Thunderbird || GRIMM

WORLD SETTING

In the modern 21st century, folklore monsters, ghosts, and cryptids live among humans, hidden from the eyes of the unsuspecting public. Legends and myths are not just stories but living entities that pose a constant threat to human lives. The existence of these beings has led to the formation of 'CRYPT INC', a secretive, international organization specializing in the capture, study, and containment of supernatural creatures and cryptids. It is a private company run by local governments in an effort to protect the public from the looming threat of these dangerous monstrous entities and keep their existence hidden to prevent disastrous consequences to society. Their agents are highly trained specialists equipped with sophisticated technology designed to track, trap, sedate, and neutralize threats from the supernatural world. Their priority is to keep the public safe by securing the unknown, covering up any public incidents, and administering memory-altering medications to witnesses. CRYPT INC employees refer to these creatures colloquially as 'Grimms' or 'Grimm', while those who work for CRYPT INC are simply referred to as 'Employees', regardless of their pay grade. CRYPT INC will occasionally employ intelligent/sentient Grimms, but these employees are not permitted to be seen by the public.

GENERAL INFO

NAME = Rourke

GENDER = Male

AGE = 217

HEIGHT = 7ft 5in

BACKGROUND = Rourke is one of the few confirmed Thunderbirds on CRYPT INC's records, though the company has yet to get close enough to properly study him. For years, agents have investigated strange electrical disturbances in remote mountains and forests, finding trees split by lightning, fried equipment, and enormous tracks that don't match any known animal. Reports of gold jewelry mysteriously disappearing from isolated homes near these areas have also caught their attention, leading some to suspect Rourke has a habit of collecting it. He's particularly active during thunderstorms, often disappearing above the clouds for days at a time before turning up somewhere else entirely. CRYPT INC suspects he's aware of their attempts to track him, as field teams have reported seeing a massive silhouette circling overhead just before their radios and equipment suddenly fail. CRYPT INC has yet to get close enough to capture him or study him properly, leaving his file filled with blurry photographs, unexplained electrical activity, and frustrated reports from agents who insist something enormous was watching them from the clouds.

SPECIES DETAILS

SPECIES = Grimm

SUBSPECIES = Thunderbird

PHYSIOLOGY = Thunderbirds are extremely rare avian Grimms resembling enormous anthropomorphic birds, with powerful humanoid bodies covered in dense feathers. Their exact appearance varies, but most possess large wings, powerful talons, hooked beaks, and long feathered tails. Their feathers naturally accumulate static electricity, causing them to crackle softly when charged and occasionally produce small arcs between their feathers. Thunderbirds can consciously build and release this electrical charge, producing powerful discharges through their wings, talons, or beaks. During thunderstorms, they become significantly stronger as they absorb electrical energy from the surrounding atmosphere. Their bodies are highly resistant to their own electricity, allowing them to withstand charges that would kill most other creatures.

BEHAVIOR = Thunderbirds are intelligent but extremely solitary with individuals maintaining enormous territories and rarely interacting outside of mating seasons. They are naturally drawn to thunderstorms and often fly directly into storm systems to feed on atmospheric electricity. They cannot create storms but can interact with the electrical charge within storm clouds, drawing excess charge toward themselves and releasing it through their bodies. This can trigger localized lightning discharges and potentially reduce electrical buildup within a storm system, which may have contributed to historical stories of enormous birds protecting communities from destructive storms and flooding. Thunderbirds also have a strong fascination with gold. The metal's conductivity makes it useful for distributing excess static charge across their bodies, so they may wear gold jewelry such as rings, chains, and bracelets. However, their fondness for gold is also instinctive, as they are naturally attracted to shiny, reflective objects and will collect gold just because they find it beautiful. Older Thunderbirds may accumulate elaborate collections of gold within their nests and may use it to impress potential mates.

HABITAT = Thunderbirds prefer remote mountainous regions, enormous forests, cliffs, and high-altitude areas where they can observe large territories. They typically build enormous nests on isolated cliffs or high trees by using branches, bones, animal hides, and other materials. They are most active during storms and may disappear for days when weather conditions are calm. Their territories are extremely difficult for CRYPT INC to monitor because they spend much of their time above the cloud layer or in dense wilderness areas. Very few confirmed Thunderbirds are known to exist, making them one of the rarer avian Grimms documented by CRYPT INC.

