Last Tribe A Day run cycle was today so I decided to combine them all to show the differences!
[ID: Seven sketchy animated run cycles, all of the original dragon tribes from Wings of Fire. They alternate sides as they go down, starting with the top one on the left and the second on the right, and so on. The background is a blank white. Each dragon has shaded limbs to help see the differences while in movement. The right wing is the darkest shade, followed by the left wing (closest to the screen), the the right legs are the lightest shaded. Descriptions are in order from top to bottom:
Mudwing: Drawn in a dark red. The thickest dragon by far, opening is mouth in a smile as its front legs hit the ground. Its large wings have four toes as if they were a third set of talons, which is used as another set of legs while running. The wings lift off after the back legs. The entire body bobs with its weight while it runs, lunging with its back legs. One of its back legs disappears while it runs (oopsies) and its large tail flicks with the run.
Skywing: Drawn in a darker red. Much skinnier dragon with longer limbs and larger wings. Its large wings remain slight open above its border, slightly bobbing as it moves. The body itself doesn’t move up and down, instead just twisting with movement of its limbs. Its tail is a little stiff, again just moving up and down. As it runs, one foot touches and leaves the ground at a time.
Icewing: Drawn in a dark blue. Its body and shape is ridgid, its head swooping up and down like it lunges with every time its front talons land. Again, its wings are used as a third pair of legs, however they are mostly used after the other limbs are mid-air. Its talons are visibly sharper, as well as its wings. Sharp spines on the back of its neck and end of its tail are visible as well, which bobs with the movement.
Seawing: Drawn in a dark blue. A thicker, long dragon with short but thick limbs and webbed frills along its spine and sternum. It’s thick tail continues the up and down curve it’s body makes with every move, flicking the end of the frills as it does. Its wings are semi open above its body, bobbing with the running movement and tilting up and down as its spine curves.
Sandwing: Drawn in a warm brown. Long limbs but thicker than skywing. All four feet lift of the air when they’re closest during the run, each foot hitting the ground one at a time. It’s barbed scorpion-like tail bobs up and down at the end. Its wings are folded and stuff near its shoulders, tilted diagonally. A solid frill lines its spine, biggest at the back of its neck and above the back legs.
Nightwing: Drawn in a dark purple grey, and by far the stiffest run cycle. Thick body with short but thinner legs than mudwings or seawings. Spikes line the spine all along its body, longest at the back of the neck and back of the body. Its wings are held stiffly and slightly folded over its body. Other than the legs and tail, most of the nightwing barely moves as it runs, and its legs hit the ground in pairs, front legs then back legs. They don’t even cross between each other at the closest part in the run. Its mouth opens and closes as it runs, not in any particular expression, I was just bored.
Rainwing: Drawn in a muted dark green. By far the bounciest run. It has a thin body and a head I accidentally drew a little big. It’s three-toed wings are used as a third pair of legs, used most right before it’s front legs hit the ground. Its front legs hit the ground at the same time, however the back legs hit and leave together. Its tail is by far the longest, curled at the end and slightly unraveling as it flicks up and down. Beneath the curved horns is a frill with two connections that slight opens and closes with the movement. It’s grin also opens and closes with the movement.

ok so I'd like for you to imagine something,
imagine a furry tgirl, she has little ears on her head and she's curled up cozily on a bean bag, and she's softly purring.
ok that's all thank you for your time

FINALLY DUMPING SOME OF RIDE THE WAVES SHITFUCKED WORLDBUILDING/LORE
before i say anyhting i need to say that this whole story is entirely based on some obscureish rhythm game slash platformer i like (soundshapes) .and also that this post is Really Fucking Long . so strap in everyone
the main species in the story (queazians)
i named them after one of the studios that worked on the game this storys based on .queasy games . i think im clever
all queazians have a weird blobby head with a single eye , humanoid body , sticky pads on their hands + feet , and some kind of tail
the head + sticky pads + sometimes tail are all made of the same goopy stuff . its also the main substance in their bloodstream
queazians start out as Just their head and over time their actual body sprouts out of it
fully developed queazians can actually retract their body back into their head if they wanna get around faster but they dont look similar to newly born queazians at all so they cant like . disguise themselves as babies or anyhring
they can Only be physically hurt by things colored bright red or pink . like if you shot one in the head theyd get up and be fine but if the bullet happened to be bright red/pink theyd be dead as a doornail . theres no explanation for this other than thats how it works in the game
all queazians come from the mother which is just . a really big nonsentient queazian at the center of the multiverse that they all just break off of and float away from
the mother USED to have this cool magical substance in it that gave queazians swagful powers but then VEX went and STOLE IT ALL when he was born (ill talk more about him l8r hes i,mportant)
drawing slash diagram of a queazian so this makes at least a little bit of sense
Tumblr media
where does this even take place ???
