Bodyalt: Adrian Velasquez

Name: Adrian Velasquez (IGN: Diedrich)


(Ignore the elf ears, the simulator was being fussy. Obviously doesn't show his peacock features.)

Age: Exact age unknown, appears 19

Eye Color: Green

Hair Color: Blue and bright green, somewhat shiny.

Hair Style: Short and well groomed. Has a peacock’s crest sticking out near the back.

Height: 6’1’’

Skin Tone: Slightly tanned

Race: Human/Peacock Hybrid
Notable hybrid features:
-Full peacock tail
-Left hand is a 5-“fingered” talon, though it’s usually inside a glove
-Toenails are somewhat talon-like, though kept filed down
-Blue wings on his back, though they’re more for show than function; he can fly for short bursts but not very high or far.
-Peacock crest sticking out of his hair in the back
-Has an odd laugh; sounds like a peacock’s call.
-Has somewhat enhanced sight and hearing, as is often seen in avian hybrids. Often uses this to spy or eavesdrop on others.

Weapon of choice:
His taloned hand (Represented by a dagger OOC if not under his glove)

Personality: Easily bored, and as a result highly curious about whatever is going on around him; some would consider him nosy. Overly expressive of his thoughts and opinions, to the point where he tends to think out loud even when there are clearly others around him.

Bio:
Adrian doesn’t usually talk about his life before Erinn, but what is known is that he was highly involved in theater and that in his world, theater was much more than simply a means of entertainment. In his world, theater was a way of life, and everything from news to politics to law enforcement was dramatized on the stage for the world to see, and the “actors” in these productions were held in highest esteem.

Adrian himself was a highly esteemed “actor” in the law enforcement division of things, though his work was not always the most honest in nature. Behind the grand stage on which he publicly performed his accusations of criminals, he was often paid to collect evidence on people through whatever means necessary, whether it would have been considered legal or not. It was also rumored that he was part of a small group of “actors” who were paid large sums of money to perform private executions, away from the eyes and ears of the always watching masses. When he was eventually caught falsifying evidence by someone not in on the scheme, instead of being tried fairly and publicly, his higher ups paid another “actor” to kill him quietly, away from the eyes of the audience, and then relayed the news of his death as a tragic accident, thereby sentencing him to the fate he had previously sent so many to himself. It was not long after his death that he was reborn in Erinn.

Adrian has a habit of speaking his thoughts aloud as if he’s talking to someone almost all the time, a habit left over from having been on stage and in the public eye for much of his pre-Erinn life. He is quick to dismiss people as boring or uninteresting, but will become highly fascinated with those who he does consider to be interesting, usually people who he thinks might be dangerous or who he thinks might have interesting pasts to dig up. The latter in particular occasionally gets him in trouble, as once he becomes interested it can be difficult to make him stop trying to find out more about what he’s curious about, though he's unlikely to pursue a dangerous or otherwise risky endeavor if he's not getting paid.

Nosy, gossipy, and not particularly subtle, many people consider Adrian to be abrasive, though not particularly dangerous. However, there have been occasional rumors that Adrian has a darker side and that his patience, while not short in supply, should not be tested. As he’s not quick to anger, though, it’s rare that the chance to test that theory arises, though given his life before Erinn, it’s not at all unlikely that those who know the truth aren’t going to be eager to talk.

Something to look into: http://rpsociety.heavenforum.org/t3471-race-animal-hybrid

Particularly the Avian-Hybrid (I'm sure Avian is for the birds, soooo yea). Just for an idea on things that being a half-bird might entail aside from the appearence.
