Raven Delmirev

Overview/Backstory

Raven - a Shifter with Were-Raven genes - spent most of his time with their tribe, which consisted mostly of Were-creatures and shapeshifters of animalistic origin. When not training under his panther-shifter of a mother in the ways of a Scout, Raven would often travel to a nearby settlement to deliver missives & reports from the tribe elders to his father, a Were-Raven Stalker. His father would then provide Raven information to take back to the tribe.

In between acting as messenger, Raven would spend much of his time at inns & taverns, conversing with the settlement's people, learning their culture, as their own tribe lacked much in the way of diversity. Eventually, Raven would meet their fated one - An emerald gem dragonborn by the name of Midesh "Mindbiter" Delmirev - at one such tavern; the most beautiful creation in all of Arda to Raven. After much conversation and many repeated visits over countless months, learning magic with the help of Midesh's understanding of their innate abilities and intellectual mind, Raven revealed their true feelings & was both relieved & excited to know that it was reciprocated.

A month later, after having exchanged personal gifts between each other, Raven's activities were discovered by their father. Having been exposed to their tribe's elders of having broken sacred rites & traditions - bonding with a mate from outside the tribe's races - and refusing to take another spouse, Raven was banished from their homeland to prevent future generations of shapeshifters adapting the same mentality. Upon their banishment, the elder shaman placed a curse on Raven, preventing them from either communicating with or approaching Midesh, directly or indirectly.

6 months later, Raven has continued his studies of the arcane in the hopes of one day either finding, or creating a spell that will rid him of the curse placed upon him, so that he may one day return to his love, all the while drafting maps and keeping a journal of his adventures to eventually share with Midesh, adopting their name as Raven Delmirev.
