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.
