Name: Ara Taylor
AKAs: N/A
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Race: Skyborn
Deity (optional):
Description: A small Skyborn boy with brilliant orange-red hair, orange eyes, and somewhat oversized black wings that resemble those of a crow, Ara cuts a rather unlikely silhouette. A somewhat-rare switchwing Skyborn, often times he simply appears as a small, bright-haired human boy until some challenge or other causes the wings to appear.
Family (optional): Aranna, a human woman, is Ara's mother; his father is a skyborn. His littlest sister does not have wings, so his parents are fairly sure she's human, but after how Ara turned out...
Allegiances (optional):
Personality: Outgoing and bubbly, Ara is something of an airhead, but he's a well-meaning, over-the-top, give-it-your-all sort of airhead and thus many people find him pleasant company. He absolutely and a hundred percent loves flying - it's both a hobby and a passion to him as well as something to get him from place to place. He dislikes being teased for his height and tends to take that sort of thing personally. In spite of this (or even perhaps because of it) he won't take any flak from those taller or bigger than him, and hasn't since he was a young child.
Biography: Born to a human mother and a skyborn father, Ara was about ten years old when both he and his parents found out that, instead of being mostly human and taking after his mother, he'd inherited his father's wings. Always a small boy for his age, he was often picked on by older, larger children, but rarely took it lying down. Having the light build of a skyborn made him somewhat more prone to injury than his peers, but he always bounced back soon enough, healing stronger than before and never letting it dampen his spirit. Surprisingly, however, it wasn't during a fight that Ara's wings first emerged; rather, it was watching other Skyborn soaring through the air that woke Ara's urge to take to the skies.
Since then, keeping him out of trouble has proven an almost herculean task as his new wings brought him further and further from home... and higher and higher into the dangerous peaks nearby.
Equipment: When going for long flights, Ara wears insulated, lightweight flight clothing to keep him warm on long journeys. Being the hungry birdy that he is, it's almost a guarantee there is food somewhere on his person. He usually carries a backpack with various supplies, modified to sit neatly on his frame whether his wings are 'out' or not
Weapons: Ara carries a dagger for self-defense but honestly never uses it. He'd much rather prefer to run from or talk his way through trouble... though if something he cares about is on the line, he'll fight tooth and nail against it, weapon or not.
Magic: N/A
Unique Abilities (optional): Due to his small and unusually light frame, Ara is extremely agile, both on the ground and in the air. His oversized wings should, one would think, hold back his aerial performance, but he's actually quite the aerial acrobat. His mobility is his greatest strength, and he has almost limitless stamina. Watching him actually in the air is a thing of awe-inspiring beauty.
Other (optional): ......now, landings on the other hand.....
