Odelia has a unique look about her. She stands at an average 5'8" and has a muscular frame. She's skinny due to the amount she exercises. She enjoys changing her appearance often.

She has a strong moral compass—even though nothing is ever black and white—and will refuse to do something in her conscious tells her not to.

Keiran Vaughn
Nighthawk
Age [22]
Common Nighthawk
(Chordeiles minor)​

Keiran is a recent applicant of the Aviary. Before he found the flyer he was listless in life. With no real goals or drive, he was just existing. He saw one of the flyers and something just clicked. 'Why Not'

Though he knew little of The Aviary he was familiar with a few other guilds. Though at the time he had little to no interest in them. The words of a close friend of his that were still fresh in his mind rang out at the thought of this oddly bird centric guild.

"K, what you lack my friend is ambition. Dude, you're like a bird. You only fly away. Like you don’t know where your soul is man. Find your soul bro."

Keiran has heard this for most of his life. He has never been driven, contempt hanging out with his family and friends. Though he as never excelled at acedemics, sports, or magic he found that he enjoyed art.

He may never win any contest or book any galleries but it is what he likes. It may be his fondness for art that lead to his proficiency in wards and runes of abjuration.

There are other schools of magic but abjuration came as natural as putting charcoal to paper. Maybe it is his way of keeping things as they are and the rest of the world away.
lol-Hello Dark Mode users
Keiran is a kind and steadfast young man. Though he is often described as cold by those who don't know him well, in truth he is just nonchalant if not a bit dispassionate. Sure it might take some time for him to warm up to others but once you become close it becomes clear that he is a caring individual.

Spells

• Warding Rune of Obstruction
• Warding Circle of Abjuration

• 
  Drawing this rune upon a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other entryway causes it to act as if it is locked. This Rune holds until it is destroyed by enough brute force or appropriate magic countering spells.
  
• 
  Once the circle is complete all within its boundary are protected from attacks or harmful spells. The circle holds until it is destroyed by enough brute force or appropriate magic countering spells. The spell will also end if the circle is broken from within.

[/div][/div][/div] [/div] [div class="box22 hidden"]

[div class=taggies]APPEARANCE.

[div class=taggies]

Nasir stands at a towering 6'4. He's a burly guy but has more of a 'dad bod' rather than a six-pack. He has a thick head of black hair that already has streaks of gray. He also has a beard with similar streaks of gray. His features are striking—with light hazel eyes, a prominent scar on his cheek and a strong brow and cupid's bow. He has one or two piecings in each of his ears. His style consists of business casual; slacks and a sweater are what he usually wears unless he's out in the field. There, he tends to wear the uniform issued by the other magisters.

[/div][/div] [/div] [div class="box23 hidden"]

[div class=taggies]PERSONALITY

[div class=taggies]

Although Nasir can be intimidating, he's actually very loving. He dotes on his niece—in and out of the office—and has a habit of acting overprotective over the younger members. He has a natural paternal air that he uses to his advantage on occasion. When it comes to apprehending someone misusing magic, he's no nonsense about it. It's the only time his peers ever see him act serious. Otherwise, he's just a nice guy who loves his job and the people he works with.

[div class=taggies]ABILITY & BACKSTORY

[div class=taggies]shadow entrapment.

ability to accumulate shadows at will and force objects into imprisonment within the shadows

[div class=taggies]

Nasir was the first-born son to a loving family. His childhood was standard. When he turned seven, his little brother was born. The two were inseparable all throughout their adolescence. It was rare for one to be seen seen without the other. When Nasir turned nineteen, he was approached by an older woman who was interested in him being apart of a guild she was creating. He was hesitant at first but after learning about how kind and generous the woman was, he agreed. He was one of the first members of the Aviary and wore it like a badge of pride. A week before he turned twenty-six, he learned his brother had gotten sick. His younger sibling had recently had a baby and her mother had chosen to leave the picture. In only a few months, his brother was gone and he was left as the guardian of his baby niece, Odelia.

[div class=taggies][/div] He didn't know one thing about raising her but he still did his best. It was hard balancing raising a young girl and keeping his job. As the years passed and Odelia grew, Nasir slowly began to rise through the ranks. He would often bring his niece with him to work, aware of how fantastical the environment could be. He wasn't surprised when after Odelia graduated, she also joined the Aviary. He tries to not show his bias towards her while they're working but sometimes, he slips up and ends up babying her.

Sexuality: Straight

in depth

Personality: Orlena was named 'innocence' for a reason. She has a heart of pure gold, her intentions untainted by selfishness or greed, and she wants to help anyone and everyone that she can. Orlena is devoted to her friends and family, and has a somewhat.. holy air about her. She is unselfish, un-judgemental, always has a level head and never overly emotional. Her moral compass is strong, and she is an incredible empath.

She's never had a sip of alcohol, a puff of a cigarette or a sip of coffee in her life. Her mind must always be clear and she doesn't want it clouded by any sort of substance, including caffeine. If there's fighting between people in her life, she will step in and try to act as a mediator even though it ends up biting her in the ass. Orlena is quick to forgive and forget, giving everyone she meets an infinite amount of chances for redemption no matter their crime or trespass against her. Sometimes she has a hard time picking up on sarcasm, and she has a hard time lying to people even if it's to protect them.

Vices: Excessive video game playing, ignoring others outright when upset, wandering

Virtues: Honest, loyal, kind, unselfish

Likes: Video games, seafood, running, flying, traveling

Dislikes: Mind-altering substances, conflict, liars

Abilities: Flight, the ability to find almost any lost item.

[/div] [div class="tabsContent tabsContentCrucial" style="display: none;"]

history

Bio: Orlena was born via artificial insemination to a single mother who was a political activist and author in Australia. She was very well loved and grew up in a comfortable upper-middle class lifestyle along the southern coast. She never had issues making friends, however due to her honest and loving nature, she was easily targeted for bullying although it happened rarely. Her mother is devoutly religious and she grew up going to church every Sunday, which helped to add to her moral foundation.

When she began to hit puberty was when things began to get strange. Orlena began to be able to find things she didn't know where lost- she could think of an item- any item that she had seen before- and it's location would appear in her mind as if on it's own accord. While this was strange, it wasn't the strangest habit she had been able to pick up. At night, Orlena would wake from dreams floating in mid air before slamming back down into her mattress. She began to try to learn how to levitate out of sleep, and while it took a long time, she was soon enough showing her friends and family her ability to float.. which developed into her zipping around the house and along the coast late at night to avoid being seen.

She has been caught once or twice, both times leading to her being filmed and nearly exposed if she hadn't been covered up and hiding her face so well. When she heard about the Guild, she spoke to her mother about going to stay there and try to harness her flying ability and use it for good instead of just for fun. Her mother agreed, and she was sent as an applicant.

[queanbean]

Name: Campbell "Bell" Hanslet
Age: 25
Sexuality: Pansexual

Appearance: Other than what the image shows, Bell stands at about 5'3" and is slender, but curvaceous. She would love if she had just a little more pudge around the middle, but also doesn't mind the way she is. Her eyes are big and honeycomb brown. Her tattoo covers most of her right arm and she also has one on her thigh with hopes to fill up her whole left leg one day. It's all black ink - she loves the way it contrasts with her skin tone.

Code name: Paradise
Chosen species of bird: Blue Bird-of-Paradise
Role: Applicant

Reason for joining the Aviary: She actually picked up a poster at her dead-end cafe "career" and thought she'd like to make better use of her abilities.

Personality: Bell has been to hell and back. She doesn't have time for drama and generally lives a very laid-back life. If somebody messes with her or those she cares about, however, she isn't unknown to get physical or mouth off. She is generally wary of those around her, but for those who do find themselves in her good graces, she cares immensely.

