The Raven Archer
~Aviara~
Name: Aviara (av-ee-AIR-ah) (prefers to be called Avi)
Age: 25
Race: Harpy
Gender: Female
Hair: Black and long
Eye Color: Silver
Weight: 125 lbs (aren’t bird people light?)
Height: 5’9”
Relationship Status: She loves the awesome Desquode. (One of BrokenWing's characters)
Family: Vitani (sister)
Weapon: A bow and quiver of arrows, plus clawed feet and hands.
Armor: None.
Strengths: Avi, having two main weapons, can attack from both the ground and in the air, since she can fly. She uses her bow on the ground and her claws while soaring in the sky. Her claws are very sharp and are capable of cutting through even the toughest material. Avi also has the ability to make her claws grow longer, ultimately making them her strongest weapon. She can also use her wings to create wind to slow down her enemy.
Weaknesses: If Avi stays on the ground, she becomes very vulnerable to sword attacks due to having no way of defending herself, so using her bow against a swordsman would be a problem. Because she is a bird creature, Avi is weak to electricity as well. Arrows may also cause massive damage if the archer has extremely good aim and hits Avi enough times.
Skills/Magic: Avi has a variety of skills she uses in battle, but no magic. She can make her claws grow longer instantly as mentioned before. Here's a list of her skills. They vary depending on which of her weapons is used to do a skill.
- Double Claw - A double strike with the claws on Avi's hands both grown to their maximum length.
- Wind Tunnel - Using her wings, Avi can create a tunnel of wind to slow down her opponents.
- Bird Bomb - After growing all of her claws to their maximum length, Avi can dive bomb into her opponent from the air.
- Wind Arrow - Once Avi has created a Wind Tunnel, she can shoot arrows through it to make them Wind Arrows, which fly faster and farther than normal ones.
In addition to this, Avi can use all her claws to climb buildings, cliffs, walls, and more to get out of her opponent's reach, and she can use the claws on her hands almost like swords.
Appearance: Avi is a rather pretty young Harpy. Her long, black hair flows down to the middle of her back. She has a pair of wings attached to her arms made of elegant gray and black feathers. Her brown quiver hangs at her back on a bandoleer she wears across her chest. The bow she wields is silver and navy. The only clothing she wears on her bare, gray skin is an outfit similar in appearance to a two-piece sleeveless bathing suit that is navy and dark purple in color with a long lavender skirt flowing behind her. Avi wears nothing on her feet.
Here is a picture, though it needs colored. Drawn by me. :3
Carried Items/Accessories:
- Feather Pendant - A black feather shaped pendant that belonged to Avi's sister. Avi found it during her search to locate her and wears it around her neck.
Personality: If there’s one thing Avi can’t stand, it’s people who brag. If someone brags to her enough times, she’ll be quite annoyed. She also hates it when people try to be better than her. Avi could care less about how much better or worse she is than other people, only about succeeding. She hates losing or being called a loser, so she often has a hard time being a good sport. Thus, she has always sought to train the hardest she can. Avi is generally kind as well, but trigger her harsh reactions to things like bragging and especially being called a loser, and you’re in for trouble.
Biography: Avi was born in a small Harpy village that resided on a mountain. The mountain was tall and away from the likes of humans, so the Harpies that lived there had no true enemies…except for the mountain itself. Little did they know, that the mountain was really a dormant volcano.
When Avi was young, she enjoyed playing outside with her friends. The village was very peaceful at this time and the Harpy residents would each year mate and produce young at their nests. Avi was 3 years old when her little sister, Vitani, was born. As they both grew older, they got along great. They were more like friends rather than sisters.
When Avi was 14, her father taught her the art of hunting. He gave her a silver and navy bow for her birthday and a quiver of arrows. Avi was taught how to hunt for food and wild game. She eventually grew skilled enough with the bow to hunt on her own. Avi always enjoyed hunting and planned to keep doing so. Vitani was also taught to hunt later on and the two went on hunting sprees together.
One day, however, when Vitani and Avi were on one of their usual hunting trips, Avi at 19 and Vitani at 16, they were chasing after a wild rabbit. It led them to a cave in the woods and disappeared. Suddenly, a human appeared from the cave, holding some kind of potion. The girls thought he was probably a lost hiker, but he was really a medicine man living on the mountain without the Harpies knowing. The man said he was starving and would offer them a gift if they gave him some food. The girls politely agreed and gave him some of the meat they had with them. The man started walking towards them to give them their reward, but he tripped over a twig and dropped the potion he was holding and splashed the girls’ hands and feet.
They both started feeling weird. Their hands and feet were twitching like they never had before. Then minutes later, it stopped. Avi lifted up her hand and watched her claws grow long and then short right before her eyes. She could do the same with her feet. Apparently the potion was some kind of medicine for humans, but had a different effect on Harpies.
Both Avi and Vitani gasped at the sight of their newly gained power. Being able to control the growth of their claws meant they could be used as a fierce weapon. They headed back to the village to tell their folks what had happened without a thought of getting their reward from the medicine man. They were both filled with excitement.
However, when they returned to tell their folks, something didn’t seem right. The ground started shaking and an explosion was heard coming from the top of the mountain. The volcano was erupting after being dormant for over a hundred years. The Harpies all tried to escape by flying away, but the lava and rock were too quick. Rocks and lava spat everywhere, making it impossible for a lot of them to even escape from their nests. Some were buried beneath the rock while others were burned by the lava.
Avi and Vitani flew off into the sky, attempting to escape. Their parents had already perished in the disaster along with the rest of the village. Suddenly, a rock flew above the volcano and hit Vitani’s arm. It broke her bone right in two as she yelped at the pain. Vitani began to fall back down to the mountain since she couldn’t fly with only one good wing. Avi gasped and caught her before she could hit the ground and flew as far away from the mountain as possible.
As she flew farther and farther, Avi gradually descended, as she was feeling weak and much in pain herself because of the smoke coming from the volcano, which was still in sight. Avi hit the ground with her sister and collapsed into unconsciousness. Smoke continued to flood the entire area surrounding the volcano.
A couple hours later, Avi awoke to find her sister had disappeared. She wandered around the mountain for days and days searching for her, thinking she may have wandered off. As she continued her search, her birthday came around yet again, making her 20. Soon enough, Avi decided her sister was no where to be found near their demolished home and set off on adventure. With five years had gone by since the disaster now, a 25-year-old Avi continues her journey in search for her missing sister.
