Ravenbane is half of a vampiric duo with her husband, the hero known as Darkfang. While they are both Heroes of the City, they try to maintain a low profile with the media, and the general consensus among the citizens of Paragon is that their vampirism is only a gimmick. They remain dedicated heroes, despite now splitting their time between crime-fighting and raising their children.

[edit] History

[edit] Personality

Despite what some consider typical vampire perspective, Ravenbane seems genuinely happy and content with her life. She is usually quite friendly towards most people, with a strong sense of devotion to friends, and even stronger towards family. She has a good sense of humor, including about herself and her situation. Having lost her family decades ago, she is fiercely protective of those she cares about, and sometimes attaches to younger colleagues in a sisterly or maternal way.

However, she does have a temper, and has been known to fly off the handle if she is crossed or if something truly upsets her, sometimes being particularly harsh in her verbal or physical assault on the offender. She can be impulsive, and has a tendency to be overly judgmental and unforgiving, with a propensity for holding grudges that have, in some cases, lasted decades.

[edit] Powers

Ravenbane exhibits many powers seen in several vampire myths from across the globe, though there are some abilities that are lacking. Most notably, she cannot shapeshift into any other form (animal or otherwise), fly, control the elements, or manipulate the minds of others.

[edit] Physical Powers

Ravenbane displays low-grade superhuman strength, able to lift up to approximately one ton. She can punch or otherwise break through materials like wood, concrete and steel, depending on thickness. She also has superb reflexes with preternatural agility, flexibility and coordination, which allow for exceptional speed and maneuverability, as well as the ability to dodge attacks. She can leap several times higher and farther than a human, maintain a run well above 25 miles per hour and perform seemingly impossible acts of an acrobatic nature. She also displays some increased resistance to blunt force trauma, being able to shake off blows and requiring more force to fracture bones or cause internal bleeding.

[edit] Sensory Powers

Ravenbane’s abilities also include heightened senses, especially sight, smell and hearing. She can see particularly sharply, for great distances and in darkness, can track, recognize, and detect things about other people and animals by scent alone, and can easily pick up on sounds and conversations those around her cannot. The strength of these is difficult to measure, though it can be assumed they are comparative to those of other exceptional predators like raptors, canines and felines.

[edit] Immune System and Regeneration

Ravenbane also possesses a greatly enhanced immune system. She does not (nor will not) age beyond the peak physical condition of the early to mid-twenties. She is regenerative, superficial injuries healing in minutes at most. Deeper soft tissue injuries may take hours, and fractures may take a day or more to heal completely. While she may be able to regenerate lost limbs, she is not willing to test it. She is also virtually immune to disease, and resistant to drugs, poisons and other toxins.

[edit] Other

Since Ravenbane has no psychic powers, any capacity to charm or persuade lies on practice in subterfuge and manipulation along with physical attractiveness; she has had several decades to hone these skills. Likewise, she plays on the fears and superstitions of criminals, employing fear tactics to gain the advantage in a fight. While she has no true command over animals, they recognize her as a higher predator, and many may grow submissive around her. Her predatory nature makes her quite adept at stealth, seeming to almost disappear, making her very difficult to track, especially in darkness.

[edit] Abilities

Ravenbane was trained from a young age in combat, particularly military hand-to-hand, as well as sword and other weapon techniques. She proved to be a quick study, showing skill, improvisation and resourcefulness. Though her need for weapons has decreased significantly since becoming a vampire, her earliest training has carried on with her to this day. She also has a working knowledge of other forms of martial arts and fighting styles.

During her childhood, Ravenbane often aided her mother in housework and caring for her younger siblings and grew skilled in cooking and basic sewing techniques. She was, at the time, nearly fluent in Italian, but is now just conversational. She is also a talented singer and of above average intelligence, but nowhere near superhuman ability in either.
