Username: Gagnunggugua
Name: The Concerted
Race: Wrens
Gender: About 50-50, collectively
Color: This-ish
Description: Wrens are small, brownish songbirds, commonly found among low shrubbery and bramble. The Concerted are distinguished from normal wrens by their deep purple eyes.
Weapons and Abilities: The Concerted is a community of about a hundred or so lightly to moderately psychic birds. Individually, they can cause a fellow to feel itchy, or distracted. In concert, they can exert total mind control, erase memories, create beliefs, and so on.
The Concerted freely chatter amongst themselves and with willing psychics by their power. To influence non-psychics or resistant psychics, The Concerted sing. The coordination of their song reflects their collective agreement, and the potency of their influence.
Also they like pecking the shit out of things, but that's because they're wrens.
Biography: They're just birds, really. A somewhat intelligent and psychic hivemind, but birds nonetheless. The story, at least this is what I heard, goes that a young wizard accidentally turned his beloved into a wren, who immediately flew away. When the wizard recovered from the shock, he set out to capture every wren he could find, and bestowed them with magical intelligence, in the hopes of finding and re-transforming his lost lover. Didn't work out. Unsuccessful and broke, the wizard slunk off somewhere and was never heard from again. The wrens, however, have been around ever since.
They're not too much trouble, really. You might find yourself with the sudden urge to take up birdfeeding, but it's usually fleeting. Just don't do something dumb like chase after a handful of them, or they might convince you you're a beetle, or flay your mind or something. Come to think of it, I haven't seem them around lately, have you?
