The Gryphons

The Gryphon Kingdom consists of many Gryphons that reside peacefully in a rocky, mountainous valley. They train as chicks to pursue the duties that they dream of, and when they have been serving the Queen for a fair amount of time and she sees them as loyal, she will grant them with what is called a Legacy. A Legacy is a gift given to those special Gryphons that can be one of two options that the Gryphon may choose from. S/he may request to be given a human form, where s/he now has the ability to craft things that Gryphons cannot, and can associate and befriend true humans to better understand them. If they wish, she can instead make them into a Greater Gryphon. A Greater Gryphon is distinguished from other Gryphons by being larger overall, more muscular, having showier markings that can swirl or twist, and having fancier feathers in addition to the feathers that they do have. Crested Gryphons may have an extended, flowing crest for example, or they may have a flamboyant tail. This form is permanent, but well worth it to those who wish to dedicate themselves to the duties of a soldier. It not only makes them more attractive, but much stronger.

-Royal Bodyguard (You fight alongside other soldiers, but your job is solely protecting the Queen.)

Environment of the Kingdom

Coming over the rocky, tree-dappled mountains from soaring high above, you can see a vast, bowl-shaped valley framed in a range of mountains and trees. A large plateau stands high above the bustling kingdom, attached to the highest peak of all the mountains in the area, with a long trail of water-beaten stepping stones leading up to this area looming all the way down the side of the mountain and touching into the kingdom. The village itself is a forest with many conifers and Oaks, a river running through and snaking around trees and foliage. Many hares, squirrels, voles, and deer roam the area, which gryphons may hunt for food.

-Adonia's rock. A long, flat plateau protrudes from the tallest peak in the mountain range, where Adonia spends most of her time. It is not reserved to a certain people, but lower, less trusted warriors or less experienced warriors must ask of the bodyguards' permission to pass, and even still, they are to be escorted, not left to go alone. Trusted warriors and bodyguards may come and go as they please. This is where a warrior may go if he or she wishes to be given a Legacy.

-The Salmon Rapids. These raging rapids are always a plentiful feast for the Gryphons with it's many slickery uphill jumps from boulder to boulder, where the many Salmon and other fishes leap. Gryphons love to talk and socialize here as they feed.

-The Whispering Creek. A small creek of calmer waters branches off of the river and departs toward the east, where it reaches the very smallest mountain with a peculiar cave that leads all the way from one side to the other. The cave glitters with fools' gold and glows with an unearthly light during the twilight hours. Small fishes like minnows swim along here, but aren't considered very palatable for the Gryphons. They often come here to escape the hustle and bustle, and to calm themselves.

-The Village. A vast collection of caves all along the mountain range, some Gryphon-made and some naturally occuring. These many caves are where the Gryphons sleep at night.

-The Forest. A lushly green forest with dense foliage, cool climate, and many conifer trees with some massive Oaks scattered about. Gryphons may hunt here for small mammals.

Members:

Queen Adonia: She is a gorgeous Phillipine Eagle/Golden tabby Tiger Gryphon. She has the forelimbs, wings and head of a Phillipine Eagle, with hazel eyes. Being a Greater Gryphon, she possesses a size larger than most Gryphons, and which has also blessed her with a muscular figure, near-immortality, and beautiful, showy feathers. Alongside the usual, square-shaped tail of the Philippine eagle that overlaps her tiger one, are two long, curled brown feathers barred with cream given to her by her Legacy, alongside that, her bouffant crest of feathers is elongated, giving her the appearance of having a feathered lion's mane. She has radiant golden brown fur along the rest of her body, with rich mohogany stripes from her shoulders to her tail. Her tail is fairly short, with some few black stripes, and it is always curled. Adonia is distrustful, critical, and often says things that are harsher than what she meant to say. She is strict; assigning guards to protect every nook of the rocky border of her village below and keep an eye out for suspicious activity. She resides on the cliff, and rarely leaves there, because she can see all that goes on from up there and it is also the best place to sunbathe. She really spends most of her day lazing around, grooming, and sunning, but still manages to keep the kingdom in good shape. BirdNut

