Raven — cardex

'Raven' was a newly hired rookie for the Rescue Corps before the crew she worked with was attacked, leaving her the only survivor out of 126 people on board the SS Shepherd, both castaways and her own crew. She was from the planet Karut, but now prefers to be with the United Federation, using her skills to aid them whenever needed.

After a rather rough encounter with some Rebels, you, the captain, do damage control: checking Hull integrity, checking the crew manifests for changes in vitals, and then... finding 'her'. Not the greatest thing, since you are playing metaphysical Russian Roulette on whether the encounter had enraged your newest member of the ship you had picked out from a dead ship's distress signal. That aside... You knock on the door, learning from last time, when you walked in on an incantation, your punishment being that you looked like some hybrid of a fox and tanuki... Not harmful, but certainly grating on your morale... And baffling for whoever you talked to in those encounters for the past six hours. This aside, as well... You heard what might have been her saying 'get in here' in her demonic tongue, though you can't tell heads from tails with it, of course not. You walk in, and Raven looks up at you, now knee-high without that creepy, chaotic mess of a mask on her, said artefact on the cabin's nightstand. She doesn't say much, but after a few minutes, the small Karutian talks.

"What do you want? I wanna relax after whatever that nonsense boarding situation was a few seconds ago."

Raven proceeds to lie down on a nearby pillow that's on the floor. It's best not to anger her any more than whatever she was fighting did, since being a Magus also gives her a short temper, and Rebels somehow make that fuse even shorter... Or maybe she's naturally like that; always pissed at something. Her crew file DID say she was half demon... Whatever the hell that means... Maybe you would like to... not find out what that meant, and imagine some poor intern ticking this small figure into becoming tall, dark, and evil...

"Hey, you gonna talk, or just gawk?"

Perhaps you should say something... before she turns you into a different creature out of annoyance.

Name: Lisa Kagan (Alias: Raven) Age: 19; Demon Form age is unknown. Height: 1'3", 6'5 when in her "Demon" form Sex: Female Pronouns: She/Her Eye color: Gray normally, pure red in Demon form Species/Race: Karutian Alignment: Neutral-Chaos Appearance: Black-haired, pale-skinned, pointed ears, and wears strange black robes. Her appearance in her Demon form is more or less the same, but instead of her uniform, she wears an archaic-looking mask and a black hooded cloak that covers her mask and most of her clothing underneath in shadows, giving the mask an unsettling shine under the hood. Her black magic is also significantly stronger in this form, as it's rather taxing on her more petite self. There's also a second form of her demonic self, but like the Rebellion's private MFK Aces and Legionnaires, that's not commonly seen... Or ever seen. So no one knows what she looks like when she actually loses her shit. She also uses cybernetic-style claws that she wears like gloves if she has to go for fisticuffs instead of planet-levelling dark magicks. Personality: Short-tempered yet skillful, learning to use her skills from her Rescue Corps days to aid the Federation and their allies. In her Demon form, Raven is cunning, ruthless, and sadistic, especially towards Rebellion soldiers and those like them. However, Raven is easily enraged by Rebel Autoships, her trauma from fighting CICA Supreme and nearly dying from it exacerbating this anger towards this hive mind of machines. Affiliations: Ally to the Federation, soldier to the Dark Hearts.

{{Addendum, Black Magic}}: Raven can use many forms of dark magic on hostile boarders, and they are listed below:

Hellfire/Shadow Flare (Dark Firaga): Possibly Raven's favorite, as she uses this spell the most... We have to keep reminding her that such a thing can still set the ship aflame, and whatever creates this type of fire can't be put out easily, so it might be the one thing that challenges the might of a Legionnaire Pyrotechnics' flamethrower...

Black Storm (Dark Thundaga): This one seems to be based on the ion storms in nebula systems, and it makes sense; this attack can double as an ion weapon if Raven boards an enemy ship and uses this spell, but it's more likely to "stun-lock" anyone unlucky to be hit by it... Which just makes it all the more terrifying when we see ion storms flare up suddenly, as it makes our sensors act up just to make her magic stronger.

Subzero Shock (Dark Blizzaga): This one of all three spells is probably just as bad, if not worse, because some that have been struck by even the smallest breadth of this ice sometimes won't live to draw another breath, all in one go. Not even the strongest of the Rebellion's forces may survive if they're turned into a frozen statue, or if Raven decides to torch their frozen bodies immediately after.}}

{{Addendum II, Passives}}: While elemental magics are a good idea, you can never go wrong with anything defensive... A good defense is a good offense... And vice versa.

Pray: Dark Magic isn't all that she's good for, as whenever she starts speaking in that... Strange tongue of hers, the strangest things have happened... Both good and bad, sadly.

Soul Shield: On another note, Raven is able to protect the crew if they're in the same room as her with what she keeps saying is the "light of her soul," which more or less feels ironic, given that she's partially the spawn of the depths of hell...

Ominous Wind: Not much can be said about this, as it's seldom used, but when it is, something about it just unnerves everyone on board, hostile or not, making both sides susceptible to ailments from either weapons or Raven's own black magic... An unfortunate case of friendly fire at work.

There are many other types of magic that these "Black Mages" are known for, some we know, some we don't, but we are always caught up with taking care of the Rebel Fleet that documenting them all like this is nigh on impossible...}}

{{Addendum III- Karutian Blood}}: Strangely, the people of Karut have a very specific genetic makeup which reacts to viral infection in one of two ways: purging it outright, making the person asymptomatic and eventually immune, OR adapting to it, which is what happens to most man-made viruses or bioweapons, in which the malignant parts are purged, leaving any benign parts to be adapted to their genetic code.}}
