Hengeyokai help ?????

[euronymous]

I am going to start playing a Hengeyokai (sparrow) monk in a new F realms campaign and was wondering if anybody had any whacky ideas or bird-like nuances my character could roleplay and make it fun for the rest of our group without giving my race away ??

thanks in advance !!!

peck at your food

perch instead of sit

turn your entire head quickly to look at something, instead of just your eyes

Oh, I love it.

We had a sparrow-hengeyokai in the first OA game I ever ran. It was a few weeks before anyone found out.

But they knew he was odd right away.

First, his tendency to chirp when talking. For a big, heavy, bearded guy (the player that is), this was pretty distinctive.

And there was the way he held his head when talking to people.

But most importantly was the famous line when he met the guy with the pole-arm: "You have to put a cover on that thing! You could hurt somebody flying by!"

preen yourself with your mouth, constantly setting hairs straight and removing stains.

when at rest, stand around on one leg.

keep a mouthful of seed going, always cracking them open and spitting out the hulls.

leave "presents" on the other players windsheilds.

Most birds do not move fluidly. Instead, every motion is a series of lightning-quick miniature spasms of movement.

Actual walking/running would be a bit different, but they'd still have the tendency to come to an apparently unnaturally abrupt halt when done, or even a couple times crossing the room, etc...

Hmmm... I've done that anyways for as long as I can remember...

Darn!

Whistle a lot. The higher the pitch, the better.
