Corbin

Corbin (He/Him/His) is a 17 year old human druid who loves birthday tacos and cold cuts. He is one of three Guardians chosen to protect the Goddess of Estra. He was raised by the Crow Clan, where he was mentored by Demorah. Once completing the Trials of the Guardians, He leaves The Great Forest to guard the Goddess in the city temple. His Familiar is the Greater beast Burger-Jerger. He is voiced by Juniper. 
Corbin has a knack for causing trouble, being a damsel in distress, and falling into grate based traps. As a druid, he is able to wild shape into animals. Being a Listener of Pavilla, he has dreams of the past and future. Until arc 4.5, Corbin believes he is a crow. After the Guardian's visit to the Tower of Pavila, he is now aware and has accepted the fact that he is indeed a human boy. 
Back to Characters. 
== Appearance and personality ==
Corbin is scantily clad with a prominent boob window. He is adamant that any clothes that he wears have some sort of chest opening. This is also reflected in his animal forms, which always have some sort of boob window shape placed on their chest. 
He is an emotional creature, although he does not always necessarily understand his emotions. Corbin does not have much common sense and quite impulsive. However, he is able to quickly adapt to new situations (which he often puts himself into). 
=== Voice ===
To Errol Culbert, his voice reminds them of "an exquisite metal rasp being drawn gently across the surface of a crystal chandelier". 
== In Festival of Lights ==
=== The Trial ===
When the story begins, Corbin is about to undergo his final test before traveling to the city as one of the goddess' guardians. He wakes up from a vision. One of the most notable things he did during his final test is that he gets into a fight with his own reflection, believing it is another person because, of course, he is a bird. This results in him almost drowning and failing this particular trial. However, with the assistance with the other guardians, he is able to successfully complete this trial.
=== The Aviary ===
When the goddess leads the guardians up to the Aviary, Corbin is overcome with grief upon seeing it filled with dead birds. As he attempts to gather them up in his arms, the goddess consoles him. Following Laika's divine sense down to the Undertemple, he helps the guardians defeat the shades with his magic.
=== Exploring the City ===
When the guardians get the opportunity to explore the city, they first head to the Guard Barracks. While entranced, he does not approach the good-looking trainees that the other two are fawning over, as he is intimidated by the experience. In the library, Corbin learns about Luell's role as a Librarian and the Children's overnight program. He also gets into some shenanigans with Laika at the Restorationist, sitting on her lap when she sits on the book to be restored.
=== Party Time ===
His contribution to the epic rager is getting a bunch of alcohol. He helps out with questioning Allia by giving her more alcohol and pretending to threaten to kill Gingie. However, he decides to just watch Fran and Laika attempt to flirt with their crushes rather than follow in their footsteps.
=== The Undertemple ===
Exploring the cliff where the vessel of Vioni dove off of the island, he finds a hidden cave underneath a waterfall in his crow form. Rather than assisting his compatriots down the steep cliff with his magic, he swiftly descends into the cave as a crow.
== In Into Avelis ==
Corbin and Fran held onto each other as they were falling down after Estra collapsed, losing Laika and the Goddess out of sight after a huge piece of rubble separated them. They both landed in a desert and still severely wounded from the arrow shot at the Festival of lights. He is able to heal himself after Fran pulls out the arrow. The next day, he and Fran attempts to fight off a Bulet, but finds themselves overwhelmed. 
When he wakes up again, he finds himself in a tent, naked under a pile of sand and being cared for by Dokella, an old Orcish woman. He is quick to accept the fact that his life on Estra had been built upon lies and remains surprisingly chill about their new situation. He tries communicating with Dokella, but realize that they do not speak the same language. Being dragged by Fran, they follow Nodrig around the camp until they are herded back to the healing tent with Dokella. Slowly and with the assistance with Fran's magic, they are able to share their names and origins with Dokella. Following Fran's lead, he also tells her that they are some sort of gods as Dokella shows them a book that lists the old gods. 
=== The Oasis Market Place ===
In the Oasis Market place, he assists in selling the bulette jawbone with Fran. He ends up being under the influence of a creepy little girl that leads him to some ruins. She gives him a vulture and snaps its neck to summon the Vioni. The Mother of Monsters warns Corbin that Torva is tracking the goddess and her party through her godly essence. She asks Corbin to help her to retrieve her vessel from the Torva's Jaw, which also holds an item which can hide the Goddess's presence. The little girl leads him back to the marketplace and disappears. In distress from this experience, Corbin starts loudly cawing, drawing the attention of Laika and Fran, successfully reuniting the party. While Laika and Fran take some time to strategize their next steps, Corbin is left to his own devices with Sha. Nonchalantly, Corbin tells Sha that Maeri is a goddess and that he can use magic by turning into a crow right in front of the elf in an alleyway. Shamelessly, he also tells Sha that almost all Estrans are some sort of deity. 
=== The Tower of Wivvil===
At the tower of Wivvil, he gives up his memories of the parents who abandoned him in the forest. He spies on Falen as he escapes the Tower, only to lose him as Falen disappears in a poof of black smoke. He first heads back to Wivvil's tower to rejoin his companions, but unable to find the tower, he heads back to the small town and eventually finds his friends. 