short answer: everywhere !
long answer: diff sections of the story take place in diff universes , some sections of the story take place in the same universe - every character ends up finding eachother through . just kismet i guess
only exception here is vex because he doesnt necessarily live in Any universe . he actually lives in this citadel at the center of the multiverse (appropriately named the C.M. Citadel) where the mother is
the wave . aka the one thing that fucks everything up
sent out across the multiverse by vex (because Of Course) and its whole purpose is to . like i said . fuck up everyhting it touches in some way
physically just looks like a mess of blinding sparks and also makes a horrible screeching sound when it passes
affects every character in a different way , some more dramatically than others
has a few different ways of fucking shit up , including doing physical damage to things creating living beings and affecting peoples minds . overall everything it does has a negative effect
ohhhhhh shit here comes an entire section dedicated to character descriptions + stories
sprout (they/it)
theyre just a happy little guy . joyous beast
lives on this little cute whimsical planet named Helowurld (like . hello world . because thats the section of the game its based on)
grew up surrounded by all these weird little creatures and no one could actually speak Words so they ended up learning the creatures’ languages instead . which is just like bleep bloops and beatbox noises
most creatures on its planet are friendly , some ARE semi dangerous but sprout always manages to befriend them all . how do they do it
have not decided how the wave is gonna affect it . actually . original plan was that they were gonna be created by the wave but it didnt make sense . they dont wanna hurt nobody ………
eventually ends up befriending mars !!!!! besties !!!!!!!!
thomas (he/him)
average office worker . so so tired and confused all the time but just has to live with it
i think hes also a huge loser i need to incorporate at LEAST one failass character into my stories or i will die
lives in a world pretty similar to earth and the company he works for is just called GENERIC CO . they do Things and make Stuff and are definitely not corrupt at all
when the wave hit him it made him realize how much his job sucks ass and inspired him to try and escape the building . sounds like a good thing at first !!!! but he almost goes Completely Insane trying to get out !!!!!!
they put a chip in his brain that actively tries to stop him from leaving the building .this is entirely inspired by my controller drifting really badly when i was replaying his section of the game LMAO also he ends up ripping it out of his own head at one point
need to stress that this building is fucking Huge . he gets lost in there very easily . and theres also this scrapyard hellscape filled with torn up machinery under the building he gets stuck in for a while
the one little bit of enrichment in his personal torment nexus is this cute little office cat named benny who . can clone himself for whatever reason
alexis (she/they)
part of a team of astronauts embarking on a mission called project beyond . not sure what the objective is but its probably along the lines of flying to farther off planets theyve been observing from a distance and find out more about them firsthand
pretty kind and levelheaded most of the time but can crack under enough pressure ….. solid role model ……. also unrelated to the last 2 parts but TGIRL SWAG‼️‼️‼️
took her little sibling mars with her on the mission but the wave ended up wrecking their ship midflight and leaving them literal worlds apart from eachother !!!!! Whoopsies !!!!!!!!
bad news is she is now possibly permanently separated from her sibling good news is that she landed on one of the planets theyd already been studying ! convenient
she just refers to the planet she landed on as The Beyond (cus like . project beyond yeah very original of me) and its like . basic scifi shtick on there . funky aliens extreme conditions technology that seems to have been made by the funky aliens etc
so she just spends her time on there studying everything and trying to keep herself alive while also trying to find a way to find mars again
OH AND ALSO initially alexis and mars arent suuuperr fond of eachother but the moment theyre separated by the wave they want eachotjer back so bad it hurts ………..Heh i love putting guys in situations
mars (any)
theyre like . 12 . youngest of the group next to sprout (its ageless but whatever) . he probably has skibidi toilet humor imsorry
they USED to be goofy and whimsical like sprout but then the Events happened !!!!!!
