Name: Shayliino Neruff Race: Lupegryph, like a gryffin only the lion part is replaced by wolf. Though sentient, the vast majority of them arent very smart and therefore sometimes "employed" by humans as transportation. Its rumored that at one time they were the most intellegent race on the planet but long ago something happened to them to make them little more than beasts of burden. Gender: Male Age: 3 1\2 (equivalent to humans age 9, they live to be in their 20s at most) Appearance: Like all Lupegryphs, he has a wolf head and body/back legs, eagle talons for the front paws that end about midway up into feathers that blend with the fur, long eagle wings and a feathered wolf tail. His fur is pure black with the exception of a dark silver stripe down his side and the feathers on him are pure white. Has strange, almost human looking blue eyes.
From their shoulder to the ground they are typically 5 foot, but since he is just a child his shoulder only comes up to around 4 foot. Mainly a quadruped but they can sit up on their back paws easily if need be. Clothing and Gear: He does wear some sort of clothing, brown shorts that allow for movement and a hole for his tail (he has dignity you know!) and he has a pack hes secured to his back to carry around his handheld computer, analyzing equipment and binocular/molecular/holographic goggles. Wears the translator he made himself on his wrist, and a sort of harness around his neck which he uses to pull his hovercraft transport. He keeps a mini lab in there as well as many books. Personality: Is not only intellegent for his age, but also for his race. He breezes through mathmatics and sciences of all kinds, has been through medical college already (it only took him 2 months) and has a firm grasp on technology, computers and how to build things.
Has begun to study into his race's apparent lack of intellegence, believing that somehow humans have caused it to happen. Though he doesnt hate humans for it, he just wants to be able to converse with his own kind. Feels like hes not accepted anywhere due to the fact that hes not human and he cant meaningfully communicate with members of his own kind. Mostly mellow, he rarely if ever lets anything bother him outwardly, and hes very into his studies, not knowing much about social interactions and the like. History: He was born to ordinary Lupegryph parents, but it was apparent from early on that he was something different. He showed curiousity in the "Why" of things from early on, and even learned sign language when he was only a week old. Seeing this, his parents keepers sent him to school like a human child, where for a while he was brutally teased.
Rather than allow himself to become upset, he pitied the human children instead, and soon demonstrated that his knowledge of things far exceeded theirs. This caused the majority of children to leave him alone, while some still believed he was just a stupid animal. Eventually he came to private study, and was often seen at the library or with a book or two outside. Lives currently in the college he pretty much grew up in and spends his time inventing things and studying. Talents: Knows sign language and is like Macgyver when it comes to building things with technology. Very intellegent and of course can fly.
