New character, who dis?
Meet Kozama, a magpie character I've started working on. I've been meaning to create a bird type character for a while now, so I'm glad he's finally starting to come together.
He's a highly intelligent strategist and tactician, and the dark elemental character of my group. He always seems to have a plan to deal with any situation, and then several backup plans to fall back on. He also has access to void energy/magic through his colored feathers, which are conduits for his power. Each one, when detached, can serve as a gateway which he can instantly teleport to, or they can become dark energy copies of himself. He can shield himself with his feathers to absorb projectiles and energy, and can even store all kinds of trinkets, supplies, and lots of useless junk in the infinite space of the void by simply reaching into his plumage to access it (he's a great bag of holding).
Smart as he is, he's also somewhat of a sarcastic, judgemental prick, and is very matter-of-fact in his conversations and social settings, making him a little boring unless you can really get to know him. He's not very durable or trained in very much hand to hand combat either, and prefers to defeat his foes from very, very far away, preferably before the battle even starts.
Looking forward to developing this fella some more, to eventually get him worthy of a character sheet. I expect his look will change a bit as I keep working on him.
Thanks for reading!

I would have made her legs thinner... Like a bird's.
And... I can imagine him with glasses, or a monocle.
And maybe straighten her hair? I know Magpies don't have a crest, or a feather that bounces back, but you could just imagine him having a sort of... Stylish haircut.
Very happy to discover a new protagonist ! =^.^=

Lots of good ideas. I'll be trying out a few different things with him for sure.
Finding the right balance between human and bird features is quite a different challenge than with mammals, mixing them doesn't seem as natural. I prefer the legs on furry characters to be more human like usually, and the feet to be plantigrade, just with paws or claws on the end. Maybe I can try out something new this time though, we'll see!
I thought about glasses as well, I might try them when I work on his outfit. I like the idea.
The current hair/head feathers might change still too, that's one of the parts I was least sure about. Again, where on the scale between human and bird to land seems challenging, including hair or eyebrows or not at all. Hmmm...

I took the liberty of giving you some feedback on my ideas because Kozama still seems to me to be modifiable without radically changing the aesthetic =)
Besides, we know each other well enough now that you won't take my ideas the wrong way, so I thought I'd give it a try!
In any case... I understand better. I just thought, since he's a strategist and uses magic... He's not very physical, so his legs could be thinner. And as for the haircut, same thing. I can imagine it... Like a Dandy^^
I'm glad I could help give you some ideas! Even if they're not good ones, maybe you'll come up with some cool things to make for Kozama =)
