'''Background:''' Bluewing was something of a “shaman” or “wise man” in his tribe of Aarakocrans, partially thanks to his charming manners, but due mostly to his mental powers. There were two warring families in the tribe, and Bluewing dedicated his life to ending the blood feud. Decades later, Bluewing finally succeeded, and he was able to retire, only to find that he much life left and no wish to end his days pining for the past. Hearing of the turmoil in Raam, he finds out all he can about the factions and layout of the city-state, then makes his way on his still-bright blue wings.

'''Personality:''' Bluewing is a quiet, stoic bird man, that tends to speak at the right moments, seeing himself as an advisor to all (even if they didn’t ask or want his advice). He feels the purpose of his life is to get people of a community to band together and to stop fighting amongst each other. His powers are mostly that of healing and communication, although he can stun troublemakers with mental strength if need be.

'''Appearance:''' Bluewing has a red feathered head and green feathered torso, purple feathered legs, with a bright yellow beak and long blue arms with big blue wings underneath. Upon closer inspection, there are small patches where some feathers have fallen out, and it is hard to tell if his eyes are often half-shut due to deep contemplation, or due to advanced age. He wears some small trinkets around his neck that signify him as a “wise man” of his people.
