficult to maintain in the very situations where having "copies" of yourself (at most, herself included, 4) would be most convenient.<br>* TELEPORTATION - Raven can fold her soul-self into herself to teleport across seemingly limitless distances, between dimensions, and even through time, at the speed of thought - she has done so to evade the super-speed of a Kryptonian - and, likewise, can teleport herself to anywhere she has projected her soul-self. She can also use her soul-self to generate portals through which others can travel, but most find the experience to be a deeply unpleasant one and the effort of teleporting large groups is draining.<br>* INTANGIBILITY - Raven can become intangible, able to pass through solid objects and ignore most attempts to attack her, though some kinds of energy attacks have been capable of injuring even her soul-self. She can also create "tunnels" of intangibility in objects, to let others pass through them. | |||

<br> | <br> | ||
Raven | Raven was trained in self-defense in Azarath, in war and conquest by Trigon, and in heroics by the Teen Titans. While by no means an expert, she can defend herself, and is knowledgeable in the use of swords.<br><br> | ||

Although not a skill commonly associated with her, Raven is, in fact, an excellent leader - and a general, more than capable of leading troops into not simply combat, but outright war.<br><br> | |||

Raven | Having been raised by a monastic order for the first fourteen years of her life, Raven is fluent, and literate, in a number of languages, primarily those that are or have been associated with magic: Latin, classical Greek, Sumerian and Babylonian, ancient Atlantean, Azarian. From her time with her father, she learned the academic and royal tongue of demons, and can communicate passably with less prestigious denizens of the underrealms.<br><br> | ||

Raven is | Befitting the daughter of a demon, Raven is a spectacularly gifted liar, manipulator, and deceiver, able to bend people to her aims even without the use of her empathic powers. She is, unsurprisingly, just as talented in detecting when others try to do the same to her; she immediately knew when an ally had been replaced by a doppelganger.<br><br> | ||
<span style="color:#00CED1">''' | <span style="color:#00CED1">'''The Occult:'''</span> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
The combined teachings of Azarite monks and their goddess, Azar, and the relentless training of her father, the demon Trigon, have created in Raven one of the most exhaustive and comprehensive knowledges of mysticism to be found in someone whose age is not measured in millennia. Owing to two very different types of instruction, she is able to claim knowledge of both the light and dark alike that few can equal. | |||

Raven's father is Trigon, a demonic presence that exists simultaneously in countless dimensions. Raven is the only one of his children he has any genuine affection for, and he would do anything for her - if only she would ask. There would, naturally, be consequences... for the world, if not for Raven. | |||

Raven doesn't blend. She is deathly pale, with pitch black hair that tends toward blue, and sports a blood red gem at the center of her forehead. It is comically easy to pick her out of a crowd.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Divided Loyalty:'''</span> | |||
<br> | |||
Raven is on Earth to assemble a court of allies and servants, companions to serve her will and rule by her side when she and her father tear down the walls of reality and usher in an age of darkness that will never end. <br><br>Raven is also a superhero, someone who has time and again stood against the forces of evil and saved the lives of countless innocents, a loyal and dedicated friend willing to go to extreme lengths to help those closest to her. <br><br>These drives, to say the least, tend to conflict.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Doomed:'''</span> | |||
<br> | |||
Several destinies have been foretold for Raven over the years, and none of them are especially cheery ones. In one future, she consumes the four horsemen of the apocalypse and ascends as a being of ultimate evil until imprisoned forever. In another, she claims the souls of her friends and ushers in a new age of darkness, ruling in her father's name. In yet another, having rejected Trigon, he punishes her betrayal by ripping apart her soul to construct a gateway through which he may freely enter and conquer Earth. Her story is not one with a happy ending.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Evil:'''</span> | |||
<br> | |||
The daughter of an omniversal devil of inconceivable power and malice, Raven is, irrespective of actions that she takes, a being of innate, supernatural evil. Her soul is a thing of malignant shadow, and she radiates as such to even the dullest supernatural senses, and she is vulnerable to many things a demon would be that a human is not.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Flat Affect:'''</span> | |||
<br> | |||
Owing both to her constant suppression of her own emotions and to having been raised in wildly alien cultures, Raven generally possesses a very flat affect. Even when not intending to be, she comes off as sardonic and biting.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Separation:'''</span> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
That Raven's empowered soul can exist distinct from her body grants her an array of incredible powers, but it also comes with a potentially lethal drawback. If the two are prevented from reuniting for too long a period of time, both will die, and will do so in an implosion of black magic.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">''' | <span style="color:#EE204D">'''Unstable:'''</span> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
As the daughter of Trigon, Raven has an unfortunate tendency to be unstable - physically, as well as emotionally.<br> EMOTIONS: Raven's emotions are intense, an intensity further fueled by her inability to turn off her empathic abilities. At some level they are always 'on,' making Raven acutely aware of the emotional states of those around her. Under most circumstances, this is minor - she underwent years of training from Azarite monks, learning how to suppress her emotions. Particularly intense emotions can create problems, however, and this is especially true for groups of people radiating intense emotion. The impact of overwhelming emotions can vary, depending on the circumstances, the emotions involved, and Raven's own state at the time - it can be annoying, predisposing her to feel the emotions in question, or it can be debilitating, causing her actual, physical pain.<br> PHYSICAL - Raven must be mindful of her own negative emotions as well, most especially her anger, for the more she succumbs to it the more her demonic heritage is manifested physically. If briefly lashing out at someone, her eyes may appear an unnatural color, but truly succumbing to rage transforms her into a red-skinned devil, fanged, horned, and four-eyed. While in this state she tends to act in a manner befitting the daughter of Trigon - violent, haughty, and dismissive. Luckily, Raven has to date always returned to her more human appearance upon regaining control of herself.<br><br> | |||
<span style="color:#EE204D">''' | <span style="color:#EE204D">'''What's a Napoleonic:'''</span> | ||

The originator of The Rite of Paper Skin, the precise number of angel tears known to exist in the material world, the lyrics to every track on Inkubus Sukkubus's 1992 debut album, Belladonna & Aconite - Raven can tell you these things and more. What she can't tell you is what the 4th Amendment is (but then, what superhero could), or how the electoral college works, or much of anything at all about human history that does not pertain to the occult. The monks of Azar taught her nothing but magic and how to defend herself; her father, how to conquer and how to rule. While the time she has spent on Earth has resulted in her gaps of common knowledge being filled to a certain extent, they remain, in many areas, positively gaping. | |||

Profile
Emotions are human, and the girl known as Raven desperately wants to be human. To be normal. For her, though, emotions also represent the connection to her father, the demon Trigon. Thus, she has learned this impeccable level of control over herself, forcing everything down below the surface where it can be processed in these acceptable chunks. She cannot allow herself to feel, lest she indulge in the emotions that would lead him to her- or worse, her to him
