Real Life

Raven's been playing Minecraft since about...2012-2013ish. Got into it first through the Yogscast and the rest is history. Raven's primary skill is in building. They are a builder and moderator for an undisclosed group of servers (for privacy reasons). Though they don't absolutely suck in general survival skills and things like minigames or parkour, it's not what they place focus on. Minecraft combat is their major weakness as it's something they try to avoid a lot, playing survival worlds in Peaceful a lot of the time.

Raven likes to build various different things. Terraforming, little houses, castles/temples, statues and big versions of things, modern/city buildings, all those and more Raven has done. They're not quite as good at furnishing buildings and setting up rooms as the outer shell process.

Raven posts Minecraft videos on Youtube, along with other videos on a general variety channel.

Raven, in their combat-avoidance tendencies, has never beaten Minecraft legit despite playing for years.

Raven the roleplay character is different from Raven the person. While some personality traits may cross over, there are differences in personal issues, preferences, and general backstory.

Bio:

Raven's appearance is of a black figure with yellow eyes. Their primary outfit is a red hoodie, blue jeans, and gray shoes. Raven is a shapeshifter and has the ability to morph their body at will. However, they aren't able to make perfect copies and end up rather malformed and retain the same coloring. Their closest and most refined morph is that of a zombie, though still imperfect, so they keep that shape for its ease. Raven isn't a true "Player," rather a separate entity that can pose as one.

Raven's skin was created by someone else a long time ago.

Personality:

Raven avoids violence and killing other creatures. They didn't even really recognize death for what it was for a bit. The concept of killing mobs for their resources takes a long time to get used to, as it wasn't even an option in their mind for a while. Raven spends their formative years in a cold biome, and so has a preference to warmer biomes once introduced to them.

Raven has a somewhat odd taste in music, finding Disc 13 soothing for instance. They have a hard time keeping track of where they are and so start feeling lost rather easily if they don't take proper measures. They hate the feeling a lot. They're pretty bad at naming things, sticking to rather basic noun descriptions. They really love cake and pie and can't avoid picking up an egg if they see one.

Raven has a kind, if somewhat nervous, disposition. They like making friends and helping people. They are very curious and love to learn new things but are enough of a cautious person that they don't do anything too brash. They stumble over their words sometimes and may repeat things or have vocal ticks. They could become a doormat if they aren't careful. They're a bit forgetful. They like animals a lot.

Backstory:

Raven was created by an Evoker within a broken world. The world lacked a Player, and so lacked many fundamental parts like mob aggression, dimensional portal and mob knowledge, and a dragon for a Player to defeat. The Evoker created Raven from the world's own broken cracks ("glitch material" or "void" of sorts) to try and fix the issues. Upon Raven's creation though, the Evoker and his partner ran in fear. Whether or not they survived Raven's infancy is left to interpretation.

Raven then wandered around, morphing as mobs to try and blend in and learn about how to live in the world. Finally, they ended up in a village and were mistaken as a Player and taken in. They lived there for some years and were taught various things that were within a Villager's realm of knowledge. Eventually they set out on their own "Player" journey. They made discoveries about the world and its dimensions, finally reaching The End. There was nothing there except for an already active fountain. They jumped in and met Green and Cyan.

Unique lore for the character is that the dirt screen you see while in menu screens, error screens, and the End Poem is its own plane of reality, part of, but still separate from the physical universe that worlds and servers occupy. Living in The Liminal are two beings, Green and Cyan, who transcended the universe and watch over everything. They give their speech to the Players that manage to blip into The Liminal briefly. Green and Cyan appreciate Raven's efforts in becoming their own entity and developing a true sense of self and passing an altered gauntlet that normal Players go through. So, they gift Raven the ability to travel between worlds as Players do, letting them escape the broken one like no other mob can. Raven then goes hopping to various worlds and servers, learning from Players they meet.

It is subtly implied that due to Raven's unique morphology, they may be able to someday join Green and Cyan in rank, though it would take thousands of years. It's all very baby eldritch creature stuff, for OP fun.
