Tierlan

1025 yrs old (looks 21)

As a Morphidae, he lacks a physical gender. He identifies as male, despite his feminine looks

Crown Prince

Crown Prince

Avatar has a beautiful complexion, being a tall and naturally thin type, with his shoulders neither wide nor thick, with graceful hands, a slender waist, his hip bones lightly poking out from underneath his skin, long smooth thin legs and a surprisingly nice booty - he is considered to be very pretty and graceful, even by Morphidae standards, as most males tend to develop more masculine features instead of delicate ones.

In his youth, he was much shorter, and had a more lean physique

Long and shiny earrings, wide and warm smile, expressive purple-blue eyes, extremely polite, articulate and friendly personality, the red gradient in hair, sweet comforting smell, effeminate appearance

In his true form, he is a giant serpentine creature, with a fox-like head. His body is long and graceful, his paws end with sharp talons, with the same transparent gradient at the extremities and his eyes are bright blue in color. His mask has slightly elongated features, with sharper edges, large horns and is entirely black, with red patterns. His tail resembles a jellyfish or a curtain, given all the layers of smoke that circle around it
Unlike most Morphidae, his body is coated with crystal plates on the chest and back

Strikingly beautiful face (sometimes even described as angelic), with delicate, feminine features, high cheekbones and a thin nose. He has rounded eyes, usually half closed and a medium-sized mouth with soft natural rosy lips, usually arched in a tender smile.
Because of his youthful, feminine visage, he is usually either mistaken for a woman, or considered a little bit too young to be a father, despite the fact he's a fully matured male.
With proper make-up, he can easily pass as a legit female

Contrary to his royal status, his usual outfits consist of simple, plain common clothes, usually white or any other light color; despite the simplicity of his outfits, there's always a sense of elegance and dignity that never seems to change no matter what he's wearing.

At his coronation, he wore an intricate large white silk robe with beautiful floral golden patterns and golden/red seams - overall, an outfit truly worthy of a king.

123.5 lb (56.0 kg) - being a Morphidae means his body is lighter than it appears

231 cm (7.6 ft) - average size for a mature male continental Morphidae, but very intimidating by human standards

Raven black - After recovering his missing soul part, his hair gains a red gradient at the ends

Rich and glossy butt length hair, straight, tied in a loose ponytail, with long bangs and forelocks

Nope - he's physically unable to grow facial hair

Cerulean blue eyes with a faint hint of purple and glowing white pupils

Morphidae

Porcelain towards ivory, very smooth and unblemished

Despite his intimidating stature, Avatar is a lovely and charming individual, with a warm and calm, usually innocent demeanor, often seen with his signature warm smile present on his face. He's best described as being a gentle giant with a quincy personality, as he's a very kind, caring, friendly and supportive person, loved by pretty much everyone who's ever met him - he's a literal ball of sunshine. He is quite pudic, tends to be oblivious to flirting, gives unconditional love to those he cares for, doing everything in his power to make them happy; he is especially fond of children, feeling the need to care for them, even if they are not his - this in return earned him the nickname "Guardian angel". He was and still is, a loyal husband and a loving father.
Compared to his wife, he's much softer, being very affectionate and more experienced with children.
He doesn't seem to ever get angry, instead showing a soft disappointment or sadness depending on the situation, although he was able to express anger prior to losing a piece of his soul. The only thing that seems to annoy him so far is trash talk about his loved ones; whenever this happens, his normally peaceful and innocent calmness starts emanating obvious dangerous vibes, strong enough to send shivers down anyone's spine - coupled with his intimidating size, it's usually very easy to repel any trouble seekers.
Because of his peaceful nature, he tends to avoid fighting as much as he can, as he usually manages to immobilize his opponent right away with minimum force. When faced with a much stronger opponent, he would rather stay away, getting involved only if one of his loved ones is in danger.
Given his soft personality, the loss of loved ones, especially close ones, can have a devastating effect on him, causing him to completely shut down emotionally from the shock. He is very attached and protective of his only son, always quick to respond if the child needs him. Even though Avatar has a reputation as a complete pacifist, he will fiercely protect Narion from anything that might pose a threat to the child - protecting one's own offspring is a base instinct in every Morphidae

