She has a slender and svelte build, with a gentle hourglass figure, giving her a physical beauty that she had never asked for. A nicely sized bust and firmed behind draw more eyes than she would prefer (an irony that is not lost on her, considering her heroine attire), complete with long, pale legs and a firm, taut stomach. While she couldn't be called buff or heavily muscled by any means, there is a tone and fitness about her body that is undeniable, as she does take to exercise and working out quite often as a vent for her emotions. Her skin is very pale, almost seeming grey, a hint of her demonic heritage.<br/><br/>Her hair varies wildly in length--her demonic nature allows it to grow faster than a normal human's, and in the span of two week can grow out to reach her waist. Sometimes she will keep it long, but often once it reaches that point she cuts it to be about two inches above her shoulders. Her facial features she keeps hidden whenever possible, shadows obscuring an attractive, if often serious and hard, face with sharply angled features. Purple eyes are often half-lidded and dull, as if all emotion kept from them, and the only other noticeable feature on her face being the red gem in the center of her forehead, her chakra, that helps her keep her emotional focus and stability, allowing her to control her darker passions and her soul-self.<br/><br/>For her heroine attire, as she wears as Raven, she dons a blue cloak with a hood, with matching blue ruffled ankle-boots with blackish-gray soles, with a leotard and bicep-length gloves, with cuffs at her wrists of the same blue of her cloak. On her cloak, she has a circular black/red jewel set in a gold plated clasp that attaches the whole thing together. Around her waist she has a red and gold belt with the same kind of jewels around it, while her legs are exposed. The belt ties at the back like a cord. Should she give in to more aggressive tendencies, but not fall to her demonic nature, this shifts--the cloak and her clothing become more avian, feathered, while a hardened mask-like hood forms to protect her face, and a layer of protection similar to a second skin forms over her exposed flesh, while her gloves shift to become similar to claws.<br/><br/>Her civilian attire, as Rachel Roth, consist of similar colored clothing, in a punk or gothic look. Baggy black pants over heeled booth, with a purple shirt that leaves her midriff exposed, with black fingerless gloves, finished with a black and indigo zip-up hoodie that she almost always has the hood pulled up on to mask her face. Someone lucky, and watching at the right time, might catch a brief glimpse of a tattoo in the small of her back, or a few other ones on her body, but they quickly fade from sight as if magic were hiding them, so no one has a proper idea of what they look like.<br/><br/>In the event that she falls to her father's influence fully, her skin turns a dark red, and her eyes start to glow with demonic power, as two "extra" eyes open on her face.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Persona==</strong></em></span><br/><br/>Raven is a very withdrawn and walled-off young woman. Because of her bloodline, any extreme emotion that she allows herself feel can cause horrific destruction and bring untold danger to the realm, through her father's influence seizing control. She was raised and trained by Azaranthian monks to control herself and not permit herself to feel anything. No anger, no sorrow, no joy, no happiness...not even love. Daily she meditates to maintain her control and nigh-emotionless state, bottling every human emotion that the common person takes for granted away to the back of her mind, always there to tempt her but never to be hers. But, she is still part human, and humans are all subject to the same mental weaknesses, and living in such a way has taken a toll on her psyche.<br/><br/>With as much of her life that depends on internal control and focus, these have started to apply to her external life. She could probably be accused of having obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything must be clean and orderly, the proper structure must be followed. Most humor is lost on her, and she can come across as very cold, and very intense. But she uses that coldness to mask the sheer sense of loneliness she feels. To protect those around her that would come to mean the most, she must keep them at arm's length at all times. There are very few she would allow herself to call a friend, and those few she treasures more dearly than her own life, and would give anything to keep them safe. And those around her that she sees that have more than just friendships, she watches with hidden jealousy, and for those that make light of what they have and take it for granted, she watches with contempt.<br/><br/>To help control those emotions, and many more, she tries to stay active. A highly intelligent and inquisitive young woman, she can almost always be found with a book in hand or hand close by. Her reading pursuits are mostly factual however, and historical, as fiction and entertainment reading risks causing emotions. She'll also devote much of her free time to working out, as she has found strenuous physical activity to be a great outlet for pent up tension and emotion, and as such she is much stronger and fit than many would likely initially give her credit for. In her darkest moments, she'll even use pain as an escape and release, a chance to feel<em>something</em>, even if unpleasant...though by now, she's come to enjoy pain in her own way.<br/><br/>Her motivations for being a hero as muddled, and she would struggle to give a proper reasoning for her actions. On one hand, she wishes to prove that she is not her father's daughter. That she can be an agent of good, and protect life, instead of the vessel of evil she was meant to be and destroy all life. She could say that because of the power she has, she has the responsibility to see it used properly. Or, she might even say that she is merely protecting the place she is living in, so that less will disturb her. She'll never admit that the primary reason, held in the deepest part of her subconscious, is that it gives her a chance to be around those who are not as threatened by her, who many give her even brief company and camaraderie...and, should all else fail, kill her.