Tell us everything about your past!
@Guardian I was hatched many years ago on a planet whose name you could not hope to pronounce. My people inherited the planet from humans who had destroyed themselves in a nuclear holocaust, or so I thought. As it turns out, a small group of humans escaped the destruction in an intergenerational ark ship. (This is what you humans do.)
Fortunately, we ravens are highly intelligent, and I was able to construct my own spaceship capable of traveling between planets, utilizing only spare parts left over from the previous civilization and blueprints I found on a computer which had survived. Once I had escaped my planet's orbit, I was contacted by a passing group of pirates. They abducted me, as pirates are wont to do, but I quickly rose through their ranks it became captain.
I'm afraid that for legal reasons, I cannot disclose all of the exploits we enjoyed, but suffice to say that we all became quite wealthy. Unhappily, I attracted the attention of the Galactic government, and so ended my career as a pirate. I hid for a time on a mining asteroid before hiring the services of one Rick O'Shea, a retired bounty hunter, to smuggle me out.
Eventually, I acquired a customized starship, which I captained with the help of Mr. O'Shea, Cachinnate of the Hyena people, James Tiberius Troll, and some others who joined the crew anonymously. Unhappily, James and Cachinnate had a falling-out, and James resigned from my crew. We searched for years for any trace of humans, and my remaining crew members eventually gave up, but I was determined to punish your species for destroying so many worlds across the galaxy.
Eventually, as you know, I arrived here on Earth, only to learn that someone had tipped off the Galactic government as to my location. That is why I hide here.
