How he Looks, Acts, Lives.
Appearance
Wingard’s human form may be smaller than his animal one, but it is still rather impressive. Standing at six feet, the young Kelvic appears to be a fully-developed man of mid-twenties. His arms, like his wings, are incredibly powerful and his lean, muscular form is not something one wishes to underestimate. Regardless of his disinclination for physical confrontation, Wingard attempts to portray an intimidating figure in order to avoid coercion and needling. Considering his eyes are identical to the ones he possesses when diving through the skies as a Wind Eagle, they often assist with the façade he attempts to put forth. Always calculating and sharp, Windgard is constantly aware of his surroundings, watching carefully with his enhanced eye sight.
His features also hint at his Accipitridae background as they are sharp and angular in origin. Luckily for his vanity, he does not have a beak-like nose, but his cheek bones and jaw line are incredibly distinctive upon his face. The hair on top of his head is a multitude of russet oranges and reds, appearing strawberry blonde underneath the rays of the sun. Generally, it is shaved on the sides so that the longer length on the top falls sloppily into his eyes and face, thus obscuring his features, but the easily-windswept locks are in good condition. On the right side of Wingard’s head, however, there are tiny, contour feathers that seem to grow from his skin and cover a section of his skull. Due to the fact that they are merely a shade darker than his hair, they blend in almost perfectly, thus making them hard to see.
As a Wind Eagle, Wingard is past his fledgling stage as he sits around the age of eight. He is rather large in size, his wing-span amassing a respectable thirty-seven feet. In colour, his feathers resemble his human hair and take on many shades of russet, but mayhap a few shades darker. His belly and body are toasted chestnut and as they grow closer to his head, they lighten until a Coppery Clay colour. His beak and scaly feet are tinged yellow with wickedly curved talons decorating his toes. His eyes are golden and large, the pupils big in order to spot his targets at a great distance. Overall, Wingard is a rather attractive bird.

Personality
Wingard’s first and foremost love is flying. The elation that one receives with the wind passing through his feathers or catching a thermal in order to soar high above the rest is not a feeling that he can describe in the Common Language. This existence in the air is what he lives for and the idea of ever being grounded is a frightful one. He fears the concept of being caged, and thus it is ironic that he is forever tied to Wind Reach. In some ways, his human side hates the idea that he will never be able to see the rest of the world, as he knows that his knowledge is nothing compared to the vast wealth of wisdom abroad, but Wingard loves his colony and would do anything to protect his fellow raptures.
Sometimes though, while he sits in his aerie alone, he wonders what it would be like to travel and contemplates what the concept of freedom really is. Yes, he’s a forward thinker, and if there is anything that could compete with his adoration for flight, it would his hunger for knowledge and education. The Kelvic continually strives to know more and thus, he can often be found in his human form sitting around populated areas watching and listening. He finds the study of people utterly fascinating, and enjoys witnessing the flaws of humanity, as well as their conquests.
This ability and need to constantly observe his neighbours generally leads to a poor conversationalist in Wingard. Much preferring to remain on the sidelines, he avoids the center of attention like it is the plague and stands more frequently in the shadows than what is probably necessary. This is not to say that he dislikes people or can’t communicate, but it is more rather that he prefers intelligent conversation and does not know how to curb his tongue in sensitive situations. For example, when one needs to be delicate around the death of a family member, the looks of a lady, or the self-pitying fools around him, Wingard has a tendency to respond in an insensitive manner that can often get him into trouble. He’s very dry-humoured and sarcastic as an individual and deems it incredibly important to point out the flaws of all those around him when necessary.
Thus, why he just tries to avoid most conversation altogether.
He can be charming when he wants to be, but that only occurs when he is in the companionship of those he deems worthy. These people, or Eagles, are those that he finds intellectually stimulating, or even merely interesting because of their nature. He’s very loyal to those he trusts, like any good person, but he is not one to feel at a loss when he loses those special people in his life. He sees each person as an opportunity to grow, and when they are gone, or become a hindrance, Wingard easily says goodbye; this is part of his flighty nature.
Overall, he can be rather selfish and cynical when it comes to the world, but he does yearn for a bond mate and it worries him that he has not found one yet.

Housing
Wingard occupies an Aerie near the upper corner of the Aeries. His home is off to the side, making it a rather long trek to come and visit on foot, however, it houses lovely bathing facilities, a futon, desk, chair, and a spectacular view of the Unforgiving.