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Key Skills==</strong></em></span><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Darkness Manipulation</strong>: Raven can generate darkness from herself and project it forward to attack her enemies. It typically takes the appearance of a giant raven, or a black "unlight" aura surrounding items she grabs and manipulates with the power.</li><li><strong>Empathy</strong>: Psionic ability of empathy, the power to absorb emotions, enabling her to feel the feelings of others. She can also use her empathy to steal emotions from others, rendering them emotionally "numb". She can also cause others pain, induce tension, fear-filled hallucinations, and other such emotional manipulations as well.</li><li><strong>Empathic Healing</strong>: She can absorb the pain of injured people to ease their suffering, and induce rapid healing. This cannot be done to major injuries, as she'll likely end up killing herself or causing herself great harm, breaking her own body in the process of trying to heal someone else. Ie; she can take the pain and rapidly heal bruises, gashes, and burns. She may also take some of the pain from cases such as broken bones, and promote healing at a great cost of energy. But doing anything more, such as trying to heal punctured organs or severed limbs, are beyond her grasp, even if she can numb the pain.</li><li><strong>Telekinesis and Magic</strong>: Raven has the ability to move objects with mind, seen for example when she uses this ability to levitate children out of a burning hospital in Dakota and move herself through the flames. She has also displayed the ability to control, manipulate and or generate pure shadows and darkness. In a number of instances, Raven has also displayed sorcerous abilities, such as inducing unconsciousness with a touch, releasing balls of fire "within the folds of her cloak," or hurling electric blasts.<br/>---<span class="bbc_u">Hand-to-Hand Fighting</span>: Aided by her telekinesis, Raven is a rather skilled hand-to-hand combatant even without her powers, even if she shows such rarely, and often only as a last resort.</li><li><strong>Soul-Self</strong>: Raven can manifest her "Soul-Self" through astral projection. It normally takes the form of either her human shape or a giant raven. Through the use of her soul-self, Raven can project her consciousness into the mind, for therapeutic purposes. It also serves as a way to travel into other dimensions. In many instances, her soul-self has also functioned as a shield and as a method of attack, by absorbing objects and energy and regurgitating them moments later. Using her soul-self, she can convert her physical body into her soul-self and carry or teleport herself and others over vast distances in form of a giant black raven. Her soul-self can stay outside her body for five minutes, without risking any psychic pain.<br/>---<span class="bbc_u">Astral Projection</span>: Through the use of her soul-self, Raven can project her consciousness into the mind, for therapeutic purposes (to aid in her own meditation, or to help calm an agitated ally), or for offensive attacks, rendering her enemies unconscious.<br/>---<span class="bbc_u">Teleportation</span>: It also serves as a way to travel into other dimensions. Using her soul-self, she can teleport herself and others over vast distances.</li><li><strong>Flight</strong></li></ul><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Advantages==</strong></em></span><br/><br/>Raven has a willpower that is nigh-unbreakable, if ever under constant strain and pressure. As such playing mind-games with her will likely fail, and intimidating or frightening her is not likely at all. She is focused, and under fire she will never lose her calm, not with the consequences such may bright.  And highly intelligent, and while perhaps not being leader-type in personality or temperament, she makes a great source of support and advisement for those who can lead others.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Disadvantages==</strong></em></span><br/><br/>Should she ever lose control, or a villain break through her defenses and cause her to fall, Raven will fall fast. A lifetime of suppressing and hiding emotion has left her rather unsuited for actually dealing with her own feelings, and should her control slip, she'd feel them in the extremes. If left to go for too long, her evil, dark side will come to the front and seize control.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Background==</strong></em></span><br/><br/>Raven is the half-breed daughter of a human mother named Angela Roth (also known as Arella) and the demon overlord Emperor Trigon (known to mortals by other names such as Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, etc.). Raven was born and raised in the pacifistic reality called Azarath by the Azarathian monks, after her mother ran away from home, which was possibly in Gotham City, and joined a cult (possibly the Church of Blood), where she was raped by Trigon. In Azarath, Raven was taught to "control her emotions" in order to suppress and control her inherited demonic powers by Azar, the founder and leader of Azarath. Initially it was feared that if Raven were ever to feel any strong emotion, she could then become possessed by her father's evil demonic energy inside of her.<br/><br/>During this time, Raven rarely saw her mother and grew detached from her. Upon Azar's death, Arella began the task of raising and teaching Raven. Around this same time, she met her father face to face for the first time. Soon after her 13th birthday, Raven learned that Trigon planned to come to her dimension; she vowed to stop him.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/smallville/images/7/7d/2010492-evil.