Description
Name: Novail Tellens
Age: 25
Height: HalfBreed- 6ft Beast- 10ft
Monster type/species Description: (Will have a new better desc later T^T) Feral Griffebs, Griffebs was a failed attempt to combine a loyal Cerberus with a fearsome Griffon. It is rumored these tests were inhumane and forced harsh genetic mutation in the offspring.
However, enough were created to harbor a small population, which soon scattered into ‘packs’, or as locals of any area they live in say- tribes.
These ‘Tribes’ have adopted Half Breed forms, taking the appearance further of a Harpy or even close to a beginning werewolf.. How they have managed these forms is currently unknown. It’s rumored that perhaps more then just Cerberus and Griffons were used in this experiment- Looking for the perfect war machine to guard the gates.
Regarding a Griffebs environment- it’s important to settle them in aviary dominate ecosystems. As they seem to thrive against winged pray, and sometimes almost seeming to ‘command’ these birds through a song.
Due to this seem of ease and servitude, Griffebs if not challenged, tend to gain weight- which causes pain in joints, as well as the typical diseases of diabetes in dogs.
Griffebs who have been socialized with humans can be observed creating ‘health’ regimens. Often consisting of forced foraging or long chases and hunts, of their own ‘Tribe Mates.

SKILLS
Major Skills:
Bird Song- Used to lure other avian species into helping, or ‘serving’ a Griffeb
Tier 1- Aviarans within hearing range of the song, will feel a gentle pull, a small want to help the Griffeb. Often in bringing food, or other items to it.
However this creature is not forced to obey. [impossible for tier 1 birds not to hear it]
Half Breed- Griffebs may turn into a more humanized form, keeping their tails and their heads often turning to plated armor on their shoulders.
Beast’s Strength- Bearing the strong limbs and jaws of Griffons and Cerberi, Griffebs bare these attributes as well, using them well in territorial fights.
Tier 1- Strong jaws and limbs may be used, being stronger than a typical wolf- Those unprepared are bound to be harmed. [Works against Tier Defense 1]
Minor Skills:
Night Stalker- With Canine eye's he can see in natural dark light
Tier 1- Is affected by Magic and cannot see in pure darkness
Predatory Gaze- Eyes of the birds of prey, allow him to see enemies from far distances
Tier 1- He can see a candle flicker 55m away (Humans can only see from 30, if in dark light).
Slooth Sniffer- With a Canine nose, Griffebs can track scents for hundreds of miles
Personality: Novail is extremely friendly.. sometimes to the point it's suspisious. Often food will turn up msising as well as shiny items. But don't ask Novail- he totally doesn't know what happened!!
Though despite being sneaky and a bit cheaky, he has no problem flirting with those he finds strong or cute. Used to getting what he wants.. so he seems spoiled.
Character's Background: Novail was found after his tribe was run out due to deforestation. Small and lost, a bioligist in charge of a nearby Aviary took him in.. little did she know, He was going to be her biggest discovery- and secret.
As he grew and learned, used his humanoid form more and more, she began teaching him how to care for the birds. Allowing him to have a job there, while teaching him more of languages and society..
He got used to it.. untill she approached him with a letter and watery eyes.
A school for monsters? Interesting..
Roleplay Info:
Roleplay example: Novail snickered softly at the discorce outside his room. Someone has stolen 10 bags of potato chips.. 10!!
Well.. yeah that someone was him, but they didn't need to know that. He was content as he chomped away at the first bag, his tail waving with delight. Man he could get used to these idiots...
Discord nickname: Dragon-Burn [Zeke]
Roleplay Schedule: I tend to reply the same day, but am very slow on weekdays. Weekends is the best bet.
