THE MAN WHO CAME BACK WRONG
DEATH KEPT
THE BODY. The city kept the rest.
Eric Draven never expected much from life until he met Shelly Webster. They found each other inside a rehabilitation center, two damaged people who understood each other long before either of them understood what they were becoming together. They escaped, built something resembling a life and, for a short time, Eric finally had something worth believing in.
Vincent Roeg destroyed it. Eric and Shelly were murdered because of Roeg and the terrible influence surrounding him. Death should have been the end of their story. Instead Eric awakened somewhere between life and whatever waited beyond it. He was offered a way back — return to the living world, kill the man responsible and save Shelly's soul. Eric accepted. He returned different. His wounds healed, death refused to keep him and the Crow followed wherever he went. Eric hunted Roeg's people through the city, survived what should have killed him several times over and eventually dragged Roeg himself across the boundary separating the living from the dead. Shelly was given another chance. Eric wasn't. |

FILE_02 // THE SENTENCE
THE WARDEN
He fulfilled the bargain. The bargain didn't release him.
Eric expected oblivion after Roeg died. He had done what was asked of him. Shelly was alive again. His own life had been traded willingly and there was nothing left to bargain with.
Then the Crow came back. Dragging Roeg bodily through the boundary between worlds had damaged something. Eric had not simply killed a man; for several seconds he had forced the worlds of the living and dead to overlap. The passage closed again, but it never healed properly. Neither did Eric. Kronos refused to send him beyond it. Eric had become attached to the fracture he'd created — a living anchor holding shut a door that should never have been opened from both sides. Now the Crow finds disturbances in that boundary and leads Eric toward them. People who bought years they were never meant to have. Souls stolen through occult bargains. The dead trapped by someone unwilling to release them. Creatures wearing bodies that no longer belong to them. People attempting to escape death through forces they do not understand. Eric's task is simple in theory. Correct the imbalance. Sometimes that means saving someone. Sometimes that means killing them. And sometimes Eric is merely the last person a ghost sees before finally realizing it is dead. As long as the fracture exists, Eric remains on Earth. No aging. No natural death. No reunion waiting at the end of the road. Just the city, the Crow and whatever death forgot to collect. |

CROW_PROTOCOL
FOLLOW THE BIRD.
The Crow is not his pet, his servant or his friend. It is messenger, compass and occasionally judge. When it appears, someone somewhere has disturbed the natural order.

PSYCH_EVALUATION // UNAUTHORIZED
There is still a man underneath it.
| Eric appears quieter than he actually is. Grief stripped away much of the recklessness people once saw first, but it never made him emotionally numb. If anything, death made everything sharper. He loves hard, hates hard and has never been particularly talented at doing anything halfway.
His humor is dry, dark and often badly timed. He can be sarcastic even when bleeding, irritated while helping someone and unexpectedly gentle toward people who remind him of the parts of himself he would rather pretend are gone. Eric does not trust easily. He watches people closely, notices contradictions and remembers the things others assume he ignored. Violence comes naturally when he believes it is necessary, but cruelty does not. He has little patience for bullies, predators or people who use power to make vulnerable people smaller. He is protective without enjoying the title of hero and compassionate without being particularly polite about it. His loyalty is extreme. His forgiveness isn't. |

CONNECTION_PROTOCOL
Love didn't die with him.
Eric is an intensely romantic character and absolutely capable of falling in love again. That does not mean he is looking for it.
He will not make the first move. That is a fixed part of how I write him and I will not make exceptions depending on the writer, character or chemistry involved. Eric once loved someone enough to trade away his own future for hers. Allowing another person into that part of him will therefore take time. He is a genuine slow burn character. If a connection develops organically and eventually becomes romantic, however, Eric will be ridiculously devoted. Loyal, protective, affectionate, attentive and probably one of the most intense partners imaginable once someone actually manages to get past all those walls. Romance is never required. Friendships, enemies, supernatural connections, reluctant alliances, complicated loyalties, antagonistic dynamics and completely platonic stories are just as welcome. |
