Amberskye

Name of character: Amberskye

Nicknames: Amber, Skye

Age: Teenage years for a gryphon...whatever that would be ;P

Sex: Female

Height: About two stories at the shoulder, otherwise average gryphon height.

Species/Race: Gryphon

Description/Appearance: Amberskye is of average height and length but her litheness makes her appear smaller than she really is. Her wings, approximately fifteen feet from tip to tip, are the shape of that of a falcon’s; arrowed and slender. Her feline part is spotted, with black and dark brown rosettes. The only avian parts of her—besides her wings—are her beak and eyes. Her strong beak, like the common raptor, angles down into a sharp point, meant for rending and tearing. Her eyes, set a bit farther on each side of her head, have the binocular vision of the eagle and the close proximity of the common sparrow. Her eyes are a golden yellow with flecks of emerald green.

Background: Amberskye is a wanderer, lending a helping paw here and there, though she rarely stays in one place for more than a year. At one point, she did have a mate, Firesong, but he was captured by a small army of bandits several years ago, and she hasn't seen him since. She searched for him for as long as she could, but to no avail and so she wanders, for ever searching...(ok, that was lame, lol.)

Abilities/Magicks: Amberskye’s magic is somewhat limited, but the magic she does know is unique to her and to her only, for she is of the Earthborne, and there are but three Earthborne known to GryphonKind. Being Earthborne, Amberskye’s magics are very, very rare, and very, very –few– know neither how to counter her (fairly minor) spells nor how to penetrate her mental barriers. She's not invincible nor is she godly, her magics are mostly geared to defense, but that does not mean she doesn’t know how to be on the offensive.

Weapons/Items: What nature’s given her (claws, beak, etc), along with the sword (shortsword, given her anatomy), and the bow; long, short, and crossbow.

Nature/Alignment: Good

Special Notes: Personality: Amberskye is a personable, charismatic gryphon. Though she is closer toward the younger part of her generation, she is mature beyond her years. She is often quiet, but not reclusive. Amberskye, while she is not completely, 100% outgoing, she will confront others in attempt to strike up a conversation or help et cetera. She is a peaceful creature; she’d rather not fight, but should she be forced into protecting herself and/or those she cares for, she is a formidable opponent.

Unlike most of her kith and kin, Amberskye reserves no judgment on her specie’s long-time enemy, the dragon. Though she may not approve of their doings and such, she has vowed to not be as narrow-minded and one-sided as many before her have been.
