Corbin is from the mountains of West Virginia, so he has that Appalachian drawl to his speech, but it's further smoothed over with... something else that's hard to define. It bears a vague resemblance to British English, or maybe Scottish or Irish or Welsh, and it's not strong but it's there. But it's easy enough to identify where he's from, and he doesn't try to hide it. His family has lived on the land for the last five hundred years, he's proud of where he's from. His father has been there longer, since he's the spirit that inhabits the river that flows next to their house.

Corbin's family are called Crowkin, a species of shifters much like we think of werewolves and the like. It's a separate species from humans, not related to the cycle of the moon and you can't be turned into one by being bitten, but they can cross-breed with them, along with most other of the even remotely bipedal cryptid type species. Theoretically at least, Corbin's not aware of anyone trying. There are a great number of shifters, everything from wolves to cats to rats, even sharks, seals, and the like. They're not very common, but they're out there. There's also lots of other types of cryptids in Corbin's world, all the ones you've heard of and also plenty of things like naids, dryads, and also Fae. Corbin learned to swim in a lake that is home to some Nessies, and his ah, first time was with a dryad.

Corbin himself isn't terribly sure how old he is. Sure, his license lists him as being 19, but he looks older than that, and he sure as hell feels older. Faerie is fucky with timelines like that, so he'll just answer with a shrug if asked.

He's fiercely protective of the people he cares about, and it's not very hard to get into that category. He doesn't like to get violent, but he's also the friend that's going to make sure your abusive father ends up in a shallow grave. He tries his best to be a good person, to help people that need helping and is just all around a friendly sort of guy. His family has been known as "weird" for as long as anyone can remember, but that hasn't stopped him from bringing home 'strays,' people and animal alike.

His family essentially do mutual aid for cryptids, everything from providing medical care to food to helping them find good places to hide from humans, to making sure said humans don't come through and cut down their homes. They live off the grid, and are both fiercely independent while also recognizing the value of a community. His oldest sister does environmental activism with the full support of both his parents. And no, not the harassing rich women in fur coats stuff, the disabling logging equipment and sabotaging mining and drilling operations stuff.
