| "evil beware, we have waffles" RAVEN Rachel Roth===IDENTITY===
Full Name: Rachel RothNickname(s): Rae, Rae-RaeCodename: RavenAlias(es): RavenAge: 20Classification: Demon DaughterAffiliation: Good===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION===
Hair Color: PurpleEye Color: PurpleHeight: 5ft. 5incWeight: 110lbs===POWERS===
Powers: Soul-self: The basis of almost all of Raven’s powers are derived from her soul-self. She is able to project her soul from her body into corporeal form, allowing her to use it to interact with the physical world, to affect others mentally and to traverse through time-space. Her soul-self takes the form of a double of her own body or more commonly, a large black raven. She is capable of changing its shape and size at will, and can alter her own appearance with her soul-self as well, like increasing her size or making her face hideous. She is able to project her soul-self into the minds of others for a devastating mental attack, to communicate, facilitate calm or to force people into submission. Though normally composed of energy that is coloured black, Raven's soul-self can change colour depending on her emotional state, manifesting as red or white.Telekinesis: Raven can merge a small part of her soul-self into objects so as to take control of them, with the object essentially becoming an extension of her soul-self; this may be the reason why she prefers to take control of inanimate objects rather than people. The limit to how much matter she is able to control is unknown, though it ranges well into hundreds of tons, allowing her to hurl city buses, mounds of rubble or even uprooting whole slabs of pavement. Whenever she takes control of something, it is covered in the same dark energy that composes her soul-self.Solid Constructs: With her soul-self able to be moulded into any shape, Raven often creates simple domes or walls that acts as barriers against attack. She can project solid bolts to be used as projectiles, or a steady stream of solid force. She has been shown making razor sharp blades to cut through obstacles, claws that can restrain foes and floating platforms to ride on.Dimensional Travel and Teleportation: Raven's soul-self is able to envelop her (along with at least four other people) in order to travel to other dimensions, primarily Azarath. She can use this technique to travel vast distances on Earth or to teleport by momentarily displacing herself and then re-appearing in another location. She can also pass through walls and obstacles by simply teleporting past them, giving the illusion of intangibility. At times, Raven is shown creating portals with her dark energy in order to travel, rather than utilizing her soul-self.Empathy: The power to sense the emotions of others, allowing her to gain insight into their thoughts and intentions, and even experience their own feelings is also through her soul-self. This also enables her to sense the mental state of others, as she stated that she would know if someone's mind had been tampered with. Raven can absorb the pain of others into her own body in order to induce rapid healing for them and can heal herself by going into a trance of emotional calm. She can receive precognitive flashes of the future when exposed to extreme emotion. By using her empathy to guide her, she can track others with her soul-self.Levitation: Raven can levitate off the ground and fly, without visible projection of her dark energy as is shown when she utilizes telekinesis. Her power is also sufficient to enable her to counter the gravitational pull of other planetsHalf-Demon Form: When Raven is highly upset, she can transform into her half-demon self, usually with four glowing red eyes (a trait inherited from her demon father, Trigon) and sprouting black tentacles from under her cloak. She has little control over her actions in this state.Abilities
Multilingualism: Raven she is a skilled polyglot, capable of fluently speaking English, German, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Sumerian, and Sanskrit.Magical Lore: Raven possess' an affinity for mysticism, and has numerous items of an occult nature and an extensive library dedicated to sorcery. Raven had yet to immerse herself with more extensive and complex spell-casting for a greater variety of effects, though when tutored by Malchior, she was able to achieve feats previously not within her power. Raven’s magic appears to be incompatible with the reality-bending power of the enchanted finger of Larry, for she stated that a mixing of the two forces “could destroy the dimensional boundaries and nullify all existence.”Weaknesses:- Because of her demonic upbringing, Raven has severe emotional issues verging on multiple personality disorder. Though she usually maintains a subdued demeanour, her full range of emotions has been personified within the environment of her soul-self. Each aspect was represented as wearing a different coloured robe: green (brave), grey (timid), pink (happy), red (rage), orange (rude), yellow (intelligent), purple (friendly), brown (sad), and white which represents having either full control or full suppression of all her emotions.
