Appearance
Tekstil is a broad-shouldered male aarakocra with rust-red and cream plumage, a dark hooked beak, and bright amber eyes. His feathers are carefully preened around a battered steel helm, though a few always spring loose above his brow. He wears practical chain mail beneath a weather-stained blue cloak, carries a shield painted with a white gull, and keeps one hand near the small fishbone charm tied to his belt. Within a minute of meeting him, most people notice the soft clicking sound he makes with his beak whenever he is anxious. His normally brisk voice becomes breathy and unusually quiet when angered, while his wings tense and partially spread.
Mannerisms
Tekstil constantly checks the knot securing his fishbone charm, usually without realizing he is doing it. When listening, he tilts his head sharply like a hunting bird and makes faint beak-clicks. When excited, his wings lift and his speech speeds up. When frightened or furious, his voice drops into a breathy whisper while his wings lock rigidly against his sides.
Personality
Tekstil is direct, energetic, and fiercely protective. He treats every ship's deck, tavern floor, and cliffside path as if it were a place where lives depend on competent seamanship. He is quick to laugh at dry humor, slow to forgive betrayal, and deeply uncomfortable with quiet water. Despite his abrasive opinions about fish, he is gentle with frightened travelers and will give away his own rations before allowing a shipwreck survivor to go hungry.
Ideals
Justice should arrive like a storm from a clear sky. Those who prey upon the helpless, whether on land or sea, deserve no safe harbor.
Bonds
The wreck of the Gull's Mercy lies somewhere beneath the coastal waters, and Tekstil intends to recover his family's names, belongings, and holy keepsake from it. He also protects sailors and shipwreck survivors with fierce devotion, because no one should be left to vanish beneath the waves as his family did.
Flaws
Tekstil's hatred of fish is irrational, immediate, and often inconvenient. He refuses to eat seafood, distrusts anyone who praises fishing, and may abandon sound judgment when confronted by a large or unfamiliar aquatic creature. He also confuses stubbornness with courage, especially when admitting fear would require him to trust someone else.
Quirks
Background
Tekstil was raised among the wind-carved cliffs of an aarakocra roost overlooking a busy coastal harbor. His family served aboard the merchant vessel Gull's Mercy, where they taught him to read clouds, judge currents, and tie knots faster than most sailors could name them. He was still young when an enormous predatory fish, driven into the shallows by a storm, smashed through the ship's lower hull. The vessel sank in minutes. Tekstil survived by taking to the air, but his parents and younger sister did not. He has never forgiven fish as a category, from minnows to sea monsters, and insists that the ocean is merely a sky that happens to be facing the wrong direction.