Hums to himself, walks in dance steps when very happy, taps his fingers on the table in a random rhythm when thinking of something, plays with his hands when nervous, smiles very often his right ear twitches a few times when confused or intimidated, leans back on a chair and tries to balance it on two legs or stacks up objects (usually loafs of bread on his lion's head) when bored or concentrating, he covers his face with his hands when flustered, his eyes water involuntarily when spooked.
He speaks in a comforting, soft manner, like a parent towards a child; he pays a lot of attention and acts very affectionate towards his son, stroking the child's hair whenever he holds him in his arms.

His strong wish to protect the people he cares for and be a responsible father to his child

All humans are shameless liars - humans have been the cause of most of his troubles so far, thus he has a hard time trusting a word they say. It would take a lot for a human to even make Avatar less suspicious around them

Can be absent-minded sometimes, incapable of performing strong magic, emotionally sensitive, tends to overlook his own well being in favor of others' and despite being a fairly good caretaker, he's not a perfect father figure, due to all the experience he missed out on while he was separated from his child.

Losing everyone he loves or cares for. Sadly, part of this has already happened, as he has already lost his parents, some of his friends, his grandfather and his wife's whereabouts are currently unknown.
His son is currently the last living member of his family, which he loves dearly - losing him would kill Avatar.

Failing to be a good father is his second fear

Given that a part of his soul had been stolen when he was younger, he isn't able to perform strong magic, even after reaching adulthood

1. Avatar has a natural gift when it comes to cooking - his grandfather was the first one to notice after allowing the young boy to cook something for the very first time (supervised ofc). As he grew up, Avatar sharpened his culinary instinct, becoming the sensitive skilled cook he is now
   Nothing makes him happier than being able to cook for the people he loves.




2. He learned how to play the guitar while hanging out with his friends and messing around with some instruments. Even as an adult, he and his friends would sometimes have a "Music night" where they play some songs together - sorta like a karaoke night




3. He's pretty good at dancing, especially the female roles, since he is capable of imitating the same grace

• Goes out with his friends when he has time

• He likes sports, as he's a very active person

• Absolutely loves domestic chores - cleaning and cooking are his no. 1 favorites

• Since youth, he has developed a passion for dancing that he has maintained even to this day. He recently started teaching the younger generations how to perform various dances, so as to bring back the peaceful atmosphere that existed before the raids began. His favourite dance so far remains the Red Bird Fan Dance - the interesting thing about this dance is that it was meant to be performed by a female dancer; however, it's a known fact that Avatar doesn't shy away from filling in the female roles in various dances

Fun fact: his passion for dancing started after he had to disguise himself as a dancer for one night

Katana

Monotheist - a religion similar to Christianism

Personally, he himself isn't completely closed to change, as long as its done naturally by the will of the people. Given his lack of trust in humans, he rejects most of their political ideologies when someone tries to impose them on his people - even if he sees good sides, he refuses to bend to them.

Crown prince (former)
He has yet to take on the king title after his grandfather's death, mostly because of the emotional shock he suffered from his loss

Soft red

April 3rd

As the Crown Prince, he's been taught pretty much everything a future king needs to know, coupled with 1000 yrs of life experience - he's pretty wise

