[ Species/ Ethnicity ] 

:bulletwhite: Night (Raat) Garuda of Mount Elyssia :bulletwhite:
The Garuda are a sentient warrior eagle species speculated in some scripts to be the ancestor species of Phoenixes and similar mythological creatures. The Mount Elyssian Garuda are separated into two gene types labelled 'Night' (Raat) and 'Day' (Din) of which they co-exist harmoniously as a single species. His kind have a biological magic within them that allows them to shift between three forms (Human, winged and bird.)

Bird; 2'9"

[ Weight ]

Human; 140lbs
Winged; 167lbs

[ Personality ]

:bulletwhite: Inner Lotus :bulletwhite:
Having an Inner Lotus means one believes that there are no outside forces controlling fate and destiny (No deity or spirituality) and that one must choose, forge and walk their own fate through the decisions they make.

:bulletwhite: Patient :bulletwhite:
Being raised a typical Night Garuda, patience is a very important trait as opposed to his hasty day-dwelling cousins. He likes to take his sweet time making decisions as well as awaiting perfect opportunities.

:bulletwhite: Learning to be Open-Minded :bulletwhite:
His species may be set in their ways for now, but he's attempting to open his mind more to the perspective of others and not be judgmental, though he's subject to lapsing.

:bulletwhite: Curious :bulletwhite:
He likes to learn things, whether it be a new sport or game, or some gossip about people, he's interested in most topics of conversation and has a tendency to snoop if he doesn't reign himself in, he can also get into a wee bit of trouble this way, though none would suspect this of him since he seems disinterested in everything.

:bulletwhite: Aloof :bulletwhite:
It always appears that Regan has a calm, serious and collected image that he works hard to maintain, he doesn't like to instigate arguments on purpose, and never throws the first punch.

:bulletwhite: Placid Persona :bulletwhite:
Regan comes across as generally even-tempered, not often showing extreme amounts of emotion. It's not that he's incapable of said extreme emotional outbursts, it's simply rather rare.


[ History ]

'When given power from a young age. You harness it the only way you know how to.'

Born of a prejudice and agressive race deligated between night and day, Regan was no exception to the teachings and culture of his people. His biological makeup, his parents, his very species involved becoming part of the very fabrics of the species' history that has dated back to generations. The most potent part of all teachings would be the ongoing and seemingly ever lasting vicious feud between the proud warrior Garuda and the cunning dreaded Naga that shared the Mountain of Elyssia. It was a war that Regan was to be a single grain in the stone of. He would not make any great difference or contribution. 

But then, neither side were. So in a way that was the harmony that existed between the species. They wrought on each other loss and heartbreak. Devestation even. But never did either side leave the other unable to recover. Whether this was intentional or not, it was not known or even thought about. All Garuda are supposed to be treated as equal. Whether night or day, they would be trained as soldiers from a young age. Taught to crave only the flesh of Naga and to protect each other until they uttered their last breath.

Regan fit into the cut like everyone else, he didn't question the heart of his people or the ferocity of the Naga, and like the hunter each Garuda was born to be. He would slaughter in the name of the faith he had in his people.

'Rise, you are a single feather in the wings powerful enough to reach the heavens. Alone you flitter, together you thrive.'

He accompanied his father on his first hunt when he was a boy, fifteen years old. An accurate recreational archer thanks to bonding through the sport with his father, he can remember the way his hands shook as he clutched the bow whilst his father tugged him along through the underbrush. Searching for a home that had been reported by a Day Garuda scout to be inhabited. A secret hiding place in the underbrush for the Naga to rest to escape the Garuda. 

"Draw son." His father told him, pushing an arrow that had been dipped in oil into his hand and he obeyed with perfect execution. He held the arrow then as his father struck a match. He watched him then and that anxious feeling crept back to him and the arrow shook. His father's eyes focused on his and said to him quietly, "If you're not ready. Fly home."

"No." He shook his head. Forcing his hand to steady, "I'm ready."

'Does a man's heart become weak the moment he shows a pitiful creature compassion?'

He would grow into the ways of his people all the way into nineteen years old, he was content-- even happy or proud of this life. And he was plenty old enough to hunt on his own. But he much preferred to do so with friends. With one companion he prepared for a hunt, planning to bring a whole family of Naga home to feed both of their own families. They talked about it with laughter, excitement and smiles.

