Description
Cairo comes from one of the larger Ozor clans on Azantea, who travel, like all Ozor, near constantly. They are notorious for having a massive supply of griffins, as it was this clan that developed the carrier breeds of griffin found throughout the surface of Azantea.
Cairo, in particular, serves as a scout and hunter in his clan, surveying ahead of the bulk of the group when on the move, and catching small game for food whenever he has the chance. He does so with the aid of Headwyn, his own personal griffin, a lightweight, adolescent breed that he has raised from a hatchling.
However, unlike most Ozor, who are born with an innate magic that requires little training to fully comprehend (usually centered in the Air element), Cairo has failed to develop magic at the same rate as his peers. His magic is unstable and unreliable, struggling to perform even the most basic of spells. Despite trying harder than most Ozor ever even think to, his magic still remains underdeveloped and mostly unusable. This has had the consequence of his clan often being doubtful of his capability on his own, and his immediate family keeping an uncomfortably close eye on him, in the name of his own safety.
Cairo wants nothing more than to "fix" his "broken" magic, and his desperation may just be a weakness some plan to exploit...
Abilities
Aerial combat. With Headwyn, Cairo can divebomb enemies and have Headwyn swipe at them with his talons, dealing surprising amounts of damage in a quick timeframe. However, doing so leaves him and Headwyn very vulnerable for the time in which they are close to the enemy, and Cairo can only do this, of course, when he’s with Headwyn. On the other hand, Cairo can also manage a ranged weapon from Headwyn’s back, which allows him to deal less damage, but at a steadier pace and at a safer distance.
Tail strike. Like all Ozor, one of Cairo’s instincts when startled is to lash his tail out in a rapid strike. The frill on it will act as a blade due to the speed at which this happens, and depending on the placement of the strike, this can split flesh down to the bone, and even break weaker bones. That being said, this is almost always used defensively rather than offensively, as doing it prompted with the same speed and power as when startled is very difficult, and because doing so leaves one open to having their tail grabbed or injured.
Glide. Another feature of the Ozor, Cairo is all but immune to falling great distances. His frills and tail offer balance and a way to direct glides when falling, and his small size offers an advantage in great falls. This makes him excellent at climbing or simply just getting into areas that others would deem too dangerous.
Ranged weaponry.Cairo can handle many ranged weapons with skill, though is unfamiliar with firearms, and most weapons have to be accommodated to his smaller stature.
Survivalist.Cairo was a scout for his clan back on Azantea, meaning that he would go ahead of the clan (usually alongside others and on Headwyn) and inspect the route ahead for hazards. As a result, he is very familiar with various kinds of wildlife, wilderness, and how to traverse/deal with it.
