[personal profile] illuminist posting in [community profile] little_details
Hi folks! I'm brainstorming a paraplegic character (gunshot wound in the past) in an urban fantasy setting. The tech level is modern (smartphones, wifi, etc) and the character has terrakinesis abilities: mentally lifting rocks, shaping and warping metal, transmuting one substance to another.

Do you have any ideas on what features would be cool to have in a fantasy wheelchair? Currently I'm thinking of a floating office chair that responds to mental commands, but I'd love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

I see your account is freshly created, perhaps for the purpose of using this comm; welcome to Dreamwidth, and I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Some of it will depend on your character’s degree of disability: I presume this was a spinal cord injury? What level?

You describe the tech level as “modern”, but present-day communities differ wildly in their accessibility. How accommodating is your character’s community as far as things like ramps, restroom space, doorbell and elevator button altitude, and motion-sensitive doors?

I’m not qualified—yet—but actual wheelchair users have first dibs on this one: what’d be your wishlist?
