Behold my super birbs.
Part 2 of my bird au is finally done.
This took way longer than I thought it would but here they are.
Orange, like I mentioned in the previous post, is a phoenix. He got his wings along with his powers during the showdown but didn't know he was a phoenix specifically until somewhere between season 3 and 4. He still doesn't know about his powers until The Box though. Like phoenixes, damaged feathers usually burn away but ones that fall out naturally turn goldenish (which includes his gift feathers, tiny retcon from the previous post but eh those designs weren't final anyway. The bird legs and beaks are also gone).
Dark is a vampire bat, and he's very into it. He still loves his spiders more of course. Honestly he's pretty much the same chaotic maniac in canon but now with bat antics. He can somewhat choose how bat-like he looks but not his size or whether or not he has wings.
Chosen is a raven, and unlike Dark, he doesn't really like being an avian. His wings came in perfectly fine (hc that he's always in good physical health) but it was still painful. He's since learned to tolerate his wings but still wishes he was his old self. He doesn't take care of his wings at all. Btw remember that perma-chirping thing I mentioned in the previous post?
NO ONE is a sopping wet cat of a bird whose wings were torn and clipped while he was in the box. More information once he stops drowning.
Victim is a crow. Since his wings came in after he crash landed in the Outernet they didn't get stripped of color and are a shining pristine black. At least, they were pristine until Mitsi died and Vic stopped taking care of himself. All that damage on his wings are from stress shedding, stress plucking, mating and just general lack of care. Vic has thought about docking his wings but with how small his claws are decided it's not worth it. He used to have a lot of gifted feathers from his village and other close friends but currently only keeps Mitsi's.
While Vic can't fly on his damaged wings, H4CK3R has those cool electric hologram wings. Too bad electricity is bad for his accessories.
Fun fact, one of the differences between ravens and crows is that ravens are solitary birds with a flock of about two and live away from civilization in rural areas, while crows are more social and live in more populated areas in large flocks. Also ravens are larger.
Hollow heads, being the special race of stickmen they are, have shoulder claws as well as the usual thumb claws. (I also thought about giving them a second set of thumb claws but it looked weird so I decided against it)
Like I mentioned in the previous post, any stickfigure that comes to life outside the Outernet won't become an avian until they go there. So all the hollow heads had to go through a transformation to become avians. Vic was lucky to have had Mitsi convince him to see a doctor for the pain in his back so his wings came out safely and painlessly. Dark, as I stated previously, is more fuzzy than avian, so he simply shifted into a bat overnight. Orange was too distracted by his friends being alive after the showdown to realize he has wings and didn't even know something was different until long after he collapsed on the couch in the PC. And then there's poor Chosen who didn't have any of these benefits and experienced the pain of having two somethings larger than yourself tear out of your skin and muscle. At least Dark helped patch him up but he wasn't much help with all the mental anguish.
That's about it for now. Part 3 will be Purple and her families. As always if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
