Raven (Veteran Commander):
Spoiler
Name: SUSTIC
Timezone: EST. To be more exact I live in United States, Florida.
NPC Character of Choice: Raven
Game of Origin: Elsword (the MMO not the character from the game.)
Power: Raven is a skilled fighter who has a diverse range of attacks which can make him a force to be reckoned with in ranged and melee combat. Equipped with a single handed blade, and a powerful mechanical arm created by Nasod Technology, Raven uses a combination of swordplay and brutal attacks with his Nasod Arm. Since Raven was once the leader of the Crow Mercenaries his skills in combat, and tactical knowledge is quite high. His tactical prowess isn't as good as Chung's, but when it comes to leading a team Raven excels quite well as a Veteran Commander.
Raven's swordplay is quite high, capable of keeping up with skilled swordsmen. When combined with his powerful Nasod Arm he is capable of delivering fiery punishment with a barrage of sword slashes, fiery explosives, and lethal punches from his Nasod Arm.
Speaking of which I should talk about Raven's most prominent weapon. A weapon that serves as a powerful asset, and a heavy burden. His Nasod Arm (mechanical left arm) is a mechanical arm made from Nasod Technology. After the massacre of his fellow Crow Mercenaries Raven was left for dead until a mysterious Nasod Figure approached him. The figure offered him power to gain revenge for what happened. Raven blinded by anger accepted the offer and obtained the Nasod Arm.
With it Raven is a big force to be reckoned with. His Nasod Arm is capable of many things ranging from enhanced strength, spouting blazing hot flames from the palm, firing highly explosive ammo and piercing ammo, summoning large fiery mechanical crows, to being capable of generating grenades filled with Napalm (don't ask how, in Elsword Nasod Tech is a combination of magic and technology.) The sheer range of capabilities that the Nasod Arm possesses is pretty vast, and gives Raven a vast coverage in combat. He can use fiery crows, grenades, and explosive ammunition he can fire from the palm of his Nasod Arm for ranged combat. With his skills with a blade and the strength of his Nasod Arm to close the gap. Raven is a varied fighter who can give any unprepared warrior a run for their money. However there is one thing that Raven calls his "trump card"
Over Heat. Over Heating his Nasod Arm functions differently. You see when Raven became a Weapon Taker (before advancing to a Veteran Commander), Raven began implementing the weapons of his fallen foes into his Nasod Arm for more power. With the help of an alchemist named Echo, Raven discovered that he can Over Heat his arm, but when he does the power output of his arm increases exponentially. When Raven Over Heats, his firepower roughly doubles which can help out greatly. However their is a cost to it as mentioned below. Over Heating in exchange for increased power, will damage himself as well due to the intense heat generated from his Nasod Arm. This can be bad as it can cause Raven some serious damage if he keeps Overheating for too long. Raven truly does walk the thin line between becoming a formidable fighting machine and causing his own inadvertent destruction.
However during the events of Season I Raven's arm was badly damaged while trying to help fight off Wesker. However thanks to the repairs and upgrades he had received in Season I at Prometheus Labs in London his Nasod Arm is much stronger, being made out of incredibly strong titanium alloy to increase its heat resistance, with Nano-fiber muscles to increase his arms overall physical strength several times that from before (before he was capable of punching stone, now he is capable of punching through solid steel.) The flames he could fire from it have been changed to plasma flames instead of nuclear fire. He's also now able to generate a Hardlight Shield from his arm to protect him from attacks. Raven's Nasod Arm is much stronger than before indeed.
Raven since he is from the world of Elrios he also has the ability to use the power of El, a natural energy from his world to activate something called an "Awakening". In Awakening Raven's physical and magical capabilities are increased temporarily. Definitely helpful in a pinch when he needs a bit of extra power.
If he is pushed to his mental limits (I.E. pushed to the point where he could just go berserk) the Anger of Raven would be released. It's the same as an Awakening, but this lasts much longer. When the Anger of Raven is in effect Raven's Nasod Arm constantly emits electricity that can shock anyone that comes to close to Raven. This state of increased power is helpful in a sense, but due to the fact that Raven is literally pushing his body to it's limits in this state the stress is incredible. Raven also has a tendency to lose control during this state due to the influence of his Nasod Arm. Which if he doesn't find a way to control it, he will end up losing himself to insanity.
Weapons: His Nasod Arm, and he used to have a sword but it was damaged during his training in the forest during the past 3 months. When his "Awakening" or should I say the Anger of Raven is active, a small black drone with an orange core and several floating spikes begins hovering behind Raven. This drone can transform into a small barrier to protect Raven from frontal attacks, and when Raven strikes with his Nasod Arm the Drone transforms into a dagger like shape in which it then flies right after an opponent.
Weaknesses: His anger can get the best of him, but at the end of his part in the last RP he had gone off to train alone in the forest to control his anger and train his body to resist his Nasod Arm's heat. You see Raven can "Overheat" his Nasod Arm to increase it's firepower greatly. However the downside to this is that Raven get's burned by the heat his arm emits when he does this. Not only that but if he Overheats for too long his Nasod Arm would get damaged.