The family of Naga was a father, a mother, a young Naga and a Naga egg the mother kept in a knitted pouch on her chest. And the father put up such a fight to protect his family that before Regan could plant an arrow in his skull the Naga had ripped his friend's throat open. Whilst the two died, the mother drew a sword and gave her egg to her daughter. Also ready to die for her children.

This was normal. He would prefer to have avoided the conflict but the father Naga had spotted their attempts to wait for them to fall asleep. So he had to face her. And as he did, he couldn't help but wonder how it would be if he was her. Trading blows with a stranger out to eat his children. And as he disarmed her he was faced with something he'd never been faced with before.

The usually proud Nagini begged him to leave her children in return for her and her husband's body. And as he listened to her words for once in his entire life, he questioned everything. The way she cried at his feet, he didn't even know the Naga could shed tears before now. And as he stepped away from her, distraught and distracted, she grabbed a frying pan and knocked him out.

When he awoke, the mother, the children, and his dead friend's body were gone. But he and the dead Naga were left, so his family wouldn't go hungry. He couldn't help but feel what a dark-- but strangely honourable trade had just occurred. And rather than fly, he walked home dragging the body. Left to his thoughts.
 
[ Attending the Academy ]

He was unsure how to handle his newfound doubt in his culture and traditions. And was afraid of what his family would do if he went public about his uncertainties. As he attended the funeral of the friend who he lost he couldn't help but lash out when said friend's relatives organised a vengeance mission. And for all to see he defended the actions the Naga took that resulted in the death of his friend in self-defense. He was escorted out by his very confused father, whom he confided in. His father was understanding, but still adamant of their people's ways. Which made Regan feel even more segregated. He was certain what he was feeling was something he needed to pursue, that change was needed. That he couldn't just let this keep going on. But he needed an alternative, he needed back up. And it was later that evening that he received a mysterious letter, and he had his answer.

He's quite the ambitious avarian. With a newfound drive and the desire to change the ways of his people and expand their understanding of the world and the peaceful ways for other species to come together thanks to that Nagini. And when he received a mystical letter to the notorious Legacy Academy, he saw it as the best opportunity to do so.

[ Ability(ies) / Power(s) ]

:bulletwhite: Transformation :bulletwhite:
He possesses a human, a winged and a bird form. His winged form is an extension of his human form as the only difference is the appearance of wings from his shoulder blades. His bird form is significantly smaller than a human, and he uses this form more for scouting.

:bulletwhite: Flight :bulletwhite:
He can take on a human form for the most part, but he can also bring forth wings that match the ratio of his human form to fly without having to change completely into a bird, whilst winged, he is strong enough to carry one other person whilst flying providing they aren't notably heavy. This ability is present in Winged and Bird form only.

:bulletwhite: Stealth :bulletwhite:
He's a nocturnal hunter, therefore unlike his daylight cousins, he must be quiet and quick in order to snatch up prey without alerting others of his presence, he's become rather good at it. When in bird form his significantly smaller size can also add to that. This ability is present in all forms.

:bulletwhite: Razor Feathers :bulletwhite:
His species rely on slashing techniques, thanks to a biological weapon that they're born with, the primary feathers on each wing are made of a light but extremely sharp and unblunting fibre similar to normal feathers, they cut in perfect lines like paper would, only given adept Garuda warriors can put enough force in them to sever limbs. Regan is hardly at that level, but his wings are still quite formidable. This ability is present in Winged and Bird form. In winged form he can inflict deep lacerations upon opponents though it depends vastly on the speed and momentum he can pick up (On land they're much less dangerous than in aerial battle). In bird form he can only inflict damage whilst flying, and it's less than half as dangerous as his larger Winged Human feathers, though he cannot cut through bone at this point (The exception being small bones like fingers or toes).

:bulletwhite: Archery :bulletwhite:
With keen night vision and accuracy to boot and exceptional patience and ability to find and cease opportunities it's certainly not some rarity that a Night Garuda picked up archery, Regan takes after his father, as archery was their bonding experience together whilst he grew up. This ability is present in Human and Winged form.

:bulletwhite: Snake Venom Immunity :bulletwhite:
Garuda are biologically immune to poisons, specifically venom that serpents produce. It's what make them so formidable against the Naga. This ability is present in all forms.

