This is an rp-enforced mud, and I think it's time we started putting effort into making it appear that way. I know the common cliche is the aggressive neutral halfling thief, in this case it was an avian. Come on guys, if you want an excuse to kill everyone, make an evil, not a fucking neutral.



Blackjacks me completely out of the blue. Why? For my brown cloaks which I got at level 6.

might. Smoothed back flawlessly, it holds firm as if it were not hair, but
instead an onyx carving on this creature's head. Eyelashes of unvarying
similarity to the hair mounting the skull on this being streak from the top
and bottom of the eyes of a peculiar shade of lavender, framing them nicely.
Smooth, unscathed cheekbones rise like monuments to a dark passion high on
this face- the same face that holds a cocky smirk that seems engrained into
it. A sharp, yet somehow seemingly smooth chin is clean-shaven at the
bottom of the pale, heart-shaped face- though, it might be unnatural, as the
cheeks seem rather coloured for the shade of skin it claims to possess.
Smoothly-muscles take casual hold of the limbs of the creature- not
powerful, but still fit. Well-manicured fingernails extend one inch past
the fingers that have grown from the hand of the sentient presented before
you. Another extremely notable thing that might be seen upon this creature
are wings. Great, feathered wings of the same colour that is given to
wickedness have become infused with the shoulder blades of the avian- for
that is surely what he is- have the ability to cover him completely from
elongated neck to his slender ankles.
He has just opened up his eyes to the world.
