THUNDERBIRDS
Name of Species: Thunderbirds
{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}
Baseline Dimension: Come in bird form and human form. Bird form weighs in at an average 450kilos, height of about 6ft. In human form their height retains but weight about 67kilos. Males are notably heavier at 83kilos.
Baseline Appearance: The thunderbirds have a total of either 3 or 4 pairs of limbs. 2 sets of wings and either having 2 sets of legs or 1 set. In human form this translates to those with 1 set of legs having no arms, instead their wings take up most of their shoulder, and those with 2 sets have arms and legs, the wings however pushed into their shoulder blades to make room for their arms. Golden hair and golden feathers make up their natural coating. Brown skin is what thunderbirds have naturally.
Culture/Origin of Species: Ever heard the thunder clap? The sound of beating rain? Lightning striking the earth as if sounding the drums of change? These are the Thunderbirds. Coming from a part of Mistere that only certain species could live, for thunder and lightning, hail and storm make life below practically a harsh windy no man's land. Female and male thunderbirds never live in the same place until marriage, as it is tradition for Thunderbirds to remain abstain until the union for life. Tribal markings indicate married couples. Other forms of markings indicate children that are coming of age, elderly thunderbirds reaching their final day and people of significant authority such as Shamans and Chiefs.
In the modern days thanks to certain magics and sciences, special lightning rods have been placed in the Thunderbirds’ territory(with their permission) in order to house the species’ incredible electricity to power the cities. The birds even maintain a power plant found in the Eye of the Storm, a special place only the Thunderbirds know of. They are also seen doing weather reports. Students who enroll into educational institutes are given special battery packs in order to prevent any accidental electrocution. This especially notable in younger Thunderbirds where their power is not fully controlled by their will.
In Thunderbird culture, there is a sort of position ranking. The Elder Shaman is of the highest authority, however the Chief rivals said authority in order to ensure a balanced opinion. Shamans come after Chiefs and Elder Shaman to act as advisors and consultants. The Chief's spouse is then next in power, followed by his/her children. Everyone else is of equal power. Currently there are over 23 different Thunderbird tribes, each with a unique marking for their tribe.

Traits: List of traits for the species. These are inherent positive quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must also have 1 flaw.
• Masters of the weather, Thunderbirds create thunderstorms and hurricanes with minimal effort. It is however controlling these storms that show the true masters from the new ones.
• The Thunderbirds possess an organ in their throat that produces a deep low boom that can travel miles, often use as communication or a way to stun prey. This organ also makes them really bad at singing.
Flaws: List of flaws for the species. These are inherent negative quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must have 1 flaw.
• Thunderbirds need to constantly discharge their electricity. Younger thunderbirds do it without compromise while inside Thunderbird territory however are given special battery packs that sap their electricity to prevent them from going trigger happy. Older thunderbirds, having a more developed organ, do not need to worry about going trigger happy but still need to ensure they don't built up too much.