:bulletwhite: Eagle Eye :bulletwhite:
His eyesight much like his Eagle-esque heritage is very keen and very complex and his greatest asset, (Said to be about eight times keener than the human eye) having the ability to narrow in on things like dust particles to the point he could count them when close enough to them, as well as panning out and having 270° vision span save for the blind spot behind his head and able to see clearly for up to 2 miles (3.2km). He has accurate ability to see colours to the point he can see within the ultraviolet spectrum also like birds and unlike people. They work best in low lit scenarios like night time and complete darkness. This ability is present in all forms.

:bulletwhite: Badrpneuma :bulletwhite:
An ancient spirit magic known only by few and able to be taught to even less. A timeless affinity to the moon is required for one to become a Badrpneuma channeller and they must also possess dark magic in their veins. Regan uncovered this ability in the academy, though he has only scratched the surface on understanding and discovering what it can be used for. What he knows how to manifest with this magic so far is;

Badrpneuma Beast Bond :.
Channelling energy from the moon he bound the spirit of an ancient dead dire wolf (5'0" at the shoulder) to himself named Amarok. Amarok's body is lifeless and is an extension of Regan's mind. As if a part of his own body. Regan can feel injuries inflicted on Amarok when it is summoned. But it will not disappear unless Regan is cut off from the moon (when the night ends) or if an injury is inflicted upon Regan himself that draws blood, which will act as a fatal blow to Amarok, Regan can also dissipate Amarok himself. It can only be summoned once a night. And its ailments will be healed the next night. He can speak through Amarok's beast form, and if he closes his eyes he can see through Amarok's eyes, which also possesses the exact same blue Eagle Eyes as him as well as utilise Amarok's incredibly keen sense of smell. As a spirit wolf Amarok can also inflict physical damage upon an incorporeal/intangible being unlike Regan.

[ Items / Belongings ]

:bulletwhite: Compound Bow :bulletwhite:
An ambidextrous compound bow with visual patterns lining it under a UV light normally set to 65lbs but capable of being adjusted to 140lbs (though Regan can shoot it at 110lbs.) He doesn't carry this on his person often unless hunting or shooting targets as a hobby, but it's rather precious to him.

:bulletwhite: Hunting Knife :bulletwhite:
More often hidden on his person than not, he hasn't quite lowered his guard around others outside of his own kind. So he's hardly gonna trust that he's completely safe.

[ Weakness(es)/Downside(s)/ Allergies/ Health Concern(s) ]

:bulletwhite: Light :bulletwhite:
Sunlight when not watered down like moon reflections or through glass tends to exhaust him, like it's draining his energy. And it also clouds his vision as his eyes are incredibly sensitive.

:bulletwhite: Mortality :bulletwhite:
He cuts, he bleeds, and he dies like any living organism.

:bulletwhite: Downside to his Wings :bulletwhite:
In Winged Form his wings whilst they are the only part of him that can regenerate even when severed completely, it takes days-- even months for them to do so when destroyed. He'll only know he can bring forth his wings again thanks to the marking similar to his face and shoulder marking (in the shape of wings on his back and shoulderblades) which will disappear when his wings are completely severed and "heal" via reappearing. For he cannot bring them forth from the marking when it's not there or fully developed.

:bulletwhite: Nocturnal :bulletwhite:
Whilst he is active and can see perfectly at night, he cannot function during the day without being a beyond sleepy lifeless drone if he doesn't pass out.

:bulletwhite: Bird Form :bulletwhite:
Even though he's much quicker in his bird form, he's just as fragile as a bird of his size when he's in this form and cannot use his bow like he can in his other forms, needing to rely on his primary feathers and talons.

[ Tidbits ]

-His headphones were broken and had to be thrown away. 

-He loves the taste of fish and chicken.

-His most potent hobbies are archery and cooking.

-When transforming his body becomes engulfed in blue and black "flames" that obstruct his form whilst it shifts. Though these are not actual flames at all, for they don't generate smoke, or burn, or even provide any warmth.

-He has a super obsession with music. Not composing it. Just listening to it. 

-He puts a feather in his hair from time to time.

-His eyebrows are a matching gradient to his hair, starting black in the middle and fading to light grey-blue on the outer corners.

-He likes to layer his clothing.

-His voice reference is Cryaotic on Youtube.

-He's a bird, so he has a naturally good singing voice. He just never uses it. ( Bright Lights by 30 Seconds to Mars. )
