Flight

Representative Icarus
Flight has always possessed an inherent appeal for humans. Millennia of evolution into highly intelligent tool-users and a century of true aviation later and the appeal still remains—the desire to take to the skies unaided is so basic it’s an expected theme in nighttime dreaming. Much like Starburst, flight has quite the rainbow of flavors; to accomplish this feat, characters might, have functional wings like a bird, bat, or insect, produce mechanical thrust like a rocket or jet engine, lift themselves or a platform they’re standing on telekinetically, alter their own gravity, either making themselves weightless or making themselves ‘fall’ in any direction, let the air move them by riding strong winds they may or may not have conjured, use magic or some technological equivalent, use buoyancy and fill themselves with air like a blimp or balloon, sometimes jump, really, really far, just do it, because screw explanations… ~ Flight – TV Tropes
