Gender: male
Affinity: Evil
Home World: Earthland
Class: Ninja
Sub-Class: Gunner
Elemental Mastery Primary: Darkness
Secondary: Metal
Tertiary: Time
Weapons: Sniper rifles, pistols, smgs, throwing knives
Fighting style: He sticks to the shadows mostly. He watches his targets and plans his attacks. When he finally does move no one sees him coming. He strikes from a far lining up the best shot to cause the most damage. He is also competent with his throwing knives. Distance and shadows are his best friends.
Good Qualities: Raven prides himself on his ability to disapear. He relies more on misdirection than he does actual fighting skills. His abilities with a pistol is unmatched and he is fairly decent with various gadgets. He is also good at using his mastery of Krav Maga in unconventional uses. He mixes his ability to sneak up on people with this skill to create a devastating one-two punch.
Bad Qualities: Raven does not believe in magik and therefore refuses to recognise it for his own uses. He will not get any help from magik. His summons and forms will just be gadgets and allies. He also won't have weapon enchantments, as he believes them magik. He cannot stand toe-to-toe with many of the opponents he finds himself facing. If he does get in a scrap he mostly relies on his guns to get him out, which leaves him open to melee-attacks.
Personality: Raven does not like people that much, especially those who use magik. Since he was ambushed, he acts hostile towards anyone who uses magik to hurt others. He will ally with spell-casters but will never really trust them. He only will deal with people if he has to and even then he usually pushes them away. He is also a bit of a cynic and has a dark sense of humor. He is often direct and blunt which leads him into trouble sometimes. He never lies and tells everything straight up, not worrying about how it effects others. This doesn't mean he will go out and blurt everyone's secrets (He knows what its like to have dark secrets), but if asked for advice he won't sugar coat it.
Though fully aware and confident of his abilities, Raven understands that his survival has often been a gift of chance. He knows he is human and fallible, and he does not want to die. Highly-trained, skilled and experienced, Raven possesses a distinctly dark sense of humor, which he uses to control his fears and keep himself calm while in the field. Raven is abrasive and honest, and has little patience for niceties and even less for lies, especially when the immediate problem presents itself. Unlike younger operatives, he is not a blind idealist.
But in order to achieve the discipline required for his work, Raven has had to bury certain aspects of himself. His ability to detach himself emotionally from the immediate situation in order to better achieve his objectives is an exceptional attribute. Though, on rare occasions, his emotions have been known to surface. A man of few words, he is truly himself only when he is on the job – he has, in a sense, become what he does. He has little left to prove to the world and he has no interest in glory. If he fights, it is because he believes he is capable of provoking positive change.
Appearance: Raven stands 6'3 tall and weighs abot 150 lbs. He is in shape but leans more towards skinny than sporty. He has black hair that is cut in a military crew cut. He has one green eye that betrays his Al-Bhed heritage but also has one hazel eye, which he got through surgery. He has a scar on his right eye from the surgery, also. He has burns across his back from getting hit there with a fire spell during the ambush. He has a night monocle that covers his green eye and allows him to see in the dark. Raven wears a dark green cloak and woodland BDU pants. The cloak also has an flap that can be pulled up to conceal the lower half of Raven's face. Under the hood of the cloak he wears a black base-ball cap, used to shield his eyes from the elements for when he is taking the shot.
History: At age 15 Raven ran away from home to join the military. He quickly rose through the ranks. His superiors saw his potential and placed him in a special unit to combat a new threat to the Earthland. Being a kid and not having anything else to do he accepted. He went through a qualifications course and placed in a special ops unit. He was in that unit for six years before the mission that changed his life.
The mission was supposed to be a simple assassination. He trained with his team for a week for the mission before they were ready. They were not told who their target was, just where he would be and that he was a threat to the government. He suited up and prepared for his mission. They inserted at night in a dark field a mile away from their target. They got into the camp and snuck into the target's tent. Everything was going great... until they reached the target's chamber. The target was nowhere to be seen. Out of nowhere spells were being flung. Raven's men were cut down in seconds and he was badly injured. He watched through his scope, not able to do a thing about it. The last thing he remebered was a burning sensation on his back and a shadowy figure leaning over him.
When he woke up he was changed. He had a new eye to replace his old right one, which his attackers had taken as a trophy. He had a suit on that kept control over his body temperature. He was introduced to a government agent who would only introduce himself as The Director. He told him that what happened and that he was reborn. He was now apart of the SplinterOp program and that he was the first of many agents to go through the program.
The training took six months. Raven went through extremely rigorous and very extensive training necessary in his conditioning to serve in the covert war of, Information Warfare. From hand-to-hand combat, interrogation resistance, explosives handling and defusal, moderate computer hacking (cryptography), covert intelligence gathering (special recon), advanced stealth tactics (concealment, infiltration techniques, exfiltration, silent movement, and silent combat on a solo operating scale), to advanced escape and evasion methods, among many other useful skills vital too their survival in the field. In the end Raven was covert warrior that only left traces if he wanted to. He has been doing missions for a year now
