I know why; they're cool, and they have a deep yearning to be free and with the air, which'll be a major theme in the story. But... I don't know how to explain their wings. I don't want them to be a supernatural race, so I think they'll have to be a past genetic experiment, as in decades ago so an unstable population has started to grow. They have large bird-like wings like in this[http://pre05.deviantart.net/a8fd/th/pre/f/2012/199/b/e/bef027abce839b197a664cc6c30e0554-d57r2br.jpg](http://pre05.deviantart.net/a8fd/th/pre/f/2012/199/b/e/bef027abce839b197a664cc6c30e0554-d57r2br.jpg) and [http://orig07.deviantart.net/2f3a/f/2013/092/b/0/b0bbaff0c7c9d3f212fc371c25191367-d607soj.jpg](http://orig07.deviantart.net/2f3a/f/2013/092/b/0/b0bbaff0c7c9d3f212fc371c25191367-d607soj.jpg) (I don't own the art). I'm also not sure if they would be discriminated against in society, or if they'd be dependent on some kind of drugs to suppress any genetic faults. I do know that they have a short lifespan (usually less than 40 years). It's set in a cold northern city on an alternative earth that borders the Arctic ocean. It's a gritty, tough place with people to match.
