Character Info:
His mother and father were murdered in a violent pillage of their hometown by orcs. Hardly anyone survived, but luckily several priests had found the hoarded village and saved the dying boys life.

They raised him as a priest as well, and although he was an obediant pupil, he never fully believed that all that the priests taught him was true. Then, one fateful day, he found out a deep, dark secret that told him that everything about the church was a lie. The priests knew if this information were made public, they would be ruined.
So they were left with but one option- to kill Sven.

The 21 year old fled for his life, luckily managing to escape the town and board a passing Gypsy caravan to the next town, where he hid until he could make a new plan.

Soon after he left for a new town, he met a young mercenary girl named Mystic and fell in love. But, deep down, he knew their love could never last.
He was a holy man, and she killed for money.
The two were completely different, and even if they did somehow overcome that, there was still the factor of the church wanting him dead, and he knew that if they found out the two were involved, Mystic would surely be killed.

So, with a heavy heart and no words to help explain himself, he left her.

He found it was easiest to hide and travel in his Raven form, so he stayed that way more and more until eventually he felt no need to become human again. Finding himself constantly thinking of his love, Mystic, he had to get rid of what reminded him of her. Thinking that if he held on to his past, he could never move on to find what he was looking for, a new path. He took the bracelet and burried it under a tree that he could never forget.

After another year passed, he found a young slave girl named Azel, who took him in and offered him a home (she thought he was a raven, of course). Seeing this as a perfect hideout, he decided to stay with her. Soon, the girl was immediatley attached to him, as if this old bird were her best friend. Maybe it was better off this way, or maybe...that's what he just wanted to think.

Hello my friend, and welcome to Althanas. Before I can approve you I have a couple of questions to ask, and hopefully their clarification will allow us to move past this quickly.

First, could you tell me about his prayers? What are they capable of? Are they merely pleas to a deity or do they have some kind of function?

Also, does he have any items? If so what are they? What are they made of?

If you could answer these I think we'll be able to get you through the door and onto roleplaying ASAP.

I deleted the Prayer from weapons and changed my armor. His item is the wooden bracelet. (It doesn't have any powers, it's just a bracelet.) Is it alright now?

Just so I'm clear, you have no other items other than what he's wearing and the prayer beads correct? I mean, this is a chance for you to include things like a backpack or other items which might be necessary for travel.

He left his church in a hurry so he had no possesions to take along with him, and he finds backpacks and other bulky things to be a nuisance. He just keeps the clothes on his back.

Fair enough, I just wanted to be sure you had considered everything before I approved this.

With this, keep in mind that you're going to be like an ordinary Raven in raven form, with the exception of course of keeping your mental faculties about you.

APPROVED!
