I am Raust Shieldra, feral Titanian gryphon, been this way for years. I write when I find the time around work. if you read my work, please do comment on the good/bad points in a constructive manner. You are my target audience and knowing what I am doing right/wrong helps me grow as a writer. I do listen, and I do work on my style as a result.
I suppose I should put in an RP profile since I do that from time to time.

Brief history:
Born on Titania to two mothers who had been deceased for ages beyond counting, the gryphlet was not left with his mothers to be raised. An attempted act of kindness left him in the path of a life of martial and military training while he lived with an ever changing set of foster parents, most of whom met various tragic accidents or twists of political fate. Through his travels in his youth, the gryphon was trained in many forms of the crafts of war, training for every elite unit a gryphon could find a place in within the alliance of life. He even spent some time on strange, yet useful studies, such as arcane formula and theory at the central arcane academy, at least so far as one without mage gift can study. The gryphon also took advantage of his high ranking squads to study a bit of technology with their tech focused allies, giving him some limited technological knowledge. Certainly not enough to build or disarm any devices, but enough to use basic appliances for just about any tech society.
After he completed his training in martial and military arts, the gryphon found himself in active duty for only one week before he was expelled from the ranks of all alliance forces. The wild and pained heart of the young warrior drove him to avenge his final foster family and commit what was on the edge of premeditated murder. The young warrior settled down with an old childhood friend and worked as a courier for a few years. In his travels as a courier, one fateful job took him to a newly contacted world to deliver a treaty for review and signing by the lord of that world. Instead of making his delivery, the gryphon found a wretched truth and got caught up as an unlikely champion for a people who feared and hated his kind. This conflict would prove his prowess as a commander and a fighter to a small band of fellow wayward warriors who would unite under a name and banner that would become legendary amongst the multiverse, the StarTalons mercenaries. In time, with strict code and fierce skills, the band grew with more like minded cast offs and misfits to become a brotherhood, then a full independent wing, and finally guild of it's own that would swell as fair reputation brought more fair and clean jobs along with more misfits looking to find a place for themselves, make a name, or clear a tarnished one. The gryphon commander, then master, and finally lord earned the respect of his mercs with hope, reputation, example, and the comradery of fighting alongside them in larger engagements. A final trial by fire nearly seen the full destruction of the StarTalons, and nearly took the life of their beloved guild master, leaving him with terrible scars that are hidden beneath his feathers. The other ruling member of the alliance came to a very big decision and the queen of Titania, Talana Asreigh, extended an offer to bring the StarTalons into the alliance of life as a free standing people. After a long period of reflection and consideration, the gryphon decided it was best to take the position for his mercs and their families. As a result, he managed to supply steady income form various nations tithing for their services in defense, as well as lands for the civilians under his watch to build their homes upon, although it was simply offered as a place to settle down by Titania in a place no one else dared venture into.
Now we find the gryphon, past his days of seeking glory and fighting every evil he can find, great and small. He is still an incredible fighter, and not just for his early middle age. Ready and willing to meet a challenge if there is a real threat to others, the gryphon spends most his time lounging and thinking of new things to get for, or do with his daughters. Always friendly and welcoming to warm company, a smile and a bit of conversation awaits any who seeks his company, though he is admittedly bad at leading a conversation. If you may have a question about him, please do approach the old bird and ask, he doesn't bite.
(You can interact with various members of the family if you so choose to do so, however, any of these interactions will never be allowed into any kind of sexual activity most especially when it comes to my daughters, there is a certain sentimental meaning to them and I am as protective over the characters as I would be my own RL children.)