Princess Ambrosia: Her deceased father was a mighty Harpy Eagle/Maltese Tiger, and her mother, as stated above, is a Phillipine Eagle/Golden tabby Tiger. She appears to have taken mostly after her father, having silken blue-slate colored fur with thin black striping. Her head is also more like the Harpy Eagle; being gray with a round neck ruff, but with a beak slighly larger in proportion, because of the Philipine Eagle blood. She has a Legacy like her mother, and she has several elongate, gracefully flowing black feathers streaming from the back of her head. Her wings are black with an incredibly large wingspan that allows her to fly far without much effort. Stunningly beautiful with a heart of gold and wisdom beyond her years, she has caught the eye of many. BirdNut

Méli, Queen's assistant: Méli is a Tibetan Wolf/Honey Buzzard Gryphon with a wooly, striped body, a slightly snout shaped and very sharp beak, sharp black talons, massive wings, and gleaming yellow eyes. She is very fearsome looking. She is sometimes very calm, patient, and sweet, yet other times furious, evil, and best to be avoided. She can hunt well and fly quickly. She was hatched by an eagle in a wildlife park. Flew away when the bird's owner almost killed her while she was a chick. duckluv

Orik, Princess's body guard: Orik is a Terror bird/Tasmanian wolf Gryphon. A Magnificent Pattern of black and gray feathers line his slender back and neck. Long, sharp blue-ish claws and a plated but spiked tail. He has magnificent orange/silver eyes, and black stripe patterned feathers on the lower back. A dull, Terror Bird beak with brown as the base color of the beak and small white spots splotched dappled around. He is protective of the princess and loyal only to the royals. He trusts everyone in the alliance except for Bedros, and tries to keep him afar the royals. He is a swift, speedy flier and an excellent fighter. He was born near a Fox den, where the mother Fox, Tali, took him in and raised him with her cub, Nek. Then, when he was a soldier-aged Gryphon, he decided to leave, with Tali's acceptance; though he still visits Tali and Nek when not guarding the Princess. 44Wolves

Nero, Soldier: A stunning Melanistic Jaguar-Crow Gryphon, with yellow eyes that seem to stare right through you once her gaze falls upon you. She is an experienced, trusted warrior of Adonia, and requested to become a greater Gryphon, thus blessing her with the same near-immortality, enlarged figure, and showier feathers. Her tail is like that of a male Resplendant Quetzal, being long, flowing, and tapered; but only black instead. She has the forelimbs of a Crow and the brutish figure, hindlimbs, and tail of a melanistic jaguar under her feathered one. Adorning her slate body are ink-black ocelli that range from her shoulders, all the way down her spine, touching the top of her tail and endind in some few stripes. She is quiet and rarely speaks, and she is extremely calm and serene in nature. She usually stays away from social areas of the village, because of her need for calm aire. She is a diligent soldier who willingly fights to the death whenever necessary, and devotes herself to protecting the kingdom. BirdNut

Thanatos, Soldier: A grumpy, close-minded, easily-agitated, and pessimistic Great Horned Owl-Liger Gryphon. He never seems happy, always furrowing, cringing, or grumbling about one thing or another. It is best not to get on his bad side, and he has no tolerance for immature Gryphons, but has limited tolerance for chicks. He is a diligent Soldier who is working hard to earn his Legacy and the full trust of Adonia. BirdNut

Bedros, Soldier: Bedros is a fairly young, beginning soldier. He is an average Gryphon, being a Lion-bald Eagle cross. He possesses a white head, yellow eyes, small, rounded ears, and he is silken gold with a curly tassle at the end of his long tail. He was born in the Rebel Citadel, but denied their law out of concience and escaped. He often speaks and acts before he thinks, in turn leading him into trouble. He isn't the brightest, but he is very soft-hearted and loving. He always puts others before himself. BirdNut

Oulí, Armour Smith: Oulí is a Goshawk/Grizzly Bear Gryphon. He has a thick brown pelt, with a jagged scar running down his left wing. Nobody but he and another knows how he got his scar. He is generally calm, and quiet. He is very good at his work. His history is not anything exciting; he was hatched by his mom, raised by her, when he was old enough he flew off. duckluv

