Personal history
Born of nobleblood among one of the most powerfull families in the empire. Aethyn was sent to govern the small village of Bjyrnsta due beeing a bastard child, half common and half northern human, Aethyn was the families great shame. This left Aethyn grim, hatefull and extreemly greedy for everything nobility had to offer. Instead of governing the village, Aethyn wanted to plunder, fight, conquer and rule a great empire.
Whilst ruling the village from the age of eleven to the age of eighteen, spending most of the days in isolation untill the age of sixteen where Aethyn finnaly was forced an advisor. On reasons still unkown Aethyn choose the girl Raven as advisor despite her three year past as a seductress, ending up in giving Aethyn's family more infamy. The northern nobles however enjoyed the gesture as they where more calm, loose and understanding about feelings. Ever since most northern nobles had a certain secret liking to Aethyn.
Aethyn however never noticed the love the northern folk where giving away even for their often blunt, silly and obscene humor. This left Aethyn to decend further down into the dark, however deep, deep inside the blackening soul yet had a core of light when the wounded Jurgan came to the village, dying and in need of dire help. Jurgan was a known cultist of Sarak the Death god and thus frowned uppon, yet knowing the pain of beeing disliked by everyone, Aethyn had Jurgan saved and made the new village stablemaster, giving Jurgan his name and erasing the rumors by witts and tricks.
Another year went and Aethyn turned eighteen, an age where love was first felt. Aethyn started feeling more and more weird around different individuals the same age and instead of embracing lust started fearing it as a plague, unknown to the feeling and afraid Aethyn blocked it inside and became shy and despising of the subject.
Aethyn soon afterwards was called uppon to a great party at the norths and the worlds riches man, Lord Max Isen, in the worlds at the time most beautiful and well protected city. Aethyn going to the party after beeing convinced by Raven found a subject long kept away from the bastardchild on the journey. The Bloods, but not any blood, the Blackblood of Sarak. The steriotypical blackblood matched Aethyn, whom was instantly stuck in the panic from the information. Thankfully the information came out as a playfull flirtattempt and Aethyn was left with a kiss instead of panic, however leaving the bastard in heavy regrets and a certain anger for a short time.
Aethyn later attended the massive nobleparty but some common human nobles Aethyn's own age used the isolation and uncertainess felt against Aethyn, seducing the bastard to do a lot of stupid things in the party for their own amusement. Framed and shamed for deeds done and not done, Aethyn ran off in the middle of the great dance in tears where the noble Captain Frederick found the child laying down crying in a corner. Frederick took Aethyn on his horse and rode out of the city back to Bjyrnsta whilst cheering Aethyn up on the way.
When they well reached Bjyrnsta again, the safe haven was empty, plundered by Dark Elves and the population kidnapped. Several elves laid dead on the ground next to the stables however. Frederick told Aethyn to stay whilst he went in, yet Aethyn snuck after. Inside, they found a Dark Elven woman standing over a dying Jurgan with a bloody sword in her hand. The sword was drenched in black blood and Jurgan had bloodied claws instead of hands aswell as shadow streaming out of his mouth as he was dying. Frederick swiftly rushed to Jurgans aid despite his mutations and started fighting the severly better Dark Elf. Frederick was killed and in a spark of wrath, Aethyn from the hiding place drew an old cane nearby and smacked the woman in the back of the head. She fell to the ground and Aethyn continued to strike the head untill it was a bloody mess before falling down on the ground, crying and throwing up from the deed.
In sorrow and disgust, Aethyn didn't hear the warnings from Jurgan and from the body of the Dark Elf, a dagger flew with her last request, to painfully end Aethyn's life. Aethyn was struck just by the heart, falling down dying next to Jurgan, yet the cultist started calling for his master Sarak to save the child.
Sarak, beeing the god of not just death, but justice, mortality and chaos . The one and only god surviving the madness of corruption decended and saw the dying child and proclamed it could not save Aethyn with the gift of it's blood, yet with the injustice Aethyn had felt and the chaos rampaging trough Aethyn's body the child was left an offer. Die, or become it's vessel to destroy the corrupted bloods. In knowledge of the corrupt attacking Aethyn's village and kidnapping all Bjyrnsta's inhabitants, Aethyn with wrath in the eyes accepted the offer of becomming Sarak's vessel.
Aethyn was told to follow the dream in conquering and building an empire, however this time not out of greed and power. Having two minds, someone or rather something to commune with regularly, Aethyn started seeing perspective and now fought for justice and peace. Destroying and mass-murdering Dark Elven soldiers of the corrupted Drew houses Aethyn started uniting the burning north under a new banner. A crow standing in black blood.
Aethyn swiftly gained renown and cast away the originial surname. Aethyn was now known more than that little brat. It was Aethyn Caras, the blackblooded crow to come decend on the enemies, bringing justice and madness uppon the foes. The Dark Elves swiftly came to laugh uppon the new threat. A cute kid who called themself crow in the Drew language. However after a massacree on sixteen of house serpents most dangerous champions and burning down their cathedral, the dark elves started developing a fear for the crow.
After uniting the north, Aethyn ventured to the frozen deadlands where it's identity was removed. Aethyn was no longer a she or he, it was a shadow, the very essence of death. It later sought a dark secret in the Deadlands to harness the power to eradicate the lingering corruption from consuming the Dark Elves.
Thereafter Aethyn beggun the great battle to destroy the three corrupt houses leaders. The Shadow, The Spider and The Serpent, uncovering a secret enemy aswell in the hunt.

Character Prototype
I pray this character is rather unique and not similar to anyone else.
I've never written an article before but due my interest in fantasy and role-play I wanted to give it a shot. So far I've found it very funny. Yes... I have a love for darker more imperfect anti-heroes.
