Often referred to as 'Quill'[/color] 

[b]Race:[/b]
[color=Moccasin]Rito[/color]

[b]Age:[/b]
[color=Moccasin]22[/color]

[b]Gender:[/b]
[color=Moccasin]Male[/color]

[b]Description:[/b]
[color=Moccasin]Shorter than average, Quill stands at about shoulder height to the average Hyrulian, and like most Rito, is considerably lighter than his size suggests. Despite his light weight, and thin frame, Quill is surprisingly lithe, and has a build of one used to physical activity. Like many Rito, Quill has red irises, and his skin is of a dark olive hue, which is contrasted by his stark white hair and golden yellow beak. His wings dangle around his arms like sleeves, and are white like his hair, though end in charcoal grey at their tips. Unlike Hyrulians and other land based races, Quill and his Rito brethren have digitgrade legs, and his feet are stronger and more resilient than most hardened leathers and as such often forgoes footwear outright. 

His clothing is similar to traditional Rito clothing, typically as light as possible as to not limit his abilities to fly. He wears loose white cloth pants, that taper down and tie just below his knee. He often wears a dark red traditional rito tunic and brown forearm wrappings. Around his waist he wears a leather belt, and across his shoulders is a baldric; the former of which bears a small messenger bag emblazoned with a red wing on his back alongside a dirk, and the latter carrying a large quiver with a score arrows, the quiver itself being designed to be able to carry his strung shortbow alongside the arrows. Quill occasionally wears armor of boiled leather, consisting of a breastplate and forearm bracers. [/color]

[b]Character:[/b]
[color=Moccasin]Where most Rito are calm and reserved, Quill is flighty and impatient. Headstrong and stubborn, its hard to sway Quill once his mind has been made up. However, despite his fast, and dynamic personality, Quill fairly level headed and isn't above putting logic into his decisions. As a result he is able to make quick, but rational decisions on the fly and often faces adversity with determination and bravery. Kind-hearted and loyal, Quill has a strong sense of morality and justice, and will go to great lengths to defend loved ones. He is a bit hotheaded, and is quick to get riled up, especially when comments about his height are made.

Quill is a naturally curious character, and has few qualms about stepping over legal limits to investigate and explore. Exceptionally keen eyed and perceptive, Quill is able to spot details from remarkable distances, and has a fairly powerful memory as well alongside excellent spacial awareness. Following the philosophical and spiritual ideals of the Rito, Quill believes in the ideal of freedom of movement, and freedom in general. As such, he views the totalitarian style of the Hyrulian government with a grain of salt. While he appreciates the growth of economy and safety the empire provides its peoples, he is very much not a fan of their outright oppressive tendencies.[/color]

[b]Biography:[/b]
[color=Moccasin]A young Rito hailing from Dragon Roost Island, off the southern coast of Hyrule, Quillian is named after Quill, fabled friend and ally of the legendary Hero of Wind. Born the second son of the Island Chieftan, Quill was afforded a comfortable childhood. He learned what was expected of him as a child, and lived a young life relatively free of the interruptions and intrusions of Imperial Hyrule. Dragon Roost Island, despite its close proximity to Hyrule, was left mostly alone by the Hyrulians, whom despite possessing control over the island, left most of the day to day functions of the island to its native inhabitants- the vertical structure of its cities making life for those incapable of flight too inconvenient to bother staying there for more than a vacation.

Upon his fifteenth birthday, Quill, like his older brother, and many others before him, began the trek up the central mountain of Dragon Roost Island, where he would undergo the coming of age ritual of the Rito. This journey was wrought with peril and hardship- not so difficult that his death was assured, but enough that he was forced to use his wits and strengths to scale, climb, and traverse the challenges the terrain, and interior of the mountain provided. After five days, Quill had arrived at the summit of the mountain, there he received his scale, and flew down the mountain.

In a few short years, Quill proved to be one of the fastest, and strongest flyers on the island, with considerable stamina, and speed rivaling some of the fastest flyers ever born. Like many youths, Quill joined the ever burgeoning ranks of the Rito couriers, an honorable career that promoted one's integrity, stamina, and appreciation for the world. Rito couriers often learned skills with martial weapons alongside route planning, in order to better defend their charges from the possible dangers that they might face. The majority of young Rito served a short period of time in the ranks of Rito couriers before moving onto other professions in Rito society, be it guards, artisans, or philosophers. Quill, more dynamic and energetic than other rito decided to stick to courier service longer than most, enjoying the freedom it lent him.

Eventually, with his parent's blessing, Quill migrated to mainland as a Journeyman-Courier for the Red Pinions, a primarily Rito company that acted as one of the prime methods of delivery in central Hyrule. Based atop the slow, but steady massive land-bound caravan carts of the Red Pinions, Journeyman-Couriers like Quill often fly ahead to scout and secure routes or deliver smaller parcels for the slower moving vehicles carrying larger, more valuable deliveries such as metals for smiths and weapons shipments for guards or deliveries of jewelry and gold from nobles. Journeymen-Couriers are also the ones tasked with delivering important, time-sensitive letters, often between people of either great importance, great money, or some combination of the two. 

Quill has just arrived in Castle City with a smaller Red Pinions caravan, having just delivered a large package to a minor noble. [/color]
