"Flying is for the birds they say, but what if it wasn't?"
This roleplay is based on the idea of people with wings, for this roleplay I'm calling them Avains. The roleplay takes place in and around a town called Ivy River. It's a small town in the mountains that isn't on most maps.
Ivy River is one of several small towns founded for Avains to live away from humans. It is always open to new members to the flock.
The mountain Range is a great place to stretch your wings and fly. Most humans do not pass through this rugged terrain so it is safe to reveal your features.
Ivy forest is one of the places where Avains can get food. They can catch fresh meat or collect nuts and berries. Though careful, the forest has its name for a reason. Ivy grows in large amounts in the forest.
This lake is the place you want to go if you want to swim or fish. The lake may be small, but the river that runs through town dumps into this lake.

All Avians have wings even if the size and shape vary of the wings. They also have a feathers connecting the wings across the upper part of the back. Sometimes these feathers spread across the neck and shoulders and even down the back. Some Avians have tails of feathers even if their small and barely noticeable or they can have whole peacock tails.

Wings and feather patterns are often determined by the species of bird that Avains resemble. There are four types of wings; High aspect ratio, Low aspect ratio, High speed wings, and Elliptical wings.
Wing Span can be determined by multiplying your character's height by 2, or you can use this wingspan calculator.

Tails can be Long or short, Avains may not even have Tails. It's often a roll of the dice. The amount of feathers on the body vary as well, the most common amount is having extra down feathers between the wings and on the shoulders.

Male and female Avians can be called many things determing what kind of bird they are.
Male Avians are more often covered in brighter and more colorful feathers as are birds in nature. Some male Avians can have dull wings but not vary often. Determing on the species of bird a male Avian can be larger then females.
While the males are brighter and more colorful, female Avians are often the better flyers and hunters if they are birds of prey. Most female Avians are often drawn to bright colors or shiny objects.
As in birds, Avian habits depend on the species. For exsample each bird species has its own unique habits, vultures and other birds of prey are often calm and relaxed when not in motion while smaller birds such as humming birds are twitchy and can't seem to sit still.
All Avians are known to present their wings to a potential mates, presenting is when an Avian will actively groom their wings then spread them along with their tails if they have one. Determing the species of bird some Avains will build nests for their mates or preform aerial shows. Some Avains will preform aerial dances together, these dances are often only preformed during celebrations to show the flock their bonds. Unlike most Birds, Avains are more often found mating for life.
Avains will form flocks that are as small as four or as large as 30. In large flocks, smaller family flocks spend lots of time together but the whole flock in general will spend lots of time preening and strengthing bonds.
Avains are known to duel for many reasons.One can duel to move up in Rank or they can duel to win over a mate. Duels can be friendly and end when one Avian submits or Duels can be bloodly and deadly. The second duels are less common. Young Avians or hatlings have play duels for fun or to determine their rank when they join the flock fully.
Nesting is vary common among Avains, a nest could be elaborate or plain. A nest however is often built by a family unit or by a mated pair. Nests are where a lot of bonding occurs in a flock, the nest appeals to the Avains that created it.
Avains can be created in two ways.
An Avian can give away one of their feathers to a human mate. The Feather then must be placed into the skin as if it had been grown there. The human will experience itchy and swollen skin where feathers and wings will sprout. Often included with this way the human will become the same species of bird that Avain is.
The other way to become an Avian is getting Avian blood into your system. This way is a lot more violent but doesn't take as long to become an Avian. The first day after Avain blood gets in your system a soreness forms in the areas where wings and feathers will sprout. A day or two after that wings will rip through the skin of the human followed by the feathers a day after.

Hiding your bird features is relatively easy, the wings will fit under shirts and jackets without ruffling or shifting. Tails and Feathers included. Avains hide their features when they are likely to be seen by humans.
There are clothes that are made to have your wings and tails to slip through, these garments are usually bras and underware. Though it can also be undershirts or even regular shirts and pants but it's not advised.

Ivy River is one of several small towns founded for Avains to live away from humans. It is always open to new members to the flock.
Ivy River has always been one of the few Flocks that accepts any Avain. While it hasn't always been equal for both genders, it is now. The current flock leader is a peacock, which is frustrating to most of the elders because Peacocks are thought to be overly prideful and therfore not good leaders. However there leader is also quite young, he took leadership after overthrowing the former leader. Their Former leader was a vulture and quite crazy and obsessed with humans, and often kidnapped them to feed on. To stop the human's form discovering the flock the current leader challenged the old vulture to a duel for his title. The vulture made it a duel to the death so the current leader had no choice but to kill him. Most of the Flock are loyal to their leader but there are those who look to his title greedily.
The mountain Range is a great place to stretch your wings and fly. Most humans do not pass through this rugged terrain so it is safe to reveal your features.
Ivy forest is one of the places where Avains can get food. They can catch fresh meat or collect nuts and berries. Though careful, the forest has its name for a reason. Ivy grows in large amounts in the forest.
This lake is the place you want to go if you want to swim or fish. The lake may be small, but the river that runs through town dumps into this lake.