Backstory: This cafe waitress didn't come from much and, consequently, lacked that motivation in life to change it. She started young - with drugs, that is. A single cigarette at age fourteen was all it took to set off a cascade of poor decisions and subsequent consequences. After nicotine came deeper cravings and cocaine. Bell never actually finished high school, because by seventeen she had attempted to steal money from her parents to support her addictions and, being the loving and supporting parents they weren't, kicked her out of the house. She was young, scared, and in withdrawal. But, being a pretty little thing, managed somehow to find her way around. She shacked up with a guy several years her senior and called it love. In her mind, her life was good as over.

A positive pregnancy test changed it all.

Bell tried so hard to turn her life around - she enrolled in rehab and quit cigarettes cold turkey. She got a job and got as far away from her past life as possible. Of course, it wasn't enough. Not for her, nor the baby, and she lost it. As dark as it sounds, that was the slap from reality she needed to move forward. The next few years were tough, but better. She celebrated being certified clean with a late shift at a corner cafe and trudged home to her creaky apartment with the mold and the neighbors that were always so loud. She thought to herself, "This can't be it... not after how hard I've worked..." For a while, it was. But, eventually, somebody brought in a stack of posters for the Aviary Guild. And that was that.

Abilities: Her specialty lies in illusions - masking, confusing, distracting. She is able to conjure up images of all sorts and use it to enhance the abilities of others or to intimidate.

Other: Bell is good friends with Dawnelise, who plays live at the cafe once in a while. She picked up two fliers and passed one on to the girl she knew would be up for it.

Dawnelise 'Dawn' Duval
Age - 24
Blue Mockingbird
(Melanotis caerulescens)​

Code name: Mockingjay

Sexuality: Pansexual

Appearance: Dawn is pretty tall standing at 5'7. She has a slender modelesque figure. Her most disgusting feature is her small case of vitiligo on her face. Her clothing style contains neutral tones with a pop of bright color, often accenting her blue hair, heavily influenced by modern French and African clothing.

Role: Applicant

Reason for joining the Aviary: Being a freelance musician isn't the most stable job and Dawnelise was looking for something more stable. A friend actually found one of their posters and showed it to her. She decided to apply.

Personality: Dawn is a relatively pleasant person when she isn't being a sarcastic smartass. She's a level headed person but is low key passive-aggressive. Dawn is the type of person to find organization in chaos. She's is extremely unorganized in her daily life, but claims she 'has a system.' However, she does a 180 when regarding her work. She takes her job seriously, even maybe a little too seriously sometimes.

Backstory: Dawn was born in Bordeaux, France raised by her single father and his brother, her uncle. She didn't have an easy childhood, being part of the lower middle class. She started her singing 'career' at the age of 10 when she would go to a street corner near her house and sing for tips. She did this for 5 years, learning guitar during that time as well, which was gifted to her by her uncle. Her father moved to America with a work permit and they stayed with his sister and her wife. Dawnelise knew some English at the time, but not much, which was a complication when school arose. She was put in specialized classes due to her lack of English. It wasn't until the end after she graduated that she knew enough English for the ability to function properly in American society. This is about the time she became a freelance musician. It started off pretty rough, but it got better. However, it didn't get good enough. It still was pretty unstable and Dawn had to be wary of what she spent her money on. She needed to fit a stable job, and soon. That's when she found The Aviary.

Abilities: Mimicry - Dawnelise can replicate the voice of anyone or any sound she has heard before.

Other: Has a french accent, don't touch her guitar unless you have a death wish

[div class=basicscontainer][div class=basics][div class=subtitle]full name[/div] Victoria LeMay

[div class=subtitle]code name[/div] White-Tail

[div class=subtitle]age[/div] 22

[div class=subtitle]gender[/div] female

[div class=subtitle]role[/div] newer member

[div class=subtitle]reason for joining the Aviary[/div]
It was either to be trapped in an unfulfilling married to a rich man and live as his baby making machine or to be her own independent person, I think you know which one got the vote.

[div class=subtitle]chosen species of bird[/div]
White-Tailed Ptarmigan / Lagopus leucura

[div class=subtitle]appearance[/div]
Standing at a mighty 5’5, Victoria has a deceptive figure that makes her appear a bit taller then she actually is, resembling that of a ballerina’s. Her features stand out like paint on a white canvas- lips being a deep bloody red and her eyes glow a golden sheen. Her ashy blond hair meets at her tailbone but is often tied half up to keep out of the way.

[/div][/div][div class=header1]basics and such[/div]
[div class=textcontainer][div class=pages][div class=subtitle]personality[/div]
In the beginning Victoria was known to be rather coy and hard to talk to, often being unable to hold conversations since she didn't speak unless spoken to. There was an air around her that almost made her appear as if she was too good for other people's presents. To simply put it, she seemed as though she was acting too hard to be perfect and composed in the eyes of others. She would purposefully detach herself from people and was untrusting of others due to her belief that people only do things with ill intent which was rooted in her upbringing. It was hard for her to be herself upon joining the guide since it was evident that she didn't even know how she was supposed to act.

While it took some time, she has opened up a bit whilst being in the guild. Victoria appears as if she's able to completely trust people now and has even developed a better grasp of social skills, but it can't be helped that she continues to seem standoffish when people try to pry into her past. From an outside perspective, Victoria seems to be a kind and gentle girl who only wishes the best for others, putting herself before others and willing to sacrifice her time and energy to please someone else. Upon meeting her, she'll make it appear as those she's known you for a long time and will welcome new people with open arms.

[div class=subtitle]history[/div]
Victoria was the only child from a well off family who had already established her future for her from infancy. Although living a privileged life that consisted of marrying a rich, boring man and growing a family with little "mini me's" running around was tempting for some time, it simply was too dull for her to wait around for. Something compelled her to look towards something beyond her existing roadmap. Instead she yearned for something with a bit more significance, she wanted to live a meaningful life. Perhaps the life that was predetermined for her would suit someone else, but the itch to live with her own ideals and thoughts was too great to ignore.

While her life was nothing to complain about, she grew up doing things that she was told to do or doing things that made others happy such as learning to play the piano and ballet, or learning the mannerisms of a proper lady, or only speaking when spoken to. She was submissive to her whims of others, especially to the whims of her parents. It was fun to play dress up and go to fancy events but the pressure to be perfect to keep the family name's nobility was absolutely exhausting to say the least.

Eventually, at the ripe age of 16, she left her house with nothing more then a small backpack with one change of clothes and a photo. The year after she left her household was a very dark year for her, a year which consisted calling the red light district her new home, something that she solemnly speaks about. Somehow, after hitting rock bottom, she found herself at the doorstep of the Aviary and decided to join on a whim. What else could she lose?

[div class=subtitle]abilites[/div]
Hiding in Plain Sight - Victoria is able to manipulate things or people, including herself, into hiddenness. Although there are limits to what she is able to hide, this ability allows her to be able to trick the eyes into believe something that is present is not present such as people or weapons.

Dimensional Storage - Like having a personal mule on hand at all times that carries her things for her, Victoria is able to access another dimension that is able to store anything nonliving. She mostly carries weapons in this dimension, from something as small as needles to her largest weapon being a scythe which is rarely used.

[Nautical Twilight]

Name: Ryan Redwood
Age: 23
Sexuality: Straight
Code name: Moon-eye
Chosen species of bird: Great Gray Owl

Role: Applicant

Reason for joining the Aviary: Ryan never really found his vocation in life. Every job he's had was felt too unfulfilling to him. He wasn't made to sell bread, or wash cars, nor be a doctor. So, when he found out about The Aviary accepting applications and decided to join.

