Cain is woefully restricted to one form, for he is bird.

Interaction

  • Scent: Smell like bird. With slight hints of carrion.
  • Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: He stretches his wings and bobs his head, the feathers around his neck flaying out.
  • General Posture and Body Language: Proud, domineering, fierce.

2.  Personality

Cain doesn't give a shit. He probably never has. Stereotypical of his species, he's a trickster and opportunistic. If there's an opportunity, he's going to take it. Cain doesn't care about the consequences but he will take his steps in a calculated way, there's no doubting that he is an exceptionally clever bird with a lot of knowledge on his plate.

He has a thirst for poetry and reading it. Cain finds the broken style of it appropriate for his own speech patterns which are choppy and croaky at best. He has trouble forming meaningful relationships with birds or other animals. This lack of long term socialization has made him emotionally distant and bit of a sociopath when concerning other's feelings.

This raven is also surprisingly obscene. His common greeting is "Ff...fucker! FFfff..Fucker!" It is unknown where he picked up such a vulgar tongue.

4.  Skills and Inventory

4.1  Abilities

Skill

  • Education and Learning: When he was a "slave" to a luperci fellow, he learned a lot by looking over his shoulder and imitating him. As he advanced, he took his studies upon himself.
  • Reading (Master): His comprehension and speed is considerable for a corvid of his kind. He spent many years working on it.
  • Stealing (Journeyman): Being able to fly makes it extremely easy to get away with small objects, Cain is especially good at going unnoticed.
  • Speaking (Journeyman): His words are choppy and few between, but he can talk enough to get a message across.
  • Cain is cocky and often believes that he is invisible and invincible because he can fly. Just because he can read and steal doesn't mean he's unbeatable.

5.  History

5.1  Achievements

Catacombs

go get yo' catacombs template, son

Cain was destined to be part of the pet trade. He was born near Chesapeake Bay, where his parents were owned by luperci and when he got big enough to waddle, he was taken away and raised mostly by canines for him to be tame enough for selling. He never saw his family again, but he didn't much mind. Ravens at that time were hot commodities for their intelligence and high ability to work. Cain didn't do so well in that respect and was a nippy, loud Raven from the very beginning. His wild personality got him sold anyway but he considered himself a slave to the luperci that purchased him and after escape attempts he was bound to the ground and unable to fly high like he wanted to.

He spent his life like that, in varying degrees of freedom joined occasionally by other ravens or other birds. But even as the years passed, he was never fully tamed and never let off of his leash for long. To squelch the boredom, he learned how to read and croak out phrases as his master and would get treats for his intelligence.

At that point, he was very well fed and clever and could even hold small conversations with his captor. This didn't last too long and when he was reaching the height of his cleverness, his master met an untimely end. He had been growing old already and growing very, very rich off of the trading that he did. It was only a matter of time before a greedy canine ripped his throat out.

Cain had crowed in delight and the murderer, perhaps some kind of vigilante cut his rope and he was free again to roam the skies high above him. Granted, his new found freedom took some getting used to and to fuel his learning, he slowly consumed the very master that had kept him bound for so many years. After that, he took off to new places and after hearing about Nova Scotia and their many wolves and animals, he took his scraps of paper and precious items and flew up there to see a new horizon.

Along the way, he met ravens of his similar age and even settled with a mate for awhile and raised a small brood. But his brief contentment was not enough and a large golden eagle took his mate and his children, splitting his trust from the work and sending him flying as especially quick speeds with an eye always at his back.
