Hi! Welcome to my quest thread for my next child Raevan.
The concept I've chosen to run with right now is Titus, the Raven + Edible Nightshade boy. He'll be a part of Laurel's life, but also have his own story and horrible life issues he'll have to confront and overcome. Hooray for character building trauma!
The thread is still unfinished graphics wise, but the concept and guardian are complete. I'm 100% open to critique and suggestions!

The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste.
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature.

About the soul himself:
- Found as a fallen hatchling by a younger Thomas Linderhill and hand reared to be his companion. - Titus, through spellwork with Thomas and literal magical influences, displays a higher intelligence and memory than other birds like him. His vocabulary and understanding of commands/human speech is also far more extensive, though he often refuses to listen to anyone without a reward present. - He can fetch items and loves to steal things that are small, shiny, or smell nice. He can also dial a phone with his beak and seems to understand that pressing certain numbers in a certain order can call someone he knows. He has called several of Thomas' friends at midnight just to drop the phone and caw/cackle. - He tends to track people that he likes and perch on them as lightly as possible. If he perches on someone and caws loudly, he's often trying to warn them of something dangerous nearby. - He likes to carry sticks. - His favorite treat is berries.
Essence
Edible Nightshade
A handful of leaves, flowers, and berries harvested from an Atropa belladonna plant. This particular plant, which is normally known for it’s extremely toxic and deadly nature, came to attention after a child on a camping trip had gathered and eaten it's berries with no ill effects. When tested, the entire plant was found not only to be completely non-toxic, but also a potent anti-toxin and an effective anti-hallucinogen. The plant was relocated to a secure research facility to prevent accidental poisonings and deaths after several curious people died from eating the berries of it's still very deadly neighbors.
NAME : Titus (Roman; Possibly related to Latin titulus "title of honour" ) GENDER : Male ORIENTATION/PREFERENCE : Unsure/Undecided ALIGNMENT : Chaotic Neutral (Does what he wants; Kinda cares about being “good”, but mostly does whatever he pleases) SOUL CHOICE : Raven FEL ESSENCE: Edible Nightshade POSSIBLE POWERS :
Natural Immunity (Passive): Titus cannot be poisoned by anything normally toxic to other living creatures. He's immune to poisonous gas, snake venom, all toxic plants, and polluted water is generally not a problem for him. This also gives him a strong defense against diseases and other illness, but he can still get sick.
Toxin detection (Passive): Simply by entering a room or being near a contaminated object, Titus can detect a toxin, figure out what kind it is, and determine how much of it there is. He can even detect things like Carbon Monoxide, which is a deadly colorless and odorless gas. Through skin-to-skin contact or smelling breath, he can also tell if someone has ingested something toxic or taken an overdose of something.
Anti-toxin/anti-hallucinogenic (Passive): Any flowers blooming on Titus produce a scent that naturally counteracts airborne toxins and hallucinogenics. Consuming something off of him, either by brewing tea from his leaves or flowers or eating berries he provides you, can also cure poisoning and temporarily counteract delirium and hallucinations.
Poison drain (Active): Titus can take the toxic quality from something though direct skin to skin contact. He uses this ability primarily on plants or other small scale things that can be lethal if held or consumed. The effects are non-superficial and last as long as he'd like it to remain non-toxic.
Purification (Active): Using his entire body, skin, plants, and all, Titus can filter a toxin out of bodies of water, but it means having to take a nice long swim in said water until he's absorbed all the toxin. He can also filter a toxin out of a person or animal, but the palm of his hand must be wet and in contact with their skin for a long, long period of time.
Feather pen (Active): Can summon a feather filled with fluid for writing or defense by twirling his hand a bit with intent. The fluid is either toxic or non-toxic depending on the need. If used for writing, he can either drop the feather or twirl his hand in the opposite direction to make it disappear. If being used for defense he can either throw it or use it to jab his target, and he can summon another the same way once he lets go of the first.
FEEDING: Titus thrives off of any naturally occurring toxic plant, fungus, or animal venom. He can also eat from things that have gone bad or rotten and, if truly desperate, can even eat from the meat of a rotting animal. Man-made toxins and pollution are also options, but won't keep him satisfied as long. He can also eat berries and drink fresh juice for a quick energy boost.
