**The Crow** is a character from the Starfall SMP

## Story

**The Remnants of a Calamitous Dream**

*The world was covered in it. [REDACTED] wasn't sure what this mysterious material was that seemingly wormed its way and entrapped everything, but even he could tell it was bad news. Where was [REDACTED]? Had they left him behind? No, something else must've happened. If he kept flying, surely he would be able to spot them. [REDACTED] had been to many places both strange and dangerous, but this place had been the first where he had felt such genuine fear and paranoia. Was it because he was alone or was it because this place was dying fast? He would never know the answer, because it was time to wake up.*

**The Sanctuary**

A simple bird awoke from a long dream to find himself on a bed within a tower. After surveying the area, he discovered he was in a place called the Rose Thorn Sanctuary which inhabited many humanoid and non-humanoid beings. He wasn't certain by what means he arrived here and what he was doing before, but being a bird, he didn't linger on the past and focused on the present.

While the other beings residing in the tower explored outside of their abode, they discovered they were essentially trapped within large walls far too high to fly over, and far too deep to dig under. While the other beings searched areas, read books about this place, and talked. The Crow was more interested in filling his stomach. He had taken it upon himself to make a small farm area in the North West corner of the area where he would continuously expand his farm to yield more wheat and seed.

Yet, the space within the walls were not enough to sate his appetite for seed. But he lacked the materials and the space to create his ideal Seed Palace. However when the other tower beings opened a portal to a mysterious hellish area, he found a material useful for creating his seed palace as well as some shiny weapons and materials from braving the horrors of the realm called "Jiha".

While in Jiha, The Crow had become more acquainted with some of the other beings that lived in the Sanctuary. Specifically he had grown closer to the one called Lilia who could transform into a small flying creature similar to himself. When later the walls opened up, he and Lilia opted to live together in this giant cage in the sky made mostly by Lilia (Crow gathered the sand for glass).

**The Seed Palace**

No longer trapped by walls yet ironically now living in a cage, The Crow decided to set out and create his glorious seed farm. For weeks he toiled chopping down wood, traveling to Jiha to collect Glowstone, and digging up thousands upon thousands of dirt blocks. All the while he fought off many monsters and strengthened his tools to improve the efficiency of his work.

Dirt by dirt, log by log, seed by seed. Each was placed carefully and meticulously. Every floor was constructed sturdy and efficient for farming. And as each floor was built upon the last, the Seed Palace rose from the ground into the skies itself. After the 7th floor, the Crow flew above his work and with the sunlight gleaming over the rich newly grown wheat fields, his beak formed into the closest thing that could resemble a smile.

**Happy Shizu Day!**

The Crow joins Lillia and co in celebrating Shizu Day and as the celebration hits its peak, Crow thought that everyone was killing each other as per a humanoid custom and witnessed Orion and Vega die. Crow then starts blasting and kills Noelle and Vega. Later, The Crow is asked to join Book club with Lilia, Naafiri and Chorus[Cho-rus] but he doesn't really understand anything that's going on but is going with the flow. The Crow returns to his wheat fields and continues to farm more wheat.

**In the depths of Jiha**

The Crow and Lilia went to Jiha and wrecked a wither after that, they found a cool altar which summoned a big fiery monster after they sacrificed a wither star to it. After a grueling fight, they won. After a couple of more battles, Noelle joined them and they found cool and shiny weapons. While engaging in conversation with Noelle following the events of the Massacre of 24', Crow learned that the ethics and morals for the other beings in the tower differ greatly from his. He had learned that unprompted murder with no clear reasoning was considered bad, but murder with good reason is still ok. After Crow split from Noelle and Lilia, he left a letter in a certain person's mailbox. After finishing his business, he returned to his farm where he harvested more wheat.

## Powers/Skills

**Crossbow Dexterity** - Despite having no hands or fingers, the Crow is quite dexterous with crossbow weaponry. He recalls seeing someone in his dreams wield a crossbow with exceptional skill, but he can't quite make out who.

**Flight** - Has the ability to fly.

**Darkness Falls** - Can summon a haze of shadows that cloud and darken the visions of everyone within it's radius. To The Crow, the afflicted targets glow red.

**Invisibility** - Can turn invisible

**Minor Mimicry Contortions** - Can contort his body to copy that of other creatures. The Crow has used this to contort his vocal chords, and mouth area in order to speak in the humanoids language. So far, he has been unable to contort into any particular shape for no more than a few moments as the process itself is extremely difficult and painful.
