Draven

[Draven]

Draven Appearance Name: Draven (self-given), formerly Nathanael Race: Ghost, Human Gender: Male Age: 39 ( 14 Human Years, 25 Ghost Years ) Birthday: 50, Spring, 474. Birthplace: The City of Nyka Appearance : Nathanael had deep blue eyes, and platinum blonde hair. Both uncommon within the people of Nyka. He inherited his hair from his mother, who was deemed a true beauty; the blue eyes came from his father, the svefra who got his mother pregnant and then left town, leading to her shameful death and Nathanael's wretched youth. In life he was pale and thin, due to him being poorly nourished by his grandparents, and relatively small, although such things are hard to judge at the age of 14. As a ghost, he usually resembles his living self at the time of his death, if only for the fact that he seems to look a bit healthier now, though that could simply be the result of him being happier and a lot more 'lively' nowadays... and the colour of his hair, which is no longer platinum blonde, but appears to be of a very lightish blue. Additionally he still wears the blueish robe he wore at the time of his death, still unblemished throughout the years he's been wandering the world of Mizahar, albeit the real robe being long since buried. While materialized he's very discernible from other humans: his entire body tends to glow, and his edges appear intangible, ethereal. Character Concept : An Imprisoned Soul set free... Draven is eager to explore, meet and learn, having known neither one in life. Accompanied solely by his raven, he spend most of his time, since his ghostly re-birth, exploring and discovering the Nykan life, and is now in search of other experiences: friendship, adventure and fun! However, his youth has left Draven with permanent scars: having been stuck inside a single room for the entirety of his human life, he now avoids small spaces, and even dislikes being stuck with his human form, preferring to possess and control the body of others... Character History : Nathanael's mother was a beauty, famous amongst Nykan suitors: she had long white hair, a rare pale skin and brilliant gray eyes. As the pride of her familly, she was destined for a great marriage, albeit a loveless one. Yet she endured her fate, and became the epitome of purity and elegance, which made her even more desirable amongst Nykan suitors. Her future layed out before her, she would have lived a simple life, if not for a single Svefrian man, a handsome traveler in search of his fortune. They met by chance, and ended up in love, a silly juvenile love, which ended with her getting pregnant, and him leaving town, in an attempt to avoid his responsibility. Her parents, both deeply religious and utterly ashamed, hid their daughter, claiming she had fallen ill. As far as the people of Nyka know, she died at the hands of a lingering disease. In reality she had given birth, and died while doing so. Yet her parents could not bare the shame, and decided it would be best to raise the child in secrecy, in a single room, unknown to the people of Nyka. For 14 years, Nathanael lived in the exact same room he was born in, being poorly raised by his hateful grandparents; not allowed to leave his room, or even look outside the single, barred window, he found solace in the presence of a raven, a single raven, stuck in an iron cage in the corner of his room, and reveled in thoughts of adventures across mysterious lands. Then he died: one day his grandparents simply stopped feeding him, leaving him to rot inside that same room. With his last bit of strength he forcibly opened the raven's cage, to set free his only friend. When he awakened, as a shimmering ghost, he saw the raven, pecking at his - now ethereal - leg. Gently he dwelled inside the lonely raven, and together they flew of, towards the unknown lands that he had dreamed of. As such he spend 25 years travelling with his Raven friend, exploring unknown lands, seeking adventure wherever they went, and taking on the name of Draven, the eternal raven.
