History of your character: Raven was a normal kid, good grades, active in class, lots of friends, and a whole life in front of him. When he hit the age of 13 he already knew what he wanted to become, a SWAT member, or at least join the force. He discovered his power a year later, controlling some light but nothing serious, just playing around with it. At the age of 15 he mastered the power of controlling light, he now could manipulate it in anyway he wanted making it his best friend. One day a police officer saw what Raven could do and discusses with the other officers if he could become a trainee in the force. So far his powers didn’t develop, till he found out he could bend light away from his body, making him invisible, the police now used Raven as an eaves dropping helping SWAT members locate warehouses with drugs, slaves or else. Raven looked up to the SWAT members and when he his the age of 17 he was the youngest member of SWAT ever. Though he could not roll with the good guy's he took a lots of training to get into a good physical shape. At the age of 22 he could roll with the good guy's and fight crime. His powers came to good use, going invisible in dangerous places, distracting guards with his light manipulation, and then it was only a matter of bullets and some force to get them into custody. His parents were proud of him, their son, a SWAT member and darn good at it too. Then it all changed. He and his team were put on a huge case, Drug traders, slave traders, and every felony you could think of they committed. It took them 6 months to finally rap up the gang, but only a month later they were set free. Lawyers and their smooth mouth got them free, they could do it all again over and over, hurting innocents. The same happened to other cases, they were all set free, out in the open. Raven didn’t take this very well. He thought he served justice, but justice wasn’t their to be found. If justice had to be served he had to do it by himself. He quit with SWAT when he got 27, he stole his normal equipment, a fully automatic corner shot, 2 frag grenades and 2 teargas grenades. Leaving the force without letting anybody know of it he went on path to find them, hunt them down, make them pay, only he did it in an
inhumane way. When he found them he would kill them, but not with a bullet threw the head, no it became way worse. Pulling out finger nails, cutting of pieces of flesh, yes and it all went further. Blinding them, burning them, Raven became pure evil. His goal in life is too free the world of these men, killing them one by one, hurting them one by one, with no regret he hunts them down, letting them feel the pain they caused others and make them feel guilty. His cause is righteous, how it’s done is wrong.
Sample Rp: Assassination of Ben John Terian
It was this day, which the serial killer/molester Ben John Terian would be prosecuted. He was being charged of multiple killings, and molesting children. Raven helped lock him up 1 year ago, and now the trial before the judge had started. Ben’s mind was twisted, and Raven knew all about him. He was investigating the matter with his fellow swat members. During the investigation they didn’t found anything about the murders, or the molesting. Computers full of personal matters, and sentences that would suggest the interest in children, but nothing more. Several families, murdered in cold blood, but no hard evidence. Still they managed to get him behind bars till his trial would start. Yes, it was this day it would start. Raven sat laid back in his chair in an abandoned warehouse, which he used as shelter. A TV, a chair, a closet for some clothes, a motorcycle, and of course his weapons were all stored here, the warehouse by the pier. He watched closely as the trial started. After an hour of debating the judge came to a conviction. “The defended is declared: Not Guilty!” As the hammer slam on the wooden block, the people started screaming, torn apart families were angry, mad, sad, all mixed.
As Raven heard the conviction he stood up out of his chair. “Justice will fall, today”. He put on his gear. not everything was needed, only his corner shot, 2 fraggrenades, and his knife. He walked to his motorcycle, starting the ignition and went for the courthouse. Haste was of the essence, but changing into light form wouldn’t be much of a help since he couldn’t carry his victim back to the warehouse. While pulling up at the courthouse everybody was still inside, and outside was crawling with people and bodyguards. He locked down his motorcycle and went threw the crowed to one of the bodyguards that was patrolling the back of the courthouse. Getting there wasn’t too hard. All he had to do was blend in, and jump over some fences with: Do not cross.
Ones he reached the back it was all a mater of stealth.
Raven stood sharp against a wall, leaning a bit around the corner to get a visualisation of the guard. Yes, there he was, this was going to be his cover to get to Ben. One shot, that was being muffled by a silencer. He took out his corner shot and let it lean around the corner, and took the shot. Nobody heard it, since it was damped, and the crowd was shouting like mad mans. The shot down guard was stripped of his clothes, and were now being worn by Raven. A black suit, with black sunglasses and of course the omissible earpiece. His own clothes were being thrown in nearby bushes so they could be picked up later on. As for the body, it was put in a nearby dumpster.
