Editing Corax (School of Hard Knocks) (section)

== Corax, Prince of Space ==

Corax's real name is essentially unpronounceable in Earth language, but it sounds close to "Corax," and his family crest does include a big black bird, so he thought it was fitting.  For his "normal" identity, he will be going by Jack Raven.
<br/><br/>
His family is from one of the royal lineages of his people, gifted with greater psionic potential and heir to noble title.  In theory, they should rule over an Earth-sized habitable moon orbiting a gas giant.  They now hold very little other than the ancestral mansion located on that moon, however.  The house itself is enormous, and houses several dozen persons - grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.  However, while the physical structure and the family's other possessions are built to last, they have almost no money.  The last few fading sinecures are sufficient to keep them barely out of poverty, but financial collapse looms slowly closer by the decade.
<br/><br/>
Of course, none of them would even ''consider'' selling off the last of their ancestral possessions, or giving up enough of their inherited pride to work for a living.  
<br/><br/>
Corax grew up among the shadows and cobwebs of long-faded glories, being told he was the heir apparent, destined to be Prince of their entire sphere.  As he got older, though, it became clear that his family had decayed to near-insolvency, and that he would likely preside over the collapse of his family's last gasps.  
<br/><br/>
Caught between a history his family wouldn't let him throw away, and the fact that it was a doomed endeavor, Corax turned to juvenile delinquency.  He has engaged in fights, joyriding, and various kinds of petty crime.  Even though his powers are not yet fully developed, he is already too dangerous for the local authorities to ignore - tradition or no.  His parents, secretly, cut a deal with the Hard Knocks producers - in return for their son's participation, they'll receive a nice, fat bunch of Inter-Stellar Kredits (ISK.)
<br/><br/>
If Corax ever finds out that they finally broke their compact against any kind of commercial enterprise by selling him out, he's going to lose his shit.
