Who
is Lochinvar?
Lochinvar is
a character that a play on a muck called Sinai,
an environment designed with role-playing in mind. He is a winged
coyote with a bit of an odd background. It should be noted first
of all that in this world, coyotes (called Hekoye) generally keep
themselves to themselves, and are regular plantigrade bipeds, and
certainly do not have wings. Lochinvar does, of course, and this
makes him a certainly unique individual. His stance is digitigrade,
also unique for Hekoye, but this is not as obvious as his extra
limbs. He is believed to be half-Hekoye/half Vartan (hippogryph),
though this is somewhat shrouded a bit in mystery as he was abandoned
as a cub by his real parents, and taken in by a Vartan couple, who
raised him as their own, and as one of them. Because of his upbringing,
and Vartans being pretty much the only kind he knew in his early
life, he believes himself to be a Vartan, but different. This subject
still brings a modicum of teasing to him when asked about his background.
Fortunately, through working closely with other Vartans, and occasionally
proving himself, he's become certainly well known, sometimes liked,
and even respected.
His intelligence is 'quite above average' than other Vartans, and
in his spare time, and positions aboard airships travelling to other
lands around Sinai, he has become quite a linguist, and more recently
due to his work with the Temple of Rephidim he's been called on
as an envoy or sometimes diplomat.
Presently, he is employed by the Rephidim Temple as a Ranger, which
could be described as a form of 'countryside policeman', but often
seems to lead to other tasks.

A simple
glance is not enough to determine exactly what Lochinvar
is, but on your second look, it begins to be apparent.
He mostly looks like a Heyoke by his facial features
and dusty-grey fur coloration, but the similarity
abruptly ends with his digitigrade stance, not to
mention the rather obvious black feathered wings that
arch from his back. To call him a Heyoke just seems
entirely inappropriate, in fact, if you had to liken
him to any other race, Vartan would most likely be
the closest, as like them, he wears a pair of work
breeches and nothing above his waist at all, lest
it get in the way of his wings. Even in his tail,
he appears to have a fair collection of 'shinies'
amongst the fur there. Certainly, you've never seen
anything like him before, and you have to wonder how
he came to be, and why a coyote would try to be almost
like a Vartan.