unlike alexis instead of landing on a different planet mars was sent to a wholeass different universe . how tha hell
the place they land in is called Arcadia because ! well ! everything looks like an arcade game ! all the creatures there are like space invaderish alien things and everything is like . blindingly neon . please do not go there without some kinda eye protection
mars is fucking Terrified . btw . of everything there . lil bro just wants to be with her sister again :o((((
the whole reason why arcadia is so hostile is just because the section of the game its based on is So So Hard compared to the rest . i have had so many mental breakdowns while replaying that shit it is a miserable experience
like i said earlier , sprout and mars end up finding eachother and becoming besties but the way they actually found eachother was after mars found a rift between the universe that holds arcadia and the universe that holds helowurld .so ! mars gets a little bit of a happy ending ! i guess
vex . the real important one (prefs he/him but honestly does nooottt care)
hes my favorite but i based him on my fav part of the game soooo i May be biased
remember when i said he stole all the magical stuff inside the mother when he was born ? yeah that was a thing that happened
because of him having all that magic shit inside him he has a lot of qualities that queazians normally dont have . like floating limbs and wings and bright red body parts to Hit And Claw You with
hes just a huge freak naturally . he doesnt have any tragic backstory or anyhring hes just like that
when he came down to the cm citadel almost everyone there started worshipping him as a god (cus . i mean . he pretty much is)
but then he sends out the wave and destroys the citadel + almost all its residents !!!!! cus hes silly like that !!!!!!!
he now lives inside this fucked up pocket dimension that .has no name currently where he watches all the waves chaos go down from afar . also he created a bunch of weird little servant creatures that he just refers to as The People
he looooves singing funny little songs . specifically songs about how badly hes fucked up peoples lives (inspired by his section of the game being the only section to have lyrics in the soundtrack .also by that logic he would sound like beck which ?????? yeah ok sure i guess)
ok character section over
timeline (that i mostly just pulled out of my ass as i wrote)
vex is born
vex goes to the citadel where hes worshipped by everyone there
thomas is born
alexis is born
mars is born
thomas starts working at generic co (bad idea)
alexis embarks on her mission with mars (equally bad idea)
vex sends out the wave
vex creates his Unnamed Pocket Dimension + the people
sprout is born
thomas has his Realization after getting hit by the wave and starts looking for a way out of the building
alexis’ ship gets wrecked by the wave and separates her from mars
alexis lands in the beyond
mars lands in arcadia
alexis starts studying the beyond (and the wave too .because she figured out what that was) while also trying to find a way off the planet and track down mars
mars finds the rift between arcadia and helowurld
sprout and mars have funnnnn :o)) yayyyyy :o)))
alexis leaves the beyond and finds out that helowurld and the beyond are in somewhat close proximity ! convenient
alexis lands on helowurld and has her cute happy reunion with mars and tells him and sprout about the wave . and that they need to leave before the wave reaches helowurld
and im not sure where to go after this !!!!! i am very open to suggestions btw
was gonna make add more sketches of the cast and how their worlds look but i dont hwve my art shit currently so ill reblog this with that stuff when i can

They're a 10 but they have a secret tail they wag when they see you
They're a 10 but shake water off their body like a dog when they're wet
They're a 10 but absolutely demolish meat when they get their teeth on it
They're a 10 but wear collars and enjoy the jingle sound their tag makes when they move
They're a 10 but instead of looking at you when you talk they angle their secret fluffy ears in your direction instead
They're a 10 but put a bunch of pillows, blankets, plushies, etc. on their bed and call it their nest
They're a 10 but wrap their secret wings around you when you're sad
They're a 10 but they cock they're head at you when confused and whine when sad
They're a 10 but point their antlers at you and stomp their hooves when they're mad
They're a 10 but they're an animal
If they're any of these.. they're way higher than just a 10

yes my favorite type of fanfiction consists of characters getting tenderly cared for and comforted after a lifetime of being forced to suffer alone in silence, no this doesn't say anything about me
