basics // (very WIP)
Apr. 12th, 2018 01:40 pm18 to early 20sish, same age bracket as Victor and (presumably) Barry in Justice League. As with pretty much all versions of Raven across media, she's still the illicit spawn of a human woman and an interdimensional hellbeast.
Grouchy (though less so than her animated counterpart, more kind of morose than anything), mysterious, Mystical (TM), grounding presence, purposefully reserved, socially and emotionally stilted, and, most importantly, a Tryhard Do-Gooder.
DCEU:
Though he's clothed in red and blue, Superman is more than just America's hero - he's the world's savior. Residents of long-secretive races (the Amazons, the Atlantians) have taken notice and been inspired, coming out of the woodwork after thousands of years of isolation to protect mankind once again.
Those from beyond our world have seen the difference one hero can make, as well.
more will go here but tl;dr, the League wouldn't know her yet. She's been creepin' on the periphery, hero legs to be stretched and tested. Basically, she needs the Titans to be formed, stat. Until we get a team like that in the DCEU, I'd love to play her as a potential League recruit.
THINGS I WANT TO TOY WITH, POSSIBLY:
notes to self
- This interpretation could lean in the direction of being manipulative for "the higher cause" or simply out of not understanding the intricacies of human/hero morality outside of "be good and save the world." Raven's origins as a character are steeped in this; in the New Teen Titans run, she mind controls allies frequently for her own benefit.
(I like the potential for this magnifying how otherworldly and ultimately invasive her character can be when taken to the logical extreme.)
- Is Azarath destroyed yet in this potential DCEU mashup like it is in the animated movie verse? Not married to either alternative.
WORKSHOPPING A MCU-AU RAVEN:
- Her type of crazy would theoretically work in the dimension-bending playpen of Doctor Strange. So she's probably cropped up from that corner of the MCU in a fashion not unlike her homebrew backstory, tweaked to make her less world-breaking: daughter of a woman and a minor Eldritch abomination from some dank, miserable pocket dimension who wants to use his offspring to slither into the human realm.
