- mark date 12/23/2021

I am thinking now
of grief, and of getting past it;

I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want

to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.

Title: 002. ── [ ✧ erin​ ]

There were few things that FLC-2001 possessed in scarcity of, but there was not one time where she could recall a faltering of the hand, a weakness in mind and will when combat was involved. No, this was what she was meant to do, ever since her consciousness was granted to her for the first time. Because on a battlefield, a wavering nerve was fatal, offering opponents a wide opening to strike, to kill. Perhaps a good dose of fear would've seemed more realistic for a soldier on their first deployment, but she experienced no such quavering. Sometimes, however, it seemed that there were some quirks not fully integrated into her programming. It granted her the best of both words. A human's mind, but not their softhearted worries that could be the difference between life and death. The blood below formed a red carpet, hailing the helicopters as they descended from the heavens into the battlefront below. When she saw the blood below, strewn from bodies, FLC-2001 thought it looked like a red carpet, welcoming them into hell.

But those were just her imagination, and all the android was meant to do was to focus on the present. Her movements were fluid like a well-oiled machine as she pulled out the parachute under her seat, ripping open the straps in carefully controlled movements until the parachute came free around her like a white cloud; and then settled down her back as she donned the straps. There was no fear, no anxiety, just a calm that settled around her nerves as she walked to the edge of the helicopter, eyes already scouting out the most optimal drop-zone. The sensors built into her helmet monitored the rate of their descent, covering the left side of her vision in numbers. altitude 10,000 meters and dropping...current velocity 50 knots and increasing. She took a breath, feeling the wind rush into her face and knot the loose strands of her hair. Clouds loomed ominously in the distance, storm clouds grey and brooding but still distant. A shuffling of bodies around her and the rest of the experiments

Quote from Charley_warlzz

Hi! I, too, am writing about characters with wings, so i feel your pain.

A lot of this depends on how their wings work, but I'll try and help!

Bed: depends. You specified that the wings grow in childhood - so, presumably, they will spend their nights lying flat, since they likely wouldnt have the balance to sleep standing/crouching etc without the wings. Nor do they have the right feet to hold on to stuff. So beds would probably the best - maybe slightly wider than normal beds to fit them in. For comfort purposes, they'd probably lie on their side (for their tail) or stomach, but the wings would still probably get in the way. Maybe they fold in, which makes it easier for them to sleep (but still only on their side or stomach - think about what happens when you fall asleep on your arm. Its horrible.) Maybe they wrap around the character when they sleep - this not only makes sense because they wouldn't get cramped, but also provides them with warmth and protection. However, you'd have to consider which parts of the wings would get sore if you lay on them - maybe if the main part (feathers, or the flaps in bat wings, etc - parts that arent just structural) can be leaned on, you can have it so they sleep on that part and the rest of the wing goes around them. Also, i imagine large quilts would be constricting for the wings - even sheets would be iffy. They live in a fairly warm place though, so maybe they wont be necessary anyway. If they are, though, they could maybe have a section cut out for the wings, or go under them.

Furniture: i think for the most part, furniture could be normal. But maybe for chairs, you could specifically use stools so the wings can spread out - the backs of chairs are specifically for balance, so are kind of unnecessary when you have wings. This also allow the tail some space if its above the butt, if it's below you could maybe have a hole in the stool. Or maybe have a really short back that stops before the point where the wings join the skin, so they can jut over the top, and a cut out in the centre for the tail. As for decorations, maybe they should have very little clutter that could be knocked over. I knock enough things over with my arms, i couldn't imagine what i'd do with wings. Especially if they were just growing into them - they'd be running into them left and right! Also, thats a good point for child proofing the houses - two extra appendages need to be acknowledged. Plus, young kids are likely to try and fly, so maybe no glass coffee tables - that could lead to injuries.