Appearance:

Personality: Ryan is not a talker. Like most everyone, he likes to be in company of other people but sometimes he can come off as cold. He is quite stern and rather serious but he has his moments- particularly when drunk- in which his sterness fades away and is replaced by a relatively normal, and slightly emotional guy.

Despite this, he considers himself a pragmatism, guiding himself by logic and not by heart- but he can struggle quite a bit with moral choices.

He also likes to read, and whenever he's not doing something he will take out a book a begin reading. He particularly enjoys Tolkien's works.

Backstory: Ryan grew up in a lower middle-class household. Not long after he was born, his mother was struck by disease and hospitalized, which resulted in his father having to work overtime to mantain both him and his mother; thankfully he had no siblings, but the need for money caused his father to be away for extended periods of time, with him being taken care of by his grandmother.

Ryan at first was a normal- if rather noxious- child. However, he slowly grew more reserved with time. He enjoyed reading his grandmother's old book collection, and despite all the flaws in his life, he was quite content. His father would visit from time to timr, and his mother was still stable.

This, however, changed when his grandmother didn't wake up one day. She passed away during the night, and Ryan didn't take it well. When his mother took the notice her condition worsened, which caused his father to need to work even more for her health. Ryan was old enough to take care of himself by then, but alone, hr slowly grew more and more stern.

Now he's looking for a job that would appeal to him, so that he may aid his father with taking care of his still hospitalized mother.

Abilities: Lightshaping: Ryan can shape light into solid objects. From keys to rings, to simple weapons, solified light is very crystal-like- brittle, but very sharp. He can also telekinetically control his creations for a second after creating them, but only a second. After that, the light is too solid to be successfully controlled.

Night-eye: He also can see very clearly in the dark, with his eyes glowing in it just like an owl's. The problem is that he can't control this ability, and the shine of his eyes can cause him to be easily discovered.

 

[Ayama]

• Shun
• Leigh
• Milo

• 
  
  Name: Amano Shun
  Age: Nineteen
  Orientation: Unexplored
  
  Code name: Fisher
  Chosen species of bird: Grey Kingfisher
  
  Role: Applicant
  Reason for joining the Aviary: As a magic user, Shun believes it to be her duty to learn control and mastery of her abilities, as well as to use her powers to help people.
  
  Appearance:
  At 5'9 and 135lbs, Shun is built like a runner. Long, lanky, and somewhat stretched-looking, she has pale blue eyes and black hair (which is dyed a dark blue).
  
  Personality:
  Shun is a rather timid person, humble and self-effacing. She has a tendency to lack confidence in herself relative to others, but will trust her skills if she's on her own. She wants to make friends and be part of a group, but often feels awkward doing so. Relatively quiet, she tends to be more of an observer and listener than an active participant, but will always give her honest opinion when asked for it.
  
  Backstory:
  Shun was actually raised in a group home, because her parents died in an accident when she was very small, and her only other living relatives are quite distant. It wasn't the worst place for a kid to grow up- the matrons were kind and the other kids were sort of like an extended family (she towered over all of them by age twelve). She joined the track team in high-school, becoming one of their star runners as well as keeping up her grades (especially in science courses, which she enjoyed). She worked part-time for a year before joining the Aviary.
  
  Abilities:
  Aerokinesis- This ability allows her to manipulate small air currents, using them to move objects and people. It also lets her walk, run and jump on air.
  Teleportation- This ability allows her to transport herself or other people from one place to another instantaneously (though with some restrictions).

  Name: Leigh Darrington
  Age: Twenty-Eight
  Orientation: Homoflexible
  
  Code name: Harrier
  Chosen species of bird: Western Marsh Harrier
  
  Role: Older Member
  Reason for joining the Aviary: Joining a guild seemed like the best and fastest way for him to master his abilities to their fullest extent.
  
  Appearance:
  At 5'8 and 132lbs, Leigh is on the shorter side for a guy. His slim figure, long hair, striking eyes and cupid's bow lips complete the somewhat feminine picture.
  
  Personality:
  Leigh is a rather aggressive and abrasive individual. In total contrast to his looks (and reinforced by the fact that he's constantly being judged by them) he is loud, opinionated, and completely unapologetic. He cares little about tact, delicacy, or hurting people's feelings and has a policy of 'telling it like it is'. If you can get past his rough demeanor, he's a generous and kind soul with a lot to offer.
  
  Backstory:
  Leigh was born and raised in the UK, to an upper middle class family, in a London townhouse. He wanted for nothing growing up but, as the eldest (he has a younger brother as well), his parents placed certain expectations on him, such as marrying well and taking over the family business. Which he put up with until he was twenty and then, deciding he'd had enough, left and moved to the US. He hasn't spoken to his parents in years, though he keeps in touch with his brother. He worked odd jobs in several sectors before joining the Aviary at age twenty-three.
  
  Abilities:
  Mana Concentration- As its name suggests, this ability allows him to concentrate mana within his body, usually resulting in increased strength and resilience.
  Enhanced Reflexes- Combined with the former, this results in lightning-fast reflexes and movement/reaction speeds of approximately thrice the average.

• 
  
  Name: Milo Santaniello
  Age: Thirty
  Orientation: Aro/Ace
  
  Code name: The Crow
  Chosen species of bird: Crow
  
  Role: Magister
  Reason for joining the Aviary: Milo is determined to use his power for the greater good, which prompted him to join a Guild when he was 14.
  
  Appearance:
  Though of average height, Milo is on the scrawnier side, clearly not built to be remotely athletic. His glasses, pale skin, dark hair and dark eyes are indicative of someone who spends the vast majority of their time indoors and away from sunlight.
  
  Personality:
  Milo is, it must be said, a bit of a weirdo. A dramatic kid who grew up doing theatre, he seems to almost always be playing some kind of character in a scene, and as a result is basically all over the map- taciturn, expressive, intense, or full-ham; he does it all. His true self is difficult to identify and pin down under all that, but in truth he's sensitive and he has genuine concern for the other members of the Aviary and the world at large.
  
  Backstory:
  Milo was actually born and raised in the Aviary, as his parents are founding members of the guild (though they have since retired). A bright, precocious child, he began acting in plays when he was six years old. He loved the feeling of putting himself in a different person's shoes, and excelled on stage. His powers he mastered with more difficulty, spending years seeing only confusing, blurry images he could make no sense of until after the fact and becoming increasingly frustrated with himself. With help and guidance from Nasir, he was finally able to get in tune with his powers and see things clearly, and has since become invaluable to the guild's function.
  
  Abilities:
  Claircognizance- This ability allows him to have knowledge about people and events both near and far happening in the present.
  Clairvoyance- This ability allows him to see future events or possible outcome of events (though with certain limitations).

[/div] [/div] [div class=name]penguin[/div] [div class=textcontainer][div class=text] Name: Crystal 'Crys' Smyth

Age: 20

Sexuality: Asexual

Codename: Ice

Chosen Species of bird: Emperor Penguin

Role: Apprentice

Reason for joining the Aviary: Decided that a mediocre life as a student wasn't where she wanted to be. Even though she was doing quite well in school, she felt her talents were better suited elsewhere.

Appearance:
Hair: Black, rather straight and falls to the middle of her back.
Eyes: Dark brown, nearly black in appearance. Can seem unsettling and cold at times.
Skin: Quite pale, she doesn't seem to appear to enjoy the sunlight, but her cheeks have a natural rosiness.
Build: Rather boyish, slim. Perhaps borderline "too skinny".
Scars: No significant ones to note, but there are numerous ones caused by pets, and skinned knees and elbows from sports.
Piercings: Lobes, snowflake studs in silver, one in each ear. Secretly desires a nose piercing.
Tattoos: A small, nickle-sized black snowflake behind her left ear.

