Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi

A flash of a smile touched Ardyn’s features as he shook his head, fur sparking within the hood of his cloak. “Not in the slightest. I’m making a fish trap.” He raised the basket to indicate it as he wove another frond into place, slanting a glance to the older alpha with consideration.

The man was studying him with curiosity, and he didn’t really have to guess why. Eligos had met him prior to his markings coming in, and he tipped his head in acknowledgement. “Apparently growing up into adulthood came with some changes.”

He regarded the fishing basket thoughtfully as another willow bough was worked into the vertical fronds. Would wrapping some of his hairs around the frame help it stay lit so he could see it? The glow didn’t last more than an hour after the hair was plucked, but still.. He tucked the consideration aside for the time being.

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.
