Abilities:
Thanks to his pretty wings Cygnus is able to fly, and that pretty high and far. He is also known for being especially agile and nimble while flying. He can easily dodge almost any obstacle and is considered one of the best fliers in the land
He's not only a top talent in flying but also excels at swimming and diving. He’s not only fast and agile in the water but also very enduring. He can swim for hours, dive quite deep and hold his breath for up to 20 minutes. Overall, he is highly athletic. However, when it comes to activities on land, like walking or running, he is less skilled and avoids them whenever possible
A special magical ability allows him to take no fall damage, no matter how high he falls or flies down from. For example, he can dive from hundreds of meters straight into the water without taking any harm
Cygnus is able to control the wind to a certain extent. For example, he can influence wind direction, speed, and strength. However, he cannot and would never create storms. The same applies to currents in specific bodies of water, such as ocean current by, changing their direction, speed and strength. These processes require a large amount of magical energy, so he can only make these changes temporarily
He has the ability of speech and he speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course he is able to interact with his fellow species and other animals and creatures. He can even translate to a certain extent
Unlike other swans and griffins, he can see almost all existing colours. He can even see quite well in the dark
Weaknesses:
As already mentioned, controlling the wind and currents requires a large amount of energy, so he can only influence them temporarily and to a certain extent. Afterward, he needs to regenerate his magical energy before he can use it again
He is very athletic and skilled in the air and water, however, he is not as adept on land and prefers to fly or swim when he needs to go somewhere
For Cygnus physical activity is very important to him. If, for any reason, he is no longer able to pursue this, he could, in the worst-case scenario, become mentally and physically ill
He has a tendency to come across as somewhat opinionated and arrogant, even though this is not his intention. He genuinely wants to help others, however, his criticism and the way he delivers it can seem somewhat condescending, which is often perceived negatively and often lead to arguments
He is secretly in love with his close friend Geoffrey, who actually has feelings for him as well. However, Cygnus feels that Geoffrey only likes him as a friend and has no romantic interest in him, which is not true. He is also afraid of losing their close friendship when revealing his true feelings to him

Further Information:
Cygnus was born in the Land of Eternal Light. A heavenly and placid land full of very high mountains and full of angel-like and/or feathered-winged creatures. Here, the sky reigns above all. This land is in a state of eternal light, thus, the sun never sets in this land. A few years ago, he decided to move to the Land of Eternal Dusk to work as a fitness trainer. He is particularly taken by the beautiful beaches of this land and loves the atmosphere of the everlasting sunset
In every land you can find the following rule: Every strongly marked anthropomorphic creature is actually a human being from either a different dimension and/or time, that's why these creatures are more human-like than other beings
He is anthropomorphic and thus very human-like, but can still do typical “swan- and griffin-like” things like honking, roaring and much more
He and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. He considers his secret crush Geoffrey and Buckley as his closest friends. They share similar personalities and passions and they love spending time together, especially doing sports
Cygnus is a cis-male and homosexual
He has a vegetarian diet. He eats pondweed, vegetables, fruits, nuts and much more
