* **Racial Traits** - Some perks come from just being born. In Ravnir's case, there's plenty of physical benefits.

* **Plated Scales** - Ravnir's plated scales are nearly impervious to conventional weapons fire. His joints and belly are not as well armored, but are still highly resistant to small arms fire. This protection extends to fire and some acids.

* **Brute Strength** - Ravnir is a Raiken, which means his strength could be compared to construction equipment. He is capable of breaking walls, throwing lighter cars, and breaking lesser beings without much effort. He is capable of lifting and moving things weighing less than him with minimal effort. Lifting things larger or heavier than him takes effort, but he can lift up to twice his own weight over his head. This does leads to issues when he is trying to be gentle. He frequently breaks things when he does not mean to.

* **Minor Regeneration** - Like all Raiken, Ravnir's possesses a second circulatory system dedicated to healing and repairing the body. This will not help him in combat, but it is invaluable during recovery from severe wounds.

* **Tail** - Ravnir's tail and the bladed-end of it, are not just for show. They are more than effective at being used as weapons or tools. His tail does lack fine motor control however, which means it cannot be used to grasp or wrap around things effectively.

* **Electrical Resistance** - Although Ravnir's scales are metallic in nature, they are equally rock-like in nature. Lightning attacks are more likely to target him, but his more rock-like parts diffuse the damage. It's still a stunning experience for him.

* **Spellcasting** - As a caster, Ravnir has practiced long and hard to refine his technique. Even though he's regarded as a heretic among his own people, Ravnir believes his magic is a gift from the Roshya.

* **Quick Cast - Delsir** - Ravnir is more familiar with Delsir than any other spell. He is more adept at casting it to create his favored weapon, Cirul Aira.

* **Endurance** - Ravnir is physically healthy and can cast several spells before starting to feel minor side effects from overuse of magic. He cannot cast indefinitely however, especially if he is wounded. The weaker he becomes, the greater the chance he will black out when attempting a spell or for the spell to go wrong.

* **Erinsa** - 'Move or Shift' - Erinsa has a wide variety of applications, from simply shifting an object a few meters to creating a miniature earthquake. In combat, Ravnir will typically use Erinsa to disrupt and disorient his opponents while he takes advantage of said disorientation. Still, he will use it for utility. To cast it, Ravnir plants his foot firmly on the ground and shifts his heel.

* **Lorsk** - 'Want' - Lorsk is a spell that is intertwined with its casters 'soul'. It embodies their personal spark, making it a very emotionally charged spell. Ravnir's spark is bound to flame, as he burns with a desire to belong with his kin, even when they do not recognize him as anything but an abomination. Lorsk has a wide-range of effects, all linked to how Ravnir feels. When he is angry, flames erupt around him. When he is sad, it will produce nothing but a small flame in his hand. To cast it, Ravnir places a hand over his heart and bows his head.

* **Sadi** - 'Fire' - A simple, yet infinitely complex spell, Sadi summons forth fire from the caster. When used alone, Sadi typically results in a gout of flame erupting from the caster's palm, although it can be utilized in other ways. Typically, Sadi is combined with other spells to create various results.

He grew like any other, quickly. Although, while his compatriots grew in size and height, Ravnir only grew in height. He wasn't saved from the ridicule it brought on from some of his peers. To be a Raiken was to be strong and Ravnir certainly didn't look it with his lanky appearance, despite all the work in the fields. He dealt with it and dealt with those who thought to challenge the 'weakling'. It was during one of those spars that his magical talent came forth. Ravnir cast 'Lorsk' for his first time and in his anger, he had killed his opponent.

The Clan was willing to overlook the murder, as it was somewhat common during spars, but they weren't willing to overlook the means. Magic. Priests were called in to talk with Ravnir, but he was treated more like a prisoner. He had no idea what he had done or how he had done it, but they kept asking. After so long, Ravnir was fed up with it. He escaped and ran from Clan grounds. He stowed himself away on a cargo vessel at the nearest spaceport while the church and police hunted for him.

Ravnir has been traveling for years, learning about the wider world's beautiful and ugly sides. He's been around, always looking for something new, making the best of his exile. His inherent curiosity led him to deepen his connection to his magic and ponder the world. Currently, he's doing as he has always done, wandering between planets, running from the Alliance if he thought they were close or following rumors of something interesting to be found. He spends a lot of time in taverns, bars, and pubs as well, trying to find the camaraderie and brotherhood that his kin always shared.

Ravnir is rather poor, although he does not see himself as poor. Where he comes from, there is no currency, so he does not see having a lack of currency as a problem. He does see having a distinct lack of food as a problem and he will frequently trade favors for some. Either that or he steals it with little thought to the consequences. As such, he is frequently relocating to avoid potential pursuers and authorities.