- Guns… Like most, they would kill her.
- Raven has minimal hand to hand combat experience. Meaning she can hold up well against someone of similar experience for a while, but against someone with much greater skills; she would fail miserably.
- Raven isn't supposed to endure large amounts of damage. She'll go down easy enough in a fight, which is why she tends to hang back

A LeaderInterests/Habits: Raven is quiet, emotionless, pessimistic, studious and sarcastic. She keeps to herself a lot of the time, seemingly anti-social, but is always there to offer a witty remark, or a piece of advice. Often she’ll seem very mature, very cautious and restraint when it comes to showing, or even talking about her emotions. Thus she does prefer to get lost in a good book, as opposed to messing around with other Titans.===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family Members: Trigon (Father) Arella (Mother)Place of Origin: AzarathCurrent City: Jump CityHistory:Arella, Raven's mother, was chosen to become the bride of the demonic Trigon. Abandoned by the demon rather than her becoming his queen, Arella was bent on suicide when she was taken in by the pacifistic disciples of Temple Azarath, a group who had centuries earlier forsaken life on Earth to pursue their own nonviolent lifestyle.
In their interdimensional world, Raven, Arella's daughter by Trigon, was born. Fearing that the child would bring evil among them, Juris, a magistrate of Azarath, attempted to cast the infant Raven into Limbo, only to be destroyed himself. Azar, the spiritual leader of the temple, then took the young Raven under her personal tutelage, instructing her in the truth of her parentage, and in pacifism, meditation, and the submergence of her emotions to resist Trigon's influence, while perfecting 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 plagued by prophetic dreams of Trigon and, defying her teachers, she confronted her demon father in Limbo at his bidding. Trigon spared her and Arella after satisfying himself that, upon his return when she reached adulthood, he could seduce Raven into becoming his ally. When Raven turned fourteen, she sensed Trigon's power returning and fled to Earth.
She arrived at Jump City, where she met several super-powered youths fighting a rampaging alien girl . Raven managed to discern the girl's true reason for her demolition work and convinced the others into a more peaceful approach, which won them the alien's friendship. Despite Raven's obvious insecurity, the others invited her to join them in defeating the truly hostile aliens—the Gordanians, who had attempted to enslave the girl—and her presence proved ultimately essential to the motley crew's triumph over the Gordanians. Afterwards, the group decided to stay together and formed the original Teen Titans.
Though Raven, still feeling alienated from her new friends, remained distant to them, the other Titans soon came to learn more about her origins. First, Beast Boy and Cyborg inadvertently ended up stranded inside Raven's own mind, where they met the personifications of her separated emotional aspects and also encountered and fought the manifestation of Trigon's heritage inside her. Soon afterward, a backfired plot by the Puppet King left Raven and Starfire stuck in each other's body, creating a new sense of empathy between the girls. Finally, when Robin was haunted by a drug-induced hallucination of his enemy Slade, Raven linked with his mind and saw glimpses of Robin's past, including his initiation by Batman and the death of his parents.
Raven helped the Titans for years, working alongside the other four to protect Jump City from villainous menaces. She was consistently invaluable to their success. Eventually, however, Raven's past caught up with her: On her birthday, Slade (who had been presumed dead) reappeared, wielding new powers and marked with a symbol which Raven could not fail to recognize. Slade deliberately led the Titans to the place where Raven's true destiny was to be fulfilled to serve as a living portal for Trigon to conquer Earth. Seeing no other choice, Raven finally told her teammates the truth about her past—but instead of being rejected, the other Titans remained with her and took the greatest pains to prevent this from happening.
Slade and an army of Trigon's fire demons attacked Titans Tower to fetch Raven. The Titans decided to fight him, but Raven, unwilling to see her dearest friends hurt on her behalf, knocked them out of the fight and secretly imbued them with some of her powers to protect them from the apocalypse to come. When the portal was opened with her powers, Raven was apparently consumed, but in fact her human half remained alive in Trigon's domain, regressed to childhood and left powerless.
