Appearance
A lean raven-black kenku with weathered charcoal feathers, a hooked beak worn smooth at the tip, and bright, watchful eyes that never seem to rest. Ebra dresses in practical dark leathers under a hooded coat stitched with hidden pockets, lockpicks, poison vials, and false seals. His shadow is wrong, it moves a heartbeat late, then slips free of his feet as a lithe humanoid silhouette with a too-wide grin, a living embodiment of his appetites for power, theft, and cruelty.
Mannerisms
He speaks in clipped borrowed phrases, often changing voice mid-sentence to mimic whoever last impressed or frightened him. When thinking, he taps two fingers against his beak like a lock being tested. In tense moments, his shadow sometimes gestures before he does, as if impatient with his hesitation.
Personality
Quiet, watchful, and unnervingly patient, Ebra prefers to listen until people reveal what they want hidden. He is charming in a stolen-voice kind of way, but his warmth feels curated, as if he learned friendliness the same way he learned lockpicking. Beneath the surface, he is proud, fiercely self-controlled, and terrified of becoming a vessel for the shadow that shadows his every step.
Ideals
Freedom through precision. No cage, law, or master deserves obedience unless it is earned. Ebra believes the best way to survive a cruel world is to become more skilled, more informed, and more difficult to catch than the people who would exploit him.
Bonds
He keeps a hidden ledger of every person who ever fed him, sheltered him, or betrayed him. He will repay kindness in full, and betrayal in kind. The shadow is bound to him somehow, and Ebra is determined to discover whether it is a curse, a punishment, or the truest part of himself.
Flaws
Ebra trusts the voice of his shadow too easily when it flatters his anger. He hoards secrets like treasure and will choose a clever lie over a useful truth if it buys him control. When cornered, he becomes reckless, because part of him would rather burn the whole room than be trapped inside it.
Quirks
Background
Ebra was hatched in the soot-black alleys behind a river market, where voices mattered more than faces and the quickest hands fed the flock. He learned early that a stolen sound could open doors, a copied gait could close them, and a borrowed lie could keep a hungry kenku alive for one more night. The city taught him burglary, forgery, and the art of vanishing into a crowd before anyone decided to ask who had taken the ring, the ledger, or the life. By the time the watch learned his name, he had already practiced being three other people. The shadow came later. At first it was only a trick of lantern light, a shape that lingered when anger or greed sharpened his hunger. Then it began to move on its own, a living silhouette with Ebra's stolen smiles and private cruelties. It whispers no words, but it mirrors every vice he tries to deny, swaggering when he covets, crouching when he lies, and reaching first for blood whenever mercy would be safer. Ebra now walks the line between self-mastery and surrender, using the Rogue's discipline to keep his darkest reflection leashed while pretending, to enemies and allies alike, that the shadow is merely an illusion.
“By the time the watch learned his name, he had already practiced being three other people.”
