Takaa
Takaa of the White Wings
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Lanky, yet toned. Most of his muscular features, if any, are obscured by the plumage that covers almost all of his body. His preference to use firearms over melee weapons suits this.
Body Features
10 ft. Wingspan, taloned fingertips and toes, and a large beak. All features typical of an Aarakocra.
Facial Features
Unscarred, and kept well.
Identifying Characteristics
He's a bright white bird, with guns equipped on too many places.
Physical quirks
Claustrophobia. Whenever he gets the chance, he spreads his wings and flies. Walking is second-rate.
Special abilities
Aside from a 17mph top speed, he is a good shot with a firearm, be it small or long. Takaa has also began creating new technologies, granted by his revelation into Articiferhood.
Apparel & Accessories
The large brimmed hat he always wears, no matter the weather. Typically adorned with a bright plume. Also carries a harmonica on a chain, around his neck.
The rest of his outfit consists of darkly colored, studded leather. The only thing that stands out amongst the deep blues and blacks, are the shine of his buttons and guns.
Specialized Equipment
Specialized gunsmith and gunslinger. Tools of his trade, born out of necessity.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born and raised in the White Wings Tribe, east of Ascent, Takaa was a naturally curious Aarakocra. His curiosity of the outside world led him to be one of the few of his tribe to explore the other cities and towns that laid below the tribe's mountainous home.
Following a string of unsuccessful ventures as a bounty hunter, a clockwork mechanic, and a gunsmith, Takaa revisited his roots and began bounty hunting in Outcrop.

Straight. Prefers Aarakocran women.

No formal education, but after spending 10 years among humans, he has no issues understanding, reading, and writing Common.
Employment
Self-employed. One of the original founders of the Skyguard.

Failures & Embarrassments
Classified
Mental Trauma
His tribe, the White Wings, were eradicated while he was out bounty hunting.
The major slaughter of Outcrop's other defenders has also left Takaa shaken.
Intellectual Characteristics
With the departure of Finnegan, one of the intellectually smartest of the group, but not the most charismatic in social encounters. He knows his way around a variety of weapons and tech.
Morality & Philosophy
Ironically, despite being a gun toting soldier, not everyone has to die in his eyes. Guns are just a means to an end, an end Takaa tries to avoid.
Those unable to help themselves deserve mercy, and monsters who prey on those folk deserve vengeance.
People deserve a second chance. If you don't give them that chance, you don't deserve it either.
Taboos
Killing without purpose, harming without cause, and vengeance without reason. All of these things has Takaa experienced, and have been sworn off until the day he dies.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To do right in the world, especially when there is so much wrong. Takaa has had his fair share of wrongs, it's time to atone.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Good shot, and a good tinkerer. Shame that's basically all he knows.
Likes & Dislikes
Likes justice, and doing the right thing by others.
Dislikes lawbreakers, and those who exploit others for their own gain.
Has grown fond of the friends he's made along the way, even the ones who could use a little more discipline.
Virtues & Personality perks
Had a good mentor, and even better friends to set him straight. Battle-hardened and battle-ready, 24/7.
Vices & Personality flaws
Not the best judge of character. Prone to giving mercy to those that perhaps should've wound up dead.
Personality Quirks
One of the not-so-strong, but quiet types. Prefers to let his actions do the talking.
Likes to go fast and stay up high.
Hygiene
Tries to bathe when he can. Gotta keep those white feathers looking good.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Plenty of people met and known, but very little contact. Takaa at the moment is remedying that.
Family Ties
None anymore.
Religious Views
Where were the Turvin gods when I needed them, when my people needed them, when Outcrop needed them? Things were better when the old gods were around...
Social Aptitude
Not the easiest to socialize with. Very blunt, and speaks his mind more plainly than he should. Likely unintentional, but it's not uncommon for him to say something a little racy.
Mannerisms
Befitting a gunslinger, he speaks with a slight southern accent. Shades his face with a large hat when he can.
Hobbies & Pets
Adopted a small clockwork drakeling as a pet. After being destroyed in the Battle of Outcrop, Takaa is repairing and upgrading it so that it may never go down like that again.
Speech
Speaks Common. May speak in Aarakocran from time to time, when things get tense.
Wealth & Financial state
Not very rich, prefers to spend money on crafting materials and goods.
Bounty hunter Aarakocra, with a less than successful past. Currently adventuring with the Skyguard, acting as volunteer soldiers for the Turvin. Recently began to dabble in major tech building and artificer engineering.
