[edit] Passier
[edit] Personality
Passier are rare, normally secluded high up in the mountains in their own communities. They are most often seen by other races as socially awkward but make up for it with their exotic beauty. Passier can be very stubborn and rude to those who aren't familiar with their culture. Passier show respect only to those of high Honor or those with impressive skills, and admire those who easily adapt to any situation.
[edit] Physical Description
Passier are humanoid birds, They strongly resemble elves with Bird-like features. The physical attributes of the Passier differ from region to region and they resemble all types of birds, the two most common Passier resemble Hawks and Owls. Their Beaks branch out from their cheek bones and forward around their upper lip; They have no lower beak and instead have an extremely hard palette from their lower lip down to their chin. They have extremely smooth skin and only the oldest of the Passier have full body feathers, while the average Passier have downy feathers behind their ears, and large feathers descending down their back and Small feathers along the back of their arms which extend and grow for the purpose of flying. Every Passier has long feathers that protrudes from each shoulder, Known as Nell feathers, and these feathers grow as they age. Often the Passier with the largest nell feathers is the one in charge. The Passier have Scales that run from their feet to their ankle and grow as they age to eventually cover their shins up to their Knees. These Scales provide natural armor when they reach their growing limit (Usually around 400 years of age) and can actually be chipped down to the ankle, similar to the way Humans shave their legs. They stand at an average of about 6 feet and weigh about 100 pounds (Due to their hollow Bones).
The Passier are extremely agile, but are generally only a little stronger than the average adult human. They cannot wear armor heavier than Light Armor or bind their arms with any sort of cloth or armor if they wish to fly. They are excellent fighters and they tend to favor using their fists and talons in combat. -->
[edit] Relations
Most Passier absolutely adore Humans for their adaptability, so muchb that some Passier go to extremes to mimic them. Though it is frowned upon by Passier society, many Passier risk Exile by grounding down their beaks, clipping or binding their feathers, and making other body changes to look as human as possible. Such Passier seek acceptance among Human society and live among them. They generally don't have a lot of problems with any other race except Elves. The Passier distrust Elves and openly declare their anger when forced to be near them.
[edit] Alignment
The Passier are most often Neutral, and almost never pick sides when other races are warring.
[edit] Lands
High up in the mountains is where you can normally find Passier Communities.
[edit] Religion
The Passier can choose any religion they want, but normally choose to live their lives their own way, always trying to better themselves.
[edit] Language
The Passier can speak a wide range of languages and so have no limits to the languages they can speak. They can Speak Common and Avi (Their Racial Language.)
