Llyre es vel Volaerys

Llyre es vel Volaerys, also known as Lee (and formerly as Lirei-Nai of House Is) is a Rathniri businessman and diplomat based in the city of Almorria in the Imperium of Almorre, a duchy of Thalassii in Sparwood.

Appearance
Llyre, the youngest member of House Volaerys, is rather unassuming in terms of his appearance, due to his habit of obscuring his entire body, including his face. With very rare exceptions, he wears a heavy wooden mask carved into the shape of a wolf's head, as well as a dark grey poncho that covers his entire torso, as well as simple brown trousers with leather boots. When unmasked, he wears a somewhat opaque black veil covering his lower face.

Beneath it all, he is a fairly lean and tall young man, with pale skin, messy black hair, and distinctively pale grey eyes circled by long eyelashes and fading dark circles. His eyes are described as the colour of dirty ice, paler than stone and darker than milk, like two white moons. He has pointed ears shorter than those of a fullblooded elf, and wears many earrings in them, as well as a multitude of simple rings on all of his fingers.

Llyre's face bears a distinctive scar across the left side of his face, from his mouth to his ear, exposing some teeth. Despite its age, it does not appear to be healed, still raw-looking. The rest of his body is speckled with faded scars from his adventures in Rathnir.

A more visible trait of his are two large black wings on his back, the left of which is severely damaged, in the same state as his face, unhealed despite its age. Usually he hides them beneath his poncho, especially now that he cannot fly due to the injury of his left wing.

Biology
It's unclear what exactly is going on with Llyre, at least biologically speaking. While reaching milestones at the rate a Nivosus Elf would, albiet slightly faster, his aging appears to have slowed down after reaching 16-17, and it is unclear if this is due to his mother's species, or something else.

The first thing of note are the wings mentioned in the previous section. Unfolded, Llyre's wingspan is close to 10 feet (300 cm). These wings are somewhere between the appearance (in terms of shape) of a hawk or owl's wings, adaptable to passive soaring as well as more high-energy flight. The plumage seems to extend across his back between the wings as well, before trailing off. The natural colour of his wings are tawny brown with white undersides and speckling, but are dyed black for unknown reasons.

In terms of internal structure, due to his mother's race (assuming this is not a spontaneous mutation), he has a body optimised for flight and survival in high mountainous reigons and in the upper canopy of trees, perhaps having evolved in Eldham instead of the Rathnir he finds himself in now. Regardless, in addition to the previously mentioned wings, he also posesses hollow bones, allowing him to theoretically lift off far easier. The downside to his more delicate bone structure is that blunt-force trauma can be particularly dangerous, thus he tends to avoid melee combat whenever possible.

Llyre's body is not particularly adapted to storing fat, and requires high amounts of proteins and calories to function. This supports the hypothesis that his species originating in Eldham as well. Beyond these things, his eyes posess a nictitating membrane that offer a degree of protection from debris and wind while flying, and he posesses pointed canines and some of his molars seem to have been converted to carnassials.

Personality
As if befitting his appearance, Llyre is quiet a serious young man. Behind the mask it's nearly impossible to guess what he's feeling, and even without it he isn't particularly expressive. He most often tends to come off as quite friendly but reserved. He tends to handle situations with diplomacy when possible, aiming for the simplest solution to problems.

Despite his somber demeanour and unsettling appearance, Llyre does enjoy debauchery and fanfare to a great degree, and is particularly riotous when drinking, a habit he partakes in frequently. He is also quite friendly with regards to other citizens of Thalassii and Almmore, freely offering help and working hard to keep the government running smoothly, though he doesn't seem particularly close to many people.

Llyre is also proud to a fault. While it is hard to get under his skin, if/when he does feel insulted, the response is often nuclear, with days of planning leading up to his scorched earth tactics. Even until the last minute he will wear a friendly face, before the mask slips. His anger tends to be quite calculated and honed to the point that it seems deliberate more than anything. Beyond this pride, he's also alarmingly ambitious, likely as a result of his status of a bastard, though it is unclear what his goals are at the moment.

He is unfortunately incredibly forgetful, with large gaps in his memory for unknown reasons, and thus tends to write everything down, or stick to a small group of people who he is familiar with. Llyre is usually overlooked by the people around him, but he prefers it that way, it makes it much harder for people to get a guage of his true intentions and motivations, and whatever plans he truly has as he climbs the social and power ladder.
