Royal Hawk
History
Written by: Joshua W. Murcray
It is a very long story, but to cut it down, for now, let us just say that the Ancient Aliens people were partially right. The bird-headed Kemetian god, Hor'us, really was a member of an alien race. Before leaving Eden, he and his sister were cursed by the priests and when they died, back on their home planet of Shi'tha'nar'ia they were reborn as human babies (twins) back here on Eden.
Now, with each death, they are reincarnated here on Eden and always as twins. All of their memories come with them and they become the foremost authorities on ancient history in each life.
But Fate, or Merlyn Emrys, has a sense of Fairness, as both Hor'us and his sister were born to Shi'tha'nar'ian Envoys, at their recently constructed Embassy in Suchowola, Rzeczpospolita Polska.
Hor'us's current incarnation is named S'hey'an Two-of-Nine and he has become a specialist on ancient textiles. Oh, and on the side he dabbles in fashion design. But even better is that he, once again, has his wings back and this time he is more afriad of dying and losing them then he ever has been before.
Gifts
(See The Grid)
Shi'tha'nar'ian Physiological Abilities
Shi'tha'nar'ians possess several gifts that are common to members of their race, but sets them apart from normal humans. A Shi'tha'nar'ians life span is significantly greater than that of a normal human being. At one-hundred years of age, a Shi'tha'nar'ian physically resembles a thirty-year-old Eden human. A Shi'tha'nar'ian is also physically more endurable than the average Eden human. They are stronger, with greater stamina and a greater resistance to pain. Shi'tha'nar'ians also possess enhanced senses.
_____Enhanced Vision: A Shi'tha'nar'ians eyesight is more acute than a normal human and their range of vision is similar to that of a bird.
_____Enhanced Hearing: A Shi'tha'nar'ians auditory senses are also particularly acute and they can perceive sounds with greater clarity than the average human.
_____Speed: Flight: Natural Flight: Powered by his wings, Royal Hawk can take flight and soar for long periods of time, having the same range as the average birds of Eden.
_____Strength: Heavyweight: The average Shi'tha'nar'ians can lift 1 ton in Eden-like gravity and has far greater stamina.
Audiokinesis
Royal Hawk, like many of his species, has control over the intensity and volume of his voice to the point that his scream can shatter glass, rend metal, and pulverize rock. His control over the sound of his voice includes the following:
_____Induce Sleep
_____Sonic Scream
_____Sonar
_____Sonic Shield
_____Sound Disruption
_____Sound Immunity
_____Superhuman Vocal Stamina
_____Vocal Disorientation
_____Vocal Trance
_____Vocal Unconsciousness
Blessing:
Though Hor'ust'yfu'sry'fyf'jst'rmy'kes'hey'an and his sister view it as a Curse, in fact the priests Blessed them with not only returning to Eden with each life, but that they would never be apart. As of current day, the two of them seem to be immortal in spirit only, as their human bodies can be killed.
Divine Empowerment: Royal Hawk was granted the ability to breathe underwater, by the god Neptsidon.
Skill(s)
(See The Grid)
Reincarnated Knowledge:
Due to his many lives and vast amount of experience, S'hey'an Two-of-Nine is a brilliant tactician, fierce warrior and strong leader. At the same time, however, he is extremely intelligent (considered a leader in his field of history and archaeology). Often, S'hey'an finds it difficult to balance between the "barbarian" of his past lives and the "gentleman" of his current incarnation. He also has an extremely innovative approach to science and technology. Below is just a sample of his abilities:
Animal Empathy: S'hey'an has learned the language of hawks and has grown familiar with the language of the beasts, including wolves, bears, and deer.
Archaeology: S'hey'an is considered one of the greatest archaeologists in the Kemetian field. He and his sister are both at the top of the list.
Aviation
_____Ariel Combat
Driving: Due to nearly a century's worth of acquired knowledge, Chay'na has driven and worked on automobiles since their first mass produced models.
_____Expert Motorcyclist
Fighting: ShichidanpIn'a':
_____Firearms: S'hey'an keeps all the skills of his previous incarnation and as such is very efficient with firearms due to his tenure as a gunslinger.
