Birds of Prey
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



~RP thread~

~OOC chat~

~Rules of the roleplay~

All RP rules may NOT be broken. Those to break them will be expelled from the rolelay.
1. Follow all lioden rules.
2. NO Powerplay/godmodding.
3. Fade to black. No mating/birthing scenes.
4. Your Character cannot have pink feathers or three legs.
5. Roleplay realistic. Please put some research into the bird you want to RP (google is your friend!).
6. Fight realistically. Don't make birds that are smaller over powered. If a bigger bird attacks a smaller one it will win. The smaller one may flee or be beaten.
7. Please keep to the weight and size of the species you RP. Put 'Peregrine' in 'other' section to show that you have read this.
8. Only eagles, owls, hawks, falcons, crows and ravens are allowed to roleplayed!


~Rules of the flock~

All flock rules may be broken. Those to break them will receive punishment. They will be brought before the parliament if it is a serious offence or they will be put back in their place by the murder.
1. The parliaments decision will be followed.
2. The young will be protected at all cost
3. The ill will be killed.
4. All birds will hunt for themselves.
5. If a bird leaves the flock it will not be accepted back.
6. Loners will be killed or driven of UNLESS there are still birds needed in the flock.


~The flock~

The parliament
(Owls; deciders) - 5/5

-Velatha|Female|Northern Saw-Whet Owl
-Isis|Female|Barn owl
-Specter|Male|Eastern Screech Owl
-Adonis|Male|Eurasian Eagle Owl
-Akio|Male|Great-Horned Owl

These are the leaders of the flock and will make all important decisions. They are the highest rank. They will be made responsible for misfortunes (leading the flock into barren lands, starvation, mayor problems) and killed or expelled from the flock. Than a new parliament will be chosen by vote from the flock. The members of the parliament may not mate or have younglings.


The cast
(Eagles; protectors) - 4/5

-Palpetta|Female|Pallas' Fish Eagle
-Amethyst|Female|American Bald Eagle
-Eren|Male|Steller's sea eagle
-Yurie|Male|Pallas' Fish Eagle
-

The general
(Eagle; leader of the cast; will be chose by vote by the cast) 0/1

-Hades|Male|Harpy Eagle

Their job is to protect the flock and kill all that try to prey upon them. While the eagles protect the colony they are looked upon with a mix of fear an awe. Their leader is the general and will take orders directly from the parliament.


The flight
(Hawks, falcons; scouts) - 5/5

-Hikari|Female|Hawk
-Falcina|Female|Peregrine Falcon
-Varis|Male|Red-Tailed Hawk
-Shadow Moon|Female|Peregrine Falcon
-Kara|Female|Northern Goshawk/ European Goshawk

When the flock is on the move the flight will be at the very front scouting a head and reporting back. They will be the ones to find shelter and the best places to hunt. When the flock is settled they will actively patrol the territory.


The murder
(Ravens, crows; killers) – 5/5

-Branwenn|Female|Brown-necked raven
-Onyx|Male|Common American Raven
-Pax|Female|White-necked raven
-Kuo|Male|Collared Crow
-Irda|Female|Little Raven

The murder is exclusively made up of crows and ravens. Ravens being bigger are of higher rank and will lead the murder. Their job is to put trouble makers back in line and to kill all ill, less the disease spreads. They may than eat their victims. While the murder may receive orders from the general or parliament they may also act of their own accord.


The colony
(All birds not occupying a rank; survivors) 3/10

-Angel|Female|Hawk
-Chouette|Female|Eastern Screech Owl
-Sharvane|Male|Gyrfalcon
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

The colony is the heart of the flock. This includes all beyond their prime, the very young or weak and parents. Both parents will take care of the young. Either the mother or father will stay with the youngling or eggs while the other will supply food. When the youngling is grown both parents can either stay in the colony or reclaim any rank they occupied before. Often birds will not join up in the ranks but stay with the colony. These birds are often looking for mates or a peaceful live.

