Karasu

Forms: Variable - can shapeshift

Honorable in battle: No.

Special Techniques: Chaos Control, Chaos Blast, Chaos Spear, Shapeshifting .

Appearance: Karasu most often appears in a white fur cloak with a porcelain mask in the shape of a stylized grinning skull attached to the hood. A jagged crack loops from the left corner of the grin, through the left eyehole, across the forehead, and ends just to the right of the right eyehole. A round divot with radial cracks formed by a bullet also appears on the right side of his forehead.

Beneath his cloak, Karasu resembles an anthro of no particular species - a slight, feminine build with short white fur, a short tail, dreadlock-like tendrils on the back of his head, and slitted nostrils. Light blue lines and circles also run along his face and body.

Personality: Fairly unpredictable, Karasu was not afraid to kill in the name of his god, later revealed to be his older 'brother' Advent. He believed that all anthros were an abomination, the result of human meddling with the natural progression of life on Mobius. He was willing to sacrifice himself if it meant that all the world would be cleansed of the anthro 'stain.'

History: Scion, as Karasu was once called, was the second attempt by ancient humans to create an anthro through artificial means. Like his older 'brother' Advent, Scion's DNA was an amalgam of human, anthro-echidna, and D.I.V.I.N.I.T.Y. Also like his brother, his blood was a an experimental liquefied version of Mobian chaos energy.

At some point in the distant past, Scion was sealed away in cryostasis just before Advent escaped confinement and attempted to murder the ancient humans. For millennia, Scion slept onboard the Lostech Space Station until Advent psychically triggered the emergency escape mechanism from Mobius. Scion's escape pod landed in the Tolarian Dark Xone where life support systems altered his composition to be able to survive the hostile environment he was dropped into (it was later believed that this change to his genetic struggle was the ultimate cause of his mental instability).

Upon extracting himself from the Dark Xone, Scion adopted the name Karasu, a fictional trickster known in many cultures. He then began his attempt to 'cleanse' Tolaria (and ultimately, Mobius) and resurrect Advent. His attempts were often foiled by the Raiders, though he was able to manipulate them in the end to provide him with all the materials he needed to resurrect Advent.

Upon awaking, Advent began his own cleansing by wiping Scion's mind with his psychic abilities. Scion was left in a brain-dead state and turned over to the TDF Xenologist branch for study. It is unlikely that he will ever regain brain function.

Notes:Raiders are to be aware of any ally or civilian acting suspiciously, as Karasu has proven a willingness to impersonate anyone.
