Name: Tinker
Gender: Male
Age: 36 Months
Species: Greater Sooty
Kingdom: Pure Ones
Position: Sooty Owl. Grunt.
Description: Splat Spots, or Tinker as he calls himself, is a fairly normal-looking Greater Sooty, with clean, white spots over his entire body, and a grey-white tail. Because of his lighter plumage, he looks much like a female owl. Do not be deceived, as his build and posture easily show him to be male. As Greater Sootys go, he is not terrible large. Some might call him rather small. His size makes him even lower in the Pure Ones than he would otherwise be, furthering his distaste for them.
Personality: Tinker has ever been a quiet, thinking owl. He has never felt quite at home with the Pure Ones but he knows those who desert the Pure Ones are hunted and scorned wherever they go. He is quite quick-thinking and very practical. He rarely does anything without due cause. Tinker is somewhat aloof, he considers most owls less intelligent than he, and prone to asking stupid questions. This may give him the appearance of rudeness but those close to him would tell you he does not have a mean heart.
Strengths: Quite intelligent, Observant, Free-thinking.
Weaknesses: Aloof, Mildly Short-tempered, Stubborn
History: Tinker has not a very long history. He was born in Southern Ambala, and was separated from his family in a fire. Although he feels deep down in his gizzard that his family still lives, he left them to join the Pure Ones, hoping to bring glory to his name. He plans to return at some point to see for himself, but for now continues to plod along with the Pure Ones. He often takes trips away from the Pure Ones, sometimes for weeks at a time. He is rarely missed, however, because of his low ranking in their order.
IC: It started raining quite suddenly, and he took cover in a small hollow in an oak tree. As he dripped on the floor of the hollow, Tinker hoped his parents were doing alright. They had all been out hunting, trying to find worms and insects for the two new hatchlings. Suddenly, the night lit up, and with a great roar a tree not 200 feet from him exploded into flames. Because it had not been raining for long, the forest floor was still dry, and quickly the whole area was in flames. Tinker watched in horror as flames started to lick up the tree in which he stood. He quickly lifted out of the hollow and started flying away from the fire.
Once he was a safe distance away, he landed and watched the smoke plume obscure the stars. Even as dawn approached and the rain continued, the fire was still burning. Even at his young age, he could tell it was going to be a bad one. He lifted off again, hoping to find a quick snack before daybreak.
