Profile

This is an AU Crow from the City of Vide Noir (Noirverse character).

Crow "the Blackwing" is human, but what's called a physiological Adept: a human with advanced, borderline supernatural, physical abilities. In Crow's case, his dexterity, agility, and (to a lesser degree) his speed are enhanced, as well as his climbing skills. He's also a trained traceur (a practitioner of parkour).

Because of these abilities, Crow is a master thief. Though he's been arrested multiple times for various offenses, he's gotten away with it far more than he's been caught. Pickpocketing, breaking and entering, grifting... if it means taking from people he feels don't deserve what they have, he'll do it. He's a bit like Noirverse's Robin Hood, except he works alone.

Despite Crow's Adept powers, he has a weakness: his stamina and physical constitution are seriously impacted due to an attack when he was a young child. Demons murdered his parents and tortured him, their poison claws leaving him scarred and sick. He spent months in a comatose state in a Guild-run hospital ward before being sent to an orphanage, where he had to re-learn how to walk. The poison also impacted his growth, so Crow is noticeably small and slight for his age, barely five-foot-two and appearing far younger than his current seventeen years. He tires out easily and is prone to illness. Distance running or heavy exertion tends to make him faint.

(Oh, and the name the Guild orphanage gave him is actually Corbin Hogan, since Corbin means "crow" and he was a little thief even back then, but don't call him Corbin. He hates it.)
