Raven Redesign by FadingGlory

I am so, so sorry for being obsessed with creating over-complicated designs. X'D

After both @BloodHybrid and @Raksha gave their Artifact OCs epic makeovers, I couldn't help but go all-out on Raven's design. x] I tried for a #tribal/ #steampunk theme here, but all I really did was complicate his design by adding a ton of useless belts... Anyway.
A slightly updated bio will be in the comments below!

Here's a list of things I have changed that do not show up on this ref:
Age: now 16
Personality (slight changes): cold, mature, apathetic, slow to trust, alert, cynical, sarcastic, competitive
No longer weakened by the cold (but he still hates it)
Old spear replaced by "makeshift" spear
Lower half larger, legs more to scale with spider body
About six feet when in ordinary stance
Unnecessary belts, straps, and buckles because why not

I have also been learning a bit more about spiders in my spare time, so here's some info that effects Raven's bio the most:

A spider's body is filled with a fluid like blood called molymph, which essential for movement. In order to extend its legs, the spider pumps the molymph into its legs through a process called hydraulic pressure, which causes the limbs to move - sort of like a piston. Because this fluid is so vital to the spider, any blood loss will greatly subract its movability and reflexes. Thus, Raven is very cautious when it comes to combat, because he would become very vulnerable if he were to lose blood. The spider's body is also soft and easy to puncture, so he generally avoids fights. Malakai was an exception, because Raven was confident that the much smaller boy was not capable of harming him (but he had second thoughts once Malakai pulled out his daggers XD).

Re// You are now the bravest person I know ;>;
when it comes to getting rid of a spider I grab nearby rocks or shoes and start throwing x'D

But Jumping spiders

Those are the ones I scream and run from the most.
Regular small spiders don't worry me at all but expect daddy long legs (<- I think thats what they're called) makes me die inside a little xD

Awesome! CX I love the complexity of his new design and how he's even more 'scientifically accurate'! XD And don't worry, I also tend to adorn my OCs with useless trinkets!

Fun fact: A Spider/human taurid is usually called a "Drider"
