Description
Daraen had a nice life in a small village with his parents. Even though Strix look like they are dangerious and there had been really bad rumors about them, Daraen's parents were the sweetest bird like folk around, and so they taught Daren to always be a kind child. As a kid he loved helping his parents in the garden or cooking or even finding out his great affinity to magic. He was the happiest little Strix around ...
... until, one day there was a knock on the door. daren's parents told him to hide away as they opened the door. There soldiers arrested his parents for being a danger to the land and chained them up to be executed in the town's plaza. Daren was terrified and with a blanket over his head and wings he snuck after them all. Only to see his parent's get ropes around their necks. Even though they cried, they still smiled and thanked their community for letting them exist and live here as long as they did. With that the small Strix saw his parent's get hanged.
Distrought Daraen ran, crying his lungs out and hding in an alleyway until the next day arose. With a heavy heart and without any more tears Daraen returned to his now empty home, the only thing that he still had left from his parents. He locked himself inside, lived life and rarely went out. When he did he hid his wings and claws from the outside world. He grew his magical powers, reading up on any books he could find ... or even steal. Many years later the soldiers returned, but Daraen was ready. He attacked and tricked them to enter his house, and while Daraen escaped without a trace, the house exploded and was set ablaze.
With that Daraen left his village for good and flew into the night never to be seen again ... and withthe hopes to find a place were he could belong without getting his wings clipped for existing ...

Daraen is my lastes bby and I have to say my favorite?? I love them all, but I just adore wings and claws, okay?? :'3

Compared to Void and Saphira, Daraen is actually from a Pathfinder game my IRL friends host. When I was invited I looked at the races that Pathfinder had and something about wings and claws just ... spoke to me, you know?? ewe
