CRYO-PHOENIX
Name of Species: Cryo-Phoenix
{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}
Baseline Dimension:
Human Form: Any height or weight is possible. It is possible to be aged anywhere from evolved just after the Ancient War to freshly born.
Phoenix Form: They are pretty big birds. Anywhere from eagle to larger than human size in the body, not counting wingspan.
Baseline Appearance:
Human Form: Due to the reintegration of this species back into the larger world of Skiagis, 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.
They can actually directly control how old their human form is that they shapeshift into depending on where they need to fit in. For instance, if a cryo-phoenix needs to go back to school to relearn things dulled by time, they can appear as children and teens once more. If they are in a position of power and need to seem wise to all races, they can assume a middle-aged or even elderly form. Rebirth affects human form as well. After hatching, they rapidly age from infant to whatever their desired age is. However, if they can only age up to the form appropriate to how many human years they've been alive. For example, if a cryo-phoenix dies as a young teen, they can only rapidly age back to that of the age they died at. If they've been alive hundreds of years, they can choose any age appearance.
Phoenix Form: Their eye color is constant regardless of form. While it is most common for phoenixes to have cooler hued color schemes such as blues, greens, and whites, other colors are possible as well.
Phoenix form age has little change after going from egg, to chick, to adult bird. Once a cry-phoenix’s body reaches adult form, this is the way it will stay for all of time, no matter how old. Upon death and rebirth, a phoenix turns to snow and forms back into an ice egg. Once reborn, there is brief period between hours and days that a cryo-phoenix once more grows up from chick.
Culture/Origin of Species:
After the Ancient War was through, a small sect of phoenixes rebelled and divorced from the rest of the phoenixes and everything they believe in, but managed to form some sort of treaty with the Phoenix Council so they wouldn't be hunted. Rejecting both the sun god they worshipped and any teaching from their leader, the group roosted in the isolation of Arka's frozen lands, as per the agreement. At first their natural heat kept them comfortable despite the brutal cold, but they very quickly adapted and evolved to their new environment and gave up their flames altogether. Cryo-Phoenixes were born, and as they became their own new species they ended their self-isolation to rejoin society.

Traits:
• Immortality: Cryo-Phoenixes can die, yes, but they are reborn in a snowy vortex that reveals an ice egg. They rise up from the ice and snow within hours.
• Blizzard: Naturally attuned to ice, cryo-phoenixes are more adept with using the element to both harm and protect.
• Ice Eagle Eyes: Birds have some pretty impressive sight when it comes to range and distance. Don't expect to get much past them.
• Partial Shape Shifting: Due to being immortal and having a high vitality, cry-phoenixes have control over their natural shapeshifting allowing them to partially shift.
Flaws:
• Molting: Molting happens about once a month, and renders a cryo-phoenix exhausted and lazy. It's almost like an illness such as a cold, where they will appear less than healthy and cough little puffs of frosty air. This lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 days, but robs them of their ice and snow until they flash freeze the molting away.
• Heat Stroke: Being too hot for an extended amount of time will sap their strength.