Avatar was born in the far east side of the continent, close to the sea. His father was a respected Morphidae, known for his seriousness and devotion for work, while his mother was a female from the southern islands, with admirable raven black hair. Avatar inherited his father's blue eyes but also his mother's appearance and enviable dark hair, which was something new for the family, given that for more than 11 generations, everyone had light coloured hair. His father's relationship with the current king, Avatar's grandfather, wasn't very smooth, as they talked very little and avoided each other if they could. Eventually, an argument broke out and Avatar's father decided it would be best if he and his family left to another city; unfortunately, Avatar's parents were killed by an unknown assassin before they could even leave the area. Since at the time it happened, Avatar was just an infant, he was left in the care of his grandfather who raised him, with the help of Natory, a friend of Avatar's father.
Because of the given education, Avatar grew up to be a nice and energetic Morphidae, with strong morals and polished manners. During his childhood, he managed to befriend a couple of other kids who later became his best friends and trusty gang. In his teenage period, he left home and ventured off on the mainland where he was unfortunately captured by humans and used as a test subject in a human experiment where he was intended to be transformed into a The Crimson Set Daemon. After a forceful partial extraction of his soul, he managed to escape.
He eventually made it back home, with no memory of the experiment and what was left of his magic. He later married a female from the polar hemisphere after becoming a fully grown adult, which was regarded as a pretty rare thing, given that the two Morphidae kinds rarely met. His wife bore him a child, a soft and cute little thing, that softened his heart so much, it would prove to be devastating for him in the future events, as sadly, he could not enjoy fatherhood for very long as his city was attacked by never before seen creatures, resulting in his grandfather's death and the disappearance of his wife and only child.
After losing his loved ones yet again, he shut down emotionally and rarely left his house anymore, retreating in his sadness and keeping everyone away. The only person that managed to break him out of his silence every now and then was Natory, his father's best friend, who tried consoling him any way he could, even though it was obvious that Avatar was distraught, with little chances of ever recovering from the mental shock. After some years of complete isolation, he slowly began leaving the house, under a different form, and wandering around the city every now and then, acting like a different person. Even though everyone in the city knew it was him, he refused to revert to his original form, as if symbolically hiding his inner pain.
After encountering his thought-to-be-dead child, he decided to start rebuilding his life, trying to be a responsible father for his offspring, in time finding the courage to show his face to the world once more.

A lion named Kyrill, who is his spirit companion. Since companions match the owner, Kyrill is one huge beast but despite this, he is a passive lion, usually spending time around the house, just relaxing. Avatar likes to stack up loafs of bread on his forehead when he catches him sleeping

Avatar is a good shape-shifter.
His favorite transformation is a human form he uses as a general disguise. In this form, he is a handsome young man, with shoulder length blond hair, wearing a stylish suit.
Other forms include a small female Morphidae, with hazel brown hair, a child version of himself he showed only once (in this form, he bears a shocking resemblance to his own son) and a few animal forms, predominantly birds. In all humanoid forms, he keeps his signature earrings.
He later adds Rynn 's appearance to his transformation choices

Morphidae

Morphidae are often seen as a humanoid race of creatures with heights ranging from 6.7ft to 9ft in height and ridiculously light bodies. Their most notable feature is their wing shaped ears situated on the sides of their head, their prominent canines and their brightly coloured eyes, with white pupils. They usually have delicate features, kind faces, supple bodies and thin limbs. Morphidae do not possess genitals, they only copy gender differences, therefore young individuals have a strong androgynous appearance, as gender differences appear during the teenage period.

At birth, a Morphidae's hair has the same texture and softness as fur - a defining trait for young specimens; with age, the hair loses the fur texture and the softness fades.
Despite not having a tail nor other animalistic body part, they are often confused with a lesser species of spirits who possess animal features and are known to cause trouble.

Their species branches out into 2 different Morphidae types: the continentals and the polar Morphidae. Continental Morphidae are generally large and athletic, with almost any hair colour and long colourful plumes at the tip of their ears, while polar Morphidae are a tad bit smaller and less imposing than their continental counterpart. Polar Morphidae are usually recognized by the smaller, fluffier ears with small, usually colourless plumes at the tip of the ear (sometimes, the plumes are completely absent).

In their true form, Morphidae appear as large serpentine creatures made of something resembling smoke, wearing dark masks, with bright glowing eyes and a crystal "heart". Stronger Morphidae can have armour on them, although this is pretty rare for present-day specimens.
Upon "evolving", they gain a set of wings and their masks become more decorated.

