Personality: Enigmatic, insane, cultural and neutral. He tends to be slightly cold, making dark jokes about bad situations and being completely indifferent to the suffering and pain of others unless the person in cause matters to him. He is neutral, known to kill some for apparently no reason yet in the same day save a family; It is know he has a soft spot for animals as he considers them pure and incapable of sin unlike humanoids.

Alignment:  Chaotically Neutral- His actions seem to contradict themselves as he either sends a town to ruins or saves an entire village from sickness. He is capable of both good and evil and does both as he sees fit, he however cares about the repercussions of his actions causing him to be more thoughtful than people that are fully Chaotic

Species/Abilities:  Living Reaper/ Alchemical Necromancer, rumored Incubus descent due to emotion reading and manipulation.

Alchemical Necromancer: Raven spent many years studying alchemy, more precisely one that focus on the secrets of life and death. After many years he discovered how to manipulate the essence of life, and even the soul.He however he doesn't consider himself a Necromancer, but a Life Exchanger, or a Life Reaper, as he can both take and give.

Life Exchange:
Raven can drain the life energy of anyone or anything he touches, capturing the soul if he succeeds in draining all the life energy of the target. Reversely he can give someone or something life energy or even a soul, being able to heal wound and disease with the energy or even revive a corpse or any suitable vessel with a soul.

Soul warp:
Raven can warp the souls he takes into more powerful ones like Banshees, ghouls and poltergeists by forcing particular emotions and feelings into them thanks to his Incubus blood.

Living Reaper:
Unlike most necromancers Raven doesn't use his ability to raise hordes of undead or attain eternal life by passing over the limit of life and existing as a powerful undead, no instead he prolongs his life by taking souls into himself while ALIVE, making them a part of himself.He is a one man army, since the souls and life energy can allow him to heal his wounds and, because he warps the souls prior to taking them into himself, he gains abilities through them as his own soul adapts to them. As such his soul is not a single unit but millions working as one.

Banshee Howl: Due to the Banshees he absorbed he can produce sonic blasts with his own voice.
Poltergeist: Thanks to the Poltergeists taken in he possesses an ability similar to telekinesis, allowing him to move distant objects without touching them, there is of course a size and number limit imposed both by his skill and number of souls.

Shadow Ghost: he can collapse his form into 2 dimensions, becoming something like a shadow for a short period of time; the time period increases if he hides in an actual shadow. This ability is mostly used for spying as he can't attack in this form. A flash of light will force him to turn three dimensional again.

Immaterial: Raven can pass through non organic materials, like walls, it however causes him great discomfort so he rarely does it.

DOPPELGANGER: Using doppelganger ghosts he can create copies of himself or another person. These copies can do tasks and mimic the person, they ca even interact with the physical world, but are weak so a single strong impact can cause them to collapse and their energy to return into Raven.

Possession: He can possess a weak willed or unconscious living creature using a fragment of his soul. The possessed person shares everything it feels and sees with Raven, allowing him to use them as spies.

Will o wisp: He can create will o wisp flame, also called soul flame. This flame burns by feeding on soul energy, thus affecting the target's soul instead of the physical body.


Summon:
Raven can extract any of the souls inside him either as spectral beings or use a body, or any suitable material, to give them form. The body that takes in the warped soul gets twisted and altered, mutated into a body suitable into that soul type.

Soul emotion:
Raven cam imbue parts of his soul with raw emotion, altering it's color and causing whoever is struck by it to feel the emotion to it's core. This is mostly used to warp souls, but it can be used in combat...it is even said that Raven can use the emotion of "death"...
Soul fusion:
(see shapes)


Usually wears: A long, pure red sleeveless robe with silvery markings along it and pieces of pitch black plate armor along it, especially on his chest; the hood is almost always pulled over his head, triangular plates of armor covering the top. The parts of his body not covered by the robe( shoulders, arms and hands), as well as the legs and feet, are covered by pitch black full plate armor and chainmail, his elbows, knees and shoulders having spikes as well as on his gauntlet knuckles. the gauntlets are also clawed. wen the hood covers his head his face literally disappears, and all of those that stare into it will only see a see-through demonic skull-smile and no other features besides the seemingly infinite darkness inside. The robe itself reaches the ground, but is torn and ragged all the way to knee level, partially exposing the leg armor.