Personality: Logistician ISTJ-T
Honest: Telling the truth is the most important thing, even if it hurts someone.
Dutiful: Slacking is not an option. If something must be done, she does everything she can to make it happen.
Responsible: Crystal keeps her promises, and is quite the workaholic.
Calm: The girl can keep a cool head in most, if not all, situations. She definitely works well under pressure.
Structured: Being organized is key to make everything flow smoothly. Everyone needs to know what to do in order to do it.
Skilled: Crys can learn quite quickly, making her very well rounded.
Stubborn: Set in her ways, Crystal is often unable to adapt to new cogs in the wheel.
Insensitive: This one goes with her honesty. Does your butt look fat in those jeans? Don't ask her.
Follows Rules: If there's a rule, it's there for a reason. Bending rules is super offensive.
Judgmental: She tends to look down upon those who turn their nose up to facts in favor for fiction.
Self-blames: If something goes wrong, she will most likely immediately think it was something she did, and will run through the entire process until she can figure out where she went wrong.
Introverted: She'd sooner make friends with a book than a person. Lots of gentle ice breaking is needed to get through her tough shell.

Backstory: Crystal was born and raised in New York City, but she was moved around often due to her parents work, she the concept of friends didn't really reach her. They would often travel far to the north by the Adirondack mountains. Because her parents were artists, so they often frequented the small town Saranac Lake for artist crawls. But unlike her parents, Crystal was hardly artistic and preferred to read rather than interact with other people let alone pick up a paint brush. Her parents never understood why. She was shy, so having her parents thrust her at other children generally just gave her anxiety and made her angry. They would only move on so it wasn't like she could actually make any real friends. This generally lead to a lot of arguments as to why their child was so self-absorbed when all they tried to do was get her to interact with people and find the artistic side of life. So it was no surprise that when she was 18, she promptly moved out across the country to study in California. No more frustration. By now, she was well aware of her powers and tried to hide them, because they were completely and utterly useless to her. So she could keep her drinks cold when she was studying, hurray? It wasn't until she realized not only could she keep water cold, she could also move it with her mind. It was during this time she was visiting a major city where there were flyers posted around about some guild called the Aviary. They were calling for applicants who knew magic. It was a split decision that she made to abandon school, as getting a job as a teacher meant long hours and...to be honest, she didn't really like kids. To be able to do something with her magic, well...that seemed like a much better deal.

Abilities:
Water Manipulation: Water must be present in some way; a cup, a bowl, a vase, a puddle, etc. She can move it with her mind, but if she uses her hands to direct, she has more control.
Limited Temperature Control: She can freeze and unfreeze water at will. She cannot, however, heat up or boil said water.

He tends to dress fairly casually, without a distinctive style in mind, his flute tucked into one pocket.[/div] [/div][/div] [div class="textbox boxTwo"][div style="font-weight:700;font-size:30px;color:#CC8192;font-family:serif;text-align:center"]personality[/div] [div style=padding:20px]Nico does his best to present himself as an eminently likable person. Earnest, polite, gets the job done with minimum fuss. So carefully avoiding an air of superiority he occasionally loops right back round to quiet smugness. Always there when you need a hand. Still always there when you don't.

Nico's an organizer at heart, more than a little fussy, although you'll never hear him admit it. He's meticulous in everything he does, and while he might smile and agree with everyone and is conscientious to a fault when it comes to discharging his duties he rarely actually takes other people's advice. He isn't easily angered and rarely shows dissatisfaction, which people tend to mistake for an easygoing nature, but he holds his grudges for a long long time and won't rest until the debt is paid whether for good or for ill.

Tending to forgive others for their mistakes, Nico gets what can only be called tetchy when he makes mistakes, and even more irritated when other people point them out. Subscriber to the measure twice, cut once methodology, Nicolai has a very formulaic approach to problems, and manages to be perpetually surprised at failures no matter how often they come. He's not very good at improvising on the spot, and generally relies on others to pull him out of a tight spot.

He goes out for morning runs, likes watching soccer but doesn't actually play sports himself. He is learning about the world of old texts/illuminated manuscripts, collects copies and when he finds one would love to own an actual manuscript. An enthusiastic reader of poetry and plays.

Nico's mother was a entomologist, more often away somewhere than at home with her sons. Nico's father was the primary overseer of his childhood, always ready to patch his more boisterous sibling's perpetually grazed knees. While his older brother was the loud, competitive one, Nico strove for perfection in his own, quiet, controlled way, yet always a step behind.

His parents separated when he was in high school, a civilized, if chilly affair that nevertheless left Nico wondering if he'd done something untoward. He noted the absence of his mother vaguely, the gap that was always present in family photos a little more keenly felt now, but it had always been his father he counted on, and it was his brother, who loved the little things his mother would bring back for him, and would yearn constantly for the world outside their little upper-middle class suburb, that felt the loss the most.

The family of three struggled on. They moved to a slightly smaller apartment, still plenty of space but no longer with a spare room for the work an entomologist inevitably brought back with her. Nico completed his secondary education at a different, larger school, while his brother attended university overseas. Then one year, instead of coming back for the break, Nico's brother sent back a letter, saying he'd been offered a promising position and wouldn't be able to make it home this Christmas.

Nico continued on his path doggedly, but more determined to do the right thing, instead of just doing what was expected, and after he completed his education, still living with his father, he found the Aviary. He's been working for the guild for some while now, and he still drops in on his dad regularly on the weekends.

It works best if he chooses as singular person as the primary recipient of this effect, and if he directs his song at multiple people the they tend to more easily resist the urge to divert their attention, although everyone who hears the tune tends to be a little influenced. The louder he is in his song, the stronger the effects. The effects tend to linger in his voice for some time afterwards, causing him to attract some rather strange looks.

Ausar Mostafa
African Sacred Ibis​

Code Name: Thoth

Age: 23

Sexuality: Asexual

Newer Member

Appearance: Stands at a solid 5'11. Has instillted manners of keeping his back straight and his emotions in check, giving off a calm and cool appearance. Eyes are an usual shade of orange due to his ability. His outfit is notably always well-kept, and his hair is given similar pristine treatment (which similarly falls just past his neck.)

Personality: Ausar holds everybody around him to high standards. Some people would like to think he's just overbearing, or full of himself. In reality, despite the cyncism ingrained rooted deep inside of him, Ausar just believes everybody can be better. And though this can lead to occasional cold or critical comments, Ausar is harshest to himself most of all. He's the type to place results over methods; to claim that life is harsh, and yet to still strive towards a happy ending anyways.

Reason For Joining Aviary: Claims to be doing it only because it's the best use for his ability. In reality, it's actually out of the hope he could find direction for his ideals, and to make him a better person.

Backstory: His story is not beautiful. It is not unique, and it is not particularly special. Ausar is only one of the hundreds, of the thousands from his home country Egypt. A country idolized for it's history and fawned over for it's landmarks. Egypt was not that ancient society the people knew it for, and Egypt wasn't the land full of rich history people wished it was. It would be an over-exaggeration to paint Egypt as some dystopia, because for all of it's problems it was not the worst. It was not a living hell, and it was not unbearable.

It was just that his particular hometown could be better. Ausar thought this every day, seeing the conditions around him. Every time he saw trash piling on the streets, from the once beautiful Nile to around the corner of his house, these thoughts rang out. Every time a man would harass a woman and be able to get off scot-free, the thought returned. Every time he saw an act of greed, pushing and scheming for just a single pound. Every time, it was all he could think. "Can't we be better? Is this really all we're destined to do?" So as he grew up, he began to distance himself from it. Not because Ausar was simply repulsed, or that he thought himself above those around him—it was because he was scared. Scared that this was all life had to offer to him. Scared that there was nothing else out there. That this was his final fate.