Isis

barnowlforestry.jpg


Title ~Varda Glanwethrin
Age ~ 25
Gender ~ Female
Sexuality ~ Heterosexual
Rank ~ The colony (wants to be part of the parliament)
Species ~ Barn owl (Tyto alba)
Weight ~ 300 g
Length ~ 35 cm
Wingspan ~ 92 cm
Other ~ gosh

~ Personality ~
Isis is proud and used to looking down on other raptors. She expects to be treated with respect. She prefers to be addressed by her title rather than by her real name. Isis can get quite vicious and nasty if she is not treated according to her expectations. She looks down on others, especially brutes and cowards. She is corrupt and only interested in a person if she can use them to achieve her goals. She will do this by any means, threatening, bribing lying-you name it. Even though this coldly beautiful barn owl usually prefers to let others fight for her she can fight as well. She can strike fast as a viper and isn't afraid to fight dirty.
Although she is strictly speaking heterosexual and has very sexist views of woman's and man's roles she will entertain other relationships with birds of any sexual orientation or species if it serves her goal.

~ History ~
Born among a peaceful flock Isis was never content. She told herself that there must be something more to live than living from one day to the next. So she left the colony in search for something, not even knowing what. What she found was a world quite different from what she was thought to believe. Live was unfair and only the strong survived. Power is what mattered here. And soon enough when Isis had gotten a taste of it she found it too her liking. Always striving for more.

Eren

barnowlforestry.jpg


Age ~ 28
Gender ~ Male
Sexuality ~ Heterosexual
Rank ~ The cast
Species ~ White tailed sea eagle
Weight ~ 7 kg
Length ~ 90 cm
Wingspan ~ 2.5 m
Other ~ gosh

~ Appearance ~
Eren's physical appearance is quite the opposite of his friendly nature. Everything about him seems devised to kill, from his large hooked beak, razor talons to his sharp eyes adapt to spotting prey. Steller's sea eagles are much larger than their cousins and Eren isn't an exception with his broad and muscular build. His shoulders, forehead, legs and tail are typically white coloured while the rest of his body is a dark brown.

~ Personality ~
Eren is simple, however the mistake most people make is in confusing "simple" with "stupid". He is not quick to jump to conclusions, in fact he is not quick to jump to anything or for anyone. He will first think and contemplate, than after much consideration he will act. Once set in motion Eren is like a moving boulder and will not be put to stop lightly.

Eren is totally honest and determined to be friends with everyone and anyone. He hates to disappoint those he cares for and is always confident in the believe that everyone is decent and good underneath all the prejudices and violence. This is also the reason why he gives everyone a second chance (or third when it comes tom it).

~ History ~
Comming soon!

Name ~ Angel
Age ~ 18
Gender ~ Female
Sexuality ~ Straight
Rank ~ survivor
Species ~ Hawk
Weight ~1.6lb
Wingspan ~35 wingspan
Length ~
Personality ~
Angel loves to fly high up like a eagle but she is a hawk so she flies lower. she is very social and interactive with friends because she always love to play Friendly games even while hunting or working. Angel can be found in giants trees up top in a nest she would build because she is always ready for her future. She basically loves to play games, fly, learn and protect others
Appearance ~ Moderator removed image due to lack of source
History ~ Angel has had a shocking past since her parents died due to wedge tailed eagles so she fears them most. she grew up lonely as a young one until a giant great owl had taken her to safety/ to the flock. she had been trained by him everyday so she knows how to hunt silently and stalk enemies. Angel felt at home and felt she had a family but started to call the great owl farther before his death of old age.

~ Name ~
Branwenn
[Meaning 'fair raven']

~ Age ~
26 Years

~ Gender ~
Female/Hen

~ Sexuality ~
Asexual - Biromantic

~ Rank ~
The Murder (Killer)

~ Species ~
Corvus ruficollis 
[Brown-necked raven]

~ Weight ~
1,5 lb

~ Size ~
21 inches long, 45 inch wingspan

~ Personality ~
Branwenn is definitely a little more fierce than most birds, but she is very brave and intelligent. She is great at plotting schemes and she knows how to set them into motion effectively. She almost always appears calm and collected, no matter how angry she might be feeling; this façade makes it very difficult for others to know what she's thinking, and it makes her much more dangerous and unpredictable. While courteous towards enemies and allies alike, she has very little empathy for others and is prepared to maim, kill or manipulate anyone to achieve her goals. She's definitely much more of an observer, and she prefers to lurk in the shadows and watch until she's needed. She's also very stubborn, and she hates to admit that she's wrong.

