Of course, I had to vote for the "I know but I'm not telling one." ^^

Well, I was torn between "alien" and "part of his subconcious", but if you look at my speculation, then you'll see why they both dovetailed into "alien". So, basically, I think Winter IS an alien....I just don't know if he's a REAL, separate-from-Wren telepathic alien or some weird alien alter-ego thing. But he's still an alien.

I'm rather convinced he's an alien, by the following reasoning: Winter appears to have the same kind of tail as Wren. Now where would GECOW have gotten the genetic information for a long, white, prehensile tail from? No terran animal has something like that, and designing an actual limb from scratch is incredibly difficult. Much simpler to take a ready-evolved piece from some other species, even if it has to be translated into human genome first. So long as the other species has some sort of genetic make-up (need not be DNA-based), that should be possible.
So, Wren appears to have an alien tail, somehow. That is also quite plausible from GECOW's point of view, because just having any tail per se is not that significant an advantage. Studying an alien limb, on the other hand, might be very interesting.
Now, what about the image of Winter in Wren's dreams? I see two possibilites: Winter is a separate being, communicating with Wren somehow (telepathy? pheromones? remote brain waves?), most likely picking Wren because of his modification. Or, he is a part of Wren's personality, something Wren has built to represent the part of himself that makes him different from the people surrounding him. In that case, Winter is a construct of Wren's imagination, and need not look like an actual alien - he's just a body to go with a tail.

Wow - you've really got a theory there. That's actually a really good explanation of why Wren doesn't have a tail in the dream sequences... :: is impressed ::

Yes! I agree with you 100%, Reignbow. That was essentially my theory, only said 20 times better. XD

I agree that reignbow has a definite point, but i would want to ask about some points that aim more towards it being a manifestation of what it was taken from, than a separate entity, especially since the place wren was born, or created, to link to the second panel, " www.doomnstuff.com/wn3page8.html " If they were trying to make a weapon, instead of a god, does that mean that winter as he is called, is trying to awaken wren to what he can do? " www.doomnstuff.com/wn2page9.html " Yet we don't ever see much of any sign of pain from wren save when direct pressure is applied? Second degree burns, deep or shallow, would be wrapped heavily in gauze for a normal individual. Another route to consider is what has been done to him inside, and in his own mind. " www.doomnstuff.com/wnpage6.html " what does "Find the door, take them inside" mean when your talking to something more than a dream? It has meaning, i believe, but could be speaking of a biological absorption, or more a mental one? ( wren being an incomplete weapon/diety?)

I chose other. While he's most likely one of the aliens, I'd like to believe he's some sort of guardian to Wren. Perhaps to guide Wren to fulfill his destiny, possibly towards completing himself, from "being an incomplete weapon/diety"? But I digress. My view is that he's some sort of personal totem (similar to how the Native Americans had their own personal totem, i.e. the Eagle, or the Bear, etc.)
Many questions to be answered.
(Where's the option that says "Madsniper has no clue yet"? XD)

*lol* Rest assured, Mdax, I know exactly what he is.^^ Thus, I chose the "not telling" option. XD

His alien side, or at least, a fragment of what he is. Broken, discombobulated, but still kinda there. It's like when you find out your ancestors are from Africa, and your enjoying a healthy does of your Swedish customary foods. Weird, huh?

I think GECOW didn't really know what they were doing when they created wren or perhaps didn't fully understand all the aspects of what will be created when they carry on that work , just carrying on something they found after the aliens left. And so somewhere in the process of making wren, an alien consciousness was written into his brain and so winter was born!

Hey Guys first post after i read through the comic thus far my little take on it is it's a mix of some things.
first off being that the aliens were conducting experiments it is possible that they mixed their DNA with human DNA making mutants of both species. from that i would say wrens tail is his alien mutation and that winter the white thing in his dreams is actually his alien half or his tail talking to him.
so in a sense you could say winter is an alien his mother or father based on DNA and it would totally explain why Wren doesn't have a tail in his 'dreams' which would actually be hiw two minds talking with eachother.
Another thought that occurred to me just as i was typing this is knowledge from one ancestor could be passed down to another through DNA possibly just a little thought at the end.
i think that covers my take on it.

¬.¬ Dude, the mental image I got from that was way too vivid. I can't decide whether I'm evil enough to draw it and show it to you guys or not.
