Emry

(Original Character Description posted by Bepis (ascended) on August 28, 2020)
Name: Emry

Gender: Male

Species: Screech Owl

Descrption: Quite large for a burrowing owl, with light red feathers, resembling the feather pattern of an elf owl.

Chaw: Not tapped yet

Personality: Studious and intellectual. Quite a historian in his own right, as he is obsessed with learning as much as he can about the tales and heros of old. Quite naive in his interpretations of his hero's actions, and tends to see only good and evil in people. This perception of owl-kind may be shattered as he grows up. He's quiet but likes a good joke every once in a while, if he's the one making it. As a more introverted owl, he can annoy the extroverted owls that he tends to make friends with through his insistence of doing his own thing.

Backstory: After a forest fire in Tyto, Enry is seperated from his parents, there whereabouts unknown. Being an owl who has only just begun independent flight, he goes to search for his parents in the flames, but is injured after being distracted by the light of the flames, and grazing his leg on a charred branch. After crying out for help, he is rescued by an owl from the great Ga'hoole tree, where he quickly becomes engaged in the culture of the tree. He still holds out hope that his parents may have survived.

Basic Info
Emry was created on the server on August 28, 2020, with his introduction post by player Bepis (Ascended) on the same day being the first cannon post in the #Tyto-Forest channel. During this introduction post, a wild-fire destroys all of Tyto Forest on the west side of the River of Hoole, which separates the forest. This fire would later be confirmed to be an attack by the owl, Kulipe, who wished to see the destruction of the forest after being brainwashed by her parents and family to believe the barn owls in the forest were all remaining pure-ones. Emry survived the fire by hiding near the river and calling for help, which came in the form of the Agiau Siblings, two Burrowing owls who had just recently arrived at the tree. Silver and Marigold Agiau (Played by MarcyStrix, currently ">:)") had been indirectly responsible for the fire, after being tricked into finding the ember that Kulipe would use to start the fire.

Silver carried Emry back to the tree where Emry would heal. Slowly, Emry and Silver began to fall in love. The two are currently engaged.

Solomon's Proposal
During Solomon's (Nyaox) Proposal to Luna (Nyaox) in the dining hollow, Silver revealed his and Marigold's involvement in the Tyto forest fire, after discovering that Kulipe had been captured by Alba (ServerWanderer) and her team. This led to a short fued and distrust between the two, but they soon made up, Emry showing his returned trust by sharing some research into flecks with Silver and Marigold. During this event, Marigold hinted at the idea of Silver and Emry being "meant-to-be", which ended up being true.

Kulipe's Legacy Arc
After Kulipe is captured, and Emry finally comes to terms with his parent's deaths, Emry is wracked with grief as Kulipe is locked in the Great Tree's dungeon. Confronting her, Emry makes the decision to have Kulipe's life story, Emry then writes a book detailing Kulipe's life, giving it to the Monarchs for them to review and place in the tree's library. The goal is to document one's descent into darkness, due to the lack of truth. After this, Truth becomes Emry's main guiding value.

Palace of Mists, and Proposal
After hearing about a supposed secret library hidden behind a waterfall in Silverveil, Emry and the twins traveled their as a vacation to forget about Kulipe's execution by Alba in Tyto. Here, Silver proposed to Emry with a silver ring he had made in secret with the assistance of his sister. Silver and Emry would return multiple times to the Palace, as it becomes a favorite spot for them. They plan to have their honeymoon there after their wedding.

Marvin and Morse Code Arc
After introducing a short novel series called "Morvin and Morse" to Emry, he thought back to his father's books he had read to him as an owlet, where he recognized the name "Morse". Emry, wanting to learn more, travelled with the Agiau's to the remaining side of Tyto forest, where a makeshift book-store had been formed by a tough, one-eyed magpie, implied to be a descendent of Mags, had formed in the ruins of an old Human Barn. During the trip, Emry and the twins were attacked by crow scout sent from Saint Ruthies, surviving with severe injuries.

Silver, being the least damaged, with a small amount of sand harming his gizzard, flew to the barn, where he collected a healing book for his fiance's broken leg, and his sister's dislocated wing, in addition to the book they had originally come for. After a few nights of healing, the team travelled back to the Great Tree.

Once the team returned, Emry had begun studying the book, attempting to derive his own variant of Morse Code that can be useful to the tree. So far, this has been unsuccessful, and led to slight relationship trouble between Emry and his Fiance.
