Title: Characters with wings
Post by: Derpiederp on December 07, 2014, 12:37:30 pm
You know that all of us have used wings at some point of our newbie days, right? Well, I see no problem with using them and actually many of my characters have them, but now let's get to the point. It seems awfully difficult to find a RP with a winged character. I have tried to find a semi-realistic or even unrealistic group with my winged characters but I always get the response:"Your characted is good and your RP sample was acceptable, but I can not let a character with wings join." I know it might be unfair for the people with no wings, but I think this is a bit stupid...what do you guys think? :-\

I think you should try and start a own pack, so that everyone with wings can join, if not then you just need to find a pack that accepts chars. with wings.

Yes!!
I agree with Canon.
Go and start the biggest Winged character group ever!
I support that idea~

*Ahem*
On the other paw, I agree. I find this stupid in most cases. They're just
wings, it's not like it's going to make your RP less "appealing"...

Agreed, I may not throw wings on my chars, they look funny to me with how they fold and move ^^;
BUT they should not be hated on or anything, cause I used to draw a lot of winged wolves and it's super cool, I mean if wings is the only thing not letting you join then that is just stupid. If you make a winged group, I would gladly join

Well, I'd have to disagree. I'm making a roleplay, and I wouldn't allow any characters with wings to join. Sure, it's a semi-realistic roleplay, but in this instance having wings would be too much. I think saying that not allowing winged characters in a group is stupid is a bit rude. It's not that I hate wings, winged character, or people with winged characters, but with my roleplay, they just wouldn't fit.

But, it's true that there is a lack of winged character roleplays. I think a winged character rp would be a great idea! ^^ I honestly rarely see characters with wings anymore, perhaps if you made a pack for winged wolves or whatever they would become a bit more popular c:

I've always thought this was stupid, even from my first week of playing this game. I understand for a realistic rp... and I kinda do for a semi-realistic rp (depending how the character got the wings), but I do not understand it for an unrealistic rp. It's just... dumb

As for the winged group, go for it!

Aye, it can be very difficult to let people accept a winged character, outside of Fantasy roleplays and such

I do recall a semi realistic pack accepting me even though I had wings(This was back in my newbie days of 2013), as long as I didn't use them.

So yes, I agree it's sort of stupid that for most 'unrealistic' roleplays wouldn't accept a winged character.

But I think it really depends on the content and style of 'unrealistic' or semi realistic roleplay, because I doubt that a zombie apocalypse roleplay would accept a white wolf with wings.
Though I may be wrong.

Yeah well the pack with winged wolves sounds great, but unfortunately, I don't have time to make one right now :I if someone made one I would totally join it!

It be so cool to have a winged rp!

I'm kinda sick of all the realistic rps, we need something new and unique!

I think rps have to be more accepting tbh, atleast the person was nice about it. Most people are really rude when it comes tto denying some to a rp.  :-\

Hmm....
I believe for a realistic group to deny a winged character is acceptable and perfectly logical.

But think before you call a semi-realistic group stupid or rude when they deny your winged characters. They are called semi-realistic because they mostly allow unrealistic colors and maybe some traits but still want to keep a level of realism in their roleplays, hence why the 'realistic' word in this particular group. In many cases wings are already too unrealistic for a semi-realistic group. Hence why they deny winged characters most of the time.

Actually, I wouldnt be angry for fantasy RPs denying winged characters. After all... it depends on the roleplay content. Many are afraid that a winged character would abuse their ability to fly when doing certain actions or in fighting situations, attacking from the air while making the other appear stupid. I had bad experience before with people like that. Hence why most Rps where fighting between characters cannot be avoided, they make sure to not accept winged characters for this reason.

But I do agree that there should be more winged roleplay groups. I am attempting to find one for my dragon that I recently made but so far had no luck.

I have nothing against wings, and honestly I would use them more if I didn't have the issue from getting to point A to point B so slowly. xD

I like to get to places quickly, and flying is a tad too slow for my taste.

I think I've slept trought a few generations then xD Because I haven't noticed anything like that, it's maybe because I'm getting too old. v-v

I'm going to make a unrealistic (Sort-of) Winged rp. It's going to be gargoyles, but even I'll have requirements for that. For example: NO NEON GARGOYLES, IT HURTS THE EYES. But I also think more winged rp's should show up. The only winged rps I did find were either nightfuries, or this God's and Goddess's one.

Completely depends on the roleplay, and how much realism they slap onto it. other than that you should not block winged characters out if they would fit within your roleplay settings, my opinion has been stated.

-P.S. I'd love the Idea of a winged group.

Actually...I'm not so busy with RPs now and I don't have school for 3 weeks...I can make it! I just need to draw a picture of a winged species I created, and then I can start! :D

I can kind of see people getting denied for having wings outside of fantasy RPs, since realistic and semi-realistic roleplays... I just don't even really see a spot for winged characters in those.

I understand if you were playing a bird (as I do have an eagle character) but honestly most of the bird groups out there are just... plain illiterate or too focused on Guardians of Ga'hoole.

I agree with you there, Lazuli.

It's really a matter of taste really. I do find it a bit ridiculous if an unrealistic RP denies you over the fact that your character has wings. In some cases there is a good reason, mainly because wings don't fit the plot/setup of the RP. There is a good bit of prejudice against winged characters, and more so towards those with brighter colors or more outlandish markings.

And I would love to see a winged group!

I personally love winged characters, and have a few of them myself. Though, I personally only enjoy using wings on characters like dragons, gryphons, etc. Anything that would actually have wings in real life. Though, I do love people's creativity when it comes to winged wolves/cats.
I usually don't allow wings in my role plays (considering they're realistic, and, most of them are either Warriors or Lions) though I totally support the idea that their character has wings!

But hey, start up that winged rp and I'd even see about joining. Sounds fun!