Appearance:
Except his Nasod Arm is a steel grey thanks to the new titanium plating he had received. Also his clothing and gear looks damaged due to the fact that he had
Personality: He is a very quiet person who can come off as cold and standoffish. The betrayal's he suffered from the Velder Kingdom had caused him to seek more power and turn against humans in his world. Until he came across Elsword and the others in his world. Then he had decided to help them find the El Stone (which they did.) Though during his time with Elsword, Aisha, Rena, Eve, and Chung he was still a relatively cold and quiet person. However during his time in the real world and spending time with a Spartan named Lily he had became more open to people.
Morality: Even though he was originally a mercenary he had taken up a job at the Prometheus Labs. However he had taken temporary leave to go train alone in the woods. Overall he is a good.
Biography: Raven was a fellow commoner from the Kingdom of Velder who rejected the idea of nobles and aristocrats. However, he was still proud of his kingdom, and thus worked hard to become the Captain of the Crow Mercenary Knights. Being a commoner in such a high-ranking position, he caused jealousy among the nobles.It was just a matter of time before he was framed and sentenced to prison. His friends, comrades, and fiance rescued him and hid within the forest in the outskirts of Velder.
It did not take long before they were all surrounded by Velder soldiers and slaughtered one by one. Everything that Raven cared for and loved was stripped away from him, right before his very eyes. He stared at all the dead bodies around him as he slowly took what would have been his last few breaths. Just then, a Nasod figure appeared before him offered Raven a contract, for rebirth and power, he would conquer Velder and have revenge on the ones who caused his suffering, Raven agreed, then blacked out.
Raven awoke in a Nasod capsule, with devices attached to various parts of his body. Reborn with a prototype Nasod claw, he becomes the leader of the Velder Rebellion and blindly fights to destroy the kingdom he once protected. That is until he met a crew of young, ambitious heroes who reminded him of his duty to protect the people he once loved. In atonement for his sins, he decides to join Elsword and his friends on a new life adventure of finding the missing El.
On the road with the El Search Party, Raven found another reason to fight. He keeps going to honor his comrades, the Crow Mercenaries. He makes adjustments to his Nasod arm and succeeds in giving it the ability to deal explosive hits. The more he uses it, the more powerful it becomes, and when the Nasod arm overheats, Raven unleashes a display of massive firepower.
Yet Raven poses a grave danger to himself, the longer he keeps using this modified, built-in weapon. The Weapon Taker walked the thin line between becoming a formidable fighting machine and causing his own inadvertent destruction.
Before his Nasod arm could overheat one too many times and fail him in battle, he approaches the Ponggos for their expertise in weapons.
They promptly send him out to collect rare materials for the repair: Ignis’s arm that blasts out nuclear flames, for greater firepower; the dark steel of Durahan Knight, for better heat resistance; and enchanted, mass-altering golem fragments, for making the usually heavy dark steel easier to carry. Gathering all these from such huge, dangerous monsters is clearly not simple, but Raven succeeds nonetheless.
The Ponggos complete the Nasod arm enhancement, and soon, Raven becomes the distinguished Veteran Commander—a temperamental yet compassionate leader of fighters.
During the time in the real world he had worked at Prometheus Labs where he was still not a very social person. However one day that seemed to change as the Labs was attacked by the Neo-Yakuza base of London, led by Wesker. Raven fought with Chris, Six, Gerard, Lily, and a few others to stop Wesker who had at the last minute infected himself with a powerful virus known as the Uroboros virus. Raven had literally pushed himself to his limits to try and stop Wesker, at least to leave him open for the others.
He overheated his arm for far too long, and far too much. To the point where it was almost unusable. After that Lily had taken him deeper in the Labs to help repair his Nasod Arm, and he had received a few upgrades afterwards.
When he was testing his Nasod Arm he felt joyous that his arm was stronger. However that instantly changed as he ended up Overheating again, and lost full control. Turns out that his Nasod Arm had already begin to integrate the upgrades into itself. Becoming stronger, his Nasod Arm also began to try and take control. Almost as though it was sentient. That's when Raven had decided to leave until further notice. So he can train alone where no one can be at risk of being harmed by him in the case if he ever did lose control.
Now that a few months have passed he had nearly finished his training. He had trained not only to control his anger, and in turn control his arm... but also to withstand the heat of his Nasod Arm better.
Traumas: Losing his friends, allies, and more importantly his Fiance to his own kingdom. This had left mental, physical, and emotional scars on his being. During the real world he had developed a friendship with Lily, and is trying to recover from them. However his past continues to haunt him with his Nasod Arm.
Notes: None at the moment.
Please note that Raven as a Veteran Commander is already in the RP controlled by me (check the first page of this thread), I am just reworking it as there was a LOT of stuff I had left out/forgotten. So this is just a reworked app of one of my characters, and the first of several to come in the future. This reworked app is not finished by the way.
