Aviara Are Anivails with traits inherited from intelligent bird Genii, predominantly corvids, (ravens, crows, magpies, rooks and jays) and, in more tropical climates, psittacines (parrots and cockatoos). Aviara are humanoid beings with avian characteristics, such as feathered wings and bird-like eyes, and weigh around half as much as a creature their size. Their wings are attached to their mid backs, with light, hollow bones that enable swift and graceful movement for short periods.
Aviara are blessed with keen observation and supernaturally accurate memories, as well as an aptitude for engineering, healthcare and teaching professions.
Anivails have been genetically mutated over generations from exposure to the Aureum of the nature spirits they worship. Close contact to their magic and blessings from Genii have bestowed them with animalistic traits that have developed over thousands of years of evolution.

For the most part, anivails bear a striking resemblance to humans, in both form and function. But for most, it is easy to differentiate between the two because every anivail has an Animal Aspect. Every anivail is born with a deep connection to the beasts of the world, which each embodies in their Aspect, giving each Faunus traits of a specific beast. Animal aspects always manifest themselves physically, giving an Anivail one or more body parts reminiscent of their bonded animal, such as cat ears, monkey tails, deer antlers, chameleon skin, and so forth. Aspects also manifest in more minor ways, such as eye color and shape, general hairiness, or sharp teeth. Even personality is determined in some form by aspect; aspects of prey species are often shy and meek, those of bulls are often brash, and those of cats are independent and aloof.
