(I'm actually really stoked you started this again. I'd never joined in the previous one but I was a lurker at the time and loved reading Blood Haven! 
I'm just going to stick with one character for now because of busy school reasons but I'll likely add another one in later. Ah, same disclaimer - pic isn't mine lol.)
Name: Jude Faust
Age: 78 / Stopped aging at 24
Species: Hippogriff (like this)
Pregnant / Children: No children, currently four months with his first clutch
Role: Carrier / Seeder (Hippogriff's work better as carriers however and their numbers are dwindling because they have trouble mating between each other)
Info: Jude was handed over to a tiny but well-known breeding ranch in the country side not too many years ago, and he was rowdy and insistent they release him. He was mostly kept in solitary and only ever introduced to other species if the ranchers thought they'd be a good fit as they specialized in hybridization, but Jude purposefully never got along with any of the others. Four months back they were forced to put him under just for the sake of breeding because he was quickly becoming of no use to them; two weeks back, there was an escape riot, and Jude was one of the lucky species to get away before being rounded up. He's been traveling by himself since and while no one notices his pregnancy since it's usually always hidden with oversized clothes, he knows his future.
~~
Initially, Jude thought he might be tracked down. Despite his behavior at the ranch, he'd been deemed a jackpot. With the way the Hippogriff race was already dying, the ranchers had bought Jude on a bargain deal and had wondered if they could find another Hippogriff and make them work together despite their tendency to not be able to carry to term. If they made it work they'd hit a gold mine, but Jude made sure that didn't happen. One could imagine his frustration the evening they bragged they'd finally done it, they'd finally bred that damn Hippogriff over in the solitary stables, and even though they'd wanted to skip his meals and water because of his recklessness that had followed, they were unable to do so with him carrying. The night of the riot, Jude was one of the first species to get free, and maybe that's because his wings made it easier to fly off once he wasn't within the confines of the enclosed ranch anymore. Jude sometimes wondered what happened to the ones that were brought back to the ranch. The punishments could only be terrible, he thought.
Jude had only heard of Blood Haven through whispers at the ranch and he didn't think it to be real at first, but after two weeks of flying and running and having to eat what he could where he could get it, he figured it was due time to go check the place out... if it was true. He wanted to believe it was true, and the whole fly to where the mansion was filled Jude's head with doubts. What if it wasn't real? What if he just found nothing and had to go back to the whole living on the run thing? Just about every possible negative outcome had crossed Jude's mind when he finally made it to the Haven, and his brightly colored eyes narrowed towards the mansion as he took all of it in as he flew by once. It looked nice enough, but he'd never know about it truly until he was close enough. Jude found a place to tentatively land a few yards off, his wings fluttering once before being tucked in against his sides. He'd noticed there were already others there so... at least he wouldn't be alone? Shifting back into his human form, the spellbound clothes he had reappearing to fit his frame, Jude glanced around once and then made his way towards the entrance, pausing a few feet away from the others in front of him. It was mannerly to wait his turn, he supposed, so he did, pulling his sweater tighter around him.