APPEARANCE IDEAS:
- On the childish side as a frei, maybe young teen. - Purple hair? Purple eyes?? PURPLE??? - Some kind of cloak or hood.
Titus knows exactly who he is and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He seems to have knowledge and an opinion of almost everything in the world, and if he happens to come across something he doesn't understand or have an opinion of, he'll delve down deep into it until he's confident that he does. He prides himself on his ability to learn and regularly seeks out challenging subjects and materials to keep his mind sharp and free from boredom. There's rarely a day that goes by where Titus isn't watching, recording, and taking in information about something he's interested in.
Hand-in-hand with his confidence and intelligence comes the bitter taste of stubbornness and self-righteousness. If you don't understand what he's talking about or aren't able to see his perspective on something, your feelings and opinion are irrelevant to him. In fact, his feelings and opinion are superior until he's proven otherwise, and it's very difficult for him to accept that there may be other ways to learn or do something. He does what he wants the way he wants and doesn't accept anything he thinks is below his standards.
However, underneath this hot-air and terminology is a young man who genuinely cares about the world and people around him. He'll never express how much he really cares about his environment, but it can be seen in the way he behaves. He seems to make it a point not to let anyone know that he thinks of them, even if they're in his immediate family, and he'll fluster and blush under praise or recognition of a kind deed. He'll work through the night to find the right spell or remedy for someone's illness, only to drop it in front of them like it was no work at all. He'll also pretend that he doesn't want to hang out with someone while he's really enjoying every moment. Getting him to admit that he has interests that might not be scholarly or his level of intelligence is also borderline impossible.
Habits/quirks/other:
- Frequent use of the word "irrelevant." - Takes "notes" in a book he brings with him everywhere he goes. His notes vary from crude drawings of people or situations (Stick figures) to things of actual importance, like spells or recipes he wants to remember. He only shows it to people he trusts. - Has to preen himself before he leaves the house. His hair must be in alignment with his feathers lest he explodes. - Steals small, seemingly "irrelevant" things from others and hoards them. (Earrings, pencils, small coins, etc) Can be convinced to give them back. He also can't stop himself from taking home rocks or other natural things he likes while out for a walk and has to actively talk himself out of taking piles. - If someone were to confess their love to him, he'd probably cease all rational thought and panic. He's basically a tsundere, but one who could never handle an actual confession.

Guardian
Thomas Linderhill
Name: Thomas Linderhill Nicknames: Tommy Gender: Male Age: 43 Birthday: September 23rd, 1976 Zodiac signs: Virgo-Libra cusp/Fire Dragon Orientation/Preference: Gay/Homoromantic Status: Single and hopeful. (Plotted) Occupation: Sorcerer; Is well regarded in the community as an expert in his craft and highly respected because of his work ethic and family name Race: Human; white Appearance: Thomas stands tall at a whopping 6'5" with an average weight and stature for his age. He has pale, ivory skin, sports a triangle face, striking amber eyes and short, messy white hair. He prefers to wear dark shades like black and gray, but will wear green, blue, and brown, and likes to keep his style practical, clean, and comfortable outside of work. For work, he wears a large black robe over his usual clothes.
Thomas is, and has always been, a constant, stable, and dependable person. Even when the cards seem stacked against him and the world could crumble in his touch, Thomas has never let the possibility of failure get him down. He has always been able to adapt, grow, and flow with his circumstances and hopes to inspire the same attitude in others, while also understanding that he can never force another person to change. He'll be there when you need him and be on his way when you don't, and that's always been alright with him.
Social situations, however, have always has their rough starts for Thomas. He can never seem to start a conversation right and learn when to keep something to himself. This often leads to awkward encounters where he looks scatterbrained, as every topic leads to another story and another story leads to the time his mentor set the deck on fire and, before he knows it, he's talked the ears off of everyone. What's even more embarrassing for him is when he accidentally lets something secret or private slip out during a conversation and can't shut himself up in time. He's upset many a dinner social by doing that and written more apology letters than he can count on two hands.
His sense of humor is also a deal maker or deal breaker. He has a ravenous love of puns and corny, slapstick jokes that could make even the most child-at-heart pale with disgust. If anything, Thomas loves all things silly and being the reason someone laughs. Even when he's trying to flirt with someone he can't restrain himself from pulling out some kind of pun, gag, or corny joke from his personal collection, and hopes that, one day, he'll find that special person who will laugh just as hard as he does. Or, at the very least, find his attempts endearing instead of annoying.