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140125053434)</div>Eventually she learned that Trigon was planning to come to her dimension and vowed to stop him. She initially approached the Justice League, but they refused her due to her demonic parentage. This led to her eventual capture by the Phantom Stranger, who handed her over to her father. Raven spent time in the under-realms where time flows faster or was compressed. Trigon thought he only needed to liberate her and not control her to make Raven have her own image. Apparently impressed, Trigon handed her the Throne of the Under-Realms to rule the place as the Queen of Pride, the embodiment of the worst of sins, and dominant over her half-brothers (Gluttony, Greeth, Wrath, Lust, Sloth, Envy, and Belial). However, Trigon's ultimate plans for the invasion and destruction of the mortal realm never came to fruition. While her brothers plotted against her to steal her throne, and the spirit form of her mother and Azar continued to insist upon her to regain control of herself.<br/><br/>When her brothers launched their attempt at stealing her throne, she was able to fight them all off, but was weakened enough for her good side to assert dominance once again and fight off her father's control. With the barrier between realms weakened by the Apokalips invasion, she escaped back into the mortal realm, and in the chaos of the fall of the Justice League, disappeared.<br/><br/>However, Raven still had to fight her father's influence.. More than once, Raven nearly lost control in various high stress situations in her travels and barely regained it before Trigon could reassert himself. Compounding the problem was the death of mother, who had by now passed away from old age and Raven was left bereft of her support, as their bond had eventually mended and been repaired. Lost and alone, she took refuge in Gotham City, claiming on old and ruined church as her home, and initially only using her powers to ensure her own safety in the building as she worked to regain her focus. Adopting the civilian name of Rachel Roth, she would eventually enroll herself in a community college in an attempt to be "normal," albeit with fairly lack-luster results at being "normal."<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Character Extras==</strong></em></span><br/><strong>Face Claim</strong>:  Ksenai Solo<div class="floatright">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/4e/d1/78/4ed178a9e7e3d3b4a3716c46d1a1756c.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Trivia</strong>:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Loves thunderstorms, and listening to the rain and lightning.</li><li>Has a photographic memory, and remembers everything she reads.</li><li>Is on poor terms with most religions, thanks to her father.</li><li>Occasionally moonlights as a dominatrix to help pay for community college (and to vent emotional buildup).</li><li>Will only sub for a female.</li><li>She completely <em>idolized</em> the legend of Superman when she had been young, which made it all the more crushing for her when Earth's Greatest Hero refused to help her.<br/></li></ul><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Ons==</strong></em></span><br/><strong>Role:</strong>Switch; Primarily Domme, but will Sub on occasion<br/>Power Play | (Light to Moderate) Pain | Rough Sex | Women | Being in Control | Losing Control | Vanilla Sex | Hair Pulling | Biting | Bondage | Intelligence<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Offs==</strong></em></span><br/>Any Form of Torture | Scat | Watersports | Vore | Bestality | Necrophilia (Vampires are the Exception) | Pedophilia | Mutilation | Most Men | Fanatics | Bigots | Her Father, and Other Demons | Most Religions and their Fanatics<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><em><strong>==Soundtracks==</strong></em></span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Inner Persona - Deepest Hope</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/embed/SXjXKT98esw</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Outer Persona - How Her Clients See Her</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFOvZojUJto</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Inner Persona - Battling for Control</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vjPBrBU-TM</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Her Demon</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3UuqCN1sQs</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Her Wish For</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vka6wPrB4E0</div></div><br/><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><div align="center">==<strong><em>Relationships</em></strong>==</div><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Family</span></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Trigon, Emperor of Demons (father)</li><li>Angela Roth (mother)</li><li>Gluttony (half-brother)</li><li>Greed (half-brother)</li><li>Wrath (half-brother)</li><li>Lust (half-brother)</li><li>Envy (half-brother)</li><li>Sloth (half-brother)</li><li>Belial (half-brother)</li></ul>--Merlin (nephew)<br/>--Etrigan (nephew)<br/>[/list]<br/><br/><strong><em>Friends and Acquaintances</em></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Currently None</li></ul><br/><strong><em>Lover(s)</em></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Currently None</li></ul><br/><strong><em>Important Moments</em></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The Odd Couples (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=240697.0) - Where Raven meets Starfire and Booster Gold at her place of "work," exposing her to the wealth and affluence of the man, and the temptations of the Tamaranean princess.</li><li>Crime Alley (Posts #1 - Ongoing) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=240251.0) - Raven saved Felicity from becoming another statistic in Gotham city, and encounters Wildcat, though initial impressions were found wanting.</li><li>If I Go Crazy (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=240010.0) - Raven almost becomes a victim of a gang, but manages to save herself (with some assistance from Superboy).
