[b]Name:[/b] Jaxilian of House Darkstorm, a/k/a Jax

[b]Age:[/b] 128

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Sexual Orientation:[/b] Heterosexual (In that he likes lady ravens.)

[b]Species:[/b] Corvinian

[indent]Corvinians are one of many anthromorph races found on planet Zoologica. They are not anthropomorphic; rather, all races on that planet are true anthromorphs. Their bone structure is a blend of human and animal, but they do not have full animal or full human forms that they can change into. Most of the anthromorphs on Zoologica have no magical, psychic, or other supernatural sort of talent. They differ only from humans in only two ways: their natural lifespan (which can reach as high as 300 years), and that they may have fur on their lower appendages, with hooves instead of feet. Or, as in Jax’s case, they may have the head of a bird, covered in silky black feathers, and huge dark wings sprouting from their back.[/indent]

[b]Mental Illness:[/b] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posttraumatic_stress_disorder]PTSD[/url] and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_schizophrenia]Paranoid Schitzophrenia[/url]

[b]History:[/b]

[indent]Jaxilian was 74 years old when all his training finally paid off and he was accepted into the guard of a Royal Avian house, and given the distinguished position of guarding the eldest princess. That particular house, House Auri, were golden sparrows. The princess Jax watched over was named Candira, petite and lovely with her short sharp beak and glimmering feathers. A mere eight months after he assumed her as a charge, Jax was standing nearby when an attempt was made on Candira’s life. Jax called a powerful storm to stop the attack… but unwittingly blew over a tree which crushed Candira and directly caused her death. The event was traumatic enough to cause Jax to suffer a schizophrenic break and develop PTSD. His delusion was always to see Candira somewhere, and to see her being trailed by assailants. He killed forty eight innocent people while lost in the shadows of his damaged mind. The villagers wanted him dead, but the Sparrow King sent his ruined servant to Osmond’s Instead.[/indent]

[b]Personality:[/b]

[indent]Jax is, as he was before Candira’s death, rather stoic and withdrawn. Being both hypervigilant and a bird anthromorph, Jax is constantly looking at everything. It makes him seem twitchy and distracted when he attempts to have conversations. That being said, it also makes him quite observant. He is suspicious of new people, but he is a true and loyal friend to the few he does let inside his walls.[/indent]

[b]Appearance:[/b]

[indent]Jaxilian is tall: six foot three from the top of his birdlike head to his heels. His head is exactly what you’d expect: a raven. Black beak, black feathers, black eyes that seem pupilless. From the neck to the waist he looks human. His torso is built like a heavy-weight fighter, and in his natural state he is covered in feathers from hip to mid-thigh. His legs are thick and well-muscled, mostly humanoid except for the large, black, four-toed feet with sharp claws on the end of each digit. Jax’s wingspan is nearly fifteen feet across when his feathery appendages are stretched and ready for flight. If his head and feet were humanoid, the wings would make him seem like an angel instead of a bird. Folded, their curved tops end two feet above his head and the lowermost feathers become dirty from being dragged on the ground. 

His waist-area feathers have been plucked to allow Jax to wear normal pants, and his scrub top has velcro on the back so it can be put on around his wings.[/indent]

[b]Capabilities:[/b]

[indent]Jax is supernatural for a Corvinian in that he is a talented storm elemental. (It runs in his family.) This means that he is able to magically control the natural elements linked with a storm: rain/snow/fog, lightning and thunder, winds and air pressure. Yes, he can fire off a bolt of lightning. Yes, he can create a tornado indoors (though that is a difficult feat and Jax does not always succeed). He is also more physically powerful than a standard Corvinian, likely due to the enhanced energies he gains from being a magic-user.

Jax wears three slim, golden bands: one around his throat at the exact point where it transitions from bird to human anatomy, and one around each of his wrists. These are magical limiters, plain on the outside but with inscriptions within against his skin. They keep him from being able to produce anything more than the occasional wind gust or… unfortunately… bolt of lightning.[/indent]

[b]Fears:[/b] Small spaces (claustrophobia)

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b]

[indent]Jax has formed a close bond with one of his fellow patients, an incredibly powerful telekinetic named Cadence. Physically she reminds him of Candira (without the birdlike features, of course) and their names even sound similar. He has transferred some of his psychosis onto Cadie as well, often suffering delusions that the staff are out to get her, or trying to poison her. Fortunately, Cadie’s particular brand of crazy does not dispose her to either hallucinations or delusions, and she’s become quite adept at talking Jax down when he starts to become paranoid for her safety.[/indent]
