Quick character sheet inspired by a weekend watching goshawks hunt (though her personality doesn't entirely reflect what I think a goshawk personality is like). I've also been wanting a Skrekrill character for a while :>

------------------------------------------------

Aery Name: Skrekrill
Character Name: Kreka
Character Species Combination: Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) / Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
Rank: Young Gryphon
Character Personality: Vigilant, aloof, calculating, analytical, cold, and intelligent. It’s hard to tell what she’s thinking. Her behavior is chaotic to observers, but very well calculated in her mind.

Physcial Talents: Agile and fast, her ability to maneuver in dense terrain is uncanny and she is capable of extreme burst speed.

Shortcomings: Kreka is kind of a cold bitch. This makes it really hard for her to gain allies and deal with other gryphons socially. Her inability to relate to others socially often leads to huge errors in judgment and misunderstandings.

If a gryphon decides to be persistent and integrate themselves in the life of Kreka (which is really the only way to befriend her) she is a fierce and beneficial ally.

I like how smoothly the goshawk markings blend in with the cheetah markings. Makes her look as real and believable as a fantasy animal can get. Very pretty! The wings are excellent too - a clear reflection of how much time you've spent studying birds. Anatomy is spot-on.

What a lovely lady gryph, Goshawks are an amazing species, although the only one I've worked with was a juvi male who was a bit of a derp at the time! He's since become a great hunter though I'm told.

Nice to see an accipiter gryph! I like the way you've blended the two halves.
I must draw her sometime :E

*gasp* New gryph!

She looks pretty wiry and badass to me. I wouldn't mess with her.

Whoohoo! :dance: Windsonde needs more goshawks! They're such baddass birds! :eager: Beautiful design, and I love her personality! XD



Although, what about Jhator's other juvenile challenges?? I'm a little confused...
The group's rules say that we all need to finish 3 challenges before we can make another character.... I know that you are one of the admins, but...don't those rules apply to everybody??

(I hope this doesn't come off as angry or challenging. I'm just doing my best to approach the topic as delicately as possible, and without being rude.)

Jha was a product of Windsonde before it was a DA group and therefore his rank is "Adviser to the Queen". I was doing some of the challenges for him just for fun. Kreka would be my first actual gryphon for the challenges.

Does that help?
