So I have been working on my character's backstory for a little while now, and have basically come to a stopping point. Due to the GM being posted out of state, I'm not sure what is going to happen to poor old Iceglint. Which is too bad, since there is a lot in the story that fleshes out the Aarakocra and how they might interact with other cultures. I had spent quite some time thinking about what kinds of things they might do when dealing with other races, and while the various write-ups of the species paints things in broad strokes, the nitty gritty details that would make them interesting are left to the imagination.

Iceglint is a character that is necessarily a bit outside the norm for most aarakocra, who for the most part are isolationist. But in a world where at least a subset of the sky folk have to deal with outsiders, they would develop certain coping mechanisms, several of which I tried to work out in this document.

Feel free to read it, and hopefully it will at least entertain you. It still needs a lot of work, and an ending, as detailed by the notes at the end of the document. I am open to any comments and constructive criticisms you may have. In addition, you may also think about some aspects of aarakocra life that I may not have, and those inputs would also be useful in fleshing out their ethnology (such as it is).

I've added quite a bit since the last posting (on Mar 12), but it's still not done. I am a bit more happy with it, though. This version also includes an introductory prologue giving an overview of the character, and the racial write-up from the D&D books. And some pictures, some made by me (Iceglint, and Eyrie-Above-The-Rainbows) and some scavenged from the web.
