Edit: I added a profile shot because why not. Also where his second hair tapers off is pretty much where it ends. ALSO also, there is a link to a timeline for him down below.

Fun fact; I was soooo excited about the volatikai opening up (they're one of the most amazing species i've seen holy heckie) that i'd started working on one like 3 or 4 months ago; his name was Reese. But sadly, Reese died prematurely due to a hard drive crash on my old brand new laptop! so now we have Alois (which i just realized is associated with black butler asdkf) and his cute little self will be in Shorty's Design A Volatikai Contest!

A Handy Timeline of Alois's Life


Some backstory: (subject to change as more info comes out about volatikai mating habits, children, ect.)

Alois was abandoned by his mother, a plains volaitkai, at a young age. He managed to survive on his own for a few months but was quickly becoming unable to successfully scavenge for food. His search eventually led him to a village where an elderly couple mistook him for a lone child, however they decided to take him in anyway despite their mistake. The couple knew little about volatikai but took care of him best they could and even began teaching Alois english and human customs after he'd started trying to mimic their words.

Alois's first interactions with the rest of the village were tense as the children would sometimes pull his tail or grab at his wings and the adults were just wary around him. Eventually though, especially after he learned to communicate with them, they became much more welcoming though some kids did still pick on him.

Around 7 years old, Alois starts trying to teach himself to fly after seeing some volatikai flying around. His attempts at taking off directly from the ground all end in failure and the first few attempts at taking off from a tree or rooftop do as well. Eventually, though, he learns to keep his balance enough to glide a short distance before falling. He also manages to learn how to hunt small game both from trial and error and with the help of the hunters in the village. Though, he's less successful when he hunts without tools.

Alois leaves the village after his first mating season (around 9 y/o). Instinctively, he followed the scents of females leading but none were impressed with his inability to fly and small stature. In his frustration at being denied by several females his wereform manifested for the first time. It followed the scent of a female that lead close to the village, but along the way it ran into one of the villagers and attacked and killed them thinking that they were a threat.

Once the mating season was over, Alois stumbled upon the body and smelled his scent all over it. Horrified by what he thought he'd done, he returned to the village late at night, took the scarf his Ma made for him and left.

The rest of his story is ambiguous at this point. He'll have a major depression stage when he eventually returns to his village to find that his parents have passed away. His wereform will become much more active during this time due to him not feeding himself properly and his general state of mind. Other than that, it's all pretty up in the air. Haha, it's punny cause he can't fly...........

Fun facts because we all love fun facts:
- Really wants to learn to fly, but hasn't found anyone to teach him
- Used to be teased and called a 'demon pet' by the children
- Usually has low expectations of anything he tries to do but will keep trying
- Obsessively cleans his scarf and usually doesn't let anyone touch it
- His theme song is probably EASE by Troye Sivan
- Misses his parents a lot and does sometimes sneak back to the village to check on them
- Has mixed feelings about living out in the wild
- His wings are based on a really pretty tropical butterfly i found a pic of
- He has some problems with people being creepily interested in his wings
- Doesn't know much about his own species
- There was a lot of nervous aggression from him when his Parents first took him in. Food is the way to any man's heart though.
- His wereform isn't as obsessive over his scarf, but does make sure not to lose it
- He prefers cooked food but doesn't get it often now.
- He gets really annoyed when people talk to him like he can't understand English
