	Rooney resembles a red-tailed hawk with sharp eyes that were originally gold, but shifted into an emerald color after being imbued with essence from an [[Dragon#Gem Dragons\|Emerald Dragon]]. He is short and lightweight with a wide wingspan, making him a natural flyer like most [[Aarakocra]]. While residing in [[Pteris]], he wore breathable clothing comprised of desert tones matching the continent's terrain. Upon relocating to [[Isonhound]], his garb became more regal and incorporated emerald hues suited to traversing forests as well as his role as a [[~~Sardior~~#PR ~~Era~~\|Harbinger of Durzibethinus the Emerald]]. His weapon of choice is a longbow overgrown with emerald geodes, which he keeps ready at his side to take down enemies from the skies.
