Nobody is quite sure how the ixifar, or "Phoenix Folk" as they are sometimes called, came to be. Legend says that they were nomads once. Wandering through the desert, they chanced upon a golden oasis ruled by an ancient phoenix, who welcomed them and, in time, blessed them as its own children. Thus do all ixifar share the phoenix's vibrant plumage and strong connection to the Prime.

Physical Description

The ixifar are noted for their feathers, which can be any number of brilliant hues. This plummage always appears somewhere on their upper body, usually on their heads or shoulders, although how much of it covers their body tends to vary. Rarely, an ixifar may be born with other phoenix-like features, such as wings, a beak, or gold-tinted skin. Because such traits are considered to be evidence of the phoenix's favor, ixifar bearing them are regarded with special reverence among their people.

Personality

The ixifar are a passionate folk, with a verve for life as well as a burning temper. Despite being difficult to handle at times, most are good-hearted, virtuous, and loyal to a fault. Almost all ixifar show a preference for being in the sunlight, as well as a pecular aversion for snakes, Dragons, and other serpentine creatures. Because this cannot be attributed to a cultural origin, most scholars agree that these traits are simply a part of the ixifars' phoenix heritage.

Relations

Ixifar share the elves' and fairies' respect for life, and so tend to have good relations with them. They admire the pride and ferocity of the Angori, as well. Ixifar have little in common with the dark-dwelling dwarves and urdek, however, and view homunculi as pitiful mockeries of true life.

Ixifar Adventurers

Although many ixifar cling to their familial roots, some do venture out into the world to experience life in all of its variety and grandeur. They may join adventuring groups for many reasons, be it a sense of belonging, a thirst for excitement, or even simple charity. Others are glad to welcome them, as well, because ixifar are known for being fiercely loyal friends.

Costuming Requirements

Ixifar characters are required to wear gold, red, purple, blue, green, or white feathers on their head and/or shoulders. Many favor gold jewelry and loose desert clothing.
