Crow

## Description

### Appearance

Crow is a 5'8 human male with medium to long white slicked back/mullet style hair and grey eyes. He prefers to wear dark or black clothing, especially in colder environments. His ears are adorned with multiple piercings, adding to his overall unique appearance.

At the start of his adventures, Crow's hair was mostly black fading to white ends. His face was full of stubble. After a bit of travelling and being part of One and Two Half Men, his hair went back to white (due to the demon's disease coming back after being branded by an imp). He even went on to shave his face, and currently has a clean shaven face.

### Personality

Crow tends to keep to himself, a man of few words. He is very blunt and straightforward, preferring the simple solution. During his free time, he can be found either sharpening his blades or training by himself. Crow looks up to his adoptive father and mentor, Aldeyr, often writing letters to him about his journies. He keeps a blank face, sometimes looking tired or bored, usually thinking to himself. Crow tends not to care much for others, with the exception of his companions and adoptive family. Although, he will always prioritize saving innocents civillians from danger. Crow's main belief is "the ends justify the means," being satisfied as long as the greater good is achieved.

## History

### Background

#### Childhood

Crow's original name was Kalahad Algot, born into a small village. When he was about 5, his village was raided by a small band of demons. Crow was attacked by one of the demons but was saved by his father, who fought and died to the demon, his mother rushed him out of the house and told him to run and hide. With tears in his eyes, he ran and didn't look back. He hid atop a nearby hill that overlooked the village, watching as it burned to the ground, unsure if anyone survived. Crow suffered an illness from the demon's attack, causing his skin to become very pale, his eyes to turn grey, and his hair to lose all its pigment and become white. Crow knew it wasn't safe and that his home village now belonged to the demons. Just then, he notices a man with a sword engulfed in a purple flame going through the village wiping out the demons. A crow flies over the man, to the direction of 5yr old Crow. The man approaches Crow, turning out to be a retired Aldeyr, of the renowned Demon Slayer Corps. Aldeyr decided it would be best to take Crow into his custody, taking him home to raise him. Crow, suffering from some amnesia due to the trauma, could not even remember his own name. Leaving Aldeyr to call him Crow, thanks to the crow that led Aldeyr to him.

#### Life with Aldeyr

Aldeyr took in Crow and raised him with the help of his wife, Lyra. Unsure if he would recover from the demon's disease, they eventually cured Crow of it. Aldeyr taught him how to defend himself and wield a blade. Crow would listen to Aldeyr talk about his adventures for hours. The Demon Slayer Corps fascinated Crow, when he got older he would go on to meet a few of them. Crow eventually developed his own form of Blood Hunter magic, which was different to Aldeyr's Lycanthropy. Aldeyr believed Crow's abilities it came from the demon disease that he suffered from when he was younger. When Crow was about 16, he set to start his own adventure. He wanted to come back to Aldeyr as a strong warrior, possibly strong enough to rival or even surpass Aldeyr. Crow said goodbye to his adoptive parents and set on his own way.

#### Living alone

The start of his journey was rough, Crow had no idea what to do or where to go. He wandered around, eventually finding a cove to hide out in. He spent a few years there, doing the occasional odd job in a town nearby, or scrounging for food. Most of his days consisted of him practicing his blood magic or how to use his sword. After deciding he wasn't going to get any stronger just staying in one spot, he decided to step out of his comfort zone and leave behind the cove. He looked around for anything of use, picking up a crown he figured he could sell later on for some cash, and set on his way.