Despite some of her bad traits, Branwenn is a good leader, able to keep large groups of birds under control and get them to follow her orders, so if there is no other authority present she tends to step up as leader. While it's hard to get close to her, she can be a very useful ally, and if she truly likes you, she'll be a loyal friend. She isn't interested in having a 'mate', since she doesn't want chicks at all, but she wouldn't mind a romantic partner to cuddle up with and talk to.

~ Appearance ~
[Image Above]
In Flight [Source]
Branwenn is a large corvid with glossy feathers and black eyes. She has elongated, pointed feathers on her throat; these feathers are called hackles, and are a trait of her species. She has lustrous, black feathers that are tinged violet on her wings, flanks, tail and breast, while her crown and upper-parts are tinged dark green. The back of her neck, throat and upper-back are shiny brown in color.

~ History ~
Branwenn wasn't always part of The Murder, at first she was actually just a survivor. She didn't like having such an insignificant rank though, and she would constantly ask to become a killer, but she'd always get rejected because all of the ranks were already filled. She was just about to give up hope when she found out that one of the killers was ill, and was trying to hide it from the rest of the flock so that they could stay alive. When she told the parliament about her discovery, she was thanked for the information by getting a spot in The Murder and being allowed to kill the sick raven herself. She's happy with her rank now, and she takes her job very seriously.

I'll book mark this and put in my falcon when I get off work. But do we need sexuality? Just a question... I don't mean to offend anyone. (I'll explain my reasoning over PM if necessary.)

http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/images/uploads/Eastern_screech_owl.JPG
source: http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/pso/article/owls_of_illinois

Name ~ Chouette (pronounced shwet)
Age ~ 15
Gender ~ Female
Sexuality ~ AceAro
Rank ~ Survivor
Species ~ Eastern Screech Owl
Weight ~ 140 grams
Wingspan ~ 20 in
Length ~ 7 in
Personality ~ Chouette is a quiet, observant indivudual. Too young to receive a rank, she stays with the colony for now, but dreams of becoming a member of the parliament, the only higher rank for birds of her kind. She's very thoughtful, and not afraid to speak her mind, even if it's a differing opinion, which it often is. She is kind and caring, often volunteering to care for chicks while their parents find food. A fascination of hers, however, is plants. She knows which ones are poison, and which ones can be used to cure sore muscles, headaches, feather loss, or which ones are even good to eat.
Appearance ~ Small even for her species, Chouette relies on her agility, senses, and wits to stay alive. She has a stark contrast of white and rich brown feathers, as well as typical wide, yellow eyes. Her sharp talons and beak are useful when hunting, as she does every night. (picture above)
History ~ Chouette joined the flock quite recently, when she was an adolescent. She cannot recall her parents, as every memory before the flock was spent with an old Great Horned Owl who raised her and taught her everything he knew about plants. His name was Hibo, and he acted like a surrogate father, as well as a mentor to her. When Hibo died, Chouette left and eventually found the flock. She joined it after convincing the birds there that she could be of use, and they let her stay.

Kiara - Accepted! And if you didn't know only owls with black eyes and a facial disc hunt at night, so it won't be a problem for your Character to be a wake during the day and be with the other birds! :)
Even those 'night owls' may be active during the day to make roleplaying easier.

