Character Personality: Raven is a mysterious, stoic griffon with a poker face that can never be read. He usually removes himself from conflicts and situations, but if he knows he is needed and that there is no other choice he will act without hesitation. He takes orders from nothing, no matter their power or authority, even the princesses could never make him bow. his spirit is resilient, and he has an aura of terror to those uneducated about him. He is actually very kind deep, deep, deep down... but this side of him has yet to be seen by anybody (usually because he's too scary for normal ponies to approach... and that he won't interact with any other species).



Bio: Raven's origins are unknown to all, and you would never figure them out if you asked him. His first appearance as far as memory stretches by other ponies is when he had shown up one day, un-announced, unexpected and without warning in a small settlement to the north. An elder had died of old age, and he appeared offering his services. He took one look at the old pony and set to work on a coffin of beauty unmatched by anything the ponies had seen before. Raven hosted the burial, and left before they could even ask his name. HE made several more appearances in other towns, becoming an folktale. Rumors sprung up about him, that he was a demon sent nightmare moon, that he was a monster who ate the souls of the dead, some thought he didn't even exist, others still think its a family that passes the role from father to son every generation.

His appearances in villages ended abruptly however, and most thought he had died of old age... however this was not the case. instead he had claimed several dozen acres of land, and had constructed a graveyard for travelers and merchants to find peace. it was here he stayed, guarding the burial ground as if it were holy land. Recently, Diamond dogs have started invading his land, while it is only small bands, he is unsure how long it is before greater numbers arrive.

What type of griffon is he? Raptor/Big-Cat combo, that is.

Edited, hope i put it in the right place (sorry, first griffon character)

[Stygg Whitefeather]

Believe this would be our first vulture cat-bird. I was a little reluctant to accept that at first, but Cathartidae (vultures) are the same Order as eagles/hawks/osprey so you're good to go.

Where do you plan to have him operate out of the most, out of curiosity?

Also please make a separate account for this character. It's so we can track individual character progress.

[Dr. Scalpel]

Second account coming up

also I had an idea or two... and then Canterlot was more or less razed... back to the drawing boards.