That was, unless, he were to go out and search for more. And so, after graduating as one of the top at his school, he left home. Saying his goodbye to his parents, saying goodbye to the hometown and country he grew up in. Because for all of it's problems, it was still the home he loved in spite of them. Just the home that could be better. Moving to America, Ausar would begin to expand his horizons, looking for a sign—anything that would let him simply change. Life delivered, finding a flyer in a city while he vagranted from place to place. The poster was simple and sweet. "The Aviary".

Maybe here, if anywhere else, this would be where Ausar would find what he was looking for.

Abilities: Heat Absorption - Ausar can build up heat from external sources (though he typically uses the sun as it is the most readily available, this also extends to fire and other sources) and store it inside of himself. He can let this heat out from any part of his body, but he prefers to use his hands. The intensity of the heat being let out can be controlled at will, but higher temperatures use up more heat. Using too much at once will make him overheat, which can lead to heat stroke if he's not careful.

Other: Speaks with a Egyptian accent. See here for his full picture.

Not at all a hotheaded character, Rome is cunning, calculating, and will do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal regardless of the risk. • Self-indulgent - While he does participate regularly in the subjects he cares about, Rome is true to himself and does whatever he pleases at all other hours of the day. Whether that means an extra hour of sleep on a weekday or a cheeky smirk and wink sent in the direction of a stranger he finds attractive, the man is surprisingly shameless given his demeanor. • Deceitful - Rome is an expert at lying through his teeth without an ounce of hesitation, to the point where he can almost convince himself that he's speaking the truth. His infallible poker face and monotonous voice play key roles in maintaining this skill. • Selfish - To put it in simple terms, whatever Rome wants, Rome will get. No one else has any say in the matter. • Moody - It doesn't take much to annoy the blood mage, especially on days he's already in a bad mood. One comment heard in passing can flip the switch in Rome's brain, turning a peaceful state of mind into an extremely sour one. [div class=tag]virtues[/div] • Perspicacious - Though he comes off as lethargic to many, a second glance reveals that Rome has a rather shrewd eyesight. Aware and attentive to his surroundings, he's a difficult one to fool. Beyond the physical sense, he also tends to offer keen insight and good judgment of character. • Self-controlled - Rome is a cool-headed master at managing his own actions, feelings, and emotions and will almost never act out of sheer impulse. Though this would appear to counteract his regular acts of self-indulgence, he never had any intentions of holding back on those in the first place. • Driven/Focused - Once he has a goal in mind, there is no deterring Rome from reaching it. He will work however hard he has to in order to get what he wants, even if it crosses ethical lines that shouldn't be crossed. • Empathetic - Due to his proficiency in blood magic, Rome is extremely empathetic to the sensitivities of others. This is often the only thing that keeps him grounded when his drive to do whatever he wants takes the wheel, reminding him of the importance of being considerate to those around him. • Courteous/Respectful - Having grown up surrounded only by older women, Rome is very polite and cordial, though he could never be considered talkative. [div class=tag]neutral traits[/div] • Promiscuous - Rome is rather popular with the ladies, a surprising fact given his reserved nature. Considered handsome among his old classmates and well-known due to his generally likable nature, he never has to look far if he feels particularly welcoming. • Secretive - He's an enigma, through and through. Rome has made very few people permanent fixtures in his life. • Soft-spoken - Outside of combat, Rome can count the number of times he's raised his voice on his fingers. He detests unnecessary yelling and finds it obnoxious, especially since people of his bloodline tends to speak quieter than the rest of the world. [div class=tag]quirks[/div] To the untrained eye, Rome seems as put together as any young adult could be in this otherworldly society. In his daily affairs, he maintains a practiced composure and doesn't let anything go unaccounted for. Underneath it all, however, the blood mage may not be entirely all there. If he is put under a great deal of stress when he is already emotionally vulnerable, the cracks begin to show. His eyes regain the wicked glint of hatred that had become a regular fixture during his time in prison, and the power in his magic spikes with adrenaline. When practicing blood magic, Rome's state of mind becomes far more risk-prone, sacrificing his level-headed approach to challenges in favor of bold, aggressive displays of destructive energy.

He also quite enjoys taking on apprentices and teaching them the workings of a respectable mage. Rome also wished to be in law enforcement at one point, and protecting the people in his guild is about as close as he believes he can get. [div class=tag]history[/div] Rome and his four older sisters were raised by his parents in the outskirts of Birmingham, England, by his deeply loving mother and alcoholic father. The family lived in poverty for quite a while, only surviving off of whatever funds they could hide from their dad's daily alcohol purchases. Rome didn't grow up realizing that his powers were normal, his mother insisting that he keep them hidden from his father for fear of the man killing his own son out of hatred. When he was 13, however, his father got hit by a semi and died instantly, leaving behind a struggling family with no money but a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. With his father out of the picture, Rome's mother let him in on her secret: she had magical abilities as well, though she hadn't used them in ages. Her shadow magic had manifested itself in Rome as well, though he suspected the source of his blood magic came from further up her bloodline. With this revelation, he began fully expanding on his powers and training vigorously to master them, all the while keeping them hidden from his sisters who had no idea about this aspect of their family. After graduating from university with a degree in actuarial science, Rome found himself in hot water after he was framed for assaulting a former high school classmate who had been injured terribly and couldn't remember a thing. The case had no relevance to him, yet his DNA appeared all over the scene. For this anomalous incident, Rome spent two long years in HMP Birmingham, where he had nothing to do except experiment with his powers. It was in this sealed prison environment that he discovered his ability to draw runes with blood, and nearly got himself killed in the process. He hasn't learned too much about that part of his magic out of fear for his life, but the select few emblems that manifested themselves in dreams have proven useful in dire situations.

If there is no fresh blood in the vicinity, Rome can create a cut on his own skin and use the resulting wound as a supply while regenerating the blood cells in his body. This method, however, causes severe physical strain if used for extreme purposes, as the loss rate will exceed the regeneration rate. • An alternative to using exposed blood, Rome can manipulate the blood within the bodies of others to an extremely limited extent. He cannot create or destroy the blood cell count in others, but he can will it to rush to certain areas of the body. For example, he may reverse the flow of blood to cause unconsciousness in a target. This usage of his power is far more taxing on his health, as it involves working through the barrier of flesh, and drains his energy after a mere couple of uses. • The final method of wielding blood magic lies in drawing symbols with blood, and is considered to be a last resort. Using any type of liquid blood available, Rome can draw symbols that have various effects. For example, placing a destruction emblem on an object will cause it to blow up. Similarly, drawing a transformation emblem on an object will cause it to shift into a different object of equal mass. A sealing emblem will render any object unable to be opened by anyone except him. He has only discovered a few of these symbols and their effects, since the consequences of drawing upon blood magic in this way are severe and can be lethal if experimented with carelessly. Using this application of his magic even once can be enough to render him useless for the next hour, due to the sheer energy involved in using a blood rune. [div class=tag]secondary magic[/div] While Rome can wield Shadow Magic to a degree, it serves no serious purposes. In terms of abilities, he can cloud any area he occupies in near total darkness, camouflage his own presence to a small extent, and animate his own shadow to survey an area ahead of him. His shadow has a bit of an attitude when animated, but its trickery is never malicious. When Rome moves while using any of his magic, his shadow tends to stretch and bend, leaving a fluid-like trace behind him as he advances. [div class=tag]weapon of choice[/div] Rome tends to formulate a specific dagger from his own blood to use in combat, which he has named Onyx. It possesses all the same qualities as a normal dagger, despite being forged from solidified blood, and therefore requires a negligible amount of magical energy.

