Aferis (singular) . Aferi (Plural) . Aferin (Adjective)
-
Beings that seem to reflect the stars, Aferis is a species discovered in the galaxy. Until recently, any attempts to encourage the Aferi to embrace modern technology were rejected, opting to live a more primal way of life. Aferi can vary greatly in appearance wing wise, with little rhyme or reason to it. A caste system was created around this biological phenomenon. Those with a greater number of wings holding higher positions in their society. Symmetry of the wings can also affect treatment within their society. A spot of dust or a feather out of place can stir up mockery and general disrespect, whereas an Aferis with a permanent disfiguration can be exiled from their society entirely. Wings can be folded into the body to take on a more humanoid appearance, though it can be discomforting and creates an itching sensation alongside their back.

Appearance:
Aferi will have anywhere from 1-3 pairs of wings, varying in size, shape, and appearance. Most Aferi have one pair of wings with a feathery appearance. Hairs will come in black, blues, purples, and white. Eyes are white or silver, very rarely a light blue. They have pointed ears, often decorated with elaborate jewelry.

Society:
Aferin society is, as earlier stated, based on the number of wings an Aferis possesses. A wing being disfigured would result in exile, which in many cases meant death to the unfortunate Aferis. The lower class are more likely to be more fluent in outsider languages, as they tend to interact more with them. This does not mean that they are able to speak it well, and at most they may know the few phrases essential to their trade and common interactions with outsiders.

Aferi are not eager for any sort of change, ignoring any outsider influence. They are rigid in their ways and often seem incapable of understanding outsider concepts, making communicating with them just a little harder. They become angered when there are major changes in their lives or society and will fight against it to try and return to normalcy. Exiled may be more likely to be swayed as they have been separated from Aferin society.

They do not have any familial bonds. A child is raised with the parents until it reaches the age of 15 where the child, now considered and adult, is sent off to live on its own. They do not have family names.

The Aferi do not believe in gods, the highest authority in their society has always been the Monarch. The word of the Monarch is law and is followed without question.

Two Wings
Two-wings is the title referring to Aferi with a single pair of wings. They are lower class citizens, doing a large majority of the work to uphold the Aferin people. They are farmers, hunters, scouts and more. They do much of the manual labor.

Four Wings
Four-wings are Aferi with two pairs of wings, they are the middle class of the Aferin society. They are scribes and artists, documenting history.

Six Wings
Four-wings are Aferi with two pairs of wings, they are the middle class of the Aferin society. They are scribes and artists, documenting history.

Monarchs
The Monarchs are born with four pairs of wings, usually restricted to a single bloodline, though not a guarantee. The oldest of the Monarchs is the single ruler of the Aferin people.

1. Follow all PH rules
2. Follow basic rp etiquette! No killing people's OCs without permission, hate the character not the player, don't control other's OCs, not godmodding, etc.
3. This is a SEMI-LIT rp, I'm wanting to see at least 3-4 sentences.
4. Rules may change as I see need for them too, all players will be notified to a change in rules as they occur.
