Corvus Branwen

Corvus is a OC, created by Ronin2106. He comes from RWBY universe, being an older son of Raven Branven and a brother to Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose.

History
Corvus was born two years earlier then Yang. While his mother is Raven Branwen, it`s unknown, who is his father. Only thing about him known, is that he died before Corvus`s birth. Soon, his mother became a wife to Taiyang Xiao Long, whom Corvus believed to be his father.

After giving birth to Yang, Raven suddenly disappeared, but before that she passed to her son a massage:

"Be strong, Corvus. Be strong for Yang, for me. Never give up, my son."

Corvus took those close to his heart and since then he made his best to become stronger. At the age of 7 he went into Signal Academy, where he exceled in fighting, hunting and many others subjects. At the age of 13 he created his own personal weapon- black-bladed katana, called Raven`s Oath. During that time he was spotted by Professor Ozpin from Beacon, who took a great intrest in boy. Two years later, Corvus recieved an offer to move to Beacon, which he accepted.

In Beacon Academy, Corvus became a leader of team CANT (Pronounced "Kanto"), which was consisted of himself, Amber, future Fall Maiden, Neopolitan, his partner and best friend, who later became one of his enemies, and Tiber Centuro, Corvus`s rival in comand. During their time in Beacon, team CANT became known as the best fighting force in all o Vale. And Corvus was considered a prodigy and a natural-born swordsman and a leader. He led his team in Vytal Festival, where they became victors. Also, he led them in numerous battles with Grimm. His skill with the sword, his high number of killed Grimm and uncanny ability to copy almoust every move into his fighting style gained him a nickname: The Black Reaper. That title came to him at the age of 17.

But, unknown to anybody, Corvus also took part in illegal dueling matches between world`s deadliest mercenaries and killers, known as Arena. There, Corvus`s skills as a Huntsman quickly made him one of the champions. Also, Corvus gained a lot of knowledge about Remnant`s underground world and it`s members. One day, during one of his matches, where Corvus fought against six Beowolfs, he was badly injured and was almoust killed by Grimm, if it wasn`t for his mother`s help, who suddenly appeared and saved Corvus from death. That was the first time he saw her in nearly 15 years. Raven and Corvus later fought against twelve killers, who were after their lives. After that, Raven and Corvus had their first talk in many years:

"Corvus, what in God`s name, were you doing here? Are you insane?!"

"Mother, I was just practicing my skills, becoming stronger. Just as you told me."

"In Arena?! How could have you even thought about it?! What if I didn`t showed up?!"

"I would have handled that."

"No, you would be dead by now, `cause your lust for fighting caused those mercs to kill you. Corvus, tell me, would you leave your sisters alone?"

"I...No, never."

"Promise, that you`ll never fight just for the thrill, but for protecting yourself and your family."

"I promise. Anyway, it`s great to see you, mom."

"Same here, son, but I must go. Be safe."

"I will."

After graduating Beacon, Corvus became a solo Hunter, who operated in Vale and Vacio for the next two years. Throw out that time Corvus met his mother several times and even worked with her on a case together. He became one of the few people, who had a contact with Raven. By the time his sisters attended Beacon, Corvus became worried by the news of White Fang activities and their new allies, especially one known as Cinder Fall, who took down his friends, Amber and Tiber. For that Corvus sworn to stop her and avenge his fallen teamates. He arrived back in Beacon before the begining of a new Vytal Festival.

Perconality
Unlike Yang and Ruby, Corvus has a calm and patient temper. He rarely shows any signs of anger or fear, usually keeping his emotions under control. Usually, you`ll see him having a very focused and calm demianor.

His battles and life itself molded Corvus into a warrior, who will fight for his cause until death. Corvus is also a bit overprotective towards Yang and Ruby, often steping into their own battles. This sometimes leads to fighting between them, but sisters understand, that Corvus simply loves them and defends them.

Corvus possesses extended knowledge about criminal world and terrorist activities in Vale, due to his time on Arena.

Branwen also has an uncanny ability to observe and copy other`s fighting style. This led Corvus to creating his own fighting style, which takes pieces of every fighter he observed and then adapted to fit Corvus.

Corvus is very unforgiving and is known to hold a grudge for a long periods of times. He rarely forgives those, who hurt his loved ones, but he also believes in redemption, such as with Neo.