[RedactedReject]

Varion Augustine

Black Eagle (Ictinaetus malaiensis)

Varion Heathbrook Augustine II
"The Great Uncle"
42 | 6'7" 226lbs
Crimson Red E/C
Dark Hair
Magister
At a young age, Uncle grew to understand the importance of protecting the right to self preservation. Due to the lack of a fervent father and mother figure in his life, he was known for his stubbornness. This is seen with his various attempts of standing up for himself as a little boy, only to meet very dire circumstances as loose ends tied up for him. From his early years, all he could remember was the Aviary. Ever since he was but a boy, the older Magister's and those before him took the bastard son in and grew him like their own, failing not in showing him important values of respect, honor and humility.

Now, Mr. Augustine, or lovingly referred to as "Old Man" or "Uncle" by appropriate younger staff, he serves as a watchful, observant and kind mentor to many of the newer members of the Aviary, serving as a Magister for the establishment that he has learned to uphold and love. Standing at a looming 6'7", he is often seen wearing a long wool cloak that reaches down to his ankles, the black clothing brings out the vibrancy of the red jewels of eyes that he bears. To this day he tends to not mention a lot about his childhood and upbringing, and prefers to focus on the development of the future Aviary applicants.
Abilities:
-Ability to summon and utilize swarms of Black Eagles, as well as limited flight.
-Ability to see through a birds eye view of anything within a 500ft radius, must be stationary to use.

 

[Noivian]

Name: Aria Bellamy
Age: 23
Sexuality: Bi
Code name: Liar (as in, lyre)
Chosen species of bird: Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae)

Role: Applicant

Reason for joining the Aviary: Figured that joining the Aviary was better than living a life of crime or imprisonment.

Personality: Aria is an impulsive liar, to the point where sometimes she's not even sure if shes lying or not. But where she lacks in honesty, she makes up for in loyalty. Her respect is easy to gain, but making her an ally is more like a lifelong commitment. If you double cross her, she'll never be on your side again. This is because she'd never dream of double crossing anyone she respects. She'll do anything for you, so long as you do anything for her. Otherwise, it's a situation of who's offering the best price for her services.

Backstory: Growing up in the ghetto of a city taught Aria many things from a young age. One, true friends were few and far between, and should be held on to. Two, not everybody is as they say they are. She lived in a small apartment with her mother, and spent most of her youth swindling classmates out of their lunch money. She had a small posse to back her up when her developing silver tongue failed, but only a handful were actually there to support her - the rest simply leeched off the money she made. She was expelled from many schools, before eventually needing to be home schooled by her mother. The problem lay in the fact that her mother worked two jobs to support them, and for most of the daylight hours wasn't around to keep Aria out of trouble. The young teen took to the streets, persuading shop owners for "free samples" or other handouts that they otherwise would not give out. It wasn't long before her shoplifting crimes caught up with her, and the now adult Aria was faced with a choice: join the Aviary and contribute back to society, or spend the next ten years in prison. It was an easy choice.

Abilities:
Silver-tongued - Aria has a magical charm about her, that anything she says will be accepted as fact at face value. She says she's supposed to be here? She's supposed to be here. She says she purchased this bottle of water? She purchased this bottle of water. Strong emotions and further investigation will dispel this charm, and actually knowing the truth will diminish the amount of time one spends charmed. On top of this, the charm cannot be stacked on itself, by her saying "I'm not lying" when telling a lie.

Beastshape - Aria can temporarily assume a semi-beast form, usually limited to two limbs (a pair of wings, a pair of claws, a pair of hooves, etc.) and only for an hour at the most.

 

[Noivian]

Name: Alastair Deimos
Age: 35
Sexuality: Bi
Code name: Snow
Chosen species of bird: Snowy Owl

Role: Magister

Reason for joining the Aviary: To combat his twin brother.

Personality: Alastair is level-headed and fair. He's done his share of the legwork and can appreciate hard effort even if doesn't necessarily mean a finished job. He has a fondness for nature, and loves to explain things to anyone willing to listen. He may initially seem aloof and uninterested, but he does pay close attention to everyone he meets and does his best to remember even the small things about them that others may find unimportant. He's attentive and patient, if not a little bit competitive to top it off.

Backstory: Alastair was born the older twin, his younger twin being Octavius. From a young age, the two never really clicked together, despite being identical twins. Octavius was always cold and calculating, while Alastair was more of the soft and sensitive child. What Octavius lacked in compassion seemed to store itself entirely in Alastair, and the two constantly butted heads up through their teenage years. Abruptly, Octavius left the family home one night, and never returned. Alastair joined the Aviary initially to help look for his brother, only to discover that Octavius had joined another "guild", one that wasn't based on law but chaos and anarchy. Alastair spent his young adult years climbing the ladder, attempting harder and harder jobs in an effort to outdo his twin and eventually bring Octavius in for the crimes he and his "guild" had committed.

Abilities:
Book of Summoning - Alastair possesses a dossier of animals and creatures, one that he can add to, and can use this book to summon forth a spectral projection of any of the creatures to aid him in any way he needs. Once summoned, the creatures are tangible and solid, though ghostly in appearance, and can only be summoned for a maximum of twenty-four hours.

Celestial Weapon - Calling forth the magic within his soul, Alastair can produce a crystalline, glowing and divine weapon of malleable form. The weapon maintains its form while summoned, and must be dismissed and resummoned in order to assume a new form. Alastair can freely summon this weapon five times a day without repercussions. Any more than five times will invoke a five hour cool down period between summonings.

[div class=taggies]BACKSTORY

[div class=taggies]healing tides.

uses water to clear impurities or can even help with physical wounds.

[div class=taggies]

Jayson was born in a small village near Wales. His mother was an old friend with Sloane and wanted the woman to be his god mother. He grew up happy, enjoying being able to go to school and tend to the animals on their farm. When he was fourteen, that's when his powers emerged. He was returning back home when he ran into a fox caught in a trap. He decided to set it free but noticed the poor thing had broken its leg. Something inside him stirred and using the rain water that had collected in puddles, he healed the leg. When he returned home, he told his mother who immediately contacted Sloane.

She was fascinated with his ability and traveled to England to visit her friend and him. She stayed for a few weeks and before she left, she promised him a spot at her guild when he got older. Before he graduated, Jayson got a scholarship to study pre-med over in America in the same city the guild had been built. It was like fate, he realized. When he got to the city, he immediately contacted Sloane. She was overjoyed to hear from him and reminded him of his ability to join her. It took him a few years to get through his schooling but he eventually took her up on her offer. He now balances his work at the city hospital while also serving as a on-site doctor at the Aviary.

[LazyDaze]

For mobile users

Spoiler

Name: Kazz Lazalus
Age: 28
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Code name: Sloth
Chosen species of bird: Great Blue Heron

Role: Older member

Reason for joining the Aviary: He changes the story every time someone asks him.

Appearance:
Kazz stands at about 6' 4" however he has a very wiry frame and is almost always hunched over.

Personality:
The first thing anyone notices about Kazz, other than his height, is the fact that he always seems tired. Because of this he often lacks enthusiasm even when he is truly excited, or passionate. (It just makes his motivational speeches sound awkward) Since he always appears to be loafing about, people seem to believe his absent-minded; however...well he is absent minded when it comes to daily tasks, yet when he decides to apply that brain of his he can be unusually perceptive and even wise. Furthermore, Kazz can be a bit of a downer, often finding the downsides of most things, or envisioning the worst case scenario; however, once you make it through the pessimism and sardonic humour you will find a loyal member of the guild who considers everyone his family even if he doesn't treat them like it. Nevertheless, despite his loyalty to the guild and its members it is difficult to earn his complete respect and even more difficult to earn his trust.


