Strix somewhat resemble humans but with several differences like jet-black skin, fixed pupilless eyes, slitted nostrils, pointy ears, and two large dark raven-like wings. They are nocturnal creatures, able to see in the dark, and highly territorial.
Their society is small, and most form tight-knit groups where individuals are very much valued, while murder is unheard of unless done by an outsider. They also possess deep hatred towards humans, though the reasons behind it are now lost.
While most Strix would like nothing else than to be left alone and live in seclusion, some aren’t content with their lives and so they decide to venture into the world where they become known, with names like Eesfaan, Niirnaa, Uunkiir, and Aandii.

While Strix have a rather sinister look to them, with dark skin, pupilless eyes, slitten nostrils, and two large raven-like wings, they would like nothing more than to be left alone for all eternity. Living in close communities they value each other, everyone tries to contribute at all times, and while they live in one place the stories claim their ancient real home is actually far away. Their language is a strange mixture of Azlanti and Infernal, a fact that only adds to the overall mystery of their race. Think about who their parents are or were, how the character was raised, what goals they might have, what might be the reason for leaving the family, and create a name worthy of the higher cause the character is acting upon.
