ＳＨＡＰＥＳＨＩＦＴＩＮＧ
xxTheir natural form is their feral form, and human form is secondary. They are birds first and foremost, even those born human initially. They may shift freely between the two, even combining the traits. They may not add extra limbs (i.e. they will either have wings or arms, but not both). They may choose to have a bird head and otherwise human form, in which case the bird head would be proportionate to the rest of their body. The same is true of having an avian body paired with a human head, and they are able to take on a "harpy" form at will.
ɴᴏᴛᴇ: When shifting, any garments, piercings, or other jewelry will be shed. As mentioned above, any bleach or hair dye will reset, and when they shift back to human form, their hair will once more be its natural color(s).
ＦＬＩＧＨＴ
xxWhen possessed of wings in one form or another, they are able to fly. Some may have a compulsion to migrate from time to time with the seasons, and certain species of Corvidae are known to change location frequently as the urge moves them. If they are unable to fly for extended amounts of time, they can fall into a deep depression and become reclusive.
Ｍ ＡＧＩＣＡＬ......Ａ ＷＡＲＥＮＥＳＳ
xxThey possess a hypertuned, innate awareness of all magic around them. They will know when magic is being used in their vicinity, be it an active spell, or something so simple as a passive glamour. Because of this, especially aware Corvidae may be able to suss out the origins of a supernatural creature if they are afflicted by a curse (as some werewolves and vampires are). True shapeshifting will be harder to detect unless it is a fellow Corvidae, although they may be able to sense that someone is inhuman, if not identify what they are. They always know their kin, however, feeling an instinctive magical pull in the presence of their own kind.
ɴᴏᴛᴇ: Their hyper awareness can be a massive source of distraction, and can lead to pervasive paranoia. If surrounded by magic frequently, especially in tune Corvidae may become overstimulated or distressed.
Ｆ ＥＲＡＬ......Ｃ ＯＭＭＵＮＩＣＡＴＩＯＮ
xxCorvidae are able to communicate with all feral birds, even those not in their family. They are not able to understand them as though conversing, but can read their emotions empathically. Birds are able to understand them clearly, however, and especially adept feral birds who have learned to mimic certain human words may use them to communicate.
Ｎ ＡＶＩＧＡＴＩＯＮ
xxAll Corvidae possess an innately strong sense of direction. They are always able to find their way home and are able to migrate long distances to locations previously visited with memory alone.
Ｅ ＩＤＥＴＩＣ......Ｍ ＥＭＯＲＹ
xxPossessed of a preternatural memory, they are able to recall most things with crystal clarity, except where their senses were addled at the time with substances (or another reason). This is primarily a way for them to retain knowledge, but even the mundane can be remembered. Their memories can be so vivid that they engage various senses. Unfortunately, they have the potential to become auditory and visual hallucinations. This can be heavily exacerbated in Corvidae who have suffered from trauma, which already predisposes them to flashbacks. In these cases, it can be quite a struggle to ground them and pull them out of the memory.
Ｍ ＩＭＩＣＲＹ
xxSome subspecies can hone their natural talents to the point that they can fool all but the keenest ears, and even lower quality recording equipment. They can learn to mimic both natural and mechanical sounds, however, their vocal chords have a tendency to become damaged when overused.
Ｍ ＡＧＩＣＡＬ......Ｎ ＵＬＬ
xxDespite their memorization skill and magical awareness, Corvidae are unable to perform any magic. They can (and often do) make use of items that have been enchanted by others, but are unable to use items which require channeling magical energy in order to work.
