Notes: Raven Hall is the founding member of Degeneration X, as well as the first COTN IC Champ. He can best be discribed as a errigant individual with a quick temper and of strong will and determination. His disadvantage is his lack of special abilities and powers, in fact
other than his in ring ability he is totally defensless against Parlor tricks from his opponents, to combat this he came up with Ravens DX Rules that are applied to all his matches and restrict the use of these powers from being used in the matches.
History Of Raven
-As Told By Azriel
The eldest of his generation in the death clan Raven was born in the year 1105 A.D., he was born like all Greater Ravynos human. At the time of his birth it was unknown that the Death families blood line had Ravynos blood in it Raven being born human was a shock to his family however they still cared for Raven and treated him well throughout his childhood. At the age of 15, Raven left his family and set out on his own to see the world. His journey took him from Europe to Asia where he finally settled down in Japan. While in Japan Raven became fascinated by the samurai and set out to become one. Being an outsider Ravens quest to become a samurai was extremely difficult but he eventually succeeded being a quick study with oriental blades especially the katana and the fact his family was extremely wealthy. Raven served his clan for the next 10 or so years become a general samurai who lead his clan into many victorious battles however eventually 3 rival clans united and launched an attack that would totally wipe out the clan that Raven served. Raven himself had fallen suffering a mortal wound. The demon inside however was not going to allow its host to die for it would die too after this battle Raven entered his Hybrid period his wounds would regenerate. Fueled by his new powers and a thirst for revenge Raven walked into the main stronghold of his enemy who where starting to suffer from dissension within their own alliance Raven walked into the city and started to kill everyone that was in his sight he would fall many times only to rise once more and continue his rampage. Before leaving he burned the city to the ground. However Raven did not succeed in leaving no survivors rumors quickly started to run all over Japan that Ravens ghost was taking revenge on the world and feeding on the life of the living. As with all rumors they usually strayed far from fact, some claimed Ravens soul would not be allowed to rest because he was a foreigner and was not suited to be a samurai, others claimed it was due to the hideous way he was executed at the hands of his enemy. Although they all disagreed on why Raven became the way he did they all agreed he needed to be destroyed and a huge bounty was placed on his head attracting would be demon, ghost and vampire slayers from all across the world it also attracted the attention of Damien Death who had been in the region due to business of his own. A group of Ravynos where also dispatched to the mortal realm to take Raven back to hell where he could reach his true potential and serve the Ravynos Clan. Damien started to hear all the rumors and realized that these people where talking about his son. Damien was not shocked by this he knew there had to be more to his son then what met the eye. Eventually he would find Raven using his own supernatural abilities before would be slayers and forced Raven to leave the country with him. This left the people in Japan baffled but the legend was written that once Raven took his revenge he was granted access to the afterlife being nothing more then a revenant of sorts.
The violent way in which Raven was forced into his hybrid form caused a great deal of inner turmoil, more then what the average Ravynos faces. His demon was awoken in the heat of battle thus had an above average desire for blood, a truly evil presence. His human side a warrior a man of honor and values who was confused by what was happening to him. This bitter feud between the beings inside Raven would cause him to lose control of himself with one side dominating the other or neither side having any control at all. Over the next 200 years Raven would battle the worst inner battles of his entire life. It was near the end of this period I had the pleasure of meeting the young Ravynos I had an idea of what he truly was but had never had the opportunity to actually see a Greater Ravynos with my own eyes and was totally unaware of the Hybrid stage. I had hoped to satisfy my own ambitions by using Raven and he hoped to gain control of himself through me as it turned out we became close friends and wound up helping each other. I learned a great deal as documented here about the Ravynos race as well as Raven in return I helped him gain a measure of control over his conflicting beings within as well as training the black arts. Raven lived in the shadows for a great period of time studying and training. He refused to rejoin humanity in fear of losing control and doing anything he would regret. He did however remain in contact with his family. Raven also didn't want to be found by his fellow Ravynos he had no love for the demon within and was not going to hand his soul over to it. The truth we all didn't know at the time was that the Ravynos would not force Raven to remain in hell and would have actually helped in more then I could have ever dreamed of doing through the almost 900 years Raven spent as a Hybrid.
However during this time a grave mistake was made, Raven could not bare the demon with in him and tried to return the demon to its dormant state. Not realizing the effect this could have on Raven and wanting to see the results with my own eyes I agreed to help him. We succeeded, but at a cost we would not see until it was far to late. Satisfied with the idea that his demon was dormant Raven entered the world of Creature Wrestling with his father. During this time he would meet the woman he would come to love as well as many great adversaries something being a warrior he craved for some time. However his time of living as a mortal would come to an end as a vampire tried to turn Raven, this awoke the demon with in and caused such a violent reaction that Raven totally lost control of the demon within which was hungry from his years or artificially induced hibernation Ravens thirst for blood was unbearable. Raven fought the hunger as long as he could with the help of the Slayer and her friends and even those of rivals however the treatment did not work because in reality they thought they were trying to cure vampirism when in fact it was something far different. However an artifact helped keep his demon in check was given to Raven that helped his human side remain in control. This however only made the demon within and more angry. Overtime Raven would end up marrying Devilz Angel and living a happy life however that all ended when Ravens human body was mortally wounded at the hands of the Hellwalkers and Dalkiel and the demon woke once more this time more powerful then it had ever been, there was no conflict. Raven could not control the hunger this time and the demon took control. Raven went on a violent rampage as the Demon lashed out at everything Raven held dear most importantly his wife Devilz Angel. It was upon observing this I realized the error in my ways as Raven was now fighting a full scale war within as opposed to being closer to joining and putting Raven finally at peace ending the inner turmoil that this conflict was causing him. However regretfully I did not intervene following my code to my order to remain neutral. From this time forward Raven would have to deal with this conflict accepting what he was a Hybrid. The demon finally calming would alter Raven, he became darker and more cold once more reverting to a loner who chose to walk alone.
Raven would eventually join the federation known as CCW, where his dark ways would only become darker, this would ultimately cost Raven is marriage and ties to most of his family who where always shaky at best. Seeing Raven becoming more detached from humanity almost void of emotion I decided it was finally time to intervene, my efforts to help Raven would be short lived, as Raven would be killed at the hands of UndeadEnigma. During this time I made a sacrifice and using my most powerful magic's brought Raven back to the land of the living. This however cost me my position in my order although it did not stop my studies. Upon his return from the dead Raven was more jaded then ever before and there was even a period where I decided there was nothing I could do for him and simply watched. More recently Devilz Angel divorced Raven. This caused something to happen to Raven within, he started to display more of the traits he did when I first met him almost as if the demon was satisfied with the punishment he had trust upon Raven and started to loosen its grasp. Again I reclaimed my ties with Raven wondering if he would finally reach his destiny and become a Greater Ravenos after almost 900 years of his inner battles in the Hybrid state. This was not to be as soon as I thought it would be however. Raven was left in his own self pity over the recent events in his life and how he has lost so much that he held dear giving into the desires for power and wealth of the demon however he was on the path.
