Full name: Raven Corbett / Nickname: Raventu
Age: 27
Home planet: Earth
Species: Humanoid from Mentsiquar {{NOTE: He has no idea that he is not from Earth and knows nothing of the Zercan worlds. This might fascinate him, as he is a skilled writer of science fiction/fantasy/horror.}}
Family background: He knows nothing of his parents and their true nature; they died soon after his birth under mysterious circumstances, leaving him far more than comfortably well-off. He was raised by a small staff of servants and a male "nursemaid" who takes care of him even now; this valet/assistant is a seemingly unaging man named Ziv Tyrrell. Raven grew up on the sprawling, wooded estate dubbed The Rookery ("rookery" for ravens on the family crest, indicative of the family name "Corbett").
Appearance: 5'9"; slender, wiry build; fair to medium skin, depending on how much time he has spent in seclusion; forest green eyes, quite mesmerizing, especially due to his tendency to make steady eye contact when in a conversation; dark brown hair, straight, shoulder-length but sometimes longer, generally a bit shaggy until he decides it is time to do something about it; generally dons casual wear~jeans, jackets, whatever shirt catches his fancy~and rarely wears formal attire (a tie? never!); depending on what he is wearing, can look much younger than he is.
Personality: rather brooding, generally overly serious and very reclusive except when he is researching a new book; rarely smiles but, when he does, tends to charm the recipient; blunt but can manage tact occasionally; stickler for details; drinks but is never drunk; the type who, when attending a party, seeks out a corner from which to watch other guests; rarely indulges in flirtation, merely polite "small talk"; judged shy by most who encounter him; seems completely disinterested in sex, dismissing it as unimportant, an interference in his many projects; tends not to recognize "come-ons"
Other points of interest: presently teaches night courses in creative writing at several colleges in the region; best-selling author/lecturer whose science fiction/fantasy series (three trilogies at this point in time) have been exceedingly successful; also creates "coffeetable books" featuring his photographs and commentary // Raven guards his personal life zealously, releasing as little information as possible. Most authorities agree that he was born. (No. I didn't leave any words out! LOL!) There is speculation as to the New England area, given his obsession with E.A. Poe. However, his home is The Rookery, an estate on the California coast, in the vicinity of San Francisco. Raven's only constant companion is his valet/assistant/former "nursemaid", whose history is perhaps even more enigmatic than his employer's. Raven is excellently educated, having studied abroad and earned a number of degrees. He collects Poe memorabilia and rare volumes. What he has kept secret is his dabbling in the Dark Arts and experimentation that includes attempts at time travel, focusing on tracking the existence of Portals, gateways through time and space.
Guilty pleasure: Raven loves reenactment events of the medieval and Renaissance periods, which he sometimes attends. At home, he sometimes dons huntsman's garb and, with bow and arrows, wanders the wooded areas of the estate. He is an expert archer and has learned hand-to-hand combat that includes quarterstaffs from the towering Ziv.
Mate: He has yet to meet one. (Could it be at one of the university lectures? Hmmmmm?)
