Name: Raime the Traitor, Raime the Raven Knight, Rebel Raime
Age: Unknown. Possibly ageless due to his Special Soul. I'd say looks to be in his forties.
Canon: Dark Souls 2.
Picture (optional):
Canon background (wiki link if you're lazy):
Raime, a warrior of unknown origin, was one of King Vendrick's most loyal and powerful knights. Taking on the crest of the Raven, despite its fabled bad omen, Raime was unmatched by the field and eventually became the king's left hand alongside Velstadt. The two stuck with their king, and with each other, through thick and thin, both of the knights treating each other as brothers and Vendrick as something of a father.
A barrier arose, however, when Nashandra arrived. A child of Dark, yet a woman of unmatched beauty, she quickly manipulated herself into the position of Queen. Whispering in her King's ear, she convinced him to invade the Land of the Giants and take something important from them. Raime had doubts, but Velstadt and Vendrick would not be swayed.
This came around when the Giants invaded Drangleic, revenge in their hearts. Raime and Velstadt both had a choice; loyalty to their King, or loyalty to their Kingdom. Velstadt chose the former, and Raime the latter. When Raime sought to destroy Nashandra to save his king, Velstadt confronted him and the two clashed. The battle was close, but Raime was bested by his brother-in-arms, and his King declared him a traitor. The Fume Knight was banished, going from place to place, seeing other children of Dark do the same to their own kings.
He wandered without purpose for a long time... enough time for the memories to blur together. That is, until he found Brume Tower... and Nadalia.
A child of Dark herself, Raime initially sought to destroy her. He was quickly beset by guilt, however, realizing this child may be benevolent like the one he encountered at Eleum Loyce. Instead helping her, Nadalia proceeded to heal the Fume Knight, strengthen him, and give him new purpose. Nadalia didn't want power like Nashandra; she wanted to be left alone. Nadalia received protection, and Raime a mother.
Abilities:
Swordsmanship: Raime is extremely skilled in the use of both his massive straight sword and even larger greatsword.
Strength: Raime uses his huge straight sword with one hand like it's a toy. He wields the greatsword similarly, but with a bit more difficulty. However, wielding the greatsword with two hands makes it just as easy to wield as his other sword with one. Combining all this with his sheer striking power (you aren't blocking that), I'd say he's got a ton or so of lifting/striking power.
Imbuing: Raime is capable of enhancing himself and his weapons with both Dark and Fire simultaneously, further augmenting his power. This same power gives him some degree of a strange mix of pyromancies and hexes.
Speed: Raime is fast, all things considered. Despite wearing heavy armor and wielding two huge weapons, he can run/jump across a twenty or thirty foot gap in a couple seconds.
Special Soul: Raime had ascended beyond mortality and the Curse, being beyond aging and undeath. This is why he is so large and has a massive amount of health.
Equipment:
Fume Sword
Fume Knight Ultra Greatsword
Fume Knight Armor (see first picture)
Flipside Background:
Bran Raime was born into an upper middle class family. His young life was extremely average, with his sometimes gung ho attitude getting him into trouble. Fights were not an uncommon occurrence around him. In fact, they became less uncommon as time went on. Unmatched in school wrestling, boxing, and every other sport he partook in, Berel graduated high school and went no further, instead becoming a small-time MMA fighter taking fights where he can, and not always legal ones.

P.S.: I'm very much open to character links, so don't hesitate to ask.
