Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi

He trotted ahead of Cairo in the whipping wind, squinting against the snow splattering his face. Sure, the weather wasn’t so great, but it would be a challenge, right? His fur, where it was exposed to the wind, blazed like a bed of hot coals under a harsh breath, and his ink black face was enhanced by the fiery light.

He’d worn his cloak under his armor, and the hood refused to stay up over his ears, so, the tips of his ears were a bit chilly, but he ignored them as he tramped around in a wide circle of what he was pretty sure was flat ground, while Cairo took a spot in the lee of a tall boulder, shaking off the snow plastered over his face and armor with a rattle.

Ardyn, meanwhile, gave himself a shake and tested the ground under his paws, fingers of his front paws flexing and kneading the ground to get a feel for it. When he was ready, he cleared his throat and tossed a howl into the air, a thick cloud of steam flooding from his jaws and around his canines, only to be whipped away in a heartbeat as he perked his ears, eyes scanning for any takers.

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.
