Gender: Female
Species: Demon/Human Hybrid
Age: 17
Height: 5'8
Weight: 130lb (59 kg)
Group Affiliation: Teen Titans
Occupation: Hero/Adventurer
Personality:
Raven is one of the most mysterious individuals that I ever encountered. She is quiet, emotionless, studious and sarcastic. She can always come up with a smart witty remark, specifically in reply to most o the Teen Titans' (mostly Beast Boy) antics and attempts at humor. Although she is not coldhearted, Raven is the most hopeful person I have ever known, she is usually shown as the most mature member of the group, the most understanding and compassionate of the group to make her teammates feel better, often gives her own advice to the others about various subjects, and generally staying cool and calm even in dangerous situations.
She can sometimes lose her temper easily with Beast Boy due to their constant arguments and hates his corny jokes. She enjoys reading, like herbal tea and meditating.
Raven helped my mental condition from my psychometric hallucinations of Slade and after that we shared a strong bond that we are able to communicate telepathically and sense our emotions. She is the only one o the team that knows my identity, histories and personal secrets.
Appearance:
Raven is highly distinguishable but beautiful girl her appearance shows her hair and eyes are violet. On her forehead, she has a red and black gemstone on her ajna chakra, that she was born with. She is seen to be very pale (gray skin), which makes her appearance somewhat demonic.
Raven's appearance is seen as dark and mysterious her superhero outfit is mostly made up of her favorite color, blue. She usually wears a blue cloak, with matching blue ruffled ankle-boots with black/gray soles, with a leotard-like long-sleeved shirt that is blue/black with cuffs at her wrists of the same blue of her cloak.
Around her waist she has a red and gold belt with the same jewels around it and no pants.
NOTE: She looks more lovely with shoulder-length hair with the trigonic incident that happened on her birthday.
Origin:
Raven's mother, was chosen to become the bride of the demonic Trigon. Abandoned by the demon rather than her becoming his queen, her mother was bent on suicide when she was taken in by the pacifistic partisans of Temple Azarath, a group who had centuries earlier cast off life on Earth to chase their own nonaggressive way of life. She ended up a new name/alias as Arella and currently their Queen.
In their inter-dimensional world, Raven, Arella's daughter by Trigon, was born. Fearing that the child would bring evil among them, Juris, a judge of Azarath, tried to cast the baby Raven into Limbo, only to be destroyed himself. Azar, the divine leader of the temple, then took the young Raven under her personal guidance training her in the truth of her parentage, and in pacifism, meditation, and the submergence of her emotions to withstand Trigon's influence, while reach the summit of her powers of teleportation, astral projection, and empathic healing.
Later, after Azar's death (in which she entered another plane of existence), when Raven was tormented by foretelling trances of Trigon. When Raven turned fourteen, she fully sensed Trigon's power returning and fled to Earth.
Powers:
Raven's powers are tied to her emotions, and as such, she has trained herself to calm all strong feelings to contain them. She has achieved this through daily meditation, mantra and utilizing chakra. Total control of her emotions, though, can cause in her powers unintentionally manifesting - as such, she persistently make a great effort to express herself while still maintaining control. Raven often uses the incantation 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos' as an emphasis for her powers.
- Soul Self: Most likely the source of Raven's powers. She is able to project her soul from her body into corporeal form, using it to interact with the physical world, astral travel, affect others mentally, and to traverse through space and time. Her soul self is shaped as a large black raven also the color can change depending on her emotional state.
- Telekinesis: Raven can psychokinetically control objects and use it for various of purposes. She can create near-impenetrable constructs made out of dark colored energy and project strong waves and bursts.
- Telepathy: Raven can use her mental ability to percept and communicate with others. Her telepathic powers bestow her a psychic shield to protect the minds of oneself and/or others. Launch psi-bolts to cause mental damage, limited mind control, project thoughts, generate and manipulate thought waves.
- Spatial/Inter-Dimensional Teleportation: Raven can teleport almost anywhere on Earth but it will drain her when she use too much energy and can teleport into dimensions. The Limit of this particular ability is currently unknown.
- Empathy: She can sense the emotions of others, see their thoughts and intentions, experience their own feelings. She can know that someone's mind had been tampered with. Raven can absorb the pain of others (whether it's physically, mentally or spiritually) then produce rapid healing for them and herself. It is said that her precognitive ability is only limited by extreme emotions.
- Levitation: Raven can counter the gravitational pull of other planets
- Emotion Manipulation: Can cause targets to feel uptight, scared, happy or relaxed: similar to Mind Control because it does influence thought process, but in a different manner, Mind Controllers are able to change people's thoughts, Emotion Manipulators are able to change the way someone perceives a thought. She once felt all emotions not just around her but the whole planet that it was too much for her which cause an effect to completely change the citizen's emotions temporarily.
- Umbrakinesis: The ability to manipulate darkness and shadows.
- Darkforce Manipulation: What Raven told me. unlike umbrakinesis, this power channels on direct and destructive outwards directed aspect of the spectrum.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Raven's body is not durable as Starfire but posses a remarkable healing ability that is faster than normal humans due to her cross-breed physiology she can recover from wounds, bruises and broken bones while in a healing trance or being conscious.
- Superior Immune System: Raven's physiology makes her resistant to some containments. She cannot get sick or diseases but her effects to drugs and poison will recover quicker than any normal human being.
- Transformations: Raven has a lot of transformation depends on her emotional moods. So far she has a subconscious form known as "Rage" an abstract of Raven's anger where she possess her either she's highly upset or angry and a Special Form where she channels the spirits of Azarath to defeat Trigon
New Powers
- Hellfire Manipulation: She can generate and manipulate the mystical flames of hell, which can completely destroy anything.
