Jorgasians

Jorgasians are an upright bipedal avian species. They are capable of short spurts of flight with their large bird of prey wings. Jorgasians have arms with four taloned fingers arranged in a way that doesn’t require a thumb like possessed by humans. They are covered in feathers, ranging from bright, tropical colours to dull grey and brown. The plumage is generally brighter on females and are shed every two years. Their eye colour ranges from yellow to red, orange, brown, and white. They can see a slightly larger range of colours than humans.

Their diet consists of a blend consisting of mainly fruits, nuts and occasionally seafood. The bills are shaped like a hawk’s and contain molars along the side that are used for chewing. Their eyes are set similar to a humans and are have a medium band of colour around a black pupil.

The average lifespan of a Jorgasian is 80 years, with elders around the age of 120.

Jorgasian speech is made up of bird calls, ranging from sweet songbird-like calls when friendly to hawk-like screeches when mad. It is difficult for them to speak in other languages because of their specialized voices.

Most Jorgasians proudly wear their colour of feathers throughout their lives, but some have recently begun to dye their plumage through genetics. This is generally frowned upon by society as it is a dangerous process. Dying with chemicals is seen as a waste of materials.

Jorgasians can also have barn owl-like appearances as well as hawkish.
