AU History: Crow's parents died when he was young, he never really knew them, and so he was raised by his grandfather— the beloved mayor of a small city who taught his young grandson his love of games (billiards, cards, darts, chess, etc). Or at least... his grandfather was beloved, until a smear campaign brought his career to a screeching halt and he stepped down from political office in consideration of his constituents. Without the excitement keeping his grandfather enthusiastic and engaged, however, he grew listless and ended up dying of illness within a year. Crow was thirteen.
Rather than allowing himself into the foster system, Crow ran away from the city and moved to Kaisou, where he took up residence in the Entertainment District. He'd steal and lie and did anything he has to in order to get by in life, with more than a few uncomfortable months sleeping on the streets. It's a reckless lifestyle and one that ended up seeing him near death at the tender age of sixteen— and that's when he had his first brush with the paranormal. A god had taken some interest in the lad, and agreed to keep him alive for a few... prices.
Well, he's managed to stay alive since then. Who's complaining? Not Crow, that's for sure.
He did manage to scrape enough money together to get a GED when he was eighteen, but he hasn't pursued much beyond that in the way of schooling. He doesn't really have an eye on college, he got it just to prove to himself he could. He's been keeping an eye on the world around him though, biding his time in the underbelly of Kaisou. One day, one day... he'd really like to find out more about that guy who wrecked his grandfather's career with his lies.... But for now, he'll get by on the next grift, looking out for the next mark.
AU Personality Differences: I mean, the only real difference is that he hasn't plotted any terrorism. Other than that, the core personality's pretty much the same.
Element: Shadow Purchased Powers: General: • Sense presence of others within 30 feet [1 point] • Reduced need for sleep (5hrs) [1 point] • Low level telepathy (you can send basic images) [1 point]
Possession: Crow is possessed by a god, though even he doesn't know if it's for good or ill. All he knows for sure is it's what's keeping him going for now....
Contract Prices: • Cannot Tell Lies. At least, not a direct one— he can manipulate the truth or omit key details, but he cannot blatantly lie. • Sacrifice. This does not have to be a life (though it can be), but Crow needs to make at least one sacrifice every day— this can range from personal (a day of abstinence) to stealing something in supplication, or even, yes, a life.... but the god within him demands recognition.This must be done specifically with the god in mind at the time, ie he cannot just forgoe sex all day and decide at midnight that oh, this is for the god. Deliberation and intent is the key to this price.
