Appearance
*Body: Being an IceWing mutt, Aegolius has a whip-thin build and fur, however he has large feathered wings. It is unknown what caused this but Aegolius himself believes that he has genes from some sort of unknown avian tribe, and this is most likely true. He is very fair and lacks the tail-spines of a normal IceWing, and bears a few solitary spines on the base of his tail. On his chest is a Poppy, his SpiritFlower and possesses white eyes, although lacking the typical glow. 
*Coloration: Aegolius's fur coloring is very simple. Most of his body is a chocolate brown, however everywhere on his face up to his eyes, the start of his neck, wings and other spots are a bright red. The tip of his beak is also a more muted, darker brown as is his thighs and tips of his bird-like wings. His horns and claws are white. 
*Accessories: He bears no accessories though has a pair of glasses he uses to read.

Personality
Aegolius is what can be best described as "Nerdy" he is very smart and takes great pride in his intellect, constantly using large words only a true intellectual would use because he doesn't like looking simple or small-minded. Aegolius had great grades in school and was that one kid who's so good at math that they don't even need to try on tests. He has a great passion for art and appreciates it greatly, trying to surround himself with it in his daily life. As an art curator, he took the job because of his love for art pursuing beyond failed attempts to make it, since he was never a talented artist. He is very skilled in arranging displays, whether it be a museum exhibit or an art gallery, and is thus extremely organized. He can be quite the perfectionist as well and hates seeing anything dirty or untidy, even if the thing in question isn't his own. Aegolius is also a great listener, especially when the topic interests him. 
Aegolius is friendly and polite to everyone he meets, though untrustful. Only through true appreciation of his work will he consider someone an actual friend. While this is slightly foolish, the only people who didn't like his work were his enemies, so he doesn't trust anyone with distaste for his work. Even so, he tries to maintain a calm attitude for everything and treat those he meets with respect and a hand-shake. To those he knows well he is friendly and laid-back. Although, at times he can be snooty and even prideful about his work, but not in an egocentric way. 
Despite all this, Aegolius can be a bit rude and condescending to others whenever they disregard his work or insult him first. He'd never do this to his friends, though has a total regard for stranger's or distant dragon's feelings. To them, he can even come across as a bit nasty. Whenever he dislikes someone, he will basically talk trash about them behind their backs to other people, and will even sometimes go out of his way to thwart their plans in some way. He can be a very spiteful dragon, if there is one point to be made. He is also very inflexible and hates change in general. He is very tied to his opinions and work and any suggestion at something new will most often be ignored because of Aegolius's great pride for what he does. In the end, however, he doesn't mean any true harm, and holds his friends very close to his heart, caring for them deeply and doing what he can to have their back.

Quotes
- "There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as Dragonkind..." - An exclamation of surprise at so many people's maturity. 
- "I do not mind a caring moment now and then." - Upon Ursa hugging him.
- "I've made a delicacy. Have some sushi! Feed it to the others; they'll love it." - Giving Ursa sushi as a present/ 
- "Usefulness is an easy way to meaningfulness. But not a trustworthy one. It vanishes as quickly as we do. And so it seems the only hope humanity has for transcendence is through art. Meaningfulness pulled from our chaotic minds. Not for utility. But for its own sake. And after the artist has been long gone, turned to dust, the art remains. And even after the last one of all humans will have returned to the primordial chaos, provided that we have protected it, art will remain. And so it is that art alone is left in our wake. The only veritable form of transcendence to have ever been in our grasp. Proof of our existence, and of our pitiful efforts to raise from the chaos, as would some unknown script from a long-gone power. Oh, we're here! Well, well, now, Stella. Ozymandias beckons. Let's go." - Going to the True Afterlife

Trivia
* Aspodel is close friends with him and even calls him her "twinsie" because of how similar they look. 
* Loves rugby and appreciates MudWings for creating it (HC) 
* Thinks the paradigm shift of postmordernist movements was a mistake.
* Doesn't understand the deal with Chablis.
* Is nerdy enough to know what Red Apple Cigars are and appreciates Asphodel's both knowledge of it and utilization of humor to joke about it.
* Had a disease that paralyzed him when he was alive, which under any other circumstance would have been multiple sclerosis in SFAU lore if dragons could even get that.
* The character that Aegolius was based off of, Gustav is in my opinion, the prettiest spirit in the entire game (Spiritfarer) 
* Though the original character that Aegolius was based off of is canonically German, Aegolius is intended to have more of Japanese vibe and has a Japanese accent. 
* Knows how to play the fiddle. 
* Surprisingly, he does not take being misgendered as any sort of offence and forgives very easily, saying things like "Think nothing of it!" and "Don't worry, Skipper, it's fine" because he doesn't feel a need for gender anyways, and goes by He/Him pronouns because he thinks of himself as very masculine. However, he still identifies as male, just much more loosely. 
* His name is pronounced "Ay-goh-lius", and no other way.