Left in a world turned into a living horror, the Titans still refused to give up without a fight. With some help from Slade (who had been betrayed by Trigon) Robin made his way to Trigon's underworld, found Raven and took her back to the surface, even though she was spiritually shattered by her role in the shaping of events. Finally, the Titans and Slade faced Trigon in a final onslaught. But even as they were struck down, Raven realized that all was not hopeless, and this sparked her low spirits back into life and let her regain her powers and her true age. Under her new-found righteous wrath, she used the sum of her powers to destroy Trigon, reverting Earth back to the way it was and finally ridding herself from the last vestiges of her dreaded heritage.
Sample RP –
It was a dark, cold and lonesome night that had descended upon Jump City; A very vulnerable city really, always having to withstand the ideas and plans of the villainous super powered people who flock to the city. For quite a long time the city and its residents have been able to look towards the Teen Titans for protection, and to be the guiding light in such dark times. The Teen Titans had been facing quite a few problems as of late, and because of that. One of the original Titans was returning just to… lend a hand. This Titan is none other than Raven; a Titan known to be a little distance, but one who won’t shy away from getting the job done. She stood atop a building in Jump City, with her hood down; cape and hair blowing in the wind as she looked down at the streets below. As said it was night, so there weren’t as many people populating the city as during the day. It was quiet really, but Raven knew Jump City well. Jump City was never quiet for too long. And well, she was right.
There was several shops along the street Raven was looking down upon. So sudden, and so unexpected; an explosion occurred from a brick wall. Debris scattered out in front of the hole in the wall created, dust swept into the air as well. Out from the smoke, and the dust appeared a van; the getaway vehicle to a robbery; that is what Raven gathered from the alarm bells ringing out in the area. Raven only caught a quick glimpse, but knew who it was right away. It was Andrew LeBlanc, a notorious thief, and an excellent escape artist. He always tended to go for jewels, so why cash? Funds running low? Perhaps looking to buy his way into the Brotherhood of Evil. Who knows? But it did seem as though he planned for an easy escape, well. It was about to get a lot tougher.
Raven would watch as the van drove away into the distance, gaining an idea of where it was headed. She soon dissolved into the ground, into her soul self; disappearing from sight. Where did Raven choose to appear? She would appear from out the ground, several metres ahead of the truck. LeBlanc spotted Raven ahead, looking a tad worried at first.
“Azarath Metrion Zinthos!”
Raven would create several walls from her soul self, shooting them towards LeBlanc. He managed to have the van narrowly miss them, skilfully driving as be he could; eventually able to speed past Raven. As he did, he would wave out the window; calling out.
“No no, not err, not this time Raven!”
Raven turned to look at the van speed off, a sigh as she was hoping to be done with this by now. Raven would once again sink into her soul self, this time appearing above the van itself. LeBlanc had no idea, but he quickly gained a clue as Raven leapt off from the van, producing a large claw from her soul self. The claw would strike the van, sending it spiralling out of control. LeBlanc tried to regain control, but the van spun into a brick wall, not breaking through; but doing sufficient damage before falling over on it’s side. Smoke would flood out from the bonnet; the van was toast. LeBlanc got out the van, and went to the back. Opening the back doors and grabbing whatever cash he could. Raven had landed on solid ground, slowly walking towards LeBlanc as he scavenged for cash. He sensed her coming, and made a dash with the cash he was able to obtain. Raven’s soul self would come into play again, as two tendrils would shoot forth, wrapping around the legs of LeBlanc to pull him back, dangling him upside down in front of Raven. He dropped the bags of cash on the floor, giving up.
“Okay, okay! …Raven, you caught me”
As the sound of sirens were heard, the police approaching the scene. Raven would drop LeBlanc from which she held him, allowing him to hit the floor with a thud. Raven would once again teleport away, as the police had arrived. LeBlanc was arrested, and the money was returned to the bank. Not a bad start for Raven’s return, eh?
