Aarav

[Airhead%]

Name: Aarav

Nickname: Airhead

Species: Long-Eared Owl

Gender: Male

Seasons: 9

Flock: Ithila

Element: Air

Rank: Hunter

Physical Description: Aarav has a somewhat different colouring than most long-eared owls. With light blue feathers that have a white trim, he's probably going to stand out unless flying in the sky. There, he has a near perfect camouflage, the only give away being the black speckles at the tips of his ears and the end of his tail. Aarav is normal sized for his species, at 36cm tall. His wingspan is large, though, 97cm when fully extended. He has striking silver eyes, signifying his air element, sorrounded by very light blue plumage near his eyes and around his pure black beak. Lastly, Aarav's talons are black and sharp, ready to attack if necessary.

Aarav is constantly trying to prove himself with his appearence, adding to his bold and cocky personality. Constantly fluffing his chest out, preening, and straightening his body as much as possible, some people think he's obsessed with personal appearence. That is very untrue, seeing how he's just obsessed with himself in general.

Personality: Ege, ego, ego. Even at a mere 9 seasons old, Aarav believes that he will become the leader of the Ithila flock and someday find peace with Anora. He is a cocky little bird, always telling stories of how he 'Destroyed that one peragrine falcon!' or 'Took on that flock of 5 birds all on his own.' Basicaly, he tells lies to get people to think of him in a higher manner. Of course, it never works.

All cockiness out of the way, Aarav really is a smart bird. He thinks through every decision he makes, and has been known to show wisdom far beyond his seasons. However much he says he is, Aarav is not a fighter and never will be. When confronted with a battle, he will merely freeze up and take a beating. Many birds think this is because he is just a wimp, but he really does have a soft spot for all birds, and he truly does someday wish to bring peace between Ithila and Anore.

History: Aarav has lived a fairly charmed life, out of danger. Born in an abandoned crevice in Redgrove, he was supposedly abandoned by his parents, and he never knew who they were. He was the only chick in the crevice, and was found by some hawks of Ithila, who quickly saw his eye colour and took him in to Cedargrove. From then on, his life was lived regularly. He was seen as a spectacular flier, and could be a wonderful messenger after training, thanks to his speed.

OOC Name: Peanut, Nutty, Marcus if you go on a first name basis, or if you come up with a kick ass nickname for me, feel free to use that.

Only a few things really
-change your display name to 'Aarav' so that it matches your profile
-I'm guessing you were on the last EC where birds could have differently coloured feathers. That feature isn't in this version of EC though so you'll have to change his colours back to normal. His eye colour is fine though
-Finally, in your history you say he was 'Born in an abandoned crevice in Redgrove'. Do you mean Cedargrove?

Get those fixed up and I think you'll be good to go ^^

Thanks for your clarification, I meant Redgorge when I was typing the history. The blue feather colouration, however, is actually one of Long-eared owls, but is quite uncommen.

If it's still unacceptable, I'll be quick to change it to an alternate colouring I had in my mind earlier~!

Cheers!

I'm sorry but none of the bird guides in my house or on the internet say anything about blue long-eared owls so you'll have to change his color to the other you were thinking about. I think that picture was tinted since the posts are blue-green if you were basing his color off that photo. :/
