Rav was a shy child who was raised in the city of Urû'baen by his neglecting father. He had no real friends there except a strange dark green rat who schooled him about magic and distant lands he had never been to. The streets of Urû'baen have taught him to fear the dark so he rarely stayed out after dark. He always wandered the streets, often to steal and usually to wonder about the meaning of life. Sometimes he would steal books, scrolls, and other writings from the nobles to feed his need for knowledge. He is more concerned with the why and how and not so much the what. He loved animals. Since he was a small child he had been able to communicate with animals and on rare occasions humans. At times it may have seemed as if he cared for the animals more than people. His father was a slavehandler under the service of Galbatorix, and as so treated him very badly. The boy has no love for authority and feels pity for the slaves his father mistreated. Although its his nature to shy away from human contact, he does desire to help others in need. His current thoughts dwell on finding acceptance and finding his role in life. He is eager to fight against the Empire; however, his distrust of authority is strong and he is not eager to join the Varden. He wishes to roam freely and answer to none.

Character History: At least 15 lines.

This is a brief summary of the story that follows.

Rav was raised by a slavehandler in the city of Urû'baen. His father was never kind to him and he lacked any real friends except the animals he could communicate with. He had learned the basic of magic from a strange dark green rat who knew of strange places far away. He had access to books because he would often steal from the supply caravans that would supply the nobility of the Empire with the luxuries of life. He did not believe stealing was good, but he had no hard feelings about stealing from those who pleasured themselves in the suffering of others. His daily routine had been to leave his father's estate after his father left for work so he could listen to the teachings of the rat and wonder the streets looking for anything interesting to steal. He did what he could to avoid his father. His father was a cruel slavehandler who sometimes enjoyed taking his son to the camps and making him punish the slaves. His father did not take no for an answer and was not afraid to turn his hatred of slaves upon his on, and Rav had the scars to prove it. One day he refused his father's command to whip a child who had injured himself. Infuriated, his father began to beat his son. The extreme hate inside for his father gave Rav the will he needed to find his ability to use magic, and he flung a stone which incapacitated his father. He took his father's sword and turned it against his father. When they attacked him, he killed the slavehandlers at the camp and then he released all of the slaves. He told the slaves to flee to Surda while he himself fled east. Thorn and Murtag were sent to find him but he disguised himself by immitating the thoughts of a nearby squirrel. He had finally stood up to his father and the Empire he hated so much, but at what cost? He knew none would trust a wonderer, murderer, or the son of the King's nobility so he decided to hide his past. Unsure as to where he should go, he simply kept walking east.


Weapons: At least a 2 line description for each weapon, if it isn't plain.

He currently only has the sword of his slain father, a standard issue one handed iron blade.

Dislikes: - Suffering of others, authority.

Animal Companions: - He was schooled in magic by a rat, who he knows little about. He is adept at reading the minds of animals.

Character's Physical Description: At least 5 lines.

The rat would often describe the boy as a child of Urû'baen, as if the city itself had the ability to conceive a child. His hair and eyes were black. his skin is pale yet covered in the filth of the streets and scars from his father's whip. He was a skinny boy who rarely had to endure much physical activity. He would usually wear all black to hide himself when he crept through the streets of Urû'baen. He stole the sword from his father when he escaped the Empire, a standard one handed blade. He would never draw attention to himself and would always avoid being seen in public.

Reason for Dreams: - Do dreams ever follow reason?

Alignment/side: - Rav is currently neutral, not friendly to the Empire, knows little of the Varden.

The story below goes into greater detail about the history of my charactor.

Hmmm... a little ordinary for the likes of Faefnir and the others. Several people have tried ordinary warriors in the past, and only one or two have succeeded. It's hard to do something with that, especially with a novice RPer such as yourself--no offense. I approve because I am naturally optimistic, and this character is a clean sheet, neither Varden or Empire or Dragon Fortress.

I would strongly suggest you make a character to back this one up, though--something interesting in case this character fails.
