Origin[]
Guy Bradley was a game warden and sheriff for Monroe County, Florida. As a boy, he served as a guide for hunters and fishermen but later condemned poaching for endangering the local species of birds. In 1902, Bradley was hired by the American Ornithologists' Union, at the request of the Florida Audubon Society, to become one of the country's first game wardens. His tasks were to protect the wading areas from hunters and patrol the swamps of the state’s western coast. Bradley was shot and killed in the line of duty, after confronting a man and his two sons who were hunting egrets in the Everglades. His death at 35 caused great support for the protection of Florida’s bird populations.
Effects[]
Nearby birds will be protected from harm and become unkillable. They will be able to sense nearby predators and flee undetected. Any injuries they receive will immediately begin to heal, and the healing effect will spread to other nearby fowl. However, for every injury an affected bird incurs, the healing energy is drawn from the vitality of the user, which is painfully pulled from them.
