Avians/Aviaries

Avians/Aviaries are a race of people who follow the goddess Ava. They are known to come from a highly intelligent culture and are the keepers of the history of this world. Avians appear as humanoid with wings and have lighter bones in order to fly easier.

Worth
Avians usually have animals such as wolves, rodents, or birds as their whisps.

Avians can have any lite.

Avians tend to prefer bows and spears as keys.

Apperance
Unlike anima and draconians, aviaries only have one form. They have many different colored feathers and if they breed with any race other than draconians their offspring will be born wingless. If they breed with Draconians, they will have feathery wings but they will not be able to fly with them. Avians are weaker than most others and they tend to have small families as the women mostly can not handle more than two children.

Their hair color is usualy a light color and their eyes are normally blue or green. Some avians can have black hair and off color eyes if they have draconian blood in them, or have become vampires. Their skin color is commonly pale, but those with a bit of draconian blood in them may have tan or dark skin.

Avian siblings' wings will follow the rule of lites, with the exception of parrots, doves and ravens.

Community and Feuds
Anima like to be around one another and usually have large families. They despise avians and love humans.

Anima and avians have hated each other since time began. This is because of the failed relationship of Ani and Ava. During the war of the gods however, anima stayed neutral and received the lesser punishment.

In more modern times, avians have completely forgotten their hate for the anima.

Avians tend to live in rocky places near water with few trees. They can't handle very high temperatures and low humidity of deserts.

Ava
The goddess who created the avaries is Ava, goddess of war and knowledge. Ava is close to no one and strongly dislikes the other gods. She is known for her power over fire and is often seen with images of the sun. She brings summer to the world each year.

Children of Ava are called Phoenixes.
