Rixadius Rivarin

Description

Related to the Yasarin species, Rivarin are of the other side of the evolutionary split. Yasarin lost their wings and built up a heavier body, while the Rivarin took to the skies. Wings look smaller in this image than they actually are. The double wing is a safety precaution in case of a wing break. In the case a wing is broken, a Rivarin would perch and set the bone by locking it with the underwing.

The underwing is also used as a display when searching for mates. Males and females are sexually demorphic. Males boast large horns, vivid color, and larger size.

Females are a pastel version of the males, sometimes boasting small horns or none at all.

Color combinations are endless, though when a wound is inflicted, the scar turns the most vivid color of the body's color, sometimes resulting in a neon effect.

Rivarins mate for life, so the loss of a mate can be devastating. Though there have been records of males killing mated males in order to steal their mate. The more scars a mated male boasts, the harder he fought for his prized mate. mated males without scars inflicted are usually looked down upon as an underclass.

The female of choice will ultimately decide the class level of each adult male. Males who fail to get a mate remain low class. Females are VERY rare. Many get killed during male rivalry.

The scent and heart song also play a role deep within the mating rituals of Aether. Rivarin like most other species have pleasant scents that help to recognize and bond with one another. Heartsongs are like the beats that play in the soul, usually a rivarin will trumpet their inner tune in greeting and in mating rituals. Once bonded, two rivarin usually match the sounds of their heart to play in harmony during mating and sensual situations.

This particular Rivarin is Rixadius, an Orange scented adolescent male of the lower class. He plans to win one of the twin albino priestesses. Only a Priestess of this species is born albino, and this is the first time in history that there had been more than one.
