"Ah, wretched visitor, for thou art both man and phantom, born from the void and to it bound forevermore."
A figure cloaked in sable, as dark as the void itself, looms at the threshold of despair, his presence a harbinger of doom. His gaunt frame, tall and imposing, is draped in a cloak that billows like the wings of some ancient, cursed bird, black as night and woven from the threads of oblivion. His face, pale as the moonlight filtering through a cracked window, is chiseled with the sharp lines of one who has long since abandoned warmth for a colder, more terrible purpose. Eyes, like twin obsidian orbs, gleam with an unsettling intelligence—dark, fathomless pits that promise madness and torment to those who dare meet his gaze. The hollow sockets beneath his brow betray the emptiness of a soul consumed by grief, yet there is something far darker lurking beneath that sorrow—something infinite, calculating, and hungry.
His hair, black as the raven’s wing, sweeps down in wild, disheveled tendrils, as if he has not known a moment of peace since time itself began to unravel. His lips, twisted into a cruel and knowing smirk, rarely part save to utter a single word—Nevermore—each syllable a sharp strike of finality, a declaration of his unyielding power over fate and memory.
With every step, the air grows colder, as though the world itself recoils from his presence. He moves with a chilling, predatory grace, as though he floats above the earth, his feet never quite touching the ground. He is a harbinger of doom, a creature of shadows and silence, his very existence an affront to hope and light. His every gesture is deliberate, calculated, designed to instill terror in those who cross his path. His voice, low and ominous, reverberates like the whisper of death, a croaking call that echoes through the very halls of despair.
He is the embodiment of sorrow twisted into something far more malevolent—a being who has transcended the pain of loss and now wields it as a weapon. To cross him is to surrender to a fate worse than death, for he is the keeper of forgotten dreams, the bringer of eternal night, and no plea for mercy shall be heard. His laugh, sharp and hollow, echoes like the caw of a raven in the wind, a sound that chills the blood and marks the arrival of a terror unlike any before. He is The Raven, a dark and twisted soul reborn, unshackled and free to spread his wings of despair across the world, for in his heart, there is no room for anything but ruin.
The Raven can control and summon shadows to do his bidding, weaving them into tendrils that ensnare, obscure, or constrict. These shadows can form into monstrous, nightmarish shapes, conjured from the deepest recesses of the mind, amplifying fear in those who behold them. He can meld with the shadows themselves, becoming invisible and untouchable to most, slipping through walls and barriers with a fluidity that makes him seem omnipresent.
The Raven's most terrifying ability lies in his mastery over the human mind. With a mere whisper, he can manipulate emotions—instilling crippling despair, terror, or confusion in those who cross his path. His words, each laced with an unnatural resonance, can invade dreams, pull the deepest fears into the waking world, and twist them into nightmarish visions that plague the minds of his victims. His influence is so profound that he can bring people to the brink of madness, breaking their will and driving them to commit unspeakable acts.
The Raven is capable of warping the perception of time for those around him. He can slow or hasten the passage of time, leaving his enemies trapped in an eternal moment of dread or granting himself a fleeting advantage when he needs it most. To his victims, moments might stretch into hours or seconds could feel like days, further deepening their sense of hopelessness.
The Raven can invade the dreams of the living, shaping them into twisted, haunting nightmares. He can force individuals to relive their worst memories or plunge them into terrifying scenarios that blur the line between dream and reality. In these dreams, he holds total dominion, and those trapped within them may lose their grip on reality when they awaken. The fear from these dreams lingers, often leaving psychological scars.
Drawing inspiration from the bird of his namesake, The Raven can shape-shift, transforming into a terrifying, monstrous version of the creature. He can soar through the air, his massive, shadowed wings cutting through the atmosphere, silent and predatory. In this form, he becomes an apex hunter, with razor-sharp talons and claws that can shatter bone. His sharp beak, like the raven’s, is capable of cutting through the toughest materials, and his voice takes on a supernatural resonance, capable of echoing for miles.
The utterance of the word "Nevermore" is not just a proclamation, but a curse. Those who hear him speak it in the midst of their suffering are marked. The curse binds them to an inevitable fate, ensuring that whatever hope they cling to will be snatched away. The word reverberates in their minds, twisting their fate into a cruel joke. They may experience unrelenting misfortune, their dreams shattered, or worse—fates worse than death, as The Raven himself seals their fate with his cold decree.
The Raven feeds on the despair of others, growing stronger the more fear, grief, and hopelessness he sows in the world. He cannot be exiled by conventional means, for as long as the world contains sorrow, he is reborn from it. He is an eternal being, his essence linked to the suffering he causes, and his immortality is tied directly to the hearts of those he tortures. To end him would require erasing every trace of sorrow and anguish from the world—a task that no mortal could ever hope to accomplish.