Likes:
- Magic, potion-making, spellwork - Collecting wands, herbs, gemstones, and other magical objects - Salted caramel, coffee, and cinnamon rolls - Homemade soups - Reading sappy romance novels and really, really, corny joke books - Autumn, spring - Nighttime, very early morning - Deep dark forests, the sound of crickets - Fireflies, moths, and butterflies - Birds, feathers, cats
Dislikes:
- Smoke, smog, dense fog - Fire, humidity, summer - Heavy rain, storms, winter - Driving, long car rides - Mud, dirty shoes, getting wet - Accidentally offending someone, social events where he doesn't know anyone - Canned vegetables, tomato sauce, pasta - Shellfish, cod - Bitter or watery coffee - Perfume, cologne
History:
Thomas Linderhill and his twin brother Trevor were born to Ricio and Freya Linderhill on September 23rd, 1976 and raised with their older sister, Miranda, in a tight-knit community full of witchcraft and wizardry. Both of Thomas' parents had come from long family lines with some kind of magic and it wasn't long until Thomas was able to start casting magic of his own. He showed the most interest in sorcery out of his siblings and eagerly took to learning as much as he could from his relatives, mentors, and family friends.
His happy childhood was abruptly shaken at eleven, however, when his mother died in a tragic fire. She had died alongside Leia Damino, the mother of one of Thomas' closest friends, when a combination of baking grease and faulty wiring caused the kitchen oven to catch fire and engulf their cabin home in flames. Thomas' father did his best to pull himself together for his children and poured the pain of his grief into determination to give them the best life he could possibly offer them.
Unfortunately for Thomas, Ricio's enduring love was not entirely unconditional. At fourteen years old, Thomas found himself confronted by his father over who Thomas could love, and how he would not accept Thomas dating other boys. Thomas was forcefully taken to therapist after therapist who would try again and again to convince him that he wasn't gay. He endured two years of manipulation, emotional abuse, and threats until he was able to escape his home with the help of his friends Marcus Neilson and Asher Damino. He lived with Marcus' family until he turned eighteen and struck out on his own.
He quickly sought out an apprenticeship in his old community and found a new home under the wing of an aging sorcerer without a family of his own. It was a slow going bond at first, but as Thomas grew more and more through his teaching, so did their connection to one another. Thomas proved to be very gifted, however, and soon surpassed his mentor. The old sorcerer paid for him to go off to a top magic academy for further learning and, when Thomas graduated a few years later, left the house and all of his possessions to him shortly thereafter. Thomas credits his mentor with not only saving his life, but the start of his entire career.
It wasn't long after he graduated that Thomas started searching for love and a way to start a family. All the friends he'd kept in touch with had either gotten married or had children of their own and he wasn't going to lie and say he didn't have a case of baby fever. However, finding someone to settle down with wasn't as easy as romantic novels made it sound, and if he couldn't find a good man to marry first, he was sure he could be a fine single father. Instead of adopting a child, though, Thomas set his sights on a more long-term goal. A child, in his likeness, granted to him by deity based craft and prayer.
Finding a deity willing to work with him on this goal took some time, but his prayers were answered by a minor deity living among the people in Thomas' community, the deity of Bones. Thomas was given test after test over the course of a year until, one morning, he woke up to the crying of a baby left out on his porch. The note from Bones found with the infant said, simply, "Well, here you are. Good luck." Thomas, overjoyed, named his new son Freyr, after his departed grandmother.
Thirteen years later, Thomas has made a fine name for himself in his community and raised Freyr with all the love he could ever ask for. He and his father started reconciling when Freyr was a toddler and Thomas can honestly say that his father has changed for the better. However, though Thomas is perfectly happy with where he is and is loving life, he can't help but feel like his family is incomplete. He's still hoping to catch the heart of a special someone and find his happily ever after, but giving Freyr a younger sibling has also been on his mind. And, after a chance encounter with a raevan by the name of Laurel, he's thinking that he might know where to start his search.

