Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi

Ulric’s friendly greeting brought a grin to his features and he admitted in an undertone, “Mother thinks I might get taller than my grandfather… maybe even my great-great grandfather. I’ll be glad to stop growing…” He chuckled softly, tail still swaying in its usual fiery way.

His mother stepped up beside him then, engaging Ulric in her usual graceful way, and Ardyn’s ears perked as Ulric commented that it’d been a rough recent couple of seasons. No kidding, though as Ulric made introductions, Ardyn grinned at Artorias, nodding as he took a seat, tail flicking in a sort of learned habit from his mother, long and still growing hair flicking to rest over his front paws.

He listened with interest as Ulric explained the situations, studying Artorias with interest. So, he was an heir, too?

“Great to meet you, too, Artorias. If ever you want to spar at some point, call me up.”

His sabers flashed in a grin, an offer of friendship, both current and future. His eyes turned to his mother at Ulric’s query, wondering what all she’d speak of. There was a lot to cover if she went the full story, route.

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.