- Soul Manipulation: Raven can manipulate soul, defined as spirit/essence of anything, especially sentient beings. The Limit of this particular ability is currently unknown. At one time, she nearly mutilate Dr. Light's soul that he stop criminally forever.
- Reality Warping: Raven can create, change, destroy, or even alter reality just by thinking about it by using her emotions but it has to be strong. Right now she can mimic animated characters, she even brought colorful ponies into the real world. Most likely Raven already had that ability when she bestow part of her powers on us during the Trigon Incident.
NOTE: The Titans tell the League of how Raven to restore Earth from Darkseid (as Trigon's Herald) & Trigon with sheer willpower. (Promising Wielder of the Green Power Ring)
Hidden/Dormant Powers
There could be more powers that Raven didn't even know of. She might have the ability of time travelling because at first she was only limited to stopping time. Raven's empathic powers might awake more powers within herself and possibly displays superhuman strength and empathically replicating superpowers and skills.
Skills:
- Genius Intellect: Her brain functions allows her to process information and remember stuff better than most humans.
- Strategist: Raven is a good strategist that she can also be chosen as second-in-command if the role wasn't bestow to Cyborg.
- Intimidation: Raven is a natural tough individual. NOTE: The Titans called her "The Batman" of the group because of her dark, broody and intimidating personality.
- Above-Average Combatant: She is a fairly skilled combatant.
- Occultism: Raven is a skilful and expert in the arcane arts. So far she learned: Mysticism, Dark Arts, Demonic Magic, White Magic and Blood Magic
- Psychologist: Raven is great in terms of psychology. She's on par with Robin
- Detective Skills: While in a special mission she finds out Snowflame's Origin something Batman didn't find.
- Multiligiunisum: Learn 15 Langauages (Modern, Ancient and otherwordly)
NOTE: According to Batman himself, Raven is Batman's favourite Titan (excluding Robin) and refer her as "The Amalgam of Zatanna, Martian Manhunter and Batman himself".
Supplementary
- Chakra: The small jewel located on the middle of the forehead that allows her to control her emotions and keep Trigon from controlling her. It also can be used to absorb knowledge because Malchior told her how to learn arcane spells in a quicker way and intuitively learn it.
- Spell Books: she has a lot of spell books in her rooms such as Demonology and other type of magics.
- Nevermore: A gothic mirror acts as a portal into her mind, which seems to be a dimension all by its own.
Weakness
- Physical: It is been said that Black Canary, Huntress and even her teammates Robin and Beast Boy (the two most skilled combatants) has additionally pointed out that Raven tends to rely too much on her magic for combat so therefore she's currently the weakest/least skilled combatant of the group because due to living in a magical realm for years with a strict pacifist environment.
- Psychological: From out of all the Titans, Raven has the most psychological weakness because her anger gets the best out of her and it will make her careless and susceptible to attacks powerful than her own, her deepest fears will subconsciously negate her powers thus leaving her in a vulnerable state but once she admit her fear she will regain control so it is not much of a weakness also she seemed to ignore her inner fears rather than overcome and finally the worst is her nearly unstable powers because it is tied into an emotion power link so every time she shows strong emotions her powers surfaced and attacks any one around her so she needs to meditate at all cost (Raven does medidtate, it's just Beast Boy kept annoying her).
- Physiological: Currently Unknown. Her semi-demonic body will most likely make her more resistant to physical and physiological attacks more than a human being. She can be subdue by gases like any other normal human being but she is shown to be conscious earlier than most members of her team because mostly of her demonic side psychically getting rid of the gases. It is been shown while Raven was infected by Fear Gas and a mental image of Trigon tormenting her again, the trauma inhibiting her powers then her emotions made her finally overcome her Fathers and knows that he's not real that it made her awoke earlier from unconsciousness because her unique biological structure is mentally fighting the drugs.
NOTE: Raven's disadvantages are mostly side-effects because of her demonic heritage and it could be the reason why she's dark and moody rather than her light-hearted (human) side like Happy. Her powers went haywire that she suffered an unstable personality and changing emotions time after time which is a variation of a multiple personality disorder.
NOTE: On an Arkham Mission, she get taken over by Joker and act on his emotions and then created a new emotion-clone called "Madness" and wears the exact villain's physical image except that the cape is purple as well as not being able to handle large amounts of emotions at née that she needs to take a rest for a number of days.
Strategic Contingency:
If Raven ever lose control of her Demonic side, sound-based weaponry would make her unable to focus and sedatives would do the trick to subdue her and shut down her demon side but it depends how much measures until "Rage" resurfaces. The Titans and even the honoaries, have no hope of defeating Raven so Powerful magicians such as Dr. Fate, Zatanna or divine beings such as The Phantom Stranger and Spectre will be well organised candidates to use magical spells to counterbalance her.
Danger Level - Extreme:The Titans, JLA and even Batman knows how much power Raven possess. If she ever went rogue or mind controlled, her immense power level can probably control all beings in a planetary scale making her a Class S threat.
Containment Cell:
After the Protocols been fulfilled, Magical wards will either neutralise or suppress her powers. The Cell is not located in Titans Tower but in the Justice League Watchtower.
Others
The Justice League knows of her heritage but feel reluctant of putting her into the JL as future members but some of the leaguers wouldn't mind having her on their team because they needed more supernatural members for paranormal activities and inter-dimensional missions.
Raven's powers. trustworthiness, addition with her experiencing of her strengths and limitations can utilise her demonic powers for good but her being Half-Demon and the threat level in the team would make her untrustworthy with the members even the veterans because of her heritage.
