Guys that is not a cosplayer it is a real Kenku using her Mimic feature to sound like a human. For proof look at: 1. The mouth moves! 2. There is no eye wholes for a human. 3. She can't fly.

Were we talking about a way to see for a human right? Doesn't matter I wasn't pointing those holes out, look very closely next to the eyes bear the beak there is a circular shaped texture and that's where she looks through it looks opaque but its made of thin fibre you can see through it.

No I think Kenku can just mimic a speech after hearing it a single time. You might be thinking of that assassin perk that involves mimicking someone.

@ScrewtapeTheDemon 6 жыл бұрын

I refuse to believe that’s a human inside a costume. A real Kenku must have fell through an extraplanar portal into our world, listened to some cosplayers outside of a convention, and is using their mimicry of said cosplayers to pass themselves off as a part of our reality.

"...Your afternoon walk is interrupted, as a strange humanoid bird rushes up to you excitedly, a sheet of paper in their hands. It jumps up and down, gesturing to the paper, and shoves it in your hands. Confused, you look at the paper and see a passage of words. At the top of the page is the message 'I need help, please read the whole thing aloud.' "You look back at the crow-girl, it has its hands folded in front of it, looking at you expectantly and excitedly. You shake your head and begin to read the words on the page. 'Thank you. This is my D&D character, her name is Roo..." "About a minute or so of reading the passage, you finish. The kenku hops up and down, silently cheering, and hugs you. It is here that you look further down the road. A camera crew is loitering about in a nearby empty lot. It suddenly strikes you that the page you were reading sounded a lot like an interview. Roo, (you gathered that is the name of the kenku that you have helped) lets you go, and says 'Thank you', eerily enough in the exact same cadence, tone, and voice that you said at the top of the page. With your high Insight check, you deduce that the girl was asked to explain herself, but, being one of the mimicking bird-folk, had no way of actually answering the crew's questions. She scurries back in their direction, leaving you confused, but happy you helped. "...Alright, Roo. Make a perform check, the camera crew wants to shoot some B-roll."

She had a decent amount of tutorials on her blog basically explaining the process of the cosplay as she went along.

@ChelseaMsChannel 6 жыл бұрын

It's a moving jaw with a basic spring or hinge mechanism. She likely sees through buckram at the tearduct area of the eyes. You can kinda see it if you focus in on the shadow below the brow at the inner edge of the eye. These are both fursuit-making techniques. :)

It's quite simple mechanism with pulleys and levers that allows you to move it with your chin. It has been used in movies since very first monster movies.

Just found this, and I have to say, while the costume is indeed incredible (quite gorgeous, with the mute iridescence and all the feathers in general), her movement is also spot on. As a fellow bird enthusiast, I have to say she really captured the movement of crows perfectly. It’s subtle things like this that really make the costume come together and make it seem as if it’s not a costume at all, but a living, breathing character. Fantastic job.

Mortari Quick Warning, Kenku can be tricky to roleplay because their incapable of creative thought, the way I typically get around this is making a Warlock and having any ideas it comes up with originate from the Patron.

@Maejys 6 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks for the heads up :). They can be very tricky indeed, I think the way I'd that is that I'd not partake in any brainstorming made by the group, only follow their decision, since this is what a Kenku can do. Outside of strategic stuff, most likely i'd walk around stealing stuff from unaware travelers hahaha.

ive been playing a kenku doctor for about a year now and how i get around the creativity thing is that they've watched someone else do it, read about it, or heard about it. like my guy learned how to be a doctor by being a doctors assistant. now he just parrots every diagnosis he heard from his dead mentor and all his colleges.

She's very well spoken. It's always so nice to hear someone speak with natural pauses of silence rather than likes, Umms, and Errs.

@nickpayne8573 6 жыл бұрын

I want to agree because that is an urk of mine as well. Although she is much more well spoken then many I come across, she is not so well off as you suggest. There are many umms. And the usage of "and" and "so" at the beginning of a paused running sentence is simply a replacement usage of a "like", "umm" or "err"... she is filled with "and", and to a lesser extent "so". "And" and "so" feel like lesser violators as they are "real words". Again, I do find her natural pauses and lack of need to constantly fill space with some sound to be very refreshing though. :)

My favorite thing about kenku is imagining them as birds shaped like people instead of just "bird people" and this embodies that, their history being "they were stripped of their wings and in their place they got bird talon like arms" always made me imagine that they were originally just man sized crows, and this is exactly how i always pictured them

It has been my dream to work in a Jim Henson studio and someday I hope to start working for movies.
