SOME GUIDELINES

-He's not evil. Stop assuming crows/ravens = evil, that's (excuse me) bulls!t! -v-

-His eyes have the "snow leopard-gaze", as I like to call it: http://cdn.fotocommunity.com/images/Raubtiere/Gross-und-Kleinkatzen/Schneeleopard-a29982904.jpg. No big cute eyes if you go for realism/seriousness. (chibis and stuff are something else, of course)
-Remember, he has very thick fur (well technically feathers, but they are very fur-like). Take a look at snow leopards for an idea. He is not some sleek cheetah!
-The fur is not PURE white. It's a light gray, with the underside of the tail and his belly white.
-His ears are small, but you won't see them anyways. The long feathers cover them. Those feathers all originate at the head (logically), so please don't attach them to the top feather. The only way he can move them is to lay them back or to raise them. They can't be turned forward.
-His feet are NOT 100% feline or avian. They are a mix out of BOTH. The hindfeet are mostly covered in fur, but you can see some of the dark grey ravenfeet (the characteristic scales). The toes are longer than those of a feline. His frontfeet have four toes, just like a paw, plus thumbs. So no bird feet, please.
-His claws are NOT retractable! No cute kitty paws!
-He has white nictitating membranes over his eyes, just like a raven, you can see it here: http://previews.agefotostock.com/previewimage/bajaage/9e4bef75ebdcd6113f2782a3fc3433ee/BWI-BLWS210436.jpg. Those membranes cover his eyes while he uses powers connected to the Otherworld Erinya (world of the dead), or simply to clean the eye.
-To sleep, he tucks his head back , birdlike, and curls his tail around him.
-His ability to control a little water does not make it float or anything like that. It only works like ebb and flow towards/away from him.
-If you draw him, please keep some general things about his raven-half in mind, especially the bristles lying over the beak and the throat-feathers: http://fav.me/d5wr148

Measuring help:
His Tail is roughly as long as the rest of his body.
The massive beak is almost as long as the distance between the back of the head and the beginning of the visible part of the beak.
The length of one wing roughly reaches from the tip of the beak to the middle of his tail.
The wings width reach from just below the shoulder to his butt.

FUN FACTS

-He is able to purr nonstop, even though big cats can't.
-He can't roar, only hiss and sing in his raven voice.
-Due to the shape of his eyes, he always looks kind of bored/grumpy/serious. Makes his jokes even funnier (especially macabre ones). But also makes it hard for people to see if he's joking in the first place, unless you know what to pay attention to. :D
-He's a sucker for anything with cheese.
-He loves music.
-He's extremely curious.
-He really loves to swim, but it makes him vulnerable.
-He loves flights in moonlit nights together with his companion Alvrericjas. http://fav.me/d5p5tve
-He is one of the first gryphons, which weren't "born". They came into existence in an ethereal Otherworld when two compatible souls merged.
-His ability to control a little water.. doesn't have any usage at all. But it looks awesome. :XD: This ability is a side effect of the absorbed moonlight he draws his powers from.
-I don't recommend trying to ride on him. Really.
-Best voice reference for him (almost but not quite xD): Martin Keßler (speaking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxvvX-xZgR8 )

Songs I associate him with:
As my guide (and that's almost his voice there :love:) (E Nomine - Carpe Noctem) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxvvX-xZgR8
The past...(Two Steps From Hell - Blackheart) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLTQ5PlEWko
His greatest sacrifice.. (E Nomine - Exitus) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BysenwodOmU
As Dreamwalker (Hel - Träumers Melodie) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q__-7bTGq88
His love for the Moon and his mentality (Heavatar - Luna! Luna!) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktp3ZnXCKp4

On another Note: Skyuðir kind of blurs the line between my spirituality and my fantasy-project. The part "Reputation in Society" is only for my Elennya-project for example, and the "Age"-part is split between both. This is also how his two names came up. "Lunaris" was an alias, because I was hesitant to openly write his real name. Although he does have a great influence on my persona, he is not my 'fursona' or whatever you want to call it! (I'm not even male xD) I did not design him after me or my personality or something like that!
I am not him, yet I am one with him.