Formal attire: Low backs are your friend - backless dress, low backed tops, tunic-esque things. Maybe they could have shirts that can be pulled up so the wings come through slits in the back that can be fastened. Or some kind of tie could be used to pull in together at the top. Maybe shirts that have a hole cut into the back, so the wings go through. The tails easier - low hung pants or holes will do. Bare skin might not bother these people, since theyre all in the same boat. This one is slightly more difficult.

Weapons: Bow and arrow, crossbow, throwing knives etc - anything ranged. You don't want to be getting into close combat while midair, in case you fall. Bow and arrows or a crossbow is probably the best, since knives are (probably) more expensive to make and harder to find again. Also, its easier to aim with bows and crossbows - especially if they have one of those target scope eyepiece things i cant remember the name of. Between them, a bow and arrow is probably the best - a crossbow require less effort to shoot, but more to set up and aim, while you just need to nock, point and shoot with a bow. Also, bows are lighter and can be compacted easier. If they use a bow though, note that they will need good upper body strength (bows are harder than they look to use) and a good eye. Also: if they're hunting from the air, how good is their eyesight? It might be good if they have some kind of glasses/binoculars to look though. Actually, goggles would be a good idea (bugs might get in their eyes otherwise! Plus, night fvision). Also, what about the tail - does it just flail around a lot when they fly or can they tuck it in? Not to mention hair getting everywhere - do they wear it back?

Architecture im homes: Open spaces. Everywhere. They're gonna need to stretch they're wings. Plus, i mentioned the decorations. I imagine they'd have lots of high places, but likely only in teenagers/adults rooms for when they can fly. Childrens rooms may have a lot of places they can sit that they can reach on their own (maybe using a ladder or footholds) so they can feel high/grown up. I imagine the only things near the floor would be kids stuff, because bending over with wings is awkward. Also, maybe cupboards wouldnt need them to fly to be reached - i mean, we as a species aim to do the least amount of effort. Why go to the next room when you can put a shelf here? Why fly when you can not? Doorways would probably have to be wide and (depending on the height of the wings) tall. Maybe there's no doorways at all - just many open plan rooms. As for stairs versus ladders - stairs are probably the best because you can just walk up and down, where as theyd have to fit their wings through an opening with ladders. But either works, really.

Playgrounds: Yeah, slides are a no-go, and i would say round-a-bouts too, because their wings might make them do a kite thing and take off. See-saws would be good, assuming the wings aren't long enough to get trod on. Also, climbing frames: ones that are like climbing walls with steps or hand holds or foot holes etc are good, but ones with ropes might get in the way or get tangled in the wings. Or they might be fine. Depends of the wings. But these would be good for children who want to experience flying! Swings should be good.

Bathing: i would say both showers and baths have drawbacks. Primarily, in a shower, they might want to stretch their wings - might have to to clean properly - and wouldn't have room. Baths are cramped too. I would suggest maybe a large, circular bath - like a jacuzzi? - so they have enough spaces. Or they clean their wings separately, in which case i would still recommend a bath, because the wings might not be good if theyre wet. But then this raises the question of hair - it really depends on how they would clean.

Sports: climbing competitions, tightrope things, those rope tyre things, balancing games (like who can balance ona beam the longest), games that involve two levels - eg football but only the people in the air can hold it, and the people in the ground can just either kick it to them or into the goal. Or a basket ball game where one person (the shooter) has to fly and the others have to try and pass it too them. These can all pretty much be adapted for kids or adults.

Toilets: normal toilets should be fine!

Cooking: this depends on how much control they have over their wings. If it's a lot (ie theyre like extra arms) open fires should be fine, because you're not likely to accidentally drop your arm in flames. I imagine theyd learn to cope. However, oven might be safer anyway.

Other: if they have feathers or scales, they will probably moult. This might cause problems with cleaning. However, feathers and scales might have useful properties, or superstitious ones. Also, if they grow their wings as a child, it will probably hurt - like teething. So pain management might be necessary. They might enjoy ,being in high places - like platforms and stuff in random places. Also, wings would probably show off a lot of their emotions - it's like a second face they need to hide.
