basics — NAME: Gilbert Nightray — ALIAS: Raven — AGE: 24 25 26 27 (physically), 119 120 121 122 (real age) — DOB: 2/5 but celebrated the day he met Oz (8/20 headcanon) — HAIR&EYES: dark brown (almost black)/gold — HEIGHT&WEIGHT: 5'11"/160lbs headcanon — NOTABLE FEATURES: scar on torso (can't be seen when shirt is buttoned) scar around lower neck (received in Cityverse, also hidden by high collared shirts and scarves) appearance Canon not only depicts Gil as handsome, but the text likes to heavily emphasize he makes women turn their heads and fawn over him. He has dark hair and bright, golden eyes (heh manga!!) that are often the first subject to be brought up. He's tall and lean, though not very physically intimidating. He tends to keep to himself among crowds and if observed closely, also has a tendency to be rather rigid in a room full of people. He prefers to go unnoticed and not bothered, and can look uncomfortable or even sullen when forced out to social conventions. (Women somehow mistake this as dark, brooding, and mysterious... and very attractive?? What.) Gil sticks to solid and dark colors mostly. He wears black often, but occasionally can be seen in white and dark blues. He has a trench coat and prefers to wear that, as well as his hat, but he might stick to dress pants and shirts in the City. He also has a large scar that runs across his torso. He was evidently cut by a large blade in the past. He also has a scar that on his lower neck that he received in the City when he was killed. There's a large, gold clip-on earring on his right ear. He can also often be seen smoking often. Speaks with an English accent, perhaps sounds like a Londoner. VISUALS: one & two abilities FIGHTING ➢ Gil may not look physically imposing or much of a threat, but he is a member of Pandora, marksman and Contractor, so he's got plenty of tricks up his sleeves. As a Contractor and Pandora affiliate (though it isn't shown) he's probably had some kind of training. After burning his arm off, losing blood and still bleeding, he is still capable of assaulting a couple of grown men and taking them down. He's probably prone to using excessive force, but he holds some skill in hand to hand combat. Not that he's on par or will ever be against say, the likes of, say, Batman or Daredevil as couple of examples, but he's decent enough to hold his own to some degree. MARKSMANSHIP ➢ Gil is more suited for sharpshooter combat, carrying two revolvers that look like this. Clearly very 19th century or something, yes. Gil learned to use them as a young boy, even if he's technically second best in comparison to Vincent. Still, he's a good shot and can get head shots in if he seizes the opportunity. He is a member of Pandora, after all. OTHER STUFF ➢ apparently knows basic aid! 19th century basic aid, most likely. CAPE & COWL ➢ he's been granted power sensing. His left hand/the seal on it will react whenever someone is using their own powers in close proximity. RAVEN ➢ Raven is Gil’s Chain. It is about the size of a house and can only appear when he summons it. Chains are corporeal in that they can be touched and touch other Chains and people. They can’t be killed with human weapons as far as canon has shown, but killing its Contractor or breaking the Blood Seal Mirror severs the contract between the two. Like its name implies, Raven is indeed a bird, however the flesh on its face is mostly rotted off and its skull is visible. It has the ability to teleport a certain distance and create fire. The flames appear blue and are more than capable of killing people easily. Anyway, Gil doesn't use Raven unless the situation is dire because of how much it drains him. VISUALS: one & two HEALING ➢ due to being a Baskerville, Gil heals faster than the average human. He could be considered immortal, but he is capable of being killed. Deep and fatal wounds and bleeding heal fast and leave no scarring behind anymore. He doesn't realize he has this. :V
