There are many races of avionese (suggestions allowed)
none of these races can fly, this is because of thier human size. each race has it's specific skills.

The Hawkortons(ha-court-ons), omnivores, a race of parrot like people that skill themselves in weaving and elemental magic. They wear hooded robes that indicate thier family, males are green and have 2 or four decorative feathers on thier heads (behind where the ears would be, each feather is the same color ) that can be either red, white, red and white (in a pattern), and blue(which is rare). They can wear only armor that has a woven pattern to them such as cloth, woven leather, chainmail, and scale mail. Their first level spell is Feather Bolt.

The Krown (crow-n), carnivores, a race of crow like people that skill themselves in archery and cooking. They have long tufts of feathers covering thier bodies like cloaks. Thier feathers are black and they can see better at night, unlike most of the avionese they do not have decorative feathers. They can only wear light armor i.e. cloth and leather, but they also gain specialized hide armors. This is due to their tufts of feathers. Thier first level skill is Sure shot.

The Pengu (pen-gu), carnivores, a race of penguin like people they are shorter than the other races of avionese. They skill themselves in diplomacy and fighting as well as rune magic. They like to wear coats. They can wear any armor but they become slower if it is too heavy, they also cant swim with heavy armor. They are black and white and males have yellow decoration feathers on the eyebrow region of their face. Their first ability is Blind Swing.

The Oowlon (ooo-wl-on), carnivores, a race of owl like people that skill themselves in medicine and education. They sometimes wear capes but most live nude, with thick feathers. They, like the Krown can see at night. Thier decoration feathers are patterend on the area of horns (like the horned owl). They can wear all kinds of armor. Their first level spell is Healing Glow

The Apresno (ah-pres-no), omnivores, a race of emu/ostrich like people that are skilled in running and close quarters combat. They are also known to be nude, they believe clothes make them slower. They are brown and black and have decorative tail and head feathers that appear in yellow, red, or orange, they can wear only special armor. When an Apresno does not attack, it increases its speed score. increased speed decreases accuracy but increases attack, initiative and evasiveness. Speed also effects, and is effected by abilities. Their first level ability is Fury Peck

The Paradines (pair-a-deens), herbivores, a race that resembles Birds of paradise,they are skilled in acrobatics and home making as well as light manipulation. They wear clothes that compliment their colors and prefer shiny objects. The decortion feather of a paradine is a color that "pops" from their already bright color scheme which is any color. They can wear leather armor, chain armor, and specialized armors. They start with an initial armor bonus. Their first level ability is Quick Dodge.

The Docken (dock-en), omnivores, a race of Duck like people that are skilled in sailing/fishing and medium range weapons (staves and spears, etc) as well as various water magics. Like the Pengu, they can swim, however, they cannot dive. These Avionese wear vests and jackets usually. The male's decoration is thier heads which can be green, yellow, or blue. Most of their other feathers are white, brown, or black. They can wear any armor but prefer leather.

The Falcortons (Fal-court-ons), carnivores, a race of Falcon like people that are skilled in hunting and short range weapons (like tomahawks, and knives) as well as wind magics. They like headwear and gain an armor bonus with helmets. The Decoration feathers are on their backs though they are designed for camoflauge, can be black, green, or white. Their primary feathers are brown. They can wear any armor.

Peaken (Pee-ken), Omnivores, a race of Avionese resembling peafowl (peacocks) that specialize in weapon and shield combat as well as a variety of primitive ranged weaponry and also farming. Warriors wear headdresses made from their tail feathers in order to enhance their display as well as a means of intimidation towards the animals they hunt. Decoration feathers accumulate from the tail using blues and greens in color as well as the head and neck being signified by a blue color and a darker blue pattern across their eyes in the shape of a mask. They wear any armor, but cannot wear helmets.

Ravelon, carnivores, are always rejected from society, and are found everywhere. They are beggars, born too weak to do anything of use, but rarely, there will be one who is skilled enough to steal food and feed him or herself. In these cases, the Ravelon are fierce fighters, willing to use anything, regardless if they're proficient with it or not. Due to their small frames they have slight gliding skills.

Currios, carnivores, A vulture-like species. They are naturally skilled at being stealthy, and they make close to no noise. They can feast on raw/rotten meat, unlike other Avionese, so they have more food available to them. They also grow hungrier quicker, so they have to eat a bit more often. They can only wear light armor, like cloth or leather, as heavier armor makes too much noise and weighs them down.
They are a bit large, and their beak is larger than most Avionese. Their beak is usually black, or dark gray. Their head is mostly featherless, and are usually either white or black skinned. Most of their feathers are brown or black, including their complementary feathers, although their complementary features may be white or gray.

All females of any race do not have decorative feathers and are either white, black, brown or grey.