===Torva's Jaw===
When scouting around Torva's Jaw as a crow, he falls through a grate. A concerned guard finds Corbin, and, believing that he is one of their own birds, swaddles him in his coat and places him into the blotterbird aviary. As Maeri, Laika and Fran create a distraction outside, the blotterbirds are released from the aviary, allowing Corbin to escape. Returning to the depths of Torva's Jaw, Corbin turns into an ant and crawls under the door to Torva's study, leaving the rest of the guardians behind the door. 
When Commander Bronca enters Torva's study, Corbin transforms back into a boy and clocks the commander unconscious with his spear. After looting the commander's pockets, he takes the commander's ring of keys and returns to the door to let Maeri and Fran into the study. Realizing Laika is not with the other two, Corbin accuses Fran for being a heartless monster under his breath. 
After Maeri casts the massive blinding spell, he and Fran head back up to the main chamber to go and save Laika. 
==In "The Gray Manacle"==
After the events at the Temple of Iol, Corbin and the others head back to Danmar. There, Corbin has a fated encounter with a bumbling fighter after being kidnapped, learns the true meaning of "horse power", and thirsts after a hot king.
==In The Court of Spears==
When introduced to the court, Corbin makes a fool out of himself by stepping on Fran's dress and toppling into the crowd, dragging Slake with him. 
In the free time before dinner, he looks for Lord Andolen. Corbin finds Lord Andolens room, ransacks it, and leaves a note apologizing for the mess.
At the dinner with the queen, he gets drunk on sparkling wine and has the aesthetic of Shadow the Hedgehog with a boob window. He gains the approval of Lord Ngyenian with a gory description of the battle in the Danmarian Castle, at the expense of the disapproval of everyone else at the table.
Corbin heads towards the Marchioness's Estate as a horse. Lord Helmshire is poisoned, Corbin and the guardians interrogate the staff and attendees at the party. He orders Slake to lock the doors, and gleefully realizes that he can boss the half-orc boy. 
Just as the guardians return to the palace, he is horrified to hear his new friend, Lord Ngyuenian has been one of the court members who has been poisoned. Along with the rest of the party, he rushes to Ngyenian's estate. Seeing Lord Ngyenian on the ground with his distressed father, Corbin rushes in and shoves the father aside. Corbin Joins Fran in praying to Faylen for assistance, but rather than actually praying he just cursing Faylen out to come to help his bud. While Fran and Falen provide Maeri magical support, Corbin supports Maeri by giving her a really good head massage.
The next morning, he is awoken with the rest of the guardians by Dodson to be informed that the queen is coming to visit. Dressed in mourning clothes, the party is invited to a celebration of life by the queen. After reading Renetta's stolen letters, the party decides to visit Falen. Knowing the way, Corbin leads them to the demi-god's room. 
Visiting the library, he turns into a crow to prove the guardian's credentials as agents of the queen, but ends up freaking out the librarian. Corbin turns back into a human and intimidates the librarian to the point of making of her cry, allowing the party to enter the archives. 
On Sparrow Island, Corbin turns into a crow and pretends to be Old man Fran's pet bird, Dawson. He is put on the betting table as the guardians try to bargain for information from Captain Elwin. The captain wins the bet and takes the Crow Guardian to a meeting of the other two pirate captains and learns that the hat is a fake. 
==In A Fragmentary Passage==
Corbin learns how to turn into a Prarie Dog and tries to eat Darius. He is unsuccessful and slapped away by Slakes protective instincts.
He dreams of a glass tree, an army and a flock of hawks. He sees Maeri surrounded by a golden man and a black monster. Corbin attempts to save Maeri after the black monster grabs Maeri but fails. The goddess of truth Pavia, speaks to him that she cannot show him the truth if he is not willing to see it. He wakes up and wakes up Maeri and finds herself unable to feel. As Maeri panics, Corbin is put back to sleep to get back to the dream. He returns to find the monster with the Golden man trying to pry its jaws open. Corbin assists the golden man to free Maeri. Before the Golden man can get to Maeri himself, Corbin successfully reaches her first, effectively saving his friend's sense of touch.
=== The Tower of Pavilla===
Pavilla returns his memory of his parents leaving him in the Great Forest. He learns that his parents were the last of her followers in the "Realm That Is". He decides to become a follower of Pavilla as well and receives a pendant from the goddess.
==In "The Weeping God"==
===Into the Void===
Frustrated with the fruitless negotiation with Dashing Dawson, Corbin attempts to find the book by rummaging through the Trickster god's bags. He is grabbed into the bag by Porthos, Dawson's brother, and dragged into the Void. Corbin attempts to escape Porthos's maw two times, once by running away in Fran's protective bubble (hamster ball style) and using the necklace he stole from Dawson when they first arrived at Avelis. He notices two islands. 
===Rescuing Rove===
Corbin becomes a fish and successfully reaches the tent where Rove is being held. With his magic, he is able to sweep the Golem guards into the lake with one fell swoop without drawing any attention. Entering the tent, the crow guardian finds Rove and frees her from her shackles, allowing the goddess's magic to return. 
==In "The Survivor's Ballad"==
The first stop after leaving the city of Nakama is a shallow cave where Corbin finds a letter requesting whoever finds it to deliver it to a woman in the city of Sarval. He shamelessly opens the sealed letter and learns that writer is named Marigold, and has been run out of their lodgings due to a price hike that they were not able to cover and is in search for employment with the recently deceased Jean Jaque. The guardian finds a book of scandalous in the bag left by Marigold, poetry and reads it to Slake over the campfire.Category:PCs
