Ankh is a Talonflame Shifter! Thus he is a Fire/Flying type. He is currently a Lv54 Talonflame, and I am too lazy to list all the abilities that would give him. He is a shiny! So he has that funny sand-colored variant that comes on Fletchlings and their evolutions instead of the grey-blue.



Visual denotations of Ankh the Ass Bird include but are not limited to: the bizarre curl of feathers on the right side of his head. Whereas his head as a Fletchling is that orangeish-red color, the ends of these curls fade out into the same sand-gold that the lower half of his body is, and the triangular marks to the sides of his eyes are black, mimicking the eyeliner Ankh wears in canon once he alters Shingo's form. He is also egregiously fluffy, though this is more due to a constant state of ruffled feathers than actually being soft or downy (though he is quite both of these things, if you are lucky enough for him to let you pet him without pecking your fingers bloody).

When shifted into a human, Ankh is a rather bizarre-looking young man. His ethnicity is hard to discern, with high cheek bones and a pointed nose but somewhat small eyes. He has a very pale complexion, which is mostly strange due to the fact that his hair grows at the same sandy-caramel shade of the lower half of his plumage as a Fletchling. His hair, like the wacky curl of feathers on his head as a Pokemon, curls almost violently to the right side of his head, is shaved on about a third of the left side, and sports a braid that starts at his hairline and carries on to his neck behind his ear. He has dark brown eyes commonly lined in what looks like black kohl liner, and several small moles in his human form, most notably just below the right half of his lower lip and on the right side of his neck. He is quite tall and very thin, to the point of looking nearly malnourished, with long limbs and knobby joints.

The more obvious of his visual oddities are in his birdlike features-- his arms starting just below the elbow become almost scaly and like bird's feet, gradually becoming rougher up to the ends of his fingers, which are clawed like talons. His feet are much the same, the rough scaling starting below his knees and continuing to his feet. He isn't quite digitigrade but he very rarely walks flat-footed, and if coerced into shoes he would probably be prone to wearing heels to maintain walking with his feet arched. He has red and sandy-caramel feathers that grow in among his hair like they belong, funny and curled just like they are on his head as a Fletchling. The birdlike qualities to him will become more prevalent as he evolves, in that he will be a pretty feathery human, quite possibly with a tail and wings by the time he reaches the Talonflame evolution.
