Raven Sindara

"A fisherman from Fairhollow, Raven is a man who tries to appease as many as he can while trying not to be a pushover. Training in Bow Weaponry with a specific focus on fishing, He is an experimentalist of arrowheads and types."
A former Fisherman from the now-presumed-dead village of Fairhollow, Raven can be described as a kind hearted soul in a Jaded shell. After seeing the horrors of war and the realities of the world that he lives in, Raven has lost much of his foolish façade of being a hero and now strives to understand better this cruel and uncaring world he lives in and how he might be able to squeeze out at least a decent living from it. Having to get past his fear of melee fighting by force of the monsters of mushrooms, goblins, and the like, along with the human-monsters of the Empire, Raven will not entirely shy away form Danger but will always attempt surprise and/or overwhelming numbers over one on one combat when necessary to fight. 
= Backstory =
Born Alfeem Fisher, to the kind, but poor parents of Henril and Elizabeth Fisher, Raven grew up in the Fairhollow area, where his father was a decently known and respected fisherman. While he was not some social butterfly, he had a small group of friends when he was young that he hung out with often. It was unfortunate that Raven, while on his own when he was 10, was wandering near the lake when Bandits had found their way to the lake, most likely to restock their supplies, and spotted Raven, deciding to choose him a target to attack. It was when they surrounded Raven and held a knife to his throat that fear truly struck his heart. With mere moments to spare before his throat being slit, Raven was saved by a couple of the village's hunters shooting down some of the bandits, causing them to flee. While grateful for his life, A fear of being in such close proximity to any situation where he is threatened. With that innate fear in him, he started to avoid hanging out with his friends more as their active lifestyle had them playing at being knights and heroes and the irrational fear made him unable to have his fun with them, forcing his hand to focus more at home. 
As he grew older he started to learn more of the craft of his father and from his mother the basic necessities of bookkeeping his sells, how to basically cook, growing of plants, food, and herbs of the most basic variety, along with minor skills like repair work of clothes and other small time things, making him able to be more or less self sufficient for small things but not particularly good at any of it. Through those years he had started to wrack his head on how to infuse the heroes that saved him’s bow work with his own line of work, making him thoroughly headstrong in the desire to always have a means of keeping himself safe for just in case the next time something came up while still being able to utilize his craft. That was when he first started experimenting, working with animal bones and particularly at first fish bones. It was a very unfortunate day, when he was around 16 that he was out in the woods, wanting to be safe from harming others if something went wrong, that he was working on cutting up a fish for the intent of using the bones for arrowhead making, and the rest for food or otherwise, he had an unfortunate incident where the fish itself exploded. What he didn’t know was that the gas built up in the fish had expanded so much that the head exploded. When the head exploded, the bone, in small fragments cut through his thin top and cut up his chest and upper arms. While not inherently deadly, he was bleeding and, by the time he got to a place where he could have it taken care of and wrapped up, it was too late to go without scars. After the events he slowed down his experimentation but was able to get at least two styles made and worked on shooting a bow. Unfortunately for Raven, it took him a couple of years to really get the hang of it and be able to use his bow well enough. At his age, he realized he needed to move out and on his own to be able to make himself independent. He had traveled for a good bit of time, with the name Raven Sindara to distance himself from his past to live a new life of his own and arrived in Castle Leydford approx 3 months before the start of S1, having gotten his position as a fisherman, under the assumption, given the size of certain parts of the fisherman’s area from a Beorning Much is unknown for what happened to him after the events of the Siege of Leydford, but what is known was that he did make it out... but whether because he kept out of sight of others, or he mysteriously disappeared after the escape, he was unseen for the events of Adwick. 
It was learned after the fact that, upon the majority of the Leydford survivals trek north, towards Adwick, Raven in turn got lost and headed West. During his absence it seemed, from small accounts for those who might have asked about him, that he had made his way to his birth home, Fairhollow, before the occurrences that happened there, and, somehow, found himself entering Gradia before the border was closed off.