Important Family
Brother
Name: Freyr Linderhill Nicknames: Frey Gender: Male Age: 13 Birthday: May 18th, 2006 Zodiac signs: Taurus; Fire Dog Orientation/Preference: Undecided/Uninterested Status: Single Occupation: Student at a magic academy; Currently spending time home recovering from a magical accident involving fire but will be returning once he's better Race: Human; white Appearance: Freyr, literally being a magical gift child given to Thomas 13 years ago and therefore having no biological mother, largely resembles his father in appearance. He has white hair, pale skin, and bright yellow eyes, but on a sweet, rounded face. Personality:
Freyr was given to Thomas Linderhill as a reward for his achievements and devotion to his craft by one of Thomas' patron deities. He was created to be solely Thomas' child, therefore having no biological mother, but isn't an exact copy of his father. He was also a very wanted child and Thomas had to prove he was worthy not only to the deity who would grant Freyr life, but to several other important magical figures. Luckily for Freyr, it didn't take Thomas long to prove his worth, and he was dropped off at his new home within a year of Thomas' initial petition.
Everything about Freyr's childhood has been great so far. He's never had to want for anything and he's confident that he's one of the luckiest kids in the world. The only possible thing that could be going better for him right now is his studies and abilities where magic is concerned. Unlike his father, Freyr has always struggled to learn and master spells, and has injured himself several times trying to learn even the most basic of spells. His professors aren't sure why he struggles so much, espescially since his father was such a natural, and Freyr often feels embarrassed as a result. He tries not to let it get him down, but he'd be lying if he said he was fine with watching all his fellow classmates move up to more difficult things while he's still getting the basics down.
At the moment, Freyr is staying home from school while he recovers from a rather nasty injury caused by a misfired fire spell. He's healing well enough with good old love and care from his father and is aware of his father's consideration of Lab 305. The thought of a future sibling is an exciting one to Freyr, and a sibling essentially made of magic is even sweeter.

A dense fog that drifted place to place and caused anyone caught in it to experience visual and auditory hallucinations. Victims have reported anything from the shadows of passed loved ones to grotesque beasts appearing around them, all whispering menacingly about past wrongdoings and the victim’s apparent shortcomings, before vanishing and leaving them cold, damp, and terrified. The essence itself is a portion of this fog and, though contained tightly in it’s jar, a faint face, hand, or claw will sometimes manifest from within the clouds. Opening the jar is not recommended.
Sun Seeds
A scattering of brightly glowing seeds unearthed from the ground of a, now, barren sunflower farm. The seeds are extremely hot and cannot be burned, roasted, or otherwise catch flame, but exposure to darkness and cold makes them safer to handle. It was said that the sunflowers these seeds grew were sought after for their otherworldly glow and it’s supposed anti-aging effects, even though prolonged exposure could cause blindness. Unfortunately due to the popularity of the legend, the farm was a target of many, often violent, thefts that forced the owner of the farm to flee and leave the land to dry up. Attempts to grow the flowers without their knowledge have yielded no results.
(Og origin story below) A scattering of brightly glowing sunflower seeds. They’re extremely hot and cannot be roasted, burned, or otherwise catch flame, but placing them in total darkness or a freezer makes them briefly safe for handling. It’s said that the sunflowers that produced these seeds glowed so incredibly bright that they caused those that looked at them to go blind, but tea brewed from their flowers was said to cure all ailments. Attempts to grow one of these flowers in a controlled environment have yielded poor, if any, results, and the last known person to successfully grow one has been lost to time.
Other essences
Any Flavor Jalapeños
Basically a handful of peppers thst don’t taste like peppers at all and instead taste like something else from bite to bite. The flavors can be any natural flavor, though, and it’s not necessarily tasty. (Like that gum from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory only it can go from tasty sugar or cinnamon to bog water or horse poop without warning)
Unstable chestnuts
A single chestnut sitting among the remains of several others. The tree these came from drops it’s seeds like any other, only for them to explode like mini bombs upon contact with the ground, causing injuries to local wildlife, people, and continuous scarring to the earth surrounding it. Aside from the obvious danger, the tree’s status as one of the most ancient trees in the world is the only other thing keeping it from being destroyed. Steady hands and careful movements are required when handling this jar.
