—PERSONALITY—

Corin is a mysterious individual, not one to let others know of his past or deepest secrets. Much like the raven whose shape he takes, he is dark, mysterious and prefers to hide in the shadows then be in the spotlight. He is intelligent, sharp, quick witted and cunning. He is a talented flier, able to maneuver quickly in the air, but he is also quick and agile in human form, possessing the grace of one who has a hollow skeleton, making him light and quick. Corin is secretive, not quick to trust, you have to gain it, and if you lose it,.. well, good luck gaining it back. He is playful, mischievous , and enjoys causing problems, but also enjoys solving them as well. He is seen as an omen of bad luck, ill will and death, in both forms due to the creature who he becomes. He is a sly individual, a trickster, and is incredibly good at stealth, often hiding out in shadows. He is somewhat morbid at times, and can be quite blunt. But when he wants to, he can be quite a smooth talker, flirting and seductive if it means getting what he wants, he is willing to use his body to get what he wants, so he doesnt really care how people perceive him, and has no real shame in his body, except the faint scars that cover his body. He can be quite dark hearted and humoured, he sees the world as is not as a wholly good place.

—BACKGROUND—

Corin was born the second eldest child of Lucian Gray, a simple shopkeeper, and his wife Cordelia Gray, a seamstress. He had one older brother, and three younger siblings, all who he loved dearly. But when he was young, just after Daisys birth, his mother was struck down by an illness, and succumbed within days of showing the first symptoms. His father was distraught, but they managed to survive for several more years, until, when Corin was 13, guards came to his door, demanding to see his father, and thats when everything went wrong. His father was killed, his brother had left days previous, having married a local girl, but the day got worse. He watched, unable to do anything , as his youngest sister, a girl of no older that 5, had her throat cut by the same guards, and the twins were taken away. He was left alone, no idea why it had happened, and after burying his deceased family members, he fled to his brothers to seek aid and reprieve, but was turned away, and so, forced to live on the street. He lived on the street for several years, until he was chosen to be an Ebony Groom by the Dark Beast , who bestowed upon him the gift of transformation, enabling him to soar through the skies and hide int the shadows in the guise of a mysterious and beautiful raven, assigned to one of the Brides.

A raven landed on a low hanging branch that belonged to a corpse tree, his wing beats disturbing the absolute silence of the area that surrounded his new perch. The raven looked around, dark eyes alert and focused as he examined his surroundings, taking in the dark, dank air, the silence, no bugs buzzed around his head, no frogs croaked in the marsh below, and the raven was satisfied. The raven let his body shift, bones cracking and reforming to take the shape of his true form, a young man, hair dark as the shadows and skin a pallor in between tan and pale white. His feathers melted into his skin, and soon, he was completely changed, wearing jeans, combat boots and his favourite leather jacket, the leather so dark that it matched the inky colour of the feathers that he had previously worn in place of clothes. The young man, who now sat in the place of the raven who had been there but a moment before, was Corin, an orphan boy who had recently taken his place among the Ebony Grooms, a group of men who served the Dark Beast, and the Silver Matron, and protected the Brides, Priestesses who also served. It was the Dark Beast who had bestowed upon this young man the power to transform, to take the form of a raven, and he was thankful, loving being able to soar instead of remaining rooted to the earth like so many humans before him, and so many that would follow him. So the young man sat on his low hanging branch, enjoying the silence of the marsh below, and just relaxed, wanting nothing more than to become one with the darkness. Eventually though, he opened his eyes and allowed his body to revert to his avian counterpart and leapt into the air, soon disappearing into the darkness of the cool night, leaving the marsh quiet, and empty.
