Aarakocra

A noble race of humanoid birds, Aarakocras are not native to the @Material Plane, nor have they inhabited it as long as most of the other, more "common" races. Even so, their innate ability to fly and the grand adaptability they showed throughout heir evolution on their adoptive Plane following the @Fist Isolation earned them quite the position among the other races.
Their cities' riches and treasures of knowledge as well as architecture are a unique kind. It is not everyone who can boast of cities hanging between giants trees and cliffs, or flying above the sands, perched on the slopes of mountains or floating on the High Seas. These few magnificent cities, however, are their only permanent settlement of note as opposed to the other races' many villages and towns. The rare Aarakocras who purely do not live in those cities mostly retain their nomadic roots, but even those who live in those marvels often spend varying length of times away, wherever the wind currents may carry their wings.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Similar to other humanoid species, Aarakocras are particularily remeniscent of the likes of humans and elves in their general body shape. They are, however, also the proud owners of wings and their legs bend like thos of a bird. They also feature various plumage and a beak, their general appearance depending on their particular subrace.

Genetics and Reproduction

Mixing subraces

The interbreeding of various subraces of Aarakocras usually simply results in offsprings presenting mostly characteristics from their mother's side, though this isn't always 100% true.

Human - Aarakocra breeding

The rare cases of Aarakocra-human breeding usually yielded purely Aarakocran children, though every so often they produce a flightless hybrid, with atrophied wings, tattered or missing feathers and/or difform features. This occurrence is rare, but seems more common when the mother is the human mate.

Elf - Aarakocra breeding

Such issues aren't encountered with the more common mating of an Aarakocra and an Elf, which willl always yield an Avariel.

Subraces:

  Aerials, natives of the Plane of Air   Bird of Prey   Scavenger