Backstory: Kazz grew up fairly poor; however, his life was not all bad. He was adventurous and actually quite energetic. Since his family didn't have much, he would often go out and steal whatever he could. As one would expect, this led to an early rap sheet for a young Kazz who would often get caught by the authorities. As fate would have it, he would wind up making an unexpected friend on one of his "strolls". A girl from a rich family who was lonely since her parents were always busy. To be honest she annoyed the hell out of him at first, but she gave them free bread so all's well that ends well. As they grew older, their bond grew stronger. While Kazz slacked off, doing the same old things...he had learned that his best friend wanted to join the Aviary, or whatever the hell it was called. Of course Kazz misheard and thought it was a female clinic...he quickly paid for that misunderstanding; however, he eventually learned what it was all about....he still didn't care, but he was happy for her anyway.

Months later his lifestyle would catch up to him as he crossed a bad group of people who had begun monitoring his actions. They wound up kidnapping Emia, demanding he give himself up. Putting her safety above all else he complied and faced quick repercussionsl however, they didn't kill him. As long as they had leverage they felt they could use him. For the next year Kazz committed several crimes for the organization. He did many things he wasn't proud of; however, as long as he was successful Emia would stay alive despite them both being presumed dead. However, one mission went horribly wrong and ironically, he was captured by the Aviary. They had been monitoring the growth of the small time syndicate and had finally pinpointed their base of operations. Despite his capture, it should have been a relief; however, Emia was gravely injured during the exchange. She would never be able to walk again.

The charges against Kazz were lessened due to the circumstances; however, there was one more test awaiting him on the outside. Emia was not satisfied with her life. It wasn't living if one did not try to achieve their dreams, so she decided to try an experimental surgery for the chance to walk again. She believed she would be able to join the Aviary if it was successful. Kazz couldn't tell her not to go through with it. She would die two weeks later from complications. It was at this point that Kazz decided to join the Aviary and dedicate his life to his late bestfriend while atoning for his past.

Abilities: (Limit set to two magical abilities)
Time Dilation
All time seemingly slows down through Kazz's eyes, giving him time to perceive the inconceivable. Since he is not literally stopping the time for those around him, he does not move freely in this state; instead, he would also be perceiving himself in slow motion. However, at such a rate, reactions and actions that would normally be impossible at normal speed become viable options. Currently, he can only enter such a state for 3 seconds and it requires a 10 second cool down before reuse.

True Spear
A blue magical Aura surrounds his dominate hand (left) which allows him to easily pierce through most objects and contend with energy based attacks. He can alter it's destructive power by charging magical energy; however, he cannot move while doing so. Moreover, he can only unleash a fully charged spear twice a day. Takes 20 seconds to (charge a full powered spear) Last but not least, this ability only forms on his left hand. This can be made more lethal in combination with his time dialation.

[div class=tags]eye color and details[/div] blue eyes that often appear lighter than what they are; light blue. with a very soft gaze, she often has a very intense, yet relaxed look upon her visage due to her intense eyes and relaxed brows. her eyebrows crease when she's bothered and upset, thus intensifying her look upon friend and foe. [div class=tags]height[/div] she stops at the average height of five feet six inches (5'6"); this makes her the tallest female in her family as most of them stop between the height of four feet eleven inches (4'11") to five feet three inches (5'3") [div class=tags]weight[/div] she weighs a solid hundred and thirty eight pounds even, but none of her weight has to do with body fat. she has minimal body fat and more muscle; slender fit with a trained muscular build.

[div class=tags]∆ virtues

a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person. • [div class=tags]self-effacing

more often than not ana comes off as a very modest person in spite of how intimidatingly 'uptight' she is often perceived. her humbleness quickly correlated to timidness, by those who think they know her, although she can beg to differ. having been comfortable in how she looks naturally (all her life), ana isn't to self indulged to believe that she is every ounce of sexy and alluring. she goes by:

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.​

thus, she always responds with a "thank you," or "it's no problem," to those reward her with compliments - be it about her appearance or gracious deeds. her modesty helps draw people to her as they talk her ears off. • [div class=tags]passionate[/div] in ana's instance her passion helps her appear to be a very faithful and earnest person when she is devoted to defending her moral values, beliefs, and standards. ruffle her feathers with anything she may disagree with you about, or talk to her about things she is deeply interested in, and she will waste no time in showing you how she may feel in detail. this entices people in wondering how she may be when she does exchange amorous expressions and interactions. this also compliments her when educating those on her 'field of expertise'. she's very dedicated. • [div class=tags]vigilant[/div] due to her background and family history, anahita has learned to be watchful of dangers and difficulties. this plays in her favor because she just so happens to be a really good listener, so she gets to be watchful through the eyes of others. although, given her ability, it's practically unnecessary, but she's not as developed as those with likely skillsets. therefor, she is 'often than not' relatively easy to fool depending on the circumstance; if she's looking for something, she'll find it, or come close to finding it. if not? then she won't. • [div class=tags]∆[/div] - it is possible that there is more to be added. [div class=tags]∆ vices[/div] • [div class=tags]passionate[/div] as much as it is a virtue it is also a vice. ana's passion can also draw ugly sides of her that she's sometimes unaware of. she can be aggressive with her communication, merciless with her actions, and maybe even territorial of a lover. she has a stifling intensity about her when this happens that can either arouse or frighten man and have them quivering in their boots. is she explosive? no. her emotions rile her up like a gentle hum in her body, like a tiger in a jungle she waits before she attacks her prey. • [div class=tags]selfish[/div] though she isn't materialistic, and one does not need to be materialistic to be selfish, she does care primarily for herself. majority of her actions are willed by things that will benefit her in the long run. so though she may carry herself as a selfless person, it's only because it will benefit her in the long run; and if she wants it then she will go for it. • [div class=tags]obstinate[/div] this feeds into her passionate and selfish vices. to put it short and simple: she's stubborn and her stubbornness and pridefulness does not benefit her as much if at all. in fact, her stubbornness contradicts her selfishness at times as well. this makes her a rather complicated person when in her emotions. • [div class=tags]∆[/div] - it is possible that there is more to be added. [div class=tags]quirkies[/div] to those with little knowledge and experience ana is what you would see as a very a gentle, intuitive, and warm individual. little do people know that this only supports the regard that this makes her out to be a little overly emotional and sensitive to criticism. therefor, she finds security and safety through things she knows and is familiar with. meaning that her joining the aviary is a major step for her characteristically. given that her skillset is telekinesis, you can very easily tell that things that are out of her control, or things that are unfamiliar to her, weakens her, and seeing that life is always unfamiliar and out of one's control? she has a very rude awakening joining the aviary, to which she is purposefully looking forward to growing in this aspect. • [div class=tags]∆[/div] - it is possible that there is more to be added. [div class=tags]MBTI[/div] she is an INFJ-T type. | [div class=tags]enneagram[/div] type 8 | [div class=tags]zodiac[/div] taurus [/div][/div] [/div] [div class="content3 hidden"]