Name ~ Palpetta
Age ~ 40
Gender ~ Female
Rank ~ The Cast
Species ~ Pallas' Fish Eagle
Weight ~ 3.5 kg
Wingspan ~ 200 cm
Length ~ 80 cm
Personality ~ Palpetta comes off as a collected and serene individual. Her actions and words are carefully selected and often poised or motherly in tone. Behind the calm and soothing demeanor her eyes reflect a sharp intelligence and... something else. Her caring nature is welcomed by plenty, while in others it instills a sense of unease and anxiousness. When on duty she is focused and tenacious- often making calculated and decisive strikes upon enemies of the flock. Her sense of loyalty comes off as strong, as she valorously defends the flock, yet there are a few individuals that are leery of her. Perhaps for good reason.
Appearance ~
Pallas's_Fish_Eagle_(_Haliaeetus_leucory
Photograph by Lip Kee | [Source]
History ~
Palpetta was born and raised within the flock. From a young age she aspired to be a part of The Cast and trained both individually and with like-minded eagles of the same age to gain acceptance. While many didn't make the cut, she was thrilled when she was recruited into the ranks. She served dutifully and often provided assistance to members of The Flight when asked or assigned. During one of these assignments, she suddenly went missing and was nowhere to be found for over a month. When she was rediscovered she was suffering from a considerable number of injuries. In order to recover she was benched and shifted back into the colony- it was during that time she met her mate and eventually had a clutch of two. One chick ended up passing while the other, now a young adult, survived. Once her son was fully independent Palpetta rejoined the ranks of The Cast and has been there ever since. While she still demonstrates a strong sense of loyalty, something within her mind seems to have fundamentally shifted. When asked about her time when she was missing, she reports that she was ambushed and left to die- rarely going into great detail about the ordeal.

Hey, I'm in love with this idea omg!!! I've been waiting for a bird role play for such a long time! So count me in :D

May I reserve a male eagle/protector?
Thanks!

------------------------------------------------------

harpy_eagle_by_spamwisegamgee.jpg


"You know my name, not my story. You know what I've done, not what I've been through. If you were in my shoes, you'd fall with the first step."

Name:

Hades

Age ~
27 years

Gender ~
Male

Sexuality ~
Heterosexual + Heteroromantic

Rank ~
The General
The Cast (Protector)

Species ~
Harpy eagle

Weight ~
21 pounds

Length ~
3 1/2 feet

Wingspan ~
6 1/2 feet

~ Personality ~
Hades is a very aggressive, vicious, and overall fearless brute which can even be bad at some times, as he will take on any opponent and will rush into a fight, though his strength is helpful. He lacks fear overall. He only fears one thing, losing someone he loves, whether it be romantic, friend-wise, or family-wise. It tends to be his only weakness. Given his slightly short temper, Hades is very quick-to-fight and, due to his large size and strength, he can almost always cause damage if he does attack. As mentioned before, the male is very aggressive, likely to attack if he has a reason. He is definitely quick to jump with claws out and teeth bared if he or someone he cares for is injured, insulted, or threatened, often causing damage. Hence the name Hades. If someone manages to break the stone called his heart, Hades is one of the most passionate males there is, able to hold those dear to him very close. Even though his rather reserved and cold personality can push away the females, he can be quite charming if he wants to and if he ever does find a mate, he would be interested in having chicks. Though for the most part, Hades will most likely never get a mate, and he believes this himself, as he is one of the most rough and vicious eagles, one that doesn't let himself get very close to another- he'd have to actually fall in love, which is unlikely.

~ Appearance ~
A fearsome - yet attractive - male with fur colored win black, grey, and white. Along with this, the fearsome brute has intimidating dark brown/black eyes eyes. Having a fearsome length of 3 1/2 feet inches (at the shoulder) and weighing at a startling 21 pounds (a lot of it muscle), Claw is typically a "beast among birds", a large eagle for his species, one of the largest birds in the group, with an immense amount of strength, like his father before him. The only bird to be around the same size as him was Sekhmet, a rather large female harpy, another protector. He has rippling muscles like stone to the touch, earned from violent and rather aggressive training (from his father+by himself), and the large quantity of fights he has fought in his lifetime. Due to his size and intimidating figure, Hades is a eagle known to strike fear into others, having a fearsome appearance. His sharp claws are about as long and sharp as a grizzly bears, a common thing for his species. This broad-shouldered male has a few scars on his body from the many battles he has fought, including a long one down/across the left side of his neck from his mortal enemy [OPEN], three faint claw marks on his left back leg, and a small, barely noticeable one across his dorsal bridge of his razor sharp beak The fighter also has other various scars on his pelt, but none as significant as the ones mentioned before. Despite all the scars Hades wears, the brute is still an attractive eagle, though he does appear as a fearsome and intimidating brute- his dark feathers, scars, piercing eyes, and his large, stocky body all making this so.

@Christicat15 - Accepted! I think he is someone whom Sekhmet would either like a lot or not at all. She is very complicated. XD
