The '''Atavians''' are a humanoid race, with lightweight bones and magnificent, feathered wings, descended from an ancient, bird-like people known as the [[Atav]]. They are visually very similar to [[Human|humans]], coming in all shapes and sizes, and their wings are seen in a wide range of hues, with the most traditional coloration being ivory or brilliant white. The racial home of the Atavians is the [[Aerie]], a remote village tucked away in the [[Vashnar Mountains|Vashnar mountain]] range.
The [[Atavian|Atavians]] are a humanoid race, with lightweight bones and magnificent, feathered wings, descended from an ancient, bird-like people known as the [[Atav]].

The racial home of the Atavians is the [[Aerie]], a remote village tucked away in the [[Vashnar Mountains|Vashnar mountain]] range.


With their powerful feathery-white wings, the race of Atavians lift themselves high into the sky. The freedom of this avian race is unmatched in the Midnight age, as is their talent for flight. They stand otherwise nearly identical to their Human cousins, though they view them with some measure of disdain.

==Racial skills==
Far-flung descendants of the birdlike Atav, the Atavians are Human-like creatures, distinguished from Humans by their possession of powerful, feathery wings that manifest in a wide and striking array of hues, much like their hair, skin, and eyes. In spite of their mastery of the skies and their slight, delicate builds, the Atavians are disdained upon many parts of the continent owing to stereotypes about their licentious, untrustworthy characters. There is little in the way of unified Atavian culture, as they are far distanced from their Atav ancestors and have often been called upon to surrender their heritage in favor of winning acceptance and approval.

==Roleplay==
 
Atavian have a diverse range of roleplay choices, with players able to highlight their racial feature of wings and flight in many ways, such as through emotes emphasizing the movement of their wings, or through stories about their love of flying. Atavian are amalgamated very heavily into modern Aetolian society, opening the door to virtually any backstory you may desire, although some players enjoy emphasizing their connection to the race's home in Aerie.

Painless was the transformation, or so they say. With the grace and splendour of a sunrise did they gain plumage and hard, curved beaks, and wings with which to soar. The five flew together as one, diving and gliding upon the currents and inseparable from them.
