Corax (School of Hard Knocks)

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.

Corax comes from The Clarity, a race that re-engineered themselves tens of thousands of years ago. They wedded psionics and biotechnology to uplift themselves to a higher state of being. Their signature enhancement is their skeletal structure, a crystalline matrix that serves as a battery and amplifier for their innate psionic powers; powers that have the capacity to increase over time, with practice. Those of the royal bloodlines received even greater, purer genetic modifications, and the oldest of the royal lineages possess nearly godlike mental abilities. The Clarity can effectively metabolize psychic energy (whether stored internally or simply absorbed from their environment), and for that reason heal quickly and possess substantial stamina.
