Raptorfused
Aerial. Swift. Majestic. Raptorfused embody the regal virtues of birds of prey.
History
Dragons dominated the sky. Humans sought to change that by creating the Raptorfused. Influenced by predatory birds that fly swiftly to rival the Dragons' aerial authority.
Raptorfused had mixed success integrating into society after the Human Dragon war. Some found a natural niche within great libraries, while others gravitated to militaries to serve as scouts or aerial cavalry. Despite their relative acceptance among other species, they comprise very little of any given population.
Culture
Raptorfused hold dignity and articulate speech in high regard. They show little preference to urban or rural societies and trend to intellectual places where they are known for their direct and contemplative speaking pace. They often enjoy deep philosophical discussions and musings. Raptorfused value self control and speaking skills. They also laud firm, wise leaders who solve problems tactfully.
They despise those who act foolishly, take risks, or scorn advice and criticism. To them, the ability to accept input of others and make equitable and smart decisions is a mark of a mature person. Raptorfused will readily make known to you if you fall short of this criteria, and are equally ready to help others improve themselves.
Physicality
Raptor heads top a humanoid body. Feathers of matching plumage to their bird influencer line their limbs and cover the wings that grow from their backs. Their feet are narrow and hold sharp talons.
Night birds were created to spy on Dragons, and mimicry bird variants were made to confound their armies of Kobold minions. The night birds may also have been used to spy on the Humans allies, but that has never been confirmed. Vultures were used as an influence to create scouts that could go further without needing be bring supplies that would slow them down.
Physical Heritage
Those with Raptorfused blood may grow feathers even if they do not possess wings.
"You speak too much, and think too little."
