AGE 100+
D.O.B ?
SPECIES valravn
HEIGHT 5'2"
CANON original
FACECLAIM surjaya dasgupta
PITCH the result of what happens when a death cult pours all of their sins into one person, only to have that person's heart be eaten by a raven; which turned into a monster, which turned into a woman, which turned into the vessel for all the cult's sins
"carrying such feelings is too much for one little heart, too much for one body. there must be some hope of shedding regret, grief, sorrow, sloughing them off like a skin and going into death free and light. else we'd never be able to live."
SETTING urban fantasy or regular fantasy
AESTHETIC black paint smeared over brown skin / a wing, tattered / gleaming fangs in a cold night / breath steaming in winter air / a ribcage cracked open / watchful dark eyes amid a starlit night

APPEARANCE the vessel is a woman of nearly medium height, with brown skin, dark eyes, and dark hair worn long. she often wears warpaint made from blood or ash, smeared in lines over her face βΈ» in a wide swathe over her mouth, or her eyes
BACKGROUND once, in a remote forest town in denmark, there was a death cult. they worshipped a local god of death, a creature of black mass and writhing tentacles, a creature that none of them fully knew the name of, or even what it truly looked like. to service this god, the cult would sacrifice people to its bloodied maw, hoping that in exchange the god would grant them immortal life, freedom from the death they claimed to worship
but even devoted cults cannot murder without a stain on their conscience, and so, the cult devised a plan to rid themselves of their sins. they picked a junior member βΈ» a girl, no more than thirteen, largely innocent of their ways βΈ» and they conducted a ritual that channeled all of their sins into her. unable to take the weight, she soon died as her heart gave out. and as the cult dumped her body in the snow fields outside their town, a lone raven spiraled down from the sky, landed upon the girl's chest which had burst open from the sheer force of black emotion, and feasted upon her heart
it turned into a valravn; a danish legend once spoke of a knight who transformed into a raven who could only be cured by drinking bloodβΈ» here, it happened in reverse. a raven ate a heart and became a monster, which then became a woman
at first, the cult had no idea what to do with her. she spoke little, and seemed unbothered to learn any of humanity's ways. it was soon discovered that not only did she house all of the sins that the cult had funneled into the girl, but she also had the ability to take more. to suck dry people's guilt and horror, to eat their memories like a wolf cracks the marrow out of a bone. to erase their sins, as surely as the first ritual had intended. and so, the cult kept her. giving her no name, she was known merely as the vessel
for a time, the vessel was content to live on the outskirts of the small town, surviving in the woods and among the snow, only emerging when the cult called for her to do her duty. but as decades passed, the truth of the death god began to came to light. it was no god, but merely a parasite feeding on the weak wills of humans. the death cult slowly withered, until one day, it was gone, but the vessel still remained. with no duty remaining, she began to travel. at first, just through denmark, but then eventually, the rest of the world
now, the vessel exists on the outskirts of cities and towns, barely bothering to try to fit in. she still has not learned much about the way of human society, only what her observations have taught her, but she remains curiously fascinated with it, watching it from afar
PERSONALITY the vessel is a woman of few words; she prefers to remain silent and let others do the talking, but is capable of carrying a conversation when she needs to. largely asocial by habit, she nonetheless wants to be with people, but has no idea how, and is still wary of the idea βΈ» the one group of people that she had regular contact with, the death cult, weren't exactly shining examples of humanity. she is curious about human society, but hesitant of getting too close
at heart, she is a person of small but significant comforts. she is happiest when she is warm and fed, and doesn't care much about what surroundings she does it in. she's a talented hunter of prey for food, though she hasn't had any real cause to test herself in combat against people. the vessel is especially drawn to people that are warm-hearted, and display empathy freely, both traits she hadn't much observed in the death cult. she's prone to finding beauty in simple things βΈ» a sunrise, a mountain, a cat's soft coat βΈ» and doesn't care much for complexities
the vessel is incredibly straightforward, and says what she means, having little time for bullshit. while not overly socially intelligent, she is nonetheless perceptive, though she tends to try to read people using animal body language, which sometimes fails
IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL a face set in a deliberately blank expression, long wild hair with beads and the occasional braid, dark eyes somehow both empty and wild
ATTIRE the vessel wears whatever she can find: dark, tattered clothing that covers almost all of her skin, scarves to protect her throat, long coats to brace against the winter chill
DEMEANOUR she moves like a stalking animal, like a raven about to take flight. in her element, the vessel is graceful and confident. when exposed to things she's uncertain about, she is hesitant, and often stays still like she's trying to avoid motion-triggered sight
AURAL a rough, low voice, made raspy by lack of talking
OLFACTORY pine needles and snow, charcoal ash
SIN EATER:
I was formed to fill that hollow
Cut the cord, but still we're tied
To the shame of legacy
Prehistoric, hollow-eyed
ABILITIES
RAVEN FORM the vessel was originally a normal raven, and she can still turn back into that form
VALRAVN FORM after consuming the human heart, she turned into a monstrous valravn; a creature with a wolf body and a raven's head and wings, a form which she can change into at will
ASTRAL TRAVEL the vessel can travel enormous distances in a short span of time in her raven or valravn form, easily able to cross oceans and countries SIN EATER the vessel is capable of consuming memories and emotions related to that which a person feels guilty about
