Description For Summer Session #1 : Character Introduction

I uhh like designing clothes. A lot. I suppose this is more 'wardrobe'  than 'bio' but I actually have more clothes to expand upon separately. xD This took for heckin ever.
-------
LONG TEXT AHEAD

Name: Viktor Ravenheart

 Originally born Viktor Chandler, Viktor changed his name to the moniker Ravenheart to show his dedication and service to the Raven Queen (Goddess of Death) and to further remove himself from his family

Gender: Cis male

Alignment: Neutral/Neutral Good

Age: 21

Birthday: September 30th

Height: 6'3”

Weight: 155 lbs

Shoe size: 11

Occupation: Necromancer/Cleric/Spirit Medium

Weapon:
 Rapier
 Hand Crossbow
 Available corpses in the area
 His brutal honesty

Love Interest: None thus far. He's not much of a people person. People he's allowed to get close to him have hurt him deeply in the past so he has difficulty letting people into his life let alone his heart.  He has an arranged marriage he ran away from though..

Rivals: Currently no one specifically. All individuals are regarded with a fair amount of skepticism until (if/when) Viktor gets to know them.

Friends:  His puppy (a skeletal dog) named Biscuit. His best and closest companion
 Thunk the halfling barbarian. Currently Viktor regards him as a teammate and maybe a small child? Not too find of him upon first meeting. Thunk threatened his dog Biscuit
 Aaronious Silverleaf the elven ranger. Viktor views him as a teammate and currently not much else. He will do collaborations; but they have a mutual aloofness.
 Elise McBride A sweet little ghost girl he used to play with as a child

 Vincent: A vampire with some adorable bats. Current employer and fellow animal lover. “Friend” used loosely

 Chesire: A talking fluffy black cat that may or may not be a deity of some sort. He really enjoys the company of the fluffy brat.

Family: Mom (Anna Chandler) and Father (Steve Chandler) and a fiancee from an arranged marriage he ran away from.

Sexuality: He's not thought about it yet. He doesn't think highly of people; so he hasn't found a living person that interests him.

Nationality: Since his world is a fictional 5e DnD realm; he's not from anywhere specific. Heavily influenced by the customs present in Victorian England

Eyes: Violet

Skin: Milk white

Hair: Black

Tattoos/Piercings: One in each ear; no tattoos

Jewelry: Varies based on his outfits; but themed usually in gold, crosses, and the emblem of the Raven Queen. He's got a pair of tinted shades for the sake of fashion and mild eye protection

Colour scheme: Black, purple, and gold

Scent: A mix of patchouli, anise, and lavender with an underlying faint musk of death.

Favorite Food: Cheese and sweet breads. In a modern setting, he'd love cheese danishes

Favorite Drink: Elven wine

Abilities:
 Spirit medium/Psychic/ “Spirit Talker” Viktor has been able to see ghosts since he was a child; seeing them so frequently sometimes has him confused as to whether or not he's speaking to a living being
 Healer: Actually has a healing/cleric background. His mother is a well-respected cleric and apothecary. He learned a lot from her about different herbs and medical procedures.
 A self-taught necromancer. A slight deviation from his clerical background. This started from the loss of his beloved dog Biscuit. He couldn't handle the loss and decided to take matters into his own hands
 Friend to animals. He's not a druid nor trained to handle animals, but for some reason they seem to love him. He refers to all animals as 'Friend' and tends to prioritize them over people
 Sense Undead: Can tell if there have been undead within the area in 24 hours. Can also tell if you've lost a close friend or family member recently.
 Can run in heels. That skill is to be feared.


Weaknesses:
 Charisma. Cannot people for anything. He doesn't have the subtlety and finesse required to handle most social situations. Viktor tends to talk about delicate subjects (death, loss, etc) with little to know delicacy. It's not that he's trying to be mean; he just has all the blunt subtlety of a sledgehammer.
 Physical strength: Not that great. He'd probably lose a fist fight. Thin, flimsy body

 Emotionally guarded. Takes him a long time to trust or open up to anyone.

 Survival skills are minimal at best. On missions, he generally survives on rations and tavern food. His party members take pity on him and tend to gift him spare food since they have knowledge nature and boy he does not.
 Cannot hold his liquor. Will turn into that gossipy bitch that will talk shit about a person like they're not there even if they're right in front of him.


Wealth:
His family is what is referred to as the 'nouveau riche' (new rich). Which means, Viktor was not born into wealth. Unlike his noble ranger companion, he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has manners; but would most definitely stick out amongst the upper class. His family came into wealth via successful business enterprise. His mother is a well-respected apothecary and cleric. His father is a business-savvy trader focusing on oddities; particularly capitalizing on his son's peculiar talents.


Trivia:
 In a modern AU would probably be a mortician's apprentice or studying for a doctorate

 Way too thin for his height. He neglects his health and throws himself head first into his work 

Tropes

Perky Goth
Not Good With People
Runaway Fiance
Nouveau Riche
Raven Hair and Ivory Skin


Songs I associate with Viktor:

Villainy Thrives

Pro Memoria

I really dig his style, it's so gothic and glamorous - truly befitting of a necromancer. And damn he can rock those heels, I can't ever measure up lol. Absolutely love his braided hairstyle.
