Crow Moonclaw

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Crow is a 25 year old half-elf. He’s tall at 6’1 with icy blue eyes, pale skin, and dark brown hair. He’s lean, drastically underweight and travel-worn. He has the muscle to stand and go about his day and no more.

Body Features

In his werewolf shape he now stands at 7’1 in a bipedal stance. He mimics the look of a Maned Wolf with a black muzzle, legs, and ridge down his back. His eyes remain blue. Due to a previous curse interacting with his werewolf nature, he has crow feathers mixed in his fur wherever the fur is black.

Facial Features

He has a prominent hawk-like nose, downturned watery eyes, and thin lips. He has pointed ears that point down at the tip. He also has a beard that is fullest on his chin and corner of his jaw. There are some scraggly hairs that don’t warrant being called a mustache on his upper lip.

Physical quirks

For scarring, he is missing the entire ring finger on his right hand. It was blown off in an explosion during the fight with the God of Wrath. His right hand has some faint warping lines as well. On his left lower leg he has some faint bite marks. The most recent is several bites across the left side of his chest: these are werewolf bites and where he contracted lycanthropy.
In times of extreme stress, the crow curse and werewolf curse mingle so that he grows a set of crow wings behind his shoulder blades. They are flightless and serve only as cosmetics. It’s rather painful. The wings only appear when he is already in werewolf shape, never when he’s a half-elf.

Apparel & Accessories

He wears a long, lightweight trench coat in dark brown or blue. Underneath is a cream collared shirt with a lace up front. He wears matching ruby teardrop shaped dangle earrings, and a ruby pendant on a gold chain around his neck. The necklace is charmed to assist him in controlling his dual curses.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Crow is kind, compromising, a leader, and loyal beyond humanity. He is also manipulative, possessive, and somewhat fanatical over his various fixations. Is he offering you a seat at the table because you were lonely and he wanted to show that you’re included or did he know your family runs the archives he needs access to? Honestly, it’s both. It makes him dangerous. This is a man who does his research before he ever says a word to you. He can read you from your mannerisms across the street and know you’re an easy target for manipulation. He’s filthy over educated in the hidden histories of siren wars and the elves they fought; he’s determined to repair the lands the fighting destroyed.
He was arrested several times in his teens for blasphemy, and petty crimes, finally ending himself up in prison for spreading disgusting lies (truths) about the local lord that he discovered during his many illegal trips into the lord’s private library. After arriving in his cell, awaiting nothing short of torture, he heard then saw a young tiefling being dragged down the hall covered head to tail in gore. A few days later he would befriend that tiefling during their escape together. The tiefling had set her wing of the prison on fire.
A few years later the two would be best friends facing the newly freed God of Wrath as it escaped. Crow felt as if it was all his fault as the ancient temple of the elves collapsed around them and they were both certain of their deaths. He had brought them there. He had not only found the map, he made it. Over a decade he spent learning the histories of the elf and siren war, impossible code, forgotten paths, just to find this place that was now being destroyed. Him and his closest friend in it.
By some grace, they survived. He doesn’t fully remember how. But that doesn’t stay the guilt. Three of the four friends they brought with them died. Crow himself badly injured. He, Cassiopeia, and their remaining companion fled into the jungle to escape persecution for the damage far exceeded the temple itself. The location was no longer secret.
Within the jungle they were attacked by werewolves. Crow was separated and bit. It was the final nail. He stepped aside as leader of the group and let their companion, Blu, take lead. There’d been too many failures on his part.