Background: Not much is known about his past or where he came from, some speculate that he is the son of a mad scientist and a witch, that he is the son of the devil, or simply a soul that managed to become living again. All that it is known is that he lost someone dear to him, and that gave him a new perspective on life, it made him understand the value  of a life, the true value of a soul...and that's why he became what he is now, a man that dared to defy death and instead of bargaining with other souls like all necromancers do, he bargains with his own.

Weapons:

Name: Blood Iron
Type: Shifting clothing

Description: All of Raven's plate is made of blood, more precisely out of the iron that exists in blood. Due to the dead nature of the material Raven is able to place part of a soul into it, and so he is able to shift its shape at will.

Name: Graveyard
Type: Wraith scythe
Description: Long ago there was a powerful necromancer that crossed the veil of death to become a powerful lich…but he didn't stop there. He searched deeply into the mysteries of death and learned to rob souls to fuel his own power, he aimed to become the incarnation of the Grim Reaper. A band of holy paladins , aided by rogue necromancers and a few angels fought the Dark Reaper, but killing him was nearly impossible due to his great power, so instead they used the power of the robbed souls to imprison his essence into a tombstone and sealed it. During his journeys Raven found this tombstone and for several days he fought the essence of the Dark Reaper, attempting to absorb it and it's tormented and enslaved souls. After 7 days of fighting Raven managed to subjugate the Dark Reaper to his will, since absorbing him was still impossible. As such he used the tombstone to craft himself a new weapon: Graveyard. It has a large onyx black blade, crafted from the onyx tombstone; the blade itself is longer than one arm and the base is as wide as 2 hands, due to the seal properties of the tombstone the blade is nearly unbreakable and repairs itself over time; this blade is also sharp on both the convex and the concave side; being the upper side armed with onyx black spikes. At the base of the blade there is white demonic skull, the blade coming out of it's wide open jaw filled with wicked sharp teeth. The back of the skull is armed with a a set of 2 long sharp horns that bend backwards to form a impaling spike. The staff part of the scythe appears to be made out of white vertebrae, with vein-like onyx running along it, and it has a total length of 6.5 feet. Due to the dead natured materials of the scythe, Raven can pour soul energy into it, to cause the vertebrae to bend to his will, giving it a whip properties if he so wishes. However this is not the Scythe's "natural" ability: The blade still houses the Dark Reaper and its enslaved souls, and Raven can cause it to manifest, to grab, take or wound his opponent's soul, and if it is killed by the scythe, the scythe will rob it of it's soul, warp it into a stronger creature and either send it to Raven, or if he so wishes, transmit it to a suitable vessel to create an undead servant.


Name: Horror and Agony
Type: Twin scimitars
Description: During his experiments Raven found out that the material that composes a body can be compressed to form a hard material: diamond. Using lonsdaleite created using compressed bodies Raven forged these 2 twin black bladed and white hilted scimitars. Thanks to their organic nature Raven can send both souls and emotions into the blades ( one soul/emotion at a time), giving them abilities or causing them to inflict that emotion upon contact.

Shapes: Thanks to the souls inside him and to his knowledge Raven can alter his body into three stages:

Emission: releases part of a soul's body part as a white-silvery flame shapes like the body part attached to, or around his own body. These body parts don't act with the physical realm directly, but through the spirit. For example if Raven covers his hand with a taloned hand and strikes someone, the strike will harm the soul, and since the body must be in accordance with the soul, it causes the damage to appear directly in the body, bypassing armor. it however can't really interact with non-living things or things with no soul.

Transformation: The stage that follows up to Emission. In this stage he forces his physical body and armor, to assume the shape that the soul part did, this has the advantage of defense and raw power but being physical it could be stopped by armor and it has weight.

Ascension: The ultimate shape Raven can assume. By sacrificing his flesh and converting it into energy he crosses the line over death, becoming a Soul Lich. Like all necromancer, the proximity with death greatly increases his power. In this form his whole body turns into soul energy, looking like whitish/silvery flames, kept into shape and bound by his clothing and armor, the armor extending considerably as the white flames burn ferociously . Also all his abilities are magnified and so are his physical attributes(strength speed, etc). In this form he can also Summon ever single soul he has to form an undead horde. However this form has a price, if he stays too long in it he can become undead forever, and if he is mortally wounded in this form he will die the true death.
