Merits:

Double Draught
Most Corax can only drink one eye of the given dead man's eyes. You have the unique knack of drinking from both, allowing you to see details more mainstream Corax might miss. You get the best and worst of the corpse's death, and can integrate the two to form a coherent picture, rather than being forced to rely on one viewpoint or another.

Eidetic Memory
You have a photographic memory and can remember in perfect detail things you've seen or heard.

Strong Claws
Bird's claws contract automatically when they sleep, allowing them to keep a grip all night long on whatever perch they've achieved. You can apply that sort of grip whenever you want, making it nigh-impossible to pull something out of your grasp if you really want to hang onto it. If you decide that you absolutely need to keep something in your grasp, you get an extra three dice of strength to use if anyone tries to take the item away. This can also be used when hanging out of a window, cliffs, tree branches and so on for dear life, or when trying to haul dangling victims back to safety from perilous locals.

Flaws:

Diet of Worms
You have a hard time keeping your appetites straight. While in bird form, you get cravings for cheeseburgers and fries, neither of which will do much to keep you airborne. Even worse, your bird appetites come through in Homid, meaning you've got unhealthy attractions to things like roadkill. Needless to say, this flaw can cause certain social situations to become awkward (unless you spend willpower).

Birdlike Mannerisms
You don't leave your corvid nature entirely behind when you lose your feathers. Rather, you're prone to bird-like head motions, sudden stalking advances, standing on one leg, and, when you think no one else is looking, attempting the human equivalent of preening. Mind you, ninety-nine point nine percent of the human population will not ascribe anything odd to you other than perhaps a need for certain medications, but to that point one percent who are in the know, you will stand out.
