The eponymous 'Bad Leg'- formerly broken, or repeatedly dislocated, or healed with gnarled scar-tissue impeding movement, or an old injury having lasting nerve-damage- that has a character limping, leaning on a cane, kneading at aches, stiffening with ill-use or change in weather, enduring sporadic bad/worse days, pushing through in the heat of the moment and paying for it later, needing the additional support of a brace, a telltale hitch in their step or distinctive gait, acquiescing to a massage to ease it, compensating for it being weaker, biting back pained noises or flinches, having it targeted in a fight, their friends being understanding/accomodating without a fuss, leaning on things/sitting more to briefly rest, trying to disguise their limp out of self-consciousness or to avoid identification, their leg and its condition a visible reminder of the injury

Sometimes I think a lot of how easy it is for people to consider you a "weirdo" or something when you're physically disabled.
Like yeah, when you're mentally disabled that happens too, I have several disorders, but being physically disabled has its own unique tint to it.
The way people stare at you with something close to disgust when they see you limping, the way they look at you with pity, idk. I don't think people ever think that they're one small step away from limping their way into places too, how frail the body is and how simple it would be to end up on the same situation, that's why they probably find it hard to humanize your situation, you're alien to them, you're a weird creature, an amusement to some, even.
Just my weird rambles.

I want to see a Whumpee limp. Did they hurt their leg or foot somehow? Where are they going that's so important that they couldn't rest their leg/foot? Were they escaping from Whumper or a dangerous situation that gave Whumpee that injury in the first place?
Just. Whumpees who limp.

Gaits being wrong.
An angel who drifts across the ground, barely making contact with the earth below, walking heavily and clunkily, wings dragging.
A lumbering beast, like a dragon perhaps, who typically takes large and regal steps with a steady, firm gait, walking unusually lightly, refusing to let their claws touch the ground for too long.
Limping or holding a leg up, or putting less pressure on it. If they can speak, refusing to explain why, leaving the mystery of the wound to go unanswered.
The way a character walks shows so much about them, so what happens when they aren't moving right?

Whumpril 2024 Day 1: Limp
So uh I've only ever shared my whump writing with like. Two other people in my entire life. And it's been years since I let people read anything I've written in general. So it's kind of a big leap for me to post this, but I wanna get out of my comfort zone a little and develop these OCs some more. @whumpril
Contains: Sprained ankle, limping, fleeing from law enforcement, brief mention of gunshots, a little platonic comfort at the end, female whumpee
~
Kalei had no idea how she managed to evade the police pursuing her.
The darkening woods around her were quiet aside from the chirping bugs and distant birdsong. No matter how hard she strained, she couldn’t hear any more footsteps crashing through the brush or shouted orders to surrender. Which was a miracle considering how close they had been when she tripped on that stupid tree root.
That stupid fucking tree root that left her with what she prayed was just a sprained ankle and not a fracture. Whatever was wrong, it hurt. And even worse, it kept her slow. Each leaping step forward on her left leg came with an awkward landing and pulse of pain on her right. She grimaced and whispered obscenities under her breath each time. Every low ditch or patch of thick foliage beckoned to her, practically inviting her to stop and hide so that she could rest and assess the damage.
Stopping wasn’t an option.
She had to get to Dace and Matago first.
The whole job had been a set-up, clearly orchestrated by Vanidor. Get an undercover officer to pose as the client, lure them out of the city and into a rural part of Garal, arrest them after they’ve delivered the stolen goods. It was convincing enough that Kalei felt safe making the delivery by herself. That at least might have thrown a wrench into Vanidor’s plan – he was probably counting on grabbing all three of them in the same place.
That’s the desperate hope she was clinging to, anyway. If there was another team targeting the others back at the ship, then she would be too late.
Another step forward. She landed wrong on the uneven terrain, stifling a pained whimper and failing to hold back her tears. Still, she kept going. There was no way to tell if Vanidor’s team knew where they’d landed the ship. If they did, she could only hope that her crewmates would be able to take off before getting captured.
A familiar golden glow became visible through the maze of trees: the interior light of the Azaphia’s cargo bay, guiding her home.
A bellowing voice came from somewhere behind her. “Police! Stop running and do not move!”
Kalei quickened her pace to the absolute maximum, not once taking her eyes off the light. The adrenaline flooding her system seemed to numb the pain and fuel her forward. The thinning trees revealed the outline of the ship, and then broke entirely, revealing the clearing where they had landed.
She almost collapsed in sheer relief when she spotted Dace already inside, standing at the control panel for the cargo bay’s entry ramp. He slammed his hand on the close button as Kalei forced herself to keep moving. She could still hear the officers behind her, closing the gap, as the Azaphia’s engines began to power on.
The ramp raised up from the ground and inched higher.
Kalei threw herself forward, her chest slamming against the platform’s edge as it ascended. Dace grabbed onto her arms and dragged her up before she could even begin to try to climbing it herself. The two clung to each other, losing their balance and falling to the floor as the ship lifted off.
The first gunshots rang out while the cargo bay’s entrance closed and locked.
Kalei let herself collapse altogether and tried to catch her breath. They weren’t technically safe yet, but she was too exhausted not to place her faith in Matago’s piloting skills.
Dace shifted beside her, pushing himself upright. “What happened?” he demanded.
“Trap,” was all she could say at first. A few deep breaths later, she added, “Vanidor set us up with an undercover operation.”
At the mention of the man’s name, Dace let out a frustrated sigh. “Fucking bastard…guess I’ll have to let Mat know we need to lay low for a while.” He paused, processing more of the situation. “You were limping out there…are you hurt?”
Kalei tried to wave him off, then grimaced as she registered the throbbing pain again. “Twisted my ankle. Just get me some ice.”
The movement of the ship stabilized as Matago got them to the right altitude to fly. Kalei moved to try and stand only for Dace to scoop her into his arms instead. The adrenaline rush gave way to relief, and she found herself laughing as he carried her towards the med bay.
“What’s so funny?” Dace asked.
“Vanidor’s elite federal police can’t even capture a lone woman with only one fully functioning leg.”
