Physical Description

Raven Tsillah is a healthy male, 1.85m (6.06ft), 82kg (180.8lbs), he is currently 25 years old. With black hair and green eyes, his skin is relatively white. He wears black clothing with silver outlines and a few discreet silver ornaments. Ornaments given by his lost family a sad reminder of all that is lost.

Personality

Raven Tsillah is a calm, quiet, strategic person.. He enjoys a little of small talk an attempt to forget his past.. In matters of strategy and combat he is often direct, but when it comes to conversations and small talks he's usually polite. Despite his politeness towards the general person he doesn't trust easily due to his past experiences, however, in the possibility of trusting someone he'll become extreme loyal, and will do anything in his power to protect that person. When it comes to his enemies he feels he has no reason to care for them, to him an enemy will always be simply a target to to take down no matter what. As a silent killer, who acts in the shadows he prefers to do things alone, however, if he does trust someone he might include that person in his plans.. Usually to be left unnoticed and the less people look at him the best. The ornaments he wears were given by his lost family a sad reminder of all that is lost, yet he can't let go of them, despite reminding him of all that is lost.. Those ornaments are all he has left to remember that deep down he can endure the torture the god has given him.

Raven doesn't fight/kill's for so called "good reasons" neither does he do it for "evil reasons", he fights and kills for his own survival..
Raven's quote: "What's one more dead body?"

Personality Changes

Due to the unfair encounter Raven and his family had against the Greek God of Nightamares, he was embedded with a weaker manifestation of that God.. Because of that he now must consume dreams from a sleeping person, and as a consequence the targeted person might either stop dreaming or might starting to have nightmares. However Raven doesn't enjoy it, neither approves it, he merely does it to survive and to not succumb to the entity of the god. But should Raven resist his hunger for far too long, he and the god start fighting for the control of the body, his personality alters into something unknown and utter chaos would result from not satiating his hunger, however, if Raven starts to consume dreams non-stop, not resisting to that temptation, the God will certainly take over his body leaving Raven simply as "audience" to the God's "show".

Medieval Greece

Born in Greece, Thessaloniki a welcoming city very close to the legendary Mount Olympus, Raven's father, Sa'd Tsillah was Egyptian and his mother was Greek, his father had travelled to Greece very young in age, marrying to his mother Astraea Tsillah. He was given the name of Raven Tsillah, meaning The Shadows' Carnage, a fitting name for whom Raven would become. 

Raven had 1 brother and 1 sister older than him, both trained by his father, a fugitive from Egypt who used to be one of the best assassins from Egypt, and his mother the daughter of a powerful and rich greek family. All of Raven's family was trained into being the perfect silent murder machines, without knowing nothing more that killing, Raven became extremely efficient, quick and stealthy. His family would take any type of contracts, be it spying or killing.. No matter the type of contract Raven always exceled at what he did, showing immense skill in killing his targets, being stealthy, stealing and traveling through the shadows undetected. With time his family became too powerful to some unhappy "competitors".

A Nightmare's Betrayal

Raven was now 25 years old, he kept showing impressive skills and determination having grown to earn a reputation of his own. Despite the meaning of his name, outside of his family there was some who dared crowning him with the title "The Shadows' Reaper", no one who had become his target lived to tell the story, but his and his family's fame grew to big.

Some of the most powerful people of Greece, joined forces and gave the entire family a contract to lure them into a trap, a trap so deadly none of them would escape leaving only dead bodies behind.. With time and patience those same people made all the necessary preparations to bait the family into the trap, and so the time had arrived..

Raven and his family after some studying of the building and the fake targets they were given, headed to the site. Quick and silent as they were they arrived in no time, each one entered through a different entry, all of them positioned quickly.. In a quick look they tried to spot their targets, but no one was in sight.. Raven knew something was wrong but it was too late, all of the doors, windows and other possible escape routes were now closed, destroyed.. They were trapped.. A sudden deep voice, spoke:

- My name is Ephialtes, the God of Nightmares, The Black Dream.. Trapped inside of this build for ages, centuries! I thank you.. No.. Ahahah how amusing.. I thank instead to the ones who betrayed you for having lured everyone in here.. Finally.. I'll feast on your hopes and dreams..

As soon as the voice ended, a shadow in human form began to appear in the center in the building, as if in a stage. Quickly Raven and all of his family dashed trying to fight the god, to escape.. Their hopes and dreams were feeding the God.. Raven knew it, as in every contract he became emotionless once more.. The God unable to feast in his dreams, hopes and fears, started too crumble.. But was already too late.. 
By the time Raven finally won, by the time when the god dissipated.. His mother, his father and brothers were now lifeless in the floor.. With tears in his eyes, pain and anguish overcame his heart and the fallen God saw a change.. Some would say it was a god's blessing, but this.. For Raven this was a curse.. The God cursed Raven with some of his powers, becoming a manifestation of Ephialtes The God of Nightmares.. Now cursed, true Raven now had grown stronger, but now to survive, to endure the god's influence Raven had to feast on other's dreams.. But should Raven let loose and feast with no limits, or should he deny himself the food his mind now craves, the God will take over and chaos would be unleashed.

Present Day

Lone doomed to be cursed until the day he succumbs, Raven wanders the world trying to escape his past, attempting to forget his own living nightmare.. Anything that keeps him busy, anything that distracts him, he'll take it.. All he seeks is peace of mind..

The End
