@Virani looks good to me, I like the in character bio. And Katarina is not the team up kinda girl, though, if he makes himself useful she could learn to play nice for a little while.

San Francisco: Titan's Tower

Raven focused her mind and was only concentrating on her breathing and had finally centered herself when she heard wet feet slapping against the concreate roof of Titan Tower. The teen opened an eye and watch the red clad teen in sunglasses move to the ground to dry off. She didn’t mind him and was about to begin her mediation, however, he began to speak to break the silence. Raven made a mental note, trying to be unnoticeable makes you noticeable.

It was a long moment before Raven, is this an insult, or an attempt at humor? She allowed herself to feel the other teens emotions, she could feel guilt, jealousy, happiness, and hopefulness. The empath, however, did not feel spite and decided he was trying to be humorous.

“No, I do not have an alias, for I do not have a secret identity to protect. My name is Raven, though, I guess I should make an identity to protect, I will have to think about it.” Raven said giving no emotion in her voice. She studied him as her violet eyes moved about the teen's body, he was fit and looked as if he had been in several fights, in all honesty he was quite handsome. “So what name do you give yourself, the Red…” her eyes went to the quiver on his back then continued. “Arrow, or maybe it is the Crimson Boy?” This time a smile did escape her at least for a moment.

Before the crimson archer could reply another boy dressed in red stepped out of the elevator and she turned her focus, it was like he was the epicenter of an emotion bomb. She couldn’t help but think of a child jumping and wave for its mother’s attention. The empath’s smile completely vanished in to detached boredom as her mind slithered back behind her walls. Only now could she sense the magical power coming from this boy, he was emitting the power of the gods.

Raven didn’t have the chance to think over what the boy’s magical energy meant when yet another hero clad in red made a grand entrance. Seeing these powerful heroes nearly filled her with hope, maybe they could change her destiny, maybe they could defeat her father. No, hope is just an illusion, hope did not get things done and I will not trick myself into letting my guard down for hope.

I've updated Katarina if anyone is interested, though I might need to go back and touch some stuff and dial back her teleporting nails into people ability but it's so cool. Oh she's not a good guy btw. :p

San Francisco: Titan's Tower

Raven stood in the elevator her arms folded cross her chest and hood over her eyes, she took a deep breath held it for a second before letting it out. The teen was well trained in controlling her emotions through meditation and allowed the nervousness of meeting the rest of her team mates slip away into the void. She was invited to join the Teen Titans, though, she was the one that asked for the chance. Indeed, this was the first step in averting her dark destiny.

As she thought of darker times she felt an anger boiling up inside her, of her father and the death and torment he had brought to her, at herself for wanting his love despite everything. “No, it is pointless to dwell on the past, I can do nothing to change it. Let it all flow away, fade into nothingness,” she said calming herself. It had only been a week since she had escaped her father’s hellish realm where she had spent an unknown amount of time, as time was meaningless in Trigon’s realm unless he gave it such.

The elevator came to a stop with a “ding” and the doors slid open. Raven pushed back her hood as she stepped into the outside on top of Titan Tower, her short hair shined dark blue in the setting sun and the gem on her forehead gleamed with a bright crimson. She glanced around taking in the beautiful sunset and all the young faces around the roof top. She felt happiness creep up and a smile threating to reach her mouth, however, that too was quickly shallowed into the void. She could not afford to feel any emotions or the binds that held her father would fail, and he would be brought to earth and bring its end.

Raven pushed a strand of hair behind her ear as she found an empty seat and moved toward it. She dared not make eye contact with any of the young heroes, she was a bad conversationalist,also she had to admit, the priest of Azarath failed to prepare for handling a crowd of teenagers who did not try to hold back their emotion as they threaten to overwhelm her. Raven took a seat far from anyone and focused her mind, she would need to block out the other’s emotions until she was able deal with so many all at once.

Raven

Name: Raven
Alias: Rachel Roth
Age: 16
Powers/Drawbacks:
Astral Projection: Through the use of her soul-self, Raven can project her consciousness into the mind, for therapeutic purposes (to aid in her own meditation, or to help calm an agitated ally), or for offensive attacks, rendering her enemies unconscious.

Soul-Self: Raven can manifest her "Soul-Self" through astral projection. It normally takes the form of either her human shape or a giant raven.

Empathy: Psionic ability of empathy, the power to absorb emotions, enabling her to feel the feelings of others.

Emotion Negation: She can also use her empathy to steal emotions from others, rendering them emotionally "numb".

Empathic Healing: She can absorb the pain of injured people to ease their suffering, and induce rapid healing. This cannot be done to major injuries.

Telekinesis: Raven has the ability to move objects with mind.
Teleportation: It also serves as a way to travel into other dimensions. Using her soul-self, she can teleport herself and others over vast distances.

Flight: she is able to levitate and fly.

spell-casting: Raven can focus her dark magic to weave spells to complete various task, such as summoning tendrils or her most used spell to blast her foe with her dark energy.

Weakness: Raven's power is connected to her emotions and becoming unbalanced could cause her to lose control over her vast power which can become dangerous to her allies and herself. She's also a bit fragile and has over used her power and resulted in her fainting or becoming fatigued in the middle of a fight.
If she is divided from her soul-self for too long she risks the chance of imploding and taking out a few miles with her.

Bio:
Raven is the result of a woman’s bad decision and an inter dimensional demon. Before Raven had been born, her and her mother were spirited away by the priest of Azarath, a cult of sorts that were from another dimension. As Raven aged she was taught to keep her powers in control along with her emotions which were bond together, she learned to protect others and to defend herself. Azarath was a peaceful and serene, though Raven never felt as though she belonged, she loved her home and the priest who raised her even if they did not permit her to visit with her mother for long.

Though Raven was told that her father was dangerous and that she should never try to contact him, she was curious, she wanted to know who he was and what that made her. Maybe it was her father’s influence or maybe she had inherited her mother’s bad judgement she located a spell that would only allow her and her father to talk. However, she was unprepared for the power Trigon processed as he forced his way through the small window Raven had opened and unfortunately for her mother and for Azarath they would burn in the hell fire that the demon brought upon them.

Raven, surviving her fathers attack on Azarath was brought to Trigons dimension where he would try to corrupt the young Raven. However, to Trigon’s surprise his daughter was strong willed would not break no matter the horrors that he had shown the girl. No matter he thought, she would bend to his will eventually. Trigon would go on to try and use Raven’s connection to earth to conquer as he did for countless years, however, he underestimate Raven and she used the brief moment his guard was down to preform the rites to connect his dimension to earth and bond him to a crystal that was powerful enough to bind him, though it was only a temporary solution until she could find allies to fight her father and send him a more permanent end. She took a piece of the crystal and wears it over her third eye so he can always have an eye on her father as she returned to the world of her mother.

@Virani Sure, as many as you think you can handle. If you are playing a villain just let me know when they are going to strike and I'll set the stage for you.
