Let us take flight once more...

Why hello there! It seems I am needed on more than just the cameras. I am... unsure why I have been given access to a phone, but so mote it be.

You may call me Hierax, and I'm quite pleased to make your acquaintance.

Warning: This blog will contain JCC-typical topics such as violence, death, gambling, alcohol, etc. This post may be edited to add more if deemed necessary.

\\ooc under the cut

Character Notes:

Hierax uses it/they along with mirrored pronouns

It's in its late 20s & is roughly taller than Benny but shorter than Maneki/Bones

Their biggest crime is serial murders, having been previously known under the moniker of "The Ostriched Killer" due to them leaving feathers around of varying species of birds. However, they did do more than just murdering, of course. (Ostrich was chosen due to most of their bodies having wounds that mimic an ostrich's talons despite the fact that most of the feathers left behind were of falcons)

It did a lot of jobs of all kinds over the years, but is most well known for its fortune telling and falconry shows within a traveling Renaissance Fair. It was also one of its favorite jobs it has done

Hierax would've gone with Vega's group, having been recruited for their vast amounts of knowledge and expertise.

On that note, I think they could've been Vega's partner? It managed to convince Vega to trust them despite their reputation and work alongside her.

If it wasn't too obvious, Hierax is loosely themed on the Wheel of Fortune major arcana, among other things :)

Seems that's all for now... but feel free to ask them for more

Fun Facts About Hierax, pt. 1

They have a bachelor's in biology, but have experience in all sorts of fields!

It loves all animals, but birds especially

They're Chinese-American

Hierax is the stage name it commonly used when performing

Although much of their outfit was part of their request, their gloves and eyepatch are part of their typical day-to-day outfit

Speaking of its eyepatch, Hierax embroidered it itself!

The eyepatch isn't just an accessory, Hierax lost their eye after an... unfortunate accident.

They say they don't have a favorite color, but it's gold (or any other shade of yellow)

It loves fantasy novels and D&D (Although it's never gotten a chance to play D&D a lot)

Hierax would be a Beast Master Ranger, but enjoys playing spellcasters in D&D

Old Smile - 'Drive for Days'

Old Smile is a project by Philidelhpia's Tom Herman Jr. 'Drive for Days' is taken from Tom's latest album 'Hearing Static' which was released on the 5th July.

The album was all recorded at home using just one mic and even features saxophone recordings from Tom's late grandfather on a number of the songs. 'Drive for Days' is a great bit of woozy dream-pop based around shoegaze-esque physcadelic guitar. Three thumbs up. You can download 'Hearing Static' now from BANDCAMP

Brief Conversation - Old Smile

If anyone has followed my blog for a while now, they might have heard of the Philadelphia based band, Arches. Their debut concept album ‘Wide Awake’ was amazing. Featured on my top 10 albums for 2011, and even ranked best album of 2011 by the guys at Bandcamp Hunter! And now Arches member, Tom Herman, has released a new album with his side project Old Smile. Their debut album Hearing Static, has some jazz influences from start to finish. More noticeably on songs like ‘Quiet Nights’, ‘Passing By’ and ‘Hearing Static’.

'Brief Conversation' is probably my favorite track of the album. It starts off with a soft drum pattern and then a funky bass line which will have you grooving for the rest of song. Guitars kick in and add that mysterious ambience along with Tom Herman's vocals. While listening to the album, you'll feel like it's almost dreamlike. Like if what you are listening to just couldn’t be real. And if it is, there is no words to express what you had just felt. 

Grab their debut album 'Hearing Static' here, for just $3 bucks. And if you enjoyed it as much as I did and need some more Old Smile tunes, their previous EP, Hawkins Bridge, is available for free here. If there is anything out there that can cataloged as chill music, this will be the perfect definition of it. Nothing better than to just sit (or lay down), relax and enjoy. Thank me later guys.
