Erm, Okay.

A very classy one eyed man by the classy name of Soloman Raven looks this here paper up and down and up and down, laughing to himself in a bellowing fashion. "Stupid Elysians, crimes are for me! I mean, erm, not for me I am so innocent." A wave of sadness befell him due to him saying this to himself, what a lonely loser.

Caught in 4K is the one, the only, THE Soloman Raven Jr. default dancing his heart out at this amazingly written note. "Wowsers, Elysium bad? Who knew!"

Soloman looks the summons up and down, raising an eyebrow. "The hell, must not be me because I ain't done half of this at least." He crumbled up the piece of paper and tossed it behind him.

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

If this creature has multiple subtypes, don’t forget to mention your character’s particular subtype here!

Musin are the descendants of the Ratiki which were altered by The Giant. They were born from the runt of the litter slaves of the Ratiki and were led to freedom by the runt known as Musin the Brave. After escaping their island and landing in Alamaris, they met a man which they dubbed The Giant. The Giant helped the Musin and used the last of his magic to alter them to become more different from the Ratiki. Some of these alterations include the need to be hygienic, tendency of passivity, and curiousity.

The Musin are small mice-men which resemble house mice. They can range from a height of 1'8 to 2'6. Their eyes are either red, black, or pink and fur coloring of tan, black, white, or mottled. Musin only rarely live past the age of 70 years old, gaining physical maturity at 12 and mental maturity at 15. 

They have a culture of needing to recycle, often being blamed as thieves for this. They do not care for just valuables but for anything that could be useful. This hording nature often leaves their homes cluttered and dirtied. The Musin tend to look up to and admire descendants to a great deal, even imitating their clothing with scrap and trying to build amazing structures out of trash to resemble cities, but this is done poorly and their structures will not last. They are generally peaceful and frightened, often choosing to run away rather than deal with a threat physically. 

Being very small and frail, the Musin do not have the strength to carry much weapons larger than small daggers. They are however, very nimble and quick, able to dodge and evade most attacks. 

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

Shades is a mottled Musin, having grey fur with streaks of black across his body. He is tall for a Musin, standing at 2'4, having red eyes that are hidden behind tinted shades. Copying the descendants, he wears a small cloth coat and shirt with crude buttons. It is rare for him to take off his glasses and is found usually trying to smoke half a cigarette.

because none of these things you listed are combat related

a bell can only be run within a city or settlement as well and are typically only used to defend against raids on that city, where as birds are typiclly used to acquire foreign aid. elvenesse cannot use their bell to get military aid from haelun'or for example, but they could definitely do this with a bird while locked behind 20 iron doors in a bunker below the city

besides @monkeypoacheralready explained all of this, im basically just repeating it at this point

"my contention wasn't that it is impossible to stop a bird from being sent, it's that there is no compelling reason why I should have to" 

I think for massive wars and the such, if PVP is to occur the PVP rules are already implemented to stop people from joining into the conflict mid battle. Some of the rules for birds do need to be changed, like I think there should be another emote added for the opposing party to react to and that all bird emotes related to conflict should be within earshot of the opponents. With these rules I do not see how there can be any abuse of the power.

As stated by other people, there are a lot of problems to occur with getting rid of birds. Common RP will become sluggish and actual, unavoidable (in the punishment ooc sense), and unstoppable (in the RP sense) metagaming will occur during conflict. If you kill the bird, the opposing party has no excuse to know your location and provides an interesting RP mechanic.

the crux of not wanting birds to be used for combat isnt "I don't want my enemy to get aid," its "where is the logic in a random fuckoff bird being able to travel across the continent and locate a specific person like a bloodhound so they're able to summon an entire rally and show up to my exact location in 5 minutes?" 

What is the logic in being able to take a boat from Norland to Yong Ping in under five minutes? What about soul stoning, what about dinky tiny bells ringing whole guard forces? This is about "I don't want my enemy to get aid" because the birds being able to travel to their destination with their time is the suspension of disbelief that comes with all roleplay. If you don't want a goon squad to show up, kill the bird. Birds have brittle bones, slap it and it can't fly.

The reason is so that someone can't call reinforcements. Getting rid of birds is removing a valuable asset that allows for people to communicate long distant without having to deal with some cruddy plugin. The best solution is to edit how people can use birds to allow for better counteraction or destruction of them. 

I feel like most people who hate the use of birds in CRP just dislike CRP and conflict in general. You need to learn how to counteract RP actions IRP, not through banning the RP actions from the server.

when you drill down to it, birds exist in CRP to let someone to barge in on my roleplay, demand my undivided attention, and then call a ******* clown car of other dudes to completely waste the last n minutes of my real and virtual life. if you can call a bird in a crp you can run away, if you have enough guys to have a designated bird exterminator in your posse, well you can send a messenger to cry for help

It takes three emotes already to write a letter and send it off, if you see some guy writing a letter you should punch that bird in the head. I still do not see the issue, birds are a physical animal that exists in the roleplay. They can be killed or stopped. If you don't want a bunch of people rolling up, kill the damn bird. 

For PvP, I think that by the time PvP is starting it is already too late. There are rules against letting new people join in a pvp fight if it is beginning. If someone is sending a bird before a fight, then kill the bird right then and there. This isn't rocket science. 

The suspension of disbelief is and will always be a part of any RP. Why does it take literal IRP days for someone to finish one conversation? This shouldn't be a an argument against birds in the first place.

I think people should start investing in ranged weapons that are easy to deploy to kill birds RPly, and each bird set up emote should allow for a reactionary emote along with one extra for the bird to actually fly away. I feel as if in most one on one conflicts that bird use is not a problem. In group fights you should be able to send a guy back to attack the bird if the other team had sent one of theirs. 

If you are so worried about someone meta rallying by sending one message to one person, then use the ample time of three emotes to kill the bird. A good solution is to allow for a bird killing emote to blast that sucker out of the air if you have a ranged weapon. By this logic, ban bells, they meta rally far more people than a single message.