Apollo, Soldier: Apollo is a mellow, laid-back, and fearless Bateleur/King Cheetah Gryphon who can sometimes come across as arrogant, because of his proficiency in battle. He has the bright red face and pinkish forelimbs of the Bateleur, with ink-black feathers reaching to his spine, where it intertwines and blends to the short, black fur mane, long, curled tail, and the swift hindlimbs of the King Cheetah. He has thick black lines painted straight down his back, with round black spots dotting the rest of his body. Feathers of velvety black frame his red face, with a sharply decurved beak tipped in slate and short, round black ears fringed with white. A narrow, vertical scar that is nearly void of feathers lines one cheek from battle, but he is still very handsome with his eye-catching patterns and somewhat muscular build. BirdNut

Wafer Sri, Medical Gryphon: Sri is a wise, secretive but polite Shikra/Cheetah Gryphon. She is skilled in her duties, and can also fight if she so wishes. She was just a wanderer until she found the Kingdom. crazyaboutchickens

Halia, Queen's body guard: Halia is a Clever and very loyal Red fox/Perigrine falcon Gryphon. She fights suprisingly well despite her smaller size, and can take on even some of the largest opponents. ChickieBooBoo

Adara, Soldier: Adara is a Long-crested Eagle/Ocelot gryphon. Graceful patterns adorn her orangey red face, soft brown eyes below a crest of long black feathers. She has long wings with a slender build, she is small, has Ocelot hind legs and tail, and crested eagle wings melt into the Ocelot pattern. She came from high in the chain of royalty but of late has lived the life of a lost wanderer. She is usually her formal self, in charge, somewhat snotty and loud, but wary of everything at times. Her family was betrayed by a guard of her home and she was stolen at a very young age bye a rival group, with the help of one of them she escaped and landed here. Gerbil

Eudora, Soldier: A stunningly beautiful Swallow-tailed Kite/Albinistic Cheetah Gryphon.

She is bolder than most and does not hesitate to speak her mind. BirdNut

Long trailing feathers cover his ears, thick red fur mane with a pattered brown neck, two white strips cross his emerald eyes and touch a beak of ebony. Hind legs and tail of a bay cat and front limbs of an eagle with flecks of satin red. He is a skilled fisher and has the power to be so annoying you can't help but smile. Gerbil

The rings of a Great gray surround his ruby eyes, thick long orange and black fur runs down a ridge on his back and down to the tip of his tail.

He came from the mountains, is Milo's brother, and they were both hatched and raised together, but their home was destroyed, so they fled here many years ago. Gerbil

Adonis, warrior: Adonis is a Barn Owl/Tiger gryphon. He has a rather mysterious past; he fell from the sky and that is all he remembers. He can jump very high, and is very loving in nature. melovefrench

Chara, chick: Chara is a bubbly, silly little American Kestral/Red Panda Gryphon that can find a bright side to nearly everything. She is beautiful with her plush, fluffy reddish fur and long, striped bushy tail that has an overlaying Kestral tail with an intriguing pattern. Her wings are swallow-like and tapered, allowing for fast flight. She is short, and the smallest Gryphon in the whole of the Kingdom. She has stubby legs but very sharp claws that are made for climbing trees and capable of ripping and shredding meat. She was rescued from impending death by Apollo, who found her parentless, after some rogues murdured her parents. She was too young at that time to be affected much more than having the pain of knowing linger in the back of her mind. She enjoys annoying Apollo by calling him 'Uncle Appy' or 'Uncle Apollo', to which he usually responds by rolling his eyes or chuckling. BirdNut

Thalassa, chick: Thalassa is a sweet, and caring Elk/Seagull Hippogriff. She is brown and thin-skinned, has a long bill and wings that are patterned with black and white, and she has six spiraling horns atop her head that she is great at using to defend herself. She was hatched by Meli, but her father is unknown. duckluv



Names are preferred to be in Greek, because Gryphons are mythical creatures originating in Greece. A good website you may check out www.behindthename.com to find one for your gryphon.
