Coastal

Coastal rito are visually distinguished by the color of their feathers, which is usually a pale brown, but can be a pure white in females. Unlike highland rito, they have separate "hair" on their scalps, which is usually of a brown or white color. A coastal rito is born with feathers and beak, but does not inherently grow wings. This variety of rito gains wings as a coming-of-age ritual performed in its early teens, which requires the direct magical blessing of either Valoo or another powerful supernatural being.

 Labored Flight. As an action, you gain a flying speed of 50 feet until the start of your next turn. You can maintain uninterrupted flight by using this action at the start of consecutive turns. If you can't take this action at the start of a turn you are airborne, you fall. On a turn you use your action to fly, you can use your bonus action to make an unarmed strike, but you otherwise can't act until the start of your next turn.
 Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
 Navigation. Coastal rito are unusually skilled at maintaining direction and creating mental maps. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to navigate or avoid becoming lost.
 Language. You can speak, read, and write one more language of your choice from Deku, Subrosian, or Zoran.

Fokka

Flightless rito, or "fokka," usually result from coastal rito who do not complete their coming-of-age ritual, but still age into adulthood. In some coastal rito tribes, refusing to complete this ritual is seen as sacrilegious. Regardless of why they are flightless, fokka are seen as inferior among other rito, and their inability to fly is considered shameful. Due to this disgrace, fokka have a tendency towards hate or other negative emotions, and are more prone towards evil than most rito. Despite their inability to fly, fokka retain the lightweight bodies of creatures adapted for flight. This, combined with increased leg strength, enables fokka to perform incredibly high jumps compared to most terrestrial humanoids. They are naturally faster on their feet, and have a particularly easy time adapting to lighter forms of armor.

 Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score inceases by 1.
 Fleet of Foot. Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet.
 Ancestral Arms. You have proficiency with light armor, medium armor, shields, daggers, and shortswords.
 Cantrip. You know one cantrip from power beam, produce flame, and resistance. Charisma is your casting ability for this spell.
 High Leap. Both your long jump and your high jump cover a number of feet equal to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet immediately before the jump. As normal, a standing jump covers only half this distance.
 Honed Skills. You have proficiency in your choice of one of the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Perception, or Survival.
 Language. You can speak, read, and write one more language of your choice from Blin, Gerudo and Zoran.

Highland

Unlike coastal rito, highland rito are completely covered in feathers of a uniform color. The colors of these feathers vary greatly from one highland rito to another, and can include hues as diverse as blue, green, pink, brown, white, and more, but these colors tend to become more saturated as the rito ages. A highland rito is born with wings that naturally form, and do not receive them from an external source. This variety of rito usually can only become a flightless fokka either by a birth defect or debilitating injury.

 Labored Flight. As an action, you gain a flying speed of 50 feet until the start of your next turn. You can maintain uninterrupted flight by using this action at the start of consecutive turns. If you can't take this action at the start of a turn you are airborne, you fall. On a turn you use your action to fly, you can use your bonus action to make an unarmed strike, but you otherwise can't act until the start of your next turn.
 Ancestral Arms. You have proficiency with shortbows. In place of the unarmed strike Labored Flight lets you make as a bonus action, you can instead make a ranged weapon attack with a shortbow, but only if you are proficient with martial weapons.
 Mountain Born. You’re acclimated to high altitude and to extreme cold, and can endure such climates without difficulty.
 Language. You can speak, read, and write one more language from Anook, Goro, and Zoran.

Effects

Free Bird

Through training and perhaps even physical transformation, you have learned to fly effortlessly. It is easy for you to rapidly switch between flapping your wings and using your hands even while maintaining flight. This gives you the following benefits: You gain a fly speed of 60 feet. If you have the Labored Flight trait, this feat effectively replaces that trait. If your heritage is coastal or highland, increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1. This cannot increase your ability score above its maximum.
