Avilors:
This is a rare, farely unheard of race of bird evolved bipeds. They look mostly humaniod in appearance. This race has no hair, the male gender have short thick feathers covering thier scalps and none elsewhere. The female have long thin feathers covering thier scalp and are also "bald" the rest over. the species has hollow bones that are mostly like stiff cartiladge, their muscle are very dense and their tendons are tight "spun". The combination of these attributes make the species tough,strong, and fast, yet light weight. Their eyes contain a pupil and iris, are one solid color, usuallt metallic gold, silver, marble like and they have skin ranging from green, red, blue, and teal. Avilors are usually very tall, almost always over 7ft for female and 8ft with males. Their aging process is very rapid yet they can live almost as long as humans. The aging process decreases in speed the as time passes, usually the first year it will age to the equal about 12 and then it slows to about 6 the next year then 3 the third year, then 1 1/2 the fourth year and finalizes on the fifth year and goes to a normal aging rate. Avilor have what genetics call cellular encoded knowledge, that they pass on talents and information like instincts they call it Arcane Instinct. Where a new born deer knows how to walk almost at birth, avilor begin to display their parents talents without ever being taught. They are not sure where they are originally from, they are nomads using their Arcane Instinct to find home, beliveing that one day it will lead them home.
+1 Dex, -1 Int : Avilors are light (20% lighter than humans) and quick due to thier hollow bones, but they tend to rely on their Arcane Instinct so their learning ability is somewhat slower than most humanoids.
