Wings For Everyone!

No, really, it's like Oprah on a bender, everyone gets a pair! They can be feathery, leathery, tattered, pristine, made out of glitter, feathers, tissue paper or star-stuff.

The only limit is your imagination (and reference pics, if that's your thing)

Maybe your character has always had their wings, maybe they just woke up with them for the first time this morning, it's up to you!


Top-levelers, tell us about your character's wings, any prefs, or prompt ideas!

Comments

Coda - OC - OTA

[senseloss]

[Coda's wings are horrible abominations of broken scrap metal that never stood a chance of flight. This is true even in worlds where most people have nice organic angelic wings.]

Ganymede | Greek mythology

[eagleswept]

[They're the shape and colour of a juvenile golden eagle, so there's white spots on the in/underside of them. He would be delighted to end up with wings.]

Jin Guangyao (Meng Yao)| The Untamed|ota

[hidden_fragrance]

[His wings are golden astral projections born of his own qi. Suffice it to say he has been experimenting with new techniques.]

Captain Jack Harkness l Doctor Who l ota

[captainspain]

[Jack's wings are a mix of blue and gold reflecting his immortality and the time machine that gave it to him. He normally keeps them hidden under his trenchcoat since he quickly realized showing off your wings isn't a big deal in the 21st century.]

[frivolousmiracles]

[ooc: Literal angel wings, white and fluffy. They are normally neatly tucked away in a different dimension, but today they’ve decided to be a bit cheeky and slip out. Feel free to point them out politely or freak out. Whatever suits the situation.]

anthony j. crowley / good omens / ota

[sainsburys_plant_mister]

( HC'd his wings as being silvery-grey, though I haven't thought about what kind of bird they'd resemble! They're usually not out/visible, but he does keep them neat and tidy, so if nothing else, they'd be out for cleaning purposes! )

cinderella | cinderella

[glassact]

[Cinderella's wings look like the glass of her shoes all iridescent and fragile looking. But I wanna say they're stylized similar to Thumbelina's wings!!! So not the traditional wing shape.]

Loki | MCU | OTA

[eyesareactuallygreen]

[Large black wings that shimmer emerald green in the light, they are tied to his magic which allows for them to be magically hidden from sight.]

John Constantine l DCTV l ota

[lostsoulwizard]

[John's wings are black, ragged things that have feathers ripped out of them. He keeps them close to his body unless he is protecting someone then they are fully spread out. They also look like they've been burned and they hurt.]

Ziggy Stardust |The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

[ziggyplayedguitar]

[Probably all glitter and loudly patterned. Here are a couple of ideas]

sorry I couldn't stop him

[guitar_voodoo]

[Mick is now staring hard at the pair of wings Ziggy is now sporting. Would this be in their newest stage performance? If so, the blond was eagerly awaiting what the fans' reactions would be. The wings looked fucking hot on him]

Bloody hell, Ziggy. Wings now, is it? That will surely rock the house down next you go on stage.

[The icon expression all the way.]

We would never ask you to...

[ziggyplayedguitar]

[Ziggy fluttered the huge butterfly wings and looked from Mick's shocked face to the wings on his back.]

I don't know where they came from. I woke up like this.

[guitar_voodoo]

[Jesus Christ. He woke up with them on him? Was this some sort of alien metamorphosis that Antheans went through?]

This isn't normal for you Antheans then? Not like some sort of alien wing thing that happens to you at a different stage in your life? I know I'm talking bollocks here but just wondering.

[Since Mick had seen it all so far with his band mate. Gently he reached out and touched them. He couldn't resist.]

They do suit you, mate. Very pretty and soft.

Victor Frankenstein | Penny Dreadful | OTA

[everlastingchains]

[Victor's wings are rather dangerous to be out as they are made of lightning. He's actually a bit envious of others as he can't fly on wings like that.]

Bucky Barnes - MCU - ota

[woundedwinter]

[Two possible routes - wings as a result of HYDRA experimentation which would make them mechanical and extremely painful to bear.

Or he woke up with a large set of brown-grey mottled wings and is going to wind up breaking a lot of things until someone helps him get them under control.

Or something else!]

Groot - MCU

[acorning]

[Look! He grew these all by himself! Aren't they cool??]

Nicky | The Old Guard | OTA

[allandmore]

[I will always default to 'humans with wings are normal but uncommon' - possibly even more uncommon now than they once were, and therefore a marker of immortality?
Regardless: Nicky's are tawny raptor's wings, some kind of small eagle or kestrel.]

you knew this was coming

[orgilotes]

[ Parked unceremoniously in only a pair of cutoff shorts which might have seen the dawn and dusk of a fair few decades, Andromache is in the sun, one wing mantled in an odd position as she preens her feathers, the other stuck entirely straight up in the air.

Detangling barbs and rubbing oil into the bases of each feather to keep the rachis strong takes a while, even when one's wings aren't six feet long (each) fully extended. ]

Of course!

[allandmore]

Generally speaking it was Booker who usually put Andy to rights, when she didn't insist on doing it herself, which was sometimes. Less than half the time, but still often enough that they all knew the signs, there hadn't been any of those this time, and with Booker still doing some cleanup in the Congo, it meant that it was down to Nicky and Joe to help out, if she needed it.

Of course, with Joe elbow-deep in whatever it was he was making for dinner that smelled fabulous, that really meant it was up to Nicky, especially when his own wings were only halfway set to rights themselves. He held them loose and open over his shoulders even as he leaned one shoulder against the doorframe of the propped-open roof access, "You want some help, boss?"

Zepar | Fallen Angel OC | OTA

[hurtyourealgood]

[He's got them, they're gray and striped like a pigeon's, pinkish on the underside. Usually he's got them hidden, it's just how he does, but if something happened that he can't hide them he'll just act like this is totally 100% normal and fine.]

Door | Neverwhere | OTA

[doorofarch]

[This kind of thing just happens in London Below now and again. Door's set this time have the shape and flexibility of bat wings, but the dusty scales of a moth and she's probably just pretending they're a cloak.]

Mal + Descendants a la Star Wars + OTA

[maladjusting]

[This is a new and distressing side-effect of her powers Going Wrong™. Which is to say: Mal has been sulking around The Lost after sprouting green and purple dragon wings, trying to get them under control.]

Ariel 'Falcon' Wilson | MCU (rule 63) | OTA

[imadebreakfast]

[There are options here: could just be the EXO wing pack. Could be she had some and lost them due to injury/accident and the wing pack is a replacement. Could be she's got them and the wing pack is more like armor for them. Could be a new development! I'm down for whatever, basically.]

Andromache the Scythian | The Old Guard

[orgilotes]

[ Golden eagle. Huge. Easily able to carry her people (whether they themselves have wings or not). ]

Kusakabe Hikaru | Doukyuusei/Sotsugyousei | OTA

[zgok]

[Pale yellow parakeet that fluff up whenever he gets upset. Capable only of limited flight in smaller areas.]
