Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi

Under the combined weight and teamwork, the trespassing mountain lion succumbed, and Ardyn released his grip on its throat only when he heard a last breath escape its lungs and the legs stopped twitching. Even as he opened his jaws and dropped the dead cat his heart still hammered for several seconds before the adrenaline wore off and he turned his attention to the surroundings.

He stood, shaking out his coat and turning to Coran to examine the smaller pup first with his eyes and then, if his brother let him, his nimble fingertips, claws sheathed. “You okay? I saw him land a hit…””

He grinned then, relief and belated thrill of a battle setting in, adding, “Gave him a good scrap, didn’t we? I’m just glad it was us and not Justice’s kids it came across. We’re old enough to hold our own, but they’re still so young…” The thought sent a shudder through him.







Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think

Ardyn's family (Red, Aurielle, Siblings, Valhalla) are allowed to crash threads, regardless of private tags.

Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.

Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.

More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.

His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.

A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.

Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.

He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
