I’d love to hear about your bird guys!!! :D

tumblr is tripping balls today. also hi I got Wildly distracted midway through writing this. which is news to absolutely no one ajdbsjdbsj apologies

Bird dudes! (Context,) I’m homebrewin a big ol DnD campaign for a couple people (this is the Kunirn stuff I occasionally post about), the Bird Dudes are part of it ajdbsj. The two characters imma briefly yap about are gonna feature as NPCs but as of right now are essentially blorbos. I’m gon put this under a cut this is gonna be a long ass post lmao

The Bird Dudes are a homebrew race- I’ll dig up some sketches at some point, but vulture + harpy inspired (big fuckers, native to desert regions, wings + arms conjoined, and neck fluff n shit. because there was precisely no one around to stop me when I made that decision.)

Just to explain the words for the species, seeing as they’re taken directly from a conlang from Kunirn:

Feminine: krikǔ (singular)/krikǔu (plural)

Masculine: krili (singular)/krilip (plural)

Neuter: krikhǔ (singular)/krikhe (plural)

(The neuter form being used either to describe a group made up of multiple genders or group/individual that isn’t a man or woman. Gender fucky bird dudes are a big ol canon thing.)

Like I said I currently have 2 krikhe NPCs, Kik (he/xey) and B’âor (it/he). I’ll only give a summary n try not to go too much into the worldbuilding else we. Will be here all day. (Fun fact! Whilst both are masc leaning in some capacity, both are a krikhǔ)

Kik is a priest within Ækich’s (god(dess) of, amongst other things, souls) temple. He’s fairly low ranking and fairly young (equivalent of a human 24-ish year old), a good chunk of what xey do is treating the sick within the city (Rurlek) xey’re in. He’s essentially a cleric- fairly frequent magic user (the temple also does shite around translating texts, interpreting/aiding troubling dreams, etc. For the most part stuff related to communication n better connecting people), and dedicates the majority of his time to Ækich. Xey’re a tiny bit pathetic (affectionate). A sad lad. Wont go into much more with him bcs one of my players (hi lad) might see this ajdhsidj, if I give more details in another post I’ll properly spoiler warn it.

B’âor is a part of a travelling commune, (Khe Shumakhgo, though it’s often shortened to Shekhe since individual members started being called Ekhe). Again without going into to much detail because This Post Is Long Enough Already, they trade materials and information in exchange for food and/or shelter (in both directions). The group tend to travel and pick up people as they go, much of the commune is made up of outlaws, pilgrims, etc. B’âor, during canon being one of the older and longer standing members, has essentially ended up in an organisational position. And a bit of a dad. In my notes I refer to it as Dad Bird half the time ajfbsjdb.

This is incredibly rambly. And not even slightly proofread. But ajfbsjdb if you want any elaboration lemme know! I love bird dudes <3333

You. You get it.

I fear I’ve cursed myself with Can’t Let My Own Damn Characters Have A Happy Ending Even Slightly and it’s bleeding into my SP fuckers too