Each Morphidae has a unique smell to it, that becomes more pronounced as the creature ages. While for non-Morphidae species this smell is nothing more than body fragrance, for other Morphidae, it can be a way of indirect communication. Parents often raise the intensity of their smell in order to notify their young of their location or to make their presence known to other Morphidae.

Another important detail is the body temperature. Morphidae have a very high temperature, going from average fever level at the extremities to downright HOT at the chest. If the temperature drops, it's usually a sign of health issues

Morphidae are naturally peaceful creatures. They can be described as being kind, harmless, protective and very patient creatures, even though in the human history they are depicted as gods of destruction. This wrongful depiction is due to a group of cases where Morphidae had used magic in self defense or, in one rare case, it was a manifestation of grief from losing an offspring (Morphidae love children a lot, so are very protective of their young).
In everyday life, Morphidae are usually nice and polite, young individuals displaying a loud, cheerful and very friendly behavior, whereas older individuals try to keep a more dignified image, but just as friendly. In society, they have developed a series of gestures with their own significance. For example, the act of gently bumping foreheads is regarded as a display of deep affection and is mostly used by parents in their relationship with their offspring or sometimes, by couples.

Despite their peaceful attitudes, they are still regarded as fearsome monsters by many, mostly due to the wrongful depictions of them presented by humans and the fact that they can no longer be found in the wild.

They are considered to be one, if not the first race of creatures that came into existence at the beginning of the world. They later became the realm's guardians, protecting it from the malevolent forces that wanted to claim the world and turn it into a corrupted waste land. They helped many of the other races to develop and become what they are today

Given the massive amount of magic they posses, their bodies are very frail. Without their magic, a Morphidae is basically helpless. They are also hesitant to fight back if attacked and refused to take action against humans, who had discovered a way to neuter their magic and kill them. This later costed them almost everything, as their specie was driven on the edge of extinction by a massive attack; during the chaos created by the attack, their Prince was lost and never seen again, leaving those who knew about him wonder if the little Morphidae ever stood a chance against the attackers.

A Morphidae is essentially immortal, thus being able to live forever. They reach maturity at the age of 1000, after which they are finally able to have a family of their own. If extremely lucky, one can reach the age of 5000-7000, although the vast majority barely reaches the age of 2000 yrs due to the excessive hunting by humans.

Since they are technically immortal, a Morphidae cannot die of old age, instead, they can "evolve" into a divine form, and become able to move on to the spiritual realm. After evolving, they can no longer be killed by anyone, as they have technically become "angels"; despite this, not many Morphidae have evolved, given the mortality rate.

Having the role of Divine Guardians, they posses powers so great, that one gesture is enough to sink mountains or boil oceans. However, they are bound by ancestral laws to never abuse their power under any circumstance, nor to use it to harm someone. Despite having such a high level of natural magic, Morphidae use little to no magic at all in their normal lives, preferring to do everything the normal way

Despite possessing a carnivorous oriented dentition, Morphidae are predominantly omnivores.
Their diet includes pretty much any edible plant in the world, as well as various meat types. Fish is the big favorite, followed by white meat and sometimes red meat. Pork is the least preferred meat type, but they will not refuse it if offered.
Morphidae are also known to be huge fans of sweets, as sugar actually has a positive effect on their magic - in certain parts of the world, there are stories about how people would often leave out a plate full of sweets as a thank you gift for the Morphidae that helped them.

Food is not vital for their survival, but it always has been a very useful way of gaining energy, so they eat regularly anyway. Because it's not a necessity, food is always prepared with utmost care, as to make it a pleasant experience.

Saint of Blades - the ability to summon and control any blade. One of the very few close combat abilities a Morphidae can possess. Since Avatar lost a piece of his soul in his youth, this ability currently belongs to Rynn , the daemon created from his magic

Shape shifting, increased resistance, fire bending, control over plants (used mostly in gardening)
