Description
The Chikori are actually three separate and distinct avian species that have been closely living and working together since before they gained sentience. As a result their social and societal distinctions have been blended together creating the unified race known as the Chikori. Most Chikori are between 135 and 160 cm tall, weigh between 40-50 kg, have two arms and two legs with 3 digits on their hands and feet and are covered in soft feathers of various colors, with longer flight feathers on their tails and undersides of their arms. Eye colors can vary but are usually yellow, orange, blue, gray or green.
Society
Integrated Society
Each member of the Chikori race recognizes that they are all different and unique, with their own opinions and beliefs but try to all work towards the betterment of Chikori kind as a whole. Because of this Chikori tend to excel in multi-racial settlements and cities when away from Chikori society.
Resourceful
Chikori tend to use what is useful and accessible and try not to worry too much about tomorrow or the next day if they can help it. This motto helps many of their members get by in their strange and unique world but it also tends to make most Chikori a bit short sighted.