As he went on to the front of the courthouse the doors were being opened. Ben John Terian was taken outside, full of police officers, bodyguards, and so Raven was there too. He now had his hand laid on the murderer as he was escorting him to a nearby vehicle, but this would not work. To many other police men and bodyguards were around. And so the diversion would be set to place. A fraggranade with timer was placed in a corner of the courthouse, when Raven was making his way to the front. Tik Tak, Tik Tak, and there was the explosion. “Get Down!!!!” People were shouting, people were running, people were thrown to the ground, it worked. Raven looked back while holding Ben firmly. “I’ll get him to safety you people get help!” And so the remaining police men and bodyguards were gone. Just he and Ben were left. “Get me to safety you moron!” Ben was scared; you could see it in his eye’s. “You’re not going to safety, but to hell” Raven bended the light of him and Ben making them invisible, and made their way to his motorcycle. He used the cuffs that he had gotten of the bodyguard to restrain Ben, and keep him into place. Once they reached the motorcycle they got on, and the motorcycle too became invisible, as light was being bend of it. It wasn’t a long ride back to Warehouse, where justice was going to be served.
Once inside Ben was freaking out. “Wh, wh, what are you going to do with me” Yes, Ben was scared, as he should be. He put Ben on the chair that he had watched the whole trial on. “You will feel the pain, the pain that was caused to families losing loved ones, of children being hurt”. Raven put his gear back on a table, but he kept his knife in his hand, this was his tool of pain today. “Are you guilty of what you were charged of” Raven put his glasses on the table, revealing his light blue, cold eyes. “Nnnnno, of course not” Ben shivered. “Wrong answer” While the words were being said as cold as ice, the knife was penetrated into Ben’s knee cap. His scream was hard, and it was satisfying, but this wasn’t over. “Now I ask again, guilty?” Tear drops fell from Ben’s eye’s as words came out. “Yes, yes, I’m guilty, please let me go, I’ll turn myself in, please have mercy” “That was the correct answer”. The knife was pulled out of the Ben’s knee cap, and seconds later shoved in the other knee cap. “Pain is only a fraction of a second, it’s the suffering that does the real hurting” Again the scream was bone penetrating. “And now I will finish was court couldn’t” As he walked back to the table, Raven picked up his corner shot, and retracted his pistol out of it. As he turned around he aimed the gun at Ben’s head. “Please, I’ll do anything” Ben now was crying like the Big man, was turned into a little child, how Ironic. The bullet was gone threw Ben’s head, penetrating the skull, and the brain, and left the bullet inside. The next day, it all made the new headlines. “Ben John Terian, spiked on court hall doors” Yes, at Midnight, Raven went back to the courthouse with Ben’s body. Raven spiked him with nails on the doors of the court hall, with letters imprinted with knife cuts in the skin, saying: Justice is served, Shine. And so was justice served as Raven stood on a nearby building, watching as the body was being pulled of the courthouse doors.

History of your character: 10 years have passed. In these years the streets became cleaner, mobsters, crime family’s and small time thieves didn’t dare to show their face no more, in fear of the justice bringer. Raven’s intentions were still the same, as were his methods. The violent murder of the crime committers were still being executed by Raven that is one of the many reasons the crime rate has lowered drastically. Nobody wanted to end up like one of his victims. He fought crime for 8 of the 10 years that have passed. Some crimes were never solved, but most of the time the people who did those crimes never showed their face again, in fear that they are being followed, every movement they make would be fatal for them.
At a certain point the streets were as he imagined, no crimes, at least that was what it appeared. Nathan, the kid he found 10 years ago, the one he raised had become victim of a felony. When Nathan went to get some lunch at a near bakery, some drug addicts had beaten the 12 year up, just to get his lunch money. Raven had to hear this on the phone. The one he cared most for had now passed away, his sense for justice completely whipped away. The 2 drug addicts were found nearby the scene of crime, and justice served as the 2 were found dead at the police station, mutilated and carved with inscriptions: The boy who never got to be a man, now made his peace, Shine.
Raven needed rest; his mind was tangled up, nothing like he had before. Grief was tearing him up form the inside, and since the accident with the Nathan, crime was nowhere to be found. A week later Raven turned himself in, and the law sentenced him for life, life in a mental institution. They found his mind to sick to be left in jail, he is to serve the death penalty if there are no changes in his condition. Raven awaits the point of when it is time to break out, when his mind is clear again, when he is needed once again to fight for justice.