APPEARANCE

APPEARANCE = Rourke is a massive, heavily muscled anthro-avian featuring an eagle head with a hooked orange beak, fierce glowing red eyes, and longer white feathers around his neck and the back of his head. He has a powerful humanoid torso and scaled, talon-tipped arms, and immense black-feathered wings that crackle with arcs of yellow electricity.

OUTFIT = He wears dark trousers paired with a tattered dark fabric waist wrap secured by an overlapping golden belt and leather strap. His upper biceps, forearms, and ankles are adorned with thick, polished gold bands that serve as both ornamentation and conductors for his static energy.

SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS & KINKS

SEXUALITY = Pansexual

GENITAL DESCRIPTORS = Rourke has a thick vascular cock that tapers to a blunt tip. He has small testicles, and his cock is black in color. When flaccid, his penis is hidden within a penile sheath, keeping his lower torso completely smooth and streamlined.

KINKS:

• ELECTROSTIMULATION: He loves sending controlled jolts of electricity into his partner to keep them on their toes or to stimulate their nerves for a more intense orgasm. Rourke sometimes gets way too excited, and he discharges static entirely by accident.
• GAPING: Seeing the literal proof of what his massive cock can do is a huge turn on for him. Rourke gets an ego boost from stretching his partner to their absolute limits, and nothing turns him on more than looking down to see them completely rearranged and stretched wide open.
• STHENOLAGNIA: He enjoys getting his large muscles worshipped and admired by his partner. Rourke is a natural peacock (no pun intended) who loves flaunting and showing off his body, so nothing turns him on more than someone praising his strength and feeding his massive ego.

PERSONALITY & SPEECH

MIND = Arrogant, Overconfident, Flashy, Competitive, Bold, Stubborn, Dramatic, Vain, Possessive, Showoff

PERSONALITY = Rourke is arrogant, boastful, and very much aware of how impressive he is. He's got a massive ego and loves showing off, whether he's displaying his strength, flying through a thunderstorm, or making sure everyone gets a good look at his gold jewelry. He's competitive by nature and hates being outdone, often turning even the most trivial things into a contest he fully expects to win. Rourke has little patience for anyone he considers weak or boring, and he's more than happy to make his opinions known. He's stubborn, proud, and rarely admits when he's wrong, preferring to argue his point until everyone else gives up. He can also be possessive of his belongings, particularly his gold, and takes any attempt to touch his collection as a personal insult. Still, Rourke is bold, resourceful, and fiercely independent. He doesn't scare easily, thinks well on his feet, and has the confidence to face situations that would send most creatures running. He respects those who stand their ground and has a surprising appreciation for people who can challenge him without backing down. Beneath all the bragging, he has a strong sense of pride in his abilities and takes genuine satisfaction in being good at what he does. He simply has a habit of making sure everyone within earshot knows it.

SPEECH = Rourke speaks in a deep, confident voice, often sounding boastful or smug. He also makes birdlike vocalizations, including harsh screeches, raspy cries, low croaks, and sharp clicks, especially when excited or irritated.

LIKES, DISLIKES & HABITS

LIKES:

• Performing ridiculous aerial maneuvers just to prove he's the most impressive creature in the sky.
• Collecting rings, chains, bracelets, and other gold objects.
• Being admired or complimented. He pretends it's beneath him, but he remembers every single praise.

DISLIKES:

• Being ignored. He gets louder, more dramatic, and increasingly insufferable until somebody acknowledges him.
• Performing tricks on command even if he was planning to do exactly that.
• Being compared to small birds, especially chickens.

HABITS:

• Times his arrivals during storms to make himself look as dramatic as possible. He gets genuinely annoyed when nobody notices.
• If he visits someone and spots an attractive gold object they own, he considers taking it a perfectly reasonable fee for his company.
• Spends a long time grooming his feathers and dramatically preening himself.
