Gonna start uploading what I've done throughout the semester. If you watch my deviant art, this is nothing new, complete with copypasta descriptions.

Okay looks like I got another character debut so here I go!
This gal here calls herself Tern and yes she has artificial wings. She always dreamed of flying so, long story short, she built herself a pair of functional wings using hoverboard technology. She's always had a strong interest in cybernetics and biological technology and worked on this project with enthusiasm. The wings generate lift using the same tech that hoverboards use, it's basically small-scale anti gravity mumbo jumbo (Clarke's Third Law might apply lol). The wings can fold up neatly against her back, although it doesn't fit under clothes very well. She usually wears a baggy sweatshirt to keep them covered when not in use. Her boots are specially designed for flight, containing the same tech used in the wings. The boots keep her body stable in the air and help her land.

The rest of the story and characters are equally off-beat haha. Pretty much all the characters do science things for the sake of science. You want to fly? Have some mecha wings. You want to shapeshift? Have some nanotechology to help with that. You want to be someone/something completely different? Have some new genes. And so on.
