Corvo, the Crow

History/About Me: Born in the Southern US, Evan grew up in a small, culturally dominated environment where his friends were generally all the same age and had the same experiences he did. It wasn't until after college that he started to meet new people or try new things. Once he got into games, writing, and drinking, he met all manner of people who changed his perspective drastically. It was easy for him after that, when his personality blossomed and he started making friends like it was an art form.

His parents were initially against the idea of a game that drew its players out of reality, but since he was already an adult, resistance seemed futile. Obviously, the rued that decision once he was trapped inside of SAO.

He quickly decided to take on the persona of Corvo, a crass killer who was more loner than friend to anyone. His Black Brothers are the only people he feels any kinship or loyalty to, but over time he can grow to trust others. The people who are his friends and allies get to see a rare side of him, such that they wouldn't believe he was the same person they met when Corvo was about all his antics. @Arc is one of his best friends outside the game, and along with Ishmael, they are the only people he opens up to.

Oh, and he has a fixation with pipe tobacco.

Flaws and Virtues:

+Crow of the Black Brothers: In his gaming experience, Corvo has learned to interact with parties and guild mates in order to achieve various goals. While he's still not thrilled about certain social aspects of the game- especially with regard to people he does not know well- he does not make a fuss when he's in those situations. He is rude at best, but more than capable of becoming disrespectful if the situation calls for it. Despite that, Corvo is a damn reliable DPS. He knows how to control his aggro and back off when he's getting too hot.

Lore Fanatic: Above all else, good stories call this bird home to roost. Corvo jumps at any chance to sate his love of lore, even so far as to cast aside his crude persona to talk about it at length. He can go on for hours about a tale, even if no one else is listening. Obviously, he prefers to be heard- the center of attention, if he can help it. EVERYONE should love Lore, right?

GUNS, RAZORS, KNIVES: Okay, so maybe not guns, but blades of any kind excite Corvo to no end. Blacksmithing fascinates him, and every time he gets hold of a new blade, he just has to try it. His training outside the game consists of martial arts (he's a black belt! Oh ho ho!) and knife fighting. This gives him an edge over the gamers who chose to do this without that real life experience.

+/-The Bloodlust: In combat, there's only one real way to describe him. Violence. It's not hate or anger that drives him- Corvo is a force of nature. His training in real life has been self-defense and knife fighting- so extreme, so concentrated that he disassociates from the act of rendering a foe incapable of action. If he's set on a fight, it will take more than one player to pull him off an unfortunate victim.

-Vain: Corvo is nothing if not self absorbed. At the very least, he comports himself in a way that is immensely confident and overdone at all times. He has a serious streak, and is capable of breaking his comically Narcissistic character, but he is generally loathe to do so.

-Crude: Let's be honest; in a world with ethics coding, it's not the easiest setting to thrive when you have the mouth of a sailor. Until he learned to disable some of the vulgarity features, Corvo found nearly half of his vocabulary to be replaced with subtle beeps and blanked out documents. He's since toned down the worst of his obscenities, but he is still known for his colorful and extensive cursing. You could call this guy the dictionary for filth.

-Callous: If you aren't one of his good friends, Corvo generally doesn't give a rip about you. It took years for him to get close with the best of his friends, and they still get shoved to arm's length sometimes. If you cross him, it won't hurt his feelings to put a knife between your shoulder blades. Corvo's not a killer by nature, but he's the least likely to lose sleep over doing what he has to do.
