The Pavo are very prideful beings, especially when it comes to their beauty. They are not afraid of their base form, which usually takes the form of a humanoid peacock. The males are the like their earthen counterparts, in that they are a single dark color with bright feathers and accents. The females are much the same as the males, although their colorings stick with the pale pastel colors as the body and the bright colors for the feathers and accents. The ruler is the only one that is different and that comes about when one is born all one color. The belief with the Pavo is that the Pavo born with such coloring does not need for the colors because they were born for greatness already.

The shifting abilities are quite different from most shifters, the creature kind. usually those have a single other form or most three other forms. The Pavo’s magic allows for them to shift into any other humanoid creature or being that their kind is familiar with. They do not have limits on their skills except for their experience in years shifting. The younger ones are not going to have a tight grasp and may shift out of the new form if they are emotional or low on energy.

The Pavo do not experience sickness. Occasionally there are those born with mental or physical defects, but the Pavo embrace them and help them to use their differences in a positive way. They see it is a blessing that comes with a price, but can be beneficial for the community and the individual. If the community finds that a child has been born with a mental health or physical issue, they all work together to support and raise the child. Children with the Pavo are rare, so they cherish and love every one that comes to them.

Their lifespans are decently long, close to a couple thousand years. The current leader is the equivalent of 1200 years our time. They don’t have to deal with sickness, but there is a select time frame in which a Pavo female can conceive safely. This time frame is between the years of 300-400 years and then again at 1100-1400 years. After those time frames, they are not able to safely carry a child to term. A male can get another female pregnant from a different race, but the child will take after the mother. Only those born from female Pavo are able to be born as Pavo. Although, there are special cases where a male is able to carry and birth a child, as well a different race female being able to give birth to a Pavo.

The Pavo have not gone into deep details in regards to the mating aspects of their culture. There are very specific parts to it that are still remaining secret to their culture until I am able to learn more about them.

The Pavo are very open when it comes to relationships. A fair few of the Pavo are in service of other Realms and races as professional spies under the guise of Escorts. They do have a very sexual nature to them, but they are not inherently sexual like the Ubi’s. The Pavo are very open to fluid relationships with multiple people or they can be monogamous. It’s the individual’s preference.
