Avian

“THEY LEFT BUTTONS ON THE FLOOR, JIMMY!” -Grian Flightwatcher, after accidentally dropping his brother Jimmy into a pitfall.

Hundreds of years ago, some small tribes of people were once blessed by the gods with the wings of birds, insects, and dragons for different reasons in order to protect themselves. Their descendants still wander the lands to this day. Avians have also been infamous for triggering traps, hidden mechanisms, and unpredictable magical effects due to their curiosity.

They appear decently similar to other usual creatures, like Humans and Elves, but with wings sprouting from their backs and sometimes behind their ears.

some tags under cut :)

I'm a blue jay and I would have wings and ear wings and probably little face feathers as my physical traits.

I can also shift into a blue jay :)

dammit I don't have my tags list on this device... I'll do more tags in the morning maybe.

Or a Geep, which is a crossbreed between sheep and goats

Actually geep sounds fun

hmmm… I think I would definitely be an avian hybrid… probably a magpie :D for physical characteristics I’d say wings obviously, sharper teeth, and some feathers around my hair! Headwings are fun but I like my earrings too much… maybe pointed ears though :}

edit so apparently we’re giving rationale for what hybrid we are… :D

okay so points for avian: i. Freaking love wind. Wind and high places it’s kind of weird but it’s cool. I also definitely have some vocal stims I do that sound like birdcalls. And in the vein of “avians tend to be chaotic gremlins”… yeah y’all know me lol. And pressure stim with blankets and stuffed animals! Which is basically the technical way to say “nest” XD

points for magpie: first thought about it off a personality quiz forever ago, but they rly fit! I literally. Have boxes of shiny rocks and things. I also love wearing a bunch of rings/earrings/necklaces/etc, again with the shinies. Magpies are also green and blue in addition to black and white, and those are my favorite colors! They’re corvids and I love corvids… my silly little birds that don’t make sense :D (smarter than they should be, songbirds with wings like birds of prey, mirror recognition, etc) they also mimic voices! Magpies are one of the birds in the One For Sorrow rhyme, and three (my favorite number) for a girl! This is getting really rambly and specific IVE PUT TOO MUCH THOUGHT INTO THIS XD

ooo I really want to draw this now :DDDD <I drew it

This is awesome you’re all getting tagged (/nf and open tags as well! Hope I didn’t doubletag)

so I couldn't figure out how to make an audio recording of just audio so you get a black screen as I cover my camera

the audio quality isn't the best and the miiiiiind bit sounds horrible but here's my voice reveal :D

and i'm changing it to 150 notes
