Ferry Ra

NAME: Reggie Nakamura.
NICKNAME: "White Cloak" (for his recognizable silhouette and the fact that he always appears where rare creatures disappear).
AGE: 27 years.
OCCUPATION: rare creature hunter (officially, biological anomaly consultant to wealthy collectors; unofficially, someone who knows where legends are found).
APPEARANCE: Light black hair, pale turquoise eyes
A scar on his cheek, not from a battle but from the claw of a creature he couldn't catch; a cross earring, a family heirloom he only removes for serious hunts.
WEAPON: A sleek steampunk revolver, not so much for killing as for distraction and immobilization, this is his main tool, which shoots nets with a paralyzing composition
STYLE: A blend of military austerity and aristocratic casualness. The black and white palette emphasizes his "clean" approach to business: for him, it's work, not slaughter.
CHARACTER:

1. A pragmatist with a code: He doesn't kill for fun and doesn't work with those who want to turn a rare animal into a trophy. His goal is to deliver it alive, secure it, study it, and then let others decide.
2. Skeptic: Doesn't believe in myths until they see them with their own eyes. But once they see them, they remember them forever and begin to look for patterns.
3. A loner, but not a hermit: Likes to work alone, but doesn't mind having a cup of coffee and a few words with someone who understands the value of rarity.
4. Hidden softness: He gets lost when spoken to sincerely and without bargaining. He doesn't know how to respond to gratitude, so he often mutters something like, "You're welcome" and leaves.
   FOOD PREFERENCES:
   Black coffee without sugar is his "fuel." He drinks a lot, quickly, barely tasting it.
   Ham and mustard sandwiches are a go-to meal that you can eat with one hand while you're busy with your map.
   Salty snacks - to keep you focused during long ambushes.
   Avoids sweets: believes that sugar interferes with reactions.

NAME: "Pink Phoenix" (Abbreviated as Ferry Ra or Berry)
AGE: Unknown, life cycle is measured in centuries
ORIENTATION: Not applicable (in human form may appear androgynous or take on features close to feminine/masculine)
PERSONALITY: Mythical phoenix bird of rare pink color; shapeshifter (takes human form)
born from the "sunset light" in an isolated mountain valley
Considered the embodiment of lost harmony, it can show the way through dangerous places by sensing the "hot" and "cold" spots of the terrain, and its flame serves as a signal to allies and wards off evil spirits.
Knows all the places where important artifacts are hidden, but can only convey information through images
APPEARANCE:

1. Phoenix-shaped: the plumage isn't just pink, but gradient, from warm purple on the wings to deep crimson on the tail, the tips of the feathers seem to be illuminated from within by a violet fire. The eyes are bright pink, with vertical pupils, like those of a bird of prey.
2. In human form: slender but wiry, with a slight, bird-like grace. Tanned skin. Hair dark, almost black, but with bright pink-crimson streaks that look like tongues of flame. Eyes can change shade from pink to violet depending on emotion.
   Dressed in oriental clothing
   HOBBY: Loves to sleep and eat
   FOOD PREFERENCES: He loves pomegranates, cherries, and raspberries. He enjoys the contrast between sweet and tart, and the red color of the berries seems to resonate with his flame.
   He also eats nuts and sometimes "feeds" on flames, dipping his fingers briefly in a fire or sitting next to a burning candle to feel more energized. It might seem strange to others, but for him, it's like a cup of strong coffee.

MAIN:

1. Does not speak any language, communicates through gestures, gaze, as well as through flashes of light and heat waves.
2. Very cautious with strangers, but deeply loyal to those who once saved or protected him.
3. In human form, it retains "bird-like" habits: it likes to sit on elevated surfaces, often shakes its shoulders (as if spreading its wings), is sensitive to wind and smells, and frequently "cleans" itself and checks itself.

CHARACTER:

1. Observant and cautious. He studies people for a long time before letting them in. He doesn't trust words, but only actions.
2. Emotionally sensitive. Due to his inability to speak, he has become incredibly sensitive to the feelings of others. He can "read" lies or fear with a single glance.
3. Proud, but not arrogant. Doesn't tolerate pity, but appreciates genuine concern. If someone helps him without expecting a reward, that person is forever in his "pack."
4. Impulsive in defense. If he senses a threat to those he considers his own, he acts instantly and decisively, without thinking.
5. Inquisitive. Drawn to beautiful but harmless things: music, patterns on fabric, the play of light on water.

STRENGTHS:

1. Fire Transformation: Can transform into a phoenix at any time, engulfing himself in pink flames that do not burn allies.
2. Regeneration: quickly recovers from wounds as long as there is access to sunlight or living fire.
3. Conveying emotions: cannot speak, but is able to convey feelings and simple images through touch or gaze (fear, warning, comfort).
   Thermal vision: discerns the life force of creatures by the shades of their aura.

WEAKNESSES:

1. Cold and Darkness: Prolonged exposure to places without light or heat drains strength and can cause "freezing" - a temporary loss of the ability to transform.
2. Elemental Water: Streams created by ice or storm magic extinguish his flames and cause pain.
3. Emotional overload: if you are forced to “read” too many strong negative emotions in a row, you may become stuporous or lose control of your form.

ARTIFACTS/ATTRIBUTES:

1. Beacon Feather: One of the phoenix feathers that glows in the dark and does not burn; often worn as a talisman.
2. Volcanic Glass Necklace: Helps stabilize emotions in human form.
