thats kinda like saying because we can walk we have no need for carsLupin wrote:Figarou wrote: I rather drive than get into one of those.
And I KNEW you was mention an airplane when it comes to traveling by flying. If humans really did have wings, would we have airplanes today?
I don't know many birds that can cross oceans at 500 miles an hour. And just beause people can drive most everywhere doesn't stop the business of domestic plane flights.

Not really. It's saying the exact opposite.Timber-WoIf wrote:thats kinda like saying because we can walk we have no need for carsLupin wrote:Figarou wrote: I rather drive than get into one of those.

I'd be happy enough with any pair of working wings, though a lot of the same contengencies about becoming a werewolf would apply to growing wings--discontinuity of reality and so forth.
I picked feathered wings; at least the religious loonies wouldn't try to kill me. Heck, I could just say "God says to give it a rest," and I could fix a lot of problems without even flying.

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

If I had wings, I actually think that Faery type wings would be...extraordinarily cute, and fun. So I voted "butterfly" because it seems close enough to me.
Otherwise, I'd go with the typical bird wings coming out of the back to give me an Angel-like look.
(I'm not too keen on the idea of having wings, either. Though flying with my own wings just for a day would be awesome.)

That would be an interesting combination - are you suggesting the concept of flying rich llamas?
*Baphnedia hands lupin his tail* I really hope you know what to do with it, I really can't fit a 40' tail into my dodge. Have lots of tail. Get lots of tail. You can have my tail, but you won't get tail from me.

Bird wings, but Id be hollow boned I suppose...well Id be very biologically different.
Oh lets say its magic. Mine would be ... well I have several colour schemes that would be cool. They'd be able to go invisible or something. Rainbowish wings would be cool, or black with reddish or fire like tips or undersides or something, or mottled brown/black like my hair.
I really would like a long tail. Like a Sifaka tail. Or a fossa tail. It'd be prehensile and dark brown like my hair. Man, wings and a tail and shape shifting abilities!

The red face is better, but both of them kind of look like he's wearing a bright red shirt. If you can tone down the body a bit it'd look neat, though.
Me, I'd take dragon wings. If I just had bat wings, well, bat wings are tiny! They'd never lift me. But dragons...
And dragon and bat wings are different. Most, or at least many, bat wings are attached not only to the arms but to the sides of the body and even the legs. Dragon wings are... well, they're mythical, so their physiology is whatever we want it to be, eh?

Maybe Ill take his shirt off so he's just a red furred naked wolf it'd probably look better.Xodiac wrote:The red face is better, but both of them kind of look like he's wearing a bright red shirt. If you can tone down the body a bit it'd look neat, though.

I chose dragon wings.
But, really, as others have pointed out, in order for them to be functional, they'd have to be MASSIVE, and that would be a huge hassle for anything but flying. And flying itself would probably be difficult and tiring.
I would DEFINITELY love the ability to fly. Though I think I'd be better off with some kind of levitational flying, like super heroes have. It'd just be easier and more convenient, and I wouldn't have to chop up all my clothes.
