So I may have created a snowy owl arakkoa character

This is a quick reference for Ska’Shiye. He is the last (or one of the last) of his kind, hence the title of One-Prince. His people lived in Frostfire Ridge and prided themselves in being the top predators and warriors of the land. He wears a talbuk skull as both part of his armor and to show his status, since he had to hunt the beast himself away from the safety of the sleet winds of Frostfire down to Shadowmoon Valley where he could’ve been spotted by their enemy, the raven worshipping arakkoa. 

They are about a head/head and a half taller than normal arakkoa, and think of their sun-worshipping cousins as carrion feeders and thieves that value trinkets over honor like the scavenging crows and ravens their idolize. They see themselves as true hunters and warriors; they’re fighters, predators.

It is uncertain why their numbers have declined.

Only the higher caste wear layering armor and clothing. The warriors and hunters wear little so as to remain as silent as possible when flying, and to blend in better with their snowy, bleak home.
