From below, aves look much like large birds. Only when they descend to roost on a branch or walk across the ground does their humanoid appearance reveal itself. Standing upright, aves might reach 5 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs that taper to sharp talons. | |||
Feathers cover their bodies. Their plumage typically denotes membership in a tribe. Males are brightly colored, with feathers of red, orange, or yellow. Females have more subdued colors, usually brown or gray. Their heads complete the avian appearance, being something like a parrot or eagle with distinct tribal variations. | |||
Aves reach maturity by age 3. Compared to humans, aves don’t usually live longer than 30 years. | |||

Most aves are good and rarely choose sides when it comes to law and chaos. Tribal leaders and warriors might be lawful, while explorers and adventurers might tend toward chaotic. | |||

As with much of their speech, aves names include clicks, trills, and whistles to the point that other peoples have a difficult time pronouncing them. Typically, a name has two to four syllables with the sounds acting as connectors. When interacting with other races, aves may use nicknames gained from people they meet or shortened forms of their full names. | As with much of their speech, aves names include clicks, trills, and whistles to the point that other peoples have a difficult time pronouncing them.
