Raven Roth, often simply known as Raven, embodies a complex fusion of traits shaped by his unique heritage as the son of the demon Trigon and the human Arella. His personality is characterized by introspection, solemnity, and a profound sense of responsibility towards both his powers and his teammates. Despite his often stoic and reserved demeanor, Raven is deeply empathetic, a trait that defines not only his interactions with others but also his combat strategy, where he frequently employs his abilities to protect and heal.
Raven's upbringing in the interdimensional realm of Azarath, under the tutelage of the pacifistic monks, heavily influenced his personality. The teachings of Azarath instilled in him a deep-seated belief in peace, self-control, and the suppression of negative emotions, which are essential for him to prevent his demonic powers from becoming uncontrollable. This background has rendered him an individual of few words, preferring to express himself through actions rather than conversations.
The duality of his nature, being both demon and human, has instilled in Raven a constant internal struggle. He harbors an inherent fear of his demonic lineage overtaking his humanity, a battle that often leads him to isolate himself in an attempt to protect those around him. However, his strong bonds with his fellow Teen Titans serve as a grounding force, reminding him of his humanity and helping him navigate his dual identity.
Raven's interaction with his team members reveals a nuanced personality that balances his dark origins with his earnest desire to do good. While he may initially come across as aloof or distant, his loyalty and care for his friends are undeniable. He often plays a pivotal role in the team, not just as a powerful combatant but as a voice of reason, guiding his more impulsive teammates with wisdom beyond his years.
In summary, Raven's personality is a reflection of his constant battle between the darkness inherited from his father and the compassion learned from his mother and the monks of Azarath. His character arc is a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and the realization that his power, derived from both light and darkness, can be a force for good. empathetic ◈ responsible ◈ retrained ◈ sarcastic

Raven Roth, known as Raven, is a complex character whose life is marked by his heritage as the son of the demon Trigon and the human Arella Roth. Raised in the mystical dimension of Azarath, he was taught early on to control his emotions to suppress his inherent demonic powers. Despite the serene upbringing, the shadow of his father loomed large, propelling Raven into a life where the balance between good and evil within him was constantly tested.
Raven's narrative took a dramatic turn when his demonic father, Trigon, sought to invade Earth. Understanding the grave threat posed by his father, Raven sought the assistance of the Teen Titans, marking the beginning of his long association with the team. His journey was characterized by his internal struggle against his demonic nature and his efforts to use his powers for the benefit of humanity and his team. Raven's deep empathy and formidable mystical abilities made him an invaluable member of the Teen Titans, though his connection to Trigon often placed him and his allies in grave danger.
The complexity of Raven's character is underscored by two pivotal events in his history: his deaths and subsequent resurrections. The first of these occurred when his own father, Trigon, using Raven as a portal, successfully invaded Earth. In the climax of this dark saga, Raven was killed in an effort to defeat Trigon, sacrificing himself to save the world and his teammates. However, the bond between Raven and the Teen Titans proved stronger than death itself. Through a combination of magic and the sheer force of their will to bring their friend back, the Titans managed to resurrect Raven, albeit in a new body, freeing him from the immediate influence of his father.
The second death and resurrection of Raven unfolded amidst another catastrophic battle, this time involving a powerful entity that sought to exploit his demonic heritage to bring about an apocalypse. Once again, Raven found himself sacrificing his life to prevent the destruction of the world, employing his vast magical powers in a way that led to his demise. The aftermath of this event saw his spirit wandering, struggling to find a way back to the living. The second resurrection of Raven, however, introduces a darker twist to his story. Unlike his first resurrection, which was driven by the combined efforts of his friends and allies seeking to restore him to life out of love and necessity, his return from the second death was orchestrated by Brother Blood. This event is steeped in malevolence and manipulation, reflecting Brother Blood's intentions to exploit Raven's powers for his own sinister purposes.
Brother Blood, a notorious enemy of the Teen Titans and a cult leader with a long history of dark magic and blood rituals, recognized the immense potential in Raven's demonic heritage. By resurrecting Raven, Brother Blood aimed to harness his abilities to achieve greater power, possibly to control or influence the world according to his malevolent desires. This resurrection was not a benevolent act but a calculated move by Brother Blood to use Raven as a pawn in his dark schemes.
These events underscore Raven's resilience, the duality of his nature, and the constant battle he wages not just against external threats but also against the darkness within. They highlight his willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good, a testament to the human side of his heritage that yearns for peace and the protection of life. Each resurrection not only brought Raven back from the brink but also served as a rebirth, allowing him to redefine his identity and his place in the world, continually fighting against the darkness while striving to uphold his values of peace and protection.

As the half-demon son of the inter-dimensional demon Trigon, Raven is very powerful and Raven has a host of unique abilities. It was noted by his father, Trigon, that he only uses a small potential of his power, and if he lets out his full inner demon, he may reach near-infinite power.
Astral Projection // Through the use of his Soul-Self, Raven can project his consciousness for therapeutic purposes (to aid in his own meditation, or to help calm an agitated ally), or for offensive attacks, rendering his enemies unconscious.
Soul-Self // Raven can manifest his "Soul-Self" through astral projection. It normally takes the form of either his human shape or a giant raven.
Darkness Manipulation // Raven can generate, shape, and manipulate darkness from his Soul Self and project it forward to attack his enemies.
Energy Construct Creation // Raven can create constructs out of darkness
Force Field // Raven can generate a powerful force field capable of easily resisting even attacks from the likes of Neron
Intangibility // Using his dark powers and abilities, he melts into walls and floors, sometimes in the form of a giant black raven
Teleportation // Raven can convert his physical body into his Soul-Self and carry or teleport herself and others across vast distances
Dimensional Travel // Raven can travel to other planes of existence like Hell
Psychokinesis // Using his Soul-Self, Raven can telekinetically manipulate, arrange and alter matter and generate energy at the atomic level
Flight // Raven can levitate off the ground and fly without visible projection of his dark energy
Hell Fire Manipulation // Raven can generate and manipulate the cursed flames of Hell. The color of the flames varies, but maybe black, blue, white, red, or the normal shades of fire, although probably in some way noticeably unusual. Sometimes, the flames are not generated but instead summoned from the depths of Hell itself.
Psionics // Raven is able to read thoughts, project and broadcast his own thoughts, as well as scan and alter the memories of others
Empathy // Raven can sense the feelings of others with no filter. He constantly feels all the emotions of others and must learn to control them, or they will overwhelm him
Emotion Negation // he can also use his empathic abilities to steal emotions from others, rendering them emotionally "numb"
Empathic Healing // he can absorb the pain of others into his own body in order to rapidly heal others from any physical injuries, as well as heal himself by going into a trance of emotional calm
Psychic Link // By using his empathic-based powers, Raven can enter another person's mind, allowing him to see, feel, and hear what they encounter
Precognition // Raven has a limited precognition ability to foresee future events before they happen, although this ability is not able to be controlled and activates spontaneously
Magic // Due to his demonic and mystical heritage, Raven can generate and control magical and mystical forces at will. He has stated that he is vastly more powerful than even a demon overlord like Neron can ever hope to be, which was proved soon after as the demon himself quickly surrendered when faced with the breath of his power