Raevans
"Cersei" (Updated 4/9/19)
NAME Cersei (May change; Open to suggestions!) GENDER Female ALIGNMENT :Lawful Neutral SOUL CHOICE :Nure Onago FEL ESSENCE: Haunting Fog FOOD SOURCES: Fog or steam (Primary; Saunas and steam rooms are like restaurants; Can shower and eat at the same time); Smiles/laughter (Secondary; More like coffee or a snack to her than a meal. Quick energy); Condensation or water (Desperation; Will sustain but not fill)
POWERS :
All Smiles: Like a yawn, Cersei’s smile tends to make others smile. Even when someone is crying or angry, their lips will curve upward or spread into a brief grin. (Passive)
Smile Sonar: (Passive)
Disperse: (Passive/Active)
Evaporate: (Passive/Active)
Opacity: (Passive/Active; TENTATIVE might scrap)
APPEARANCE IDEAS:
PERSONALITY : (This is pretty much where I'm going with her below. I will, eventually, make this into a real personality blurb. It's word salad for now)
A prim, proper, princess without the whiny "BUT I'M A PRINCESS AND I GET WHAT I WANT" trait. She's the nose in the air version who thinks she's better than everyone else because of her "status" or looks, but not completely devoid of charity and compassion. She would never admit to being soft or actually caring because that would break down the "mysterious, calm, and composed" face she shows in public.
She tends to read others like books, honing in on their "weaknesses" and "flaws" and using them to her advantage. She likes to gossip, but not out in the open and absolutely cannot take any criticism of herself. Her temper is defensive, flaring only when she feels vulnerable or threatened.
She is easily bored and likes to travel (or "sight-see" as she calls it). She prefers company when she goes out, espescially if she's going shopping. She aims to befriend other girls and doesn't seem interested in meeting boys. Those who like makeup, water, soap operas/horror movies, nature, fashion, and travel blogs will get along with her most.
If she can't get out of the house, she'll daydream and fantasize about a life where she's whisked away by a princess knight and her guardian will introduce her to romance novels and tv dramas. She'll try her hand at writing her own stories and find a love of theater somewhere along the lines. Will most likely love fan-fiction and be frustrated by the lack of wlw representation. (AND THEN TRY TO CREATE HER OWN...)
Will not admit attachment to her guardian. Their relationship will be like family, but it will take a bit for it to feel like a mother/daughter dynamic. It'll feel more like an aunt/niece kind of thing until she's older and can accept that she loves her "momma." There will be some struggle between them as she grows, but more of a struggle over appearances, confidence, and ideas of self rather than the traditional mother/daughter spats.
The horrors of pollution and other marine/sea based travesties will be dear to her heart and she'll learn to fight tooth and nail to end them. Her favorite animals will be seals, koi, and jellyfish. However, in a stark contrast, her favorite meal as a sigel will be sushi.
Siobhan/Seneca (Updated 1/8/19)
NAME Siobhan/Seneca (Tentative; Still love Seneca because of it's natural aesthetic but Siobhan is Irish and would fit better with the family she'd be entering) GENDER Female or Neutral with feminine lean (She pronouns) ALIGNMENT : Chaotic Good SOUL CHOICE :Troll FEL ESSENCE: ? POWERS :

Don’t watch sad movies with her unless you have tissues. - Imaginative, creative, and empathetic. - Wants to be the responsible mom friend but ends up being the peppy, caring older sister instead. - Don’t mess with the forest or nature or she’ll... Be very disappointed in you and why would you try to hurt the trees and make her cry? She still loves you but why? - Plants are friends AND they can totally feel your bad vibes. - Have you tried meditation? Eating this? Drinking that? Cleansing your ears? Trust her, something will work. You just have to keep trying.

Soul Suggestions
These are souls I would LOVE to see as Raevans made for sales or used as concepts by others. I’ll cross them off if they’re used or a part of a serious quest. (As in, someone is actively trying to get that soul. I’ll also link to the quest or journal if the Raevan gets made)
Might find the time work on "Cersei" and her guardian while I wait for Laurel's quest approval, but I feel like she needs a name change. I'd be open to suggestions!
"Cersei" has been nudged aside in favor of Titus.
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2019 9:01 pm
I actually finished a concept wow Titus and his guardian (and basically everything else...?) are up for viewing/commenting Have at 'em if you like
(Thomas will have a ref someday? I can't find a ref maker that satisfies me yet ugh)