(suggestions welcome)
other than the skills that are dictated by your race, you can choose one extra skill

STURDY- you have more health and have an armor bonus. (Not allowed for Peaken or Falcortons)

STEALTHY-you can sneak behind enemies, you are less likely to get noticed during a camp raid. (Not allowed for Paradines, Hawkortons, Peaken, and Apresno) (recommended for Currios and Krown)

BEASTTAMER- you are able to train a single pet, you can get another when it dies, it can help with many situations. (Not allowed for Apresno, Currio, and Pengu) (Recommended for Krown)

RESOURCEFUL- you can find food when camping, you also loot more items than others. (Allowed for all races)

LUCKY- you survive one fatal attack once per encounter, you also get rarer loot, but you loot less items than others. (Allowed for all races)

BEZERKER- your attack is multiplied by two during a camp raid or at low health. (Not allowed for Hawkortons or Oowlons) (Recommended for Docken and Pengu)

INSOMNIAC- you stand watch when camping, decreasing chance of a camp raid, you also don't tire out as easy as the rest. (Not allowed for Apresno, Peaken, Docken and Hawkortons) (recommended for Oowlons and Krown)

RESEARCHER- you can depict the meaning behind mysterious objects and writing/symbols, you also receive Hints for puzzles (allowed for all races)

PERSUASIVE- whether it be wit, charm, or sleight of tongue, you have the ability to convince merchants of a price in your favor. You are also able to get more helpful advice from those more reserved than others (allowed for all races)

SPRINTER- character has the ability to perform a run action and another action in the first turn of combat (Not allowed for Apresno) (recommended for Falcortons

You automatically start with a starter racial weapon and clothing, (you may have accessories which have no advantage)
Additional equipment, choose only one, remember to be intuitive with these items, you can do many things than what is listed!

Combat is turn based and dice based (all rolls made by myself)
Turns are sorted based on initiative, a value assigned to each race/creature. When making your move you may choose to attack, use a spell/ability, use an item, make a creative action, defend, gain speed, or do nothing.

When attacking you may choose which weapon to use (if your weapon requires ammunition, keep track of it or you will run out and have to use another weapon. or you may use your talons or pecking (2-4 damage (1d3+1)).

Using spells and abilities. All races have different abilities/spells and will gain a new one each level up. I will describe these Spells and Abilities upon Level up, and will post them in a section on the OP as well. Know that spells and abilities use "charges" this is the amount you can use these abilities/spells per battle, these can be recharged by multiple means but mainly by camping. Not all spells/abilities have charges. I would like to also note that not all spells and abilities can be used in confined spaces, it doesn't make sense to summon meteors when you are in a cramped dungeon hallway.

Using items: Items, including starting equipment, quest items, purchased items, potions, environmental items (such as a rock) can be used to attack or become part of a creative action.

Creative actions: typically involving environment, creative actions are entirely based on the player/character's inventiveness and improvisation. This can include: digging holes, construction, crafting, etc.
As well as creative actions with abilities, such as using fire on water to create a mist. Creative actions can be made both inside and outside of battle.

Defending: Defending increases your chance to parry by +1, if you have a shield, this increases your Armor Value by 1. You may also defend an ally, making one attack change targets to you instead of your ally.

Running: Running gives you a speed stat of 1 which increases your evasion by 1 and decreases your accuracy by 1, as well as increasing your initiative by 1. Apresno gain an attack multiplier as they increase in speed. For most Avionese speed caps out at 3, but for Apresno, this is capped at 10. Speed decreases by 1 upon taking damage.

Doing nothing is just that, doing nothing. This action is taken by default if you do not respond during combat.

When in combat, I will gather all character actions before starting the turn. In which I post the results.

If you cannot post an action during combat for some reason (real world stuff) feel free to ask a friend, another player, or myself to take temporary control of that character, if you do not ask anyone to control your character, another player may ask permission to control your character.

Upon reaching a certain experience level, you will level up, every time you do you will learn a new spell or ability based on your race (for now it's linear, but in a future installment I may create skill trees/branching paths) and every 5 levels you will unlock the next weapon and armor levels

The first Avion Archipelago was the story about a party of Avionese lead by the now famous Hawkorton Fenix Testa. They traveled to La Isla del Concord and solved its mysteries revealing the Lost ones, a group of subhumans that lived on the Archipelago before the Avionese did, they have been reduced to crazed savages which have no chance of returning to normal society. The group disbanded but Fenix continued to adventure by traveling to far off lands. He returned to be rich and famous. He currently governs the Eastern Islands of the Archipelago.

The Avion Archipelago is in The Sheyfaric Ocean, an ocean that connects to other dimensions by their oceans. This is how Fenix travelled to other lands. Spanish conquistadors from colonial times travelled here and are now stuck here because they missed the window of time to return to earth. They are known to live on a desert island that is very far from the Archipelago, but the true prize is the Archipelago due to its rich minerals and land.
There have been several expeditions and expansion attempts on the Archipelago, their last attempt was by force, many Avionese died because of this, the Avionese are very cautious and suspicious of Humans. The attack has also caused an issue about the human invention of firearms. It is a controversial topic and The vast majority of the Avionese were against them, as a result, use of human firearms are forbidden. There are still many unexplored islands out there

I am aware that the actual latinization of bird is Avian

If you find this roleplay "limited" here's some information.

When in the game, you will start with a population of 10,000. From there, your race will need to accept their new surroundings and begin building a village. You will need to harvest resources first before you start building. When you are building, you may discover new things and want to learn more about them by researching them. All of these things take time to accomplish, so put the amount of turns(months) you find appropriate to do such an action. Traveling also takes a month per hex.
A post may go as follows:
Current event
:Resource collection: ?/?
Events related*:
Building construction: ?/?
Events related*:
Research: ?/?
Research notes:
*not required

If you can't think of anything to fit the current events, tell a story about a villager, this is after all, a roleplay.If you find a race to communicate with, the two players are not affected by the post rule. The post rule, however, you cannot make progress if you are making communication posts. To add extra cultural value you can use acronym BBCode to show your language, and translate what you mean. For example: Vilo pelm oot pokwet Note the dotted line underneath the text and hover over it with your cursor (does not work on mobile)

Biology: (describe external and internal biology; appearance)
Physiology: (describe natural functions of your race, I.e. Swimming, leaping, flying, running, endurance, or strength)
