What is the most surprising thing about your character?

Aralaya

@Talamond has white wings and pretty sure you saw them when to showed up in Targ the other day @Skye

Greys

Greys pretty much assumes any atavian without white wings has some abnormality or uses dyes. Almost all denizen ones do and actually the majority of people I notice do (granted, I'm on the Good side, evil people may use dyes).

His actual name is not Greys and his wings were originally white like most atavians.

*can't remember the last time she saw an Atavian with plain white wings* 

Okay, I guess mine is that I have plain white wings.

Probably when you saw Mel's before the thing.

HELP ATAVIANS said:
Their wings are typically white, though it is common to see a blue or grey tinge to the feathers. Other hues such as red, gold, and brown are unusual but do occur naturally.

Aralaya

@Greys Aralaya has 100% natural wings and is offended that you would suggest otherwise

I forgot. there's a lot of Atavians nowadays.

Kyrra

Part of Kyrra's background from the beginning has always been that her colouring (hair colour, eye colour, feather colour) came from her father's side since she never knew her father for most of her life.

If Arcadia had actually been accessible when I'd started playing, I'd likely have chosen the white wings and the blue-grey eyes of the Royal line because what little girl without a daddy doesn't imagine him being a royal Prince and she's really a long lost princess? Yeah, I like my fairytale endings.

Despite how much I'd love to make those changes, I've just never had a legit reason to do so. I can't even fathom giving up wings for a better race suited to a knight class because atavians are rubbish for stats. I just work with what I got.

Israyhl

Israyhl lives up to his Bardic training. He can write songs, ditties, shanties, marches, etcetera. He wrote a march for the Shield and a march for the Baelgrim. He plays his lyre as an instrument, not just as a prismatic barrier. He sings very well, too. 

He can also dance very skillfully, but if you ever ask him to dance, it will be like watching a train-wreck caused by another train-wreck. 

Mathilda

Hates mhun, they are enemies of the mining industry

Sholen

Is a complete book worm and ritualist and some how managed to become a battle mage and one of the three female followers of Lord Aegis. Lol

Cailan

Cailan secretly wishes he could be the archetypal honorable knight but there's no place for that in Targossas.

Shayde

Considering she is Xuaco's "spawn" and friend of Rip, I guess not commiting theft a day in her life would be considered surprising. Not due to the lack of him giving her shit, but because of her loyalties to the Merchant's no shady shit policies. Also, being one of the few serpents in the house and having to test anti-theft on ocassion is highly ironic as quite a few fail and still don't pay attention. They're horribly easy targets as she experienced when one of the student merchants got their journals stolen and she negotiated 25 credits for its return on their behalf. -.-;

Valaria

25 credits? wow. i feel someone has to give away their real cash for the return of the journal.

Shayde

It was her entire unsubmitted notes for her merchant apprenticeship and I was feeling generous enough to get it back for her from the serpent. Truthfully, I usually won't help someone if it is a theft from a serpent but I thought I'd have fun.

Saeva

Saeva suffers from phagomania.

shut up, Watchman, it is surprising! 

Borran

Borran was supposed to be "Boring".

Oh, I guess that's no surprise then. 

Aereidhna

It usually surprises people a bit that Aerei is vegetarian and also that she's a huge fan of Shadya and keeps her raido there. People following on raido always ends up in fun convos/giggles.

Elowin

Her crippling social anxiety and the weird and aggressive ways she expresses it around strangers.

Her half-remembered past growing up as an Atavian orphan in Ashtan conflicting with the (real? fake?) memories of growing up with a family in Moghedu and dying to raiders

(and becoming old Elowin's new body.)

Jinsun

Jinsun extremely paranoid. Not surprising to people who knows what he's been through but might be for people who don't know him. He doesn't like fighting. 95% of sailing bores him. He grows extremely attached to people he thinks he has a real connection with and struggles with rejection, He/I is/at a horrible nihilist 

Draqoom

Doesn't really like combat, almost nearly a vegetarian, won't kill sentient species if he doesn't absolutely have to and really dislikes Dwarves.

Suddenly things are so much clearer now

Siena

Siena is a celibate nudist who loves politics. All thanks to her grandfathers, Cenadrak and Tanaar.

Batista

Batista secretly longs to be a bard, dropping sweet rhymes and spitting straight fire at his foes.

Minifie

Is incredibly fond of violence and bloodshed, but hasn't quite indulged in it yet. Soon, though. A twist I want to play out properly not half-assedly.

Some of the busiest rhymes ever made by man
Are goin' into this mic, written by this hand
Are comin' out of this mouth, made by this tongue
I'll tell you now my name, my name is Young Batista

Zerachiel

Well, she WAS supposed to be a stoic edgelord like her previous incarnation. She decided to be a giggly happy nerd instead. Girl, Eleusis!Zeri would be ashamed.

Kalila

Kalila was supposed to be lazy and plump.

It somehow never turned out that way.

Vallie

I always ICly thought you were fond of that stuff just from conversations about hunting, though I assume you mean more adventurer-based.

D'aw, plump lizards in my mind immediately make me think of bearded dragons are they're the cutest things ever. But I'm biased, Xorani = my favourite race, scales are the best. Was a motivating factor for me to get dragon, because Xoran didn't fit with my mental image of Vallie. If I ever get a gem though..
