He doesn't like to talk about his past, or really let anyone get too close to him as he is both ashamed of his lineage as well as his failure to defeat the Miracle Makers. His only true friends are his Pokemon, which he shares a powerful bond with. He feels as though he has let them down though, as they were badly injured in their last big fight. This is one of the reasons that Ven abandoned the rebellion and went into hiding. Because he grew up in Blackbark Forest, Raven is accustomed to the dark and feels most at home in it. He prefers to give nonverbal commands to his team when he can, preferring to talk as little as possible while around others. While he is naturally kind and loving he tries his best not to become too attached to things or other people. His Pokemon are the only exception to this. Biography: Raven Blackwing is the sole heir to the Blackwing family empire. His family was the first to set foot in Kyoto where they established a small colony at the edge of Blackbark Forest. All later towns and cities became branches of the original colony. Even though the forest was supposedly cursed, the Blackwing family built their home near it's very heart. It was here that Raven Blackwing grew up, separated from the rest of the world in perpetual shadow. As a boy, Raven rarely saw his father, who was almost always away on business, and was eventually pronounced missing. His mother died shortly after he was born, and so, he was looked after by an elderly nanny named Carissa. Carissa was a kind woman, yet strict when it came to Raven's schooling and safety. While he loved Carissa like she was his true mother, Raven rarely did as he was told. Often abandoning his studies to explore the wilderness around him. One day, after sneaking out of the manor, the young man (only ten years old at the time) ventured deep into Blackbark Forest. He slipped in the dark and fell into a dark crevasse that opened up into an underground cavern. Terrified, and un able to walk, the heir to the Blackwing family laid in the dark for two days. On the third however, the boy realized that he was no longer alone in the dark. Glowing gold rings and bright red eyes peered out at his from the darkness. Horrified, he shut his eyes and curled up as tight as he could, preparing for the worst. But instead something else happened. Instead of claws or teeth ripping into his skin, he felt a soft tongue run over his forehead. Opening his eyes, Raven stared into the face of an Umbreon. The Pokemon was sniffing him curiously before looking up at the hole from which the boy had fallen, which then let in cool moon light. The dark Pokemon stayed with Ven for a few more moments before disappearing ageing into the darkness. After another hour had passed, voices drifted down into the cave. A group of people from Krow's Wing (a near by town) lead by Carissa appeared and quickly retrieved the boy from the cave. Stuck in bed with a broken foot, Raven got in the habit of leaving his window open each night in hopes of seeing the Umbreon again. He knew that the Pokemon had something to do with his rescue. But instead of his savior coming to see him, Raven awoke on night to find a Murkrow eating the food he had set out on the window ceil. While it was not the Pokemon he was looking for, Raven did not shoo it away. He had never had anyone to talk to other than the nanny, and despite her good heart, was never much of a playmate. Offering the bird more food, he managed to coax it into his room, where it perched upon one of the posts at the foot of his bed. Raven stayed up all night watch the bird, and whispering to it. He told it about all of his favorite things to do and places to go. He told the Pokemon about Carissa, his father, the Umbreon that had saved him and about how he had never had a real friend before. The next morning when Carissa came into wake Ven she nearly had a heart attack. The Murkrow squawked and quickly flew out the window as the old woman swatted at it in surprise. While this upset Raven greatly, he was overjoyed to see the Murkrow return a few nights later. But instead of sitting on the bed post as it had before it stayed by the window, motioning for the boy to join it. Bracing himself against the wall, Raven looked out the window where he saw a familiar glow coming from the edge of the forest clearing. The Umbreon walked out from the trees and stared up at the boy. The three of them sat there looking at on another for what seemed like a long time before the Umbreon walked back into the forest. They repeated this for nearly a week before the Umbreon came up to the house. Carissa no longer screamed when she saw the Murkrow in Raven's room, nor did she jump when she saw the Umbreon sit on the porch at night. She knew what they wanted, and she no longer tried to stop them from seeing Raven. At the age of fourteen Raven set out from his life in the manor with his close friends in order to explore what Kyoto had to offer. He attended many classes at various training schools in Sinnoh, Johto, and Hoenn. He worked hard and trained with various gym leaders and studied with Professor Oak in Kanto. Along his journey he met and caught many new Pokemon: a young Zorua in Unova that had tried to impersonate him, a hot-headed Houndour in Johto who kept trying to fight every Pokemon he saw even when he was clearly out matched, a tricky Sneasle that had stolen his wallet, and a quiet Absol that had been accused of bringing bad luck to a drought ridden small village. After returning to Kyoto at the age of seventeen to attend Carissa’s funeral, Raven stayed and trained harder than ever in order to get through his grief. He abandoned his ancestral home to eventually become a member of the Elite Four. Three years later chaos broke out as a group of scientist and their grunts known as the "Miracle Makers" appeared. The Elite Four rallied the gym leaders and followed the Champion into battle against the organization. But when the fate of the region hung on the final battle the Champion vanished. The group was outnumbered and could not hold off the scientists and their altered Pokemon. The Elite Four failed, and in doing so, lost the region to the Makers. While some of the others continued to fight and rebel against their new oppressors, Raven retreated into solitude. His guilt over having almost killed his Pokemon and shame of how he'd let all of his friends and Kyoto down crushed almost all that was left of his spirit. He left the rebellion and went into hiding, trying his best to start a new life as someone else. RP Sample: Raven Blackwing stood just outside the entrance to the arena. He could hear the lights snap on and the roar of the crowd just on the other side of the door. It had been a long time since he'd fought in an arena, let alone in front of anyone. He was uncertain if he was ready for all this again, or if his Pokemon would even be up for it. But a soothing presence rubbed against his leg. Looking down, he locked eyes with the very Pokemon that had on several occasions saved his life and become his closest friend. He smiled as the Umbreon closed it's eyes and leaned against his leg, her golden rings letting off a pulsating glow. Ven knelt down and stroked the black Pokemon's head lovingly. "You sure you're up for this girl? We can still leave if you want..." As he spoke, the Umbreon's eyes snapped open. She stopped leaning against him and walked forward into the arena without him. Chuckling at himself for even trying to talk the little fox into changing her mind after years of knowing that it is impossible to do so. He got up and followed her out into the arena. A boy emerged from the doors opposite the two, while Ven had never personally met the young man, he had heard of him before. A cocky trainer who had little experience outside of the controlled conditions of the arena. This would be over quickly. Adjusting his scarf, Raven hoped that there would be little talking and that things wouldn't get too personal. The last thing he wanted was to be remembered after all. Once his opponent sent out a small Sableye, Umbreon took her place in front of her partner. Ears down, rings glowing, ruby eyes fixed on her opponent, legs crouched and ready to leap; with a snap of Raven's fingers, the fight would begin.
