Makariri Tahi
- Name: Makariri Tahi or Riri for short.
Age: Adult Prime
Race: Eyries, specifically from a northern flock clan called the Rukhoar.
Eye color: Icy blue
Skin color: Frosty blue
Body build: Riri is a leanly muscular warrior
Hair color/length/style: Riri's hair is actually feathers crowning her head. The style is usually short, no longer than the nape her neck where shorter down-like feathers continue across her arms and back. All of her feathers are a brilliant silvery-white colour.
Unusual Features: As mentioned above, Riri has feathers for hair and down her arms and back. Please feel free to modify the design of the feathers to suit a more feminine look than the phoelarch reference picture, but keep in mind she is a proud fighter. Also, like all Eyries, Riri has a sharply defined nose and a bird-like cast to her face, especially visible in a profile view.
Tattoos/Markings: A silvery-white trail of snowflakes down the bare skin of each arm
Carried items: She can be depicted carrying normal traveling gear if so desired.
Clothing: Feel free to use your imagination on the clothing. The outfit I did in her RPing description (below) was just a basic traveling outfit, but represents the type of clothing she prefers (i.e. She prefers sleeveless tops and prefers pants to any type of skirt).
Armor: When in a casual situation Riri tends to wear light armor or no armor at all. If she knows there will be a battle, though, then she might wear heavier armor like plate or maille, though generally made from a lighter material and/or shaped in such a way as to not hinder her movement any more than necessary.
Weapons: Carries a falchion (a broad-bladed scimitar) in a sheath at her waist.
Jewelry: Sometimes wears a pendant, amulet, or earrings that bear some sort of icy motif such as snowflakes or icicles.
Missing (or extra) appendages: None
Character Personality: Like most eyries, Riri is definitely proud and sometimes vain to the point of constantly preening and keeping her appearance in check. However like her clan she has a will of ice and a heart of gold. She sees it as her mission in life to right the wrongs of the world and fights to do so wherever she sees the need.
Class: Warrior/fighter
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Other: Thanks to Alienarose for the lovely picture of Riri above! Also, the original Vazalkyon/Phoelarch race is (c) to Wizards of the Coast. The Eyries race are from the Irideth setting.
Description:
Sheathed in icy floes she stands at a reasonable 5'9" in height. A tangible chill cools the air about her frost-touched skin of wintery blue. Like a crown of hair, feathers cover her head like a warm fur hood, covering the scalp and touching upon the cheeks before flowing down her neck beneath her clothing and over the backs of her arms, all a brilliant silvery white and with the sheen of fresh preening. Her eyes are hawkish with a such a brilliant blue tint as to make the northern seas envious. She wears a simple pair of light coloured leather breeches and matching boots lined at the top with her own shed feathers. Her cotton top is oddly sleeveless, allowing view of the swirls of snowflakes in a glittering silver that spiral across her arms just below the shoulder, forever frozen in their trek across the pale blue sky. Sheathed at her hip, angeled to rest diagonally against the back of her legs while standing, is a falchion, the handle of which appears to be carved from ice.