[div class=tags]history

fun fact: All unmarked mute swans on the Thames are owned by the Queen per a tradition that began in the 12th century. Inspired by this tradition, a poor Spanish family's ancestors stole two mute swans from the Thames, and have raised them and their offspring for centuries throughout in the boonies of Spain. Anahita belongs to that family, and straight out of the UK did her mother find a Spanish man to marry with a latin family name 'Olor', Swan. Angel and Anabel Olor. Both of them were seen as successful due to the fact that they actually finished University in the States, and this was after marriage, before settling down to have seven children in distant America. Anahita; a premature baby; became the youngest baby of two girls and four boys with a deceased older sister who's death still remains questionable. Traditionally, every Olor child was introduced to the idea of magic, each child typically blooming between the ages of six to ten thanks to their father's strong ancestral bloodline. Nearly all of the females, and some males, in her father's family have had water affiliated abilities, being able to bend and manipulate water, or seismic healing with water, but it wasn't until she was eleven did Ana learn that she was the late bloomer. Being the youngest, Ana got away with little special treatment even though she had lacked abilities throughout a good majority of her childhood. Feeling like the odd one out, Ana didn't necessarily know what to do. She had years of being bullied by her sisters, not so much by her brothers (they could relate), and isolated by classmates, while spending years of wondering if magic was a worthy living investment. It wasn't until Anahita had turned sixteen did she decide that being without magic was the greatest thing that could have ever happened to her. Like her brothers, she didn't have to worry about runes, or spells, or anything else out of the ordinary. However, that's when her acceptance allowed it to happen. She could remember how it all went down. How cold the night was with the smell of snow lingering in the air. It was the one time Ana felt like she was truly in control of her life. She loved how free and powerful she was, and she did as she pleased studying her science books she stole from the library, trying to teach herself how to survive on her own, how the weather works, contemplating farming, and maybe becoming a scientist of sorts. Then next thing you know, it was as if her own psychological trauma caught up with her. The girl had no hope or desire of having magic. She didn't need it. She was over it, and yet it didn't matter because life had other things in store for her. Like a lighter, her emotions were set ablaze just to learn that she had unlocked her curse gift. Now she didn't belong to a wealthy family. Her family was middle class, and their lifestyle was comfortable, but to have magic at the late age of sixteen was a hard enough affiliation to come to terms with. After returning home from her school's ski trip, scared of herself, and scared of what it all meant, Ana confessed to having abilities. Since then, she had to go through more trials and tribulations with her siblings, her parents, to try to control her emotions because she could no longer be who she thought she was. It took years of seeing a psychologist and years of meditation had to help prepare her to control an ability that responded to her emotions and desire to feel as though she had to prove herself. Eventually, her own parents approached her, allowing their daughter to make the grown enough decision to put her feelings aside and spar with them and her siblings every once in a while because at some point, should she decide to leave the nest, she would need to be able to protect herself with her magic. It wasn't until she turned twenty seven did she decide she was going to invest even more energy in shaping herself to be combat ready with her magic because by that time she was ready to be on her own, and The Aviary flyers became her venus.

[div class=tags]abilities

ana's telekinesis limits her to manipulate water [div class=tags] ¬ water

like her sisters, she can manipulate water, however her sisters runes require water to be nearby in order to use it at its advantage. for ana she is able to manipulate water on a molecular level; in her eyes water is everywhere. it is almost as if it is raining everyday, so she often has water circulating her body, or in her hair. when you see her she either has her hair drenched, or tiny orbs of water surrounding her person like an atom. ana is able to use this atmospheric water and determine how far someone is through the pulses in the air. she can only feel a mile's worth of pulses. she has not learned how to create weaponry out of water, but it is something her brother's want her to try while in The Aviary. Ana is curious about whether or not she can master healing with water. • [div class=tags]∆[/div] - she has no weapon of choice at the moment.

[div class=firstword]reason for joining the aviary.[/div] Ezarah has always been set on joining a guild. When he was younger, he imagined being sent an invitation. However, as he grew, he came to realize that his powers weren't flashy enough to be noticed. So, he settled with applying to different guilds. He had almost given up when he came across the Aviary. He was honestly shocked when his application was accepted; most would have turned him away before he could even mention applying. He continues to stay with the guild based on loyalty. He feels indebted to Sloane. (He also is unwilling to leave the friends he's made over the years.)

[div class=line][/div]
[div class=firstword]personality.[/div] Ezarah cosnsiders one of his virtues to be his dedication. He isn't subservient to his whims; when he finds something to associate himself with, he's unwilling to walk away. Some might say it's stubbornness that forces him to stick around. Still, whether it is seen as a positive or negative attribute, he's loyal. Due to how much he dedicates himself, Ezarah is not an open person. He's a reclusive creature who has a tendency to focus on himself and his own development instead of making friends. There are a selective few he would label as 'friends'. He wasn't the one to make the first contact—mostly because he couldn't be bothered. Now, however, he obliges their company and will sometimes seek them out when he feels like socializing. [/div][/div][/div][/div] [div class=content][div class="tabsContent tabsContent3" style="display:none"] [div class=titleblock]additional.[/div] [div class=infocontainer][div class=overflow] [div class=firstword]biography.[/div] Ezarah was always a loner. He was born to a single mom who was affectionate and indulgent. He can recall many childhood memories where they would spend their days together after he had come home from school, talking and laughing in the afternoon sun. He first heard about guilds on the news when he was seven. He had been glued to the screen, watching as the news caster interviewed a famous member of a prestigious guild. He was enthralled. He ran to his mother, asking her how he could get into a guild like that. She had smiled, with a melancholy look in her eye, and told him it was a difficult feat that not a lot of people were able to fulfill.

From that day onwards, he was hellbent on being part of a guild. He did all that he could when he was a teenager to warner attention. He was dedicated to improving himself and his surroundings. He was a volunteer at several medical centers, was the class president for three years at his high school, and took singing lessons to strengthen his powers. It was a disappointment when after he graduated, he failed to receive an invitation in the mail. However, when he was volunteering at a medical center, he ran into a man named Jayson. He was surprised to learn that the man had applied to join a guild. With the encouragement of the redhead, Ezarah applied to the Aviary. It took a few weeks for his application to be reviewed before he was accepted. He was overjoyed. He can remember calling his mom after arriving home to his apartment, tears in his eyes and a smile on his face.

He's been a member of the Aviary for over eight years now. He slowly worked his way from being an apprentice to an older member of the guild. He is normally stationed at the medical center in the building but he also has his own station for when he is sent on missions. He tends to be hesitant when socializing with other members.

[vibrantium]

Name: Beatrix "Blondie" Boulanger
Age: 21
Sexuality: Bi-curious
Code name: Barnum
Chosen species of bird: Barn Owl

Role: Apprentice

Reason for joining the Aviary: Practically, she is looking for an internship experience before her Law education graduation. She is also looking to use her powers for good.

Appearance: Long-haired, blonde, blue eyes, lanky. She likes to dress smart, having been to court her whole life & now finishing her studies in Law.

Personality: Introverted, keeps her cards close to her. But is able to project empathy & warmth especially to those who have gone through similar situations such as she. Perfectionist, hard-worker, strategic.

Backstory: Life has not all been rainbows & sunshine for Beatrix. She was tossed from relatives to relatives as her parents blew hot & cold with each other, resulting in their divorce. Until one day, her mother got murdered, & little Beatrix was asked to testify. And gladly did she do that. She was, after all, a silent witness to her mother's suffering & the only protector of her younger siblings. Her powers developed because she was very in-tuned with the unspoken needs of her siblings & her mother. So used was she to her father's lies & irresponsibility, all the grown-ups & their sugarcoated truths, that she's able to discern lies from truths.

She pursues a Law education so that she can rescue others from the same fate as hers. She finds her calling in the Aviary as it was the perfect marriage of justice & her supernatural abilities. She is nearing her graduation & must now apply for an internship experience, in which she selected the Aviary.

Abilities: Claircognizance (Right now, this ability is at its infancy. She is most at ease telling lies from truth. She occasionally gets "hunches"; guessing something correctly, obtaining information seemingly out of nowhere). Telepathy (Right now, this ability is also at its infancy. She is most at ease projecting & receiving mental messages to & from others).
