The Rera

The Rera (occasionally spelled Rerá) are a race of transforming people and wyverns from the Moga region.

Presumably descended from ancient Wyvernians as well as the Limestaen, they were blessed in the very early days with the ability to transform their bodies into a wyvern form. This was traditionally done with hand magic; however, as the days grew longer and the years drew on, the people began to lose their skill with hand magic and the families which had been blessed in the early days forged swords, imbibed with their magic. These swords, which are always twain, are swung skyward to allow the Rera to transform.

Biology
Species: Homo Volanti (Flying Man)

Common name: Rerai

True form: Human/Wyvern Hybrid

The Rera begin their lives in human households, drifting between dragon and human forms without conscious effort. As they grow, they learn how to control their transformations. Those who do not often develop Dimidia, a disorder which launches them into permanent half-being status. Dimidian Rerai are called "Half-scales" and are often adopted by human households as slaves or indentured servants. If free, they often make their own mirroring societies in caves.

Normal Rerai will continue to grow until they are around 12, and will then take flight. They can and will make nests in high trees and build humanlike houses, and will live their until they bear children. When they do, they typically find a human's household to take shelter in. The life cycle then begins again.

Behavior
Kind, understanding people, but quite humanlike. Accurate, but prone to naivety; happy, but prone to depression; they are quite affable and easy to get along with. They often have relationships with humans, and can reproduce with them.

They are not very territorial outside of their nests.