_____Martial Arts Master
_____Weapons Master: S'hey'an is a master with medieval weaponry due to centuries of utilizing such tools.

Master Acrobat
Medicine: She was a nurse in U.S. Navy during World War II.

Multilingualism: S'hey'an knows thousands of languages, existing or extinct.
Pedagogy
Telepathic Resistance: In a previous life, S'hey'an was taught how to defend his mind from mental attacks by Genesis.
Weaknesses
Vocal Strain: His vocal cords are susceptible to injury from excessive strain in using his sonic powers.
Equipment
Image Transmitter Mesh: Royal Hawk wears a specially designed mesh that lines all of his clothes and uniforms that allow him to appear to be human. While holographic, it is called "hard-light" which mean it has form and substance. If someone were to feel his face, they would feel his human face. But underneath this hard-light mask is the head, talons, feathers and feet of a bird of prey.
8thbranium Armor: His armor is made of the rarest metal on Eden, 8thbranium. With his chestpiece, belt, wing-guards and braces (all designed him), his already natural physical abilities are greatly enhanced. The armor is psycho-reactive, responding to its bearer's thoughts, and in its base form has a number of electromagnetic/gravitational properties. Some examples are:
_____Accelerated Healing: Parkerallel: Able to heal near-lethal injuries by regenerating/healing cells to a limited extent. For example: his wings are capable of repairing themselves when damaged.
_____Energy Transference: With every beat of his wings, the kinetic energy is transferred to his armor where it augments his abilities, as well as powers up his gauntlets.
_____Enhanced Durability: Though it is lightweight and does not slow his speed, the armor is bullet-proof and has even taken the impact of a tank mortar with no damage to it or him.
_____Enhanced Hearing: He can hear a whisper from one mile away.
_____Enhanced Vision: His eyesight is as sharp as the birds of prey on Eden. He is able to pinpoint small objects from over a mile away, even able to read the fine print of a contract or book at that same distance. For him, everything is in focus at all times.
_____Reflexes: Alt-Enhanced: Able to sustain, by way of unnatural augmentation, for several hours.
_____Self-Sustenance: His body does not require food or water while wearing the armor.
_____Strength: Heavyweight: He is able to lift 1,000 kg (1 metric ton) to 10,000 kg (10 metric tons).
_____Temperature Regulation: As his species require warmth and are susceptible to the cold, his armor radiates heat and helps keep his body at the right temperature.
Weapons
Archaic Weaponry: Royal Hawk has access to an entire arsenal of medieval weaponry, from maces to gauntlets and so on.
Armored Gauntlets: These gauntlets are spelled to harness the energy his wings produce in motion. This gives them a destructive and explosive impact. But it takes some time to recharge.
Sword: While he normally does battle with a sword his sister is much more versatile in its use and he tends to use his armored talons more.
Wing-Tips: Though normally listed under Equipment his armor is designed to be used as a weapon. The "elbow" of each wing has metal blades to not only protect them from impact, but can be used to slice through an opponent. Each piece of armor doubles as a weapon that he continues to train in their effectiveness.
Trivia
(Physical Features/Speaking Voice/Likely Vocabulary/Characteristics/Mannerisms)
Besties: After their first meeting, Royal Hawk and Quark have become best friends and communicate often.
Family Legacy: His current incarnation is the offspring of a direct-line descendant of Hor'us. He is now the great24 grandchild of his original self.
Family Name: In order to establish a line here on Eden, and in accordance with his peoples tradition, S'hey'an is named after his father, Hor'ust'yfu'sry'fyf'jst'rmy'kes'hey'a, 1st Generation of the 9th Dynasty. However, unlike humans, in Shi'tha'nar'ian culture, the males add the last letter of the mothers name to the end of their name. Therefore, Hor'ust'yfu'sry'fyf'jst'rmy'kes'hey'a becomes Hor'ust'yfu'sry'fyf'jst'rmy'kes'hey'an, 2nd Generation of the 9th Dynasty.
Healthy Eating: He is a vegetarian.
Sibling Differences: He is into looking good and posing while fighting or flying.
Twin: S'hey'an has a twin sister, C'hay'na Two-of-Nine. She is the older sibling, this time, by just a few minutes.
