Quoth was born as a common raven. This isn't particularly special, as there are a lot of ravens, but from the onset he was somewhat odd. He was always fascinated with humanity, and spent time learning to read the pages and books he saw around the Redmond Barrens where he roosted. His parents did not understand, but were supportive. He kept learning, reading old stories on paper, observing the people he saw in the city, and searching through the streets to figure out the secrets of metahumanity. Eventually, his oddness turned out to have a source: he learned he could turn into a metahuman. He adapted quickly, using his newfound ability to blend in among metahumanity, observing them from up close and learning things he hadn't even thought of before. He made a deal with the gangers in a building he was near, after a few miscommunications as to why he was there, letting him build his nest there in exchange for keeping an eye out for them. He kept looking into the culture of humanity, and learned of shadowrunners: people who could go anywhere, take anything, find any secret.

Character Information
Summary
A curious, mischievous raven who's immensely curious about metahumans and their culture, who uses their adept abilities to pry secrets from places they shouldn't be.
Goals
-Learn more about metahumanity.
-Find interesting things for his nest.
Background
Quoth was born as a common raven. This isn't particularly special, as there are a lot of ravens, but from the onset he was somewhat odd. He was always fascinated with humanity, and spent time learning to read the pages and books he saw around the Redmond Barrens where he roosted. His parents did not understand, but were supportive. He kept learning, reading old stories on paper, observing the people he saw in the city, and searching through the streets to figure out the secrets of metahumanity. Eventually, his oddness turned out to have a source: he learned he could turn into a metahuman. He adapted quickly, using his newfound ability to blend in among metahumanity, observing them from up close and learning things he hadn't even thought of before. He made a deal with the gangers in a building he was near, after a few miscommunications as to why he was there, letting him build his nest there in exchange for keeping an eye out for them. He kept looking into the culture of humanity, and learned of shadowrunners: people who could go anywhere, take anything, find any secret. Inspired, Quoth decided to try to join the ranks of these remarkable individuals, so that he could learn everything the metahuman world had to offer.
Narrative Significant Qualities

Clever Raven(Mentor Spirit (Raven), Sense of Direction): Quoth's a highly intelligent and curious person, and has worked tirelessly to sharpen his mind.
Negative
Fell Omen(Bad Luck, Disheveled, The Goat): For whatever reason, people tend to dislike Quoth, seeing him as ominous and threatening. Most other ravens think he's fine though.
