Character Name: Eric Draven, otherwise known as “The Crow”.
Gender: Male.
Age: 27.
Race: Human.
Background: On Devil’s Night, October 30th, in the city of Detroit, a disgusting crime was taking place. Having refused to be wrongly evicted from their apartment, a locally notorious gang of criminals broke into the apartment of Eric Draven, guitarist of the band Hangman’s Joke, and Shelly Webster, his fiancé; only the latter was present. In a vicious assault Shelly was physically beaten, cut and raped, several times by each member of the gang. Eric happened to return home while all this was happening, and despite his best efforts, he was quickly subdued, beaten and forced to watch. Unable to bare seeing his beloved go through such sickening things, Eric again tried to save her but was stabbed, shot and then thrown from a circular window of the apartment, falling to his death. Shelly died from the ordeal, 12 hours later in hospital, and those at fault were never held for their crimes. All this happened the day before they were to be married, on the 31st of October, Halloween…it’s been a year since that day.
Abilities: Enhanced strength and agility, rapidly accelerated healing, resistance to injury and pain, and he can see through the eyes of the crow.
Flaws/Personality traits: Eric was once a fun-loving, down to earth guy, who cared for his fiancé more than anything else in the world, but with his rebirth he found himself consumed with hatred and a terrible lust for revenge, at all costs. This obsession often clouds his judgement.
Physical description: Eric is of a slender build, muscular and defined to an extent. Raven black hair falls down to his shoulders, the same colour as his attire, which consists of leather boots and trousers, a tight fitting long-sleeved top and a full length leather jacket. Potentially the most intimidating and daunting feature is that his face is painted in the style of a Greek comedy masquerade mask he found in his and Shelly's loft apartment. The patterns includes white paint placed over the face with black paint around eyes, black vertical lines over eyes, black paint on lips and a black horizontal line over the mouth; "painting his face in the colours of joy".
Aspirations: Eric aspires only to avenge his murdered beloved and kill those responsible for her death. Everything else pales in comparison. There will be no mercy for those who tore his world asunder.
Misc.: Before his untimely death, Eric was a rock musician, the guitarist and backing singer of a band called Hangman’s Joke, and as such is musically talented. He is also always accompanied by a Crow, his guide and the source of his power. Eric alone can hear the crow’s whispers of guidance and advice, and to anyone else it seems like a normal bird. Another guide, of sorts, to Eric is the “Skull Cowboy”; a skull faced Spector who is a manifestation of death itself and mainly mocks Eric and his predicament, with advice twisted into it.
