She's empty. [break][break]

She doesn't recall a time where she's thought for herself, where she could look at something and speak of it in a subjective manner. She doesn't recall a day where she was able to smile, from the depths of her heart with a chime and that subtle, familiar warmth. She has long since given up on trying to be a person of her own (her life has been nulled; she is a woman for others-- A side character in her own story). Some call her foolish, and perhaps she is little more than a shell of her former self. Emotions have become tiring; they have become vexing enough for her to leave them behind, and yet she is a kind woman all the same (her kindness is what's left of her; the only piece that hasn't faded with time nor been casted aside due to hindering her).

Baseline Dimension[break]
Atalum--[break]
Although generally believed to be of a horse-shaped stature, Pegasi--or at least the race he belongs to--are a group of humanoid beings that can transform into their better-known form, that of a winged unicorn. In their humanoid appearance, which is referred to as their 'resting state' within communities of the species, they resemble a tall individual with long limbs. Also notably, females and males of the species have very similar heights. Male have a larger margin of difference than females, where they can be slightly shorter or taller than any average female and females, while having a smaller range of heights are on average, taller than males of the species, with very few males growing taller than 6'3". (Even the shortest males are tall by human standards, however.) That being said, in their resting state/normal form, males are anywhere from 5'11" (180 cm) to 6'6" (198 cm) on average and females usually range from 6'0" (182 cm) to 6'4" (193 cm). Because pegasi have hollow bones, which partially allow for their ability of flight, they're usually lighter than humans despite their larger bodies. Pegasi usually do not store too much adipose/fat on their bodies if they frequently use their wings, but can become overweight if they abstain from flight or live sedentary lifestyles. Generally, both genders naturally form lean musculature during adolescence partially due to their genetics and also the importance their culture puts on flight (which is a surefire way to get in shape). In addition to their mastery and focus on flight, Pegasi are natural runners and gifted athletes with naturally low metabolisms. Males and females are usually muscular, but with more modern-living or city-dwelling pegasi, they may remain lean. In their horse-like forms, they resemble the Akhal-Teke breed of horse with large dove-like wings and a large horn on their forehead.

Phoenix--[break]
Human Form: Any height or weight is possible. It is possible to be aged anywhere between thousands of years before the Ancient War, to freshly born. It's also possible to lose some, most, or all memories in the rebirth process. It is possible for personality to also change in the rebirth process.[break]
Phoenix Form: They are pretty big birds. Anywhere from eagle to larger than human size in the body, not counting wingspan.

Baseline Appearance[break]

Similar to humans, skin color, eye, and hair color differs from each individual. Skin color closely resembles that range of human but hair and eye colors do not. As well as blacks, browns, and blondes, pegasi hair color also includes various shades of silver, teal, pink, purple, and gray. Silver is the most common hair color. Their eye color functions somewhat differently than humans. They have a primary eye color, which is the color of their iris, and a secondary eye color, which colors a thin, glowing layer behind their iris. As a result, their eyes glow brightly with their secondary color. Primary eye colors usually include black, brown, blue, green, hazel, silver, sepia, gold, red, burgundy, and various shades of gray. It's said that personality determines the secondary eye color. There is no limit on whatever secondary color a pegasi can have. Pegasi also naturally have a gemstone embedded in their skin, somewhere on their body, but most commonly (about 90% of the population) have it on the center of their forehead. Perhaps one of the two defining features of the species is their large, single horn in the center of the frontal skull bone. For most individuals it can grow up to a foot long and is made out of pearl. In very rare occasions, it can be made of quartz or even glass. If their horn ever breaks, it falls off and a new one grows in its place. It can take up to a year for the new horn to grow to its full size. Horns usually first begin growing in adolescence. Pegasi also have large, sweeping horse-like tails that are covered with long hair that is the same color as their hair. They also have large, dove wings that extend from their shoulder-blades. The most common color for these wings is white, but it's also common for a pegasus's wings to match their hair color. Their wingspan is around 28 feet (8.5) meters on average. They can use magic to hide any of their unique features (horn, gemstone, wings, etc.), which is more commonly used in the modern world. Also so they can fit into doorways.

Phoenix--[break]
Human Form: Due to the widespread of this species, nearly any physical trait is possible. The only thing that sets them apart physically are their eyes, which are unusually vivid colors, and crazy feathers that stick out of their hair at molting season, which is usually once every month.
[break]
Phoenix Form: Their eye color is constant regardless of form. While it is most common for phoenixes to have warm hued color schemes such as yellows, oranges, and reds, other colors are possible as well. Color can also change due to rebirth trial results.

Traits[break]
• Jet-speed: Every pegasus is fast. Mostly because of their hollow bones and lean muscle. They receive +3 to their speed stat.[break]
• Healtouch: When a pegasi touches someone while covered with water (either the pegasi or the area of the person whom is being affected), they can heal whatever wound is within that area, or in some cases, even cure a cold or other sickness. More as a side effect, they usually don't get sick, and can heal their wounds.[break][break]

• Immortality: Phoenixes can die, yes, but they are reborn either in a fiery blaze or rise up from the ashes within hours. They have 3 points in vitality.[break]
• Partial Shape Shifting: Due to being immortal and having a high vitality phoenixes have control over their natural shapeshifting allowing them to partially shift.
[break][break]

Flaws[break]
• Hollow bones: Despite the utility of such bones, it also causes them to be a lot more fragile than an average creature. When it might take a car crash or a significant injury to break a human's bone, something seemingly not life threatening (ie. falling down the stairs, or more than 6 feet) can result in a hospital visit. Resilience can not go over 1 point.[break][break]

• Molting: Molting happens about once a month, and renders a phoenix exhausted and lazy. It's almost like an illness such as a cold, where they will appear less than healthy and cough ash. This lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 days, but robs them of their flames until the fire is rekindled and burns the molting away.
