Some context: myself, and another dungeon master were discussing the instant Fortress and its interactions with a bag of holding. My stance was that the instant Fortress is essentially utilizing a very powerful enlarge/reduce spell. And his stance was that the instant Fortress is an extra dimensi...
So anything you come up with as a hack is going to be subject to finding someone who tolerates it.
AND one of the first things you bring up to a new DM being "hey, I have this OP monster race I want to play, can you help me tone it back" puts strain on the dynamic
Your number 1 best bet is to make a LOT of concessions and stay within the rules. number 2 is probably a different system.
But if you want to try to make a custom race that's closeish to what you want, I like doing that.
and then number 4 is finding someone to just let you play a wyrmling or something.
That still doesn't answer my question. So I'm going to assume that you've read virtually none of the rules.
D&D, as a specific series of systems, is generally pretty rules heavy. There are a lot of steps to making and playing characters.
Again, It is not a good fit for "look at my OC that I made, can I play it in your game?".
I'm making a lot of assumptions with our past conversation, so let me know if I'm either off base or coming off as mean, but I'm really trying to lead you to the right direction here
You are definitely new to the system, and seemingly new to role playing.
That's all fine.
Are also seem young - teenager maybe?
Still fine.
But you're not doing your due diligence to research what you're asking about.
I'm not saying you need to be an expert. but you need to start somewhere, and for D&D, that somewhere is reading some of the rules, so you have an idea of what you're asking about.
I concur. In particular, you should read Chapter 1 to understand how a basic character is made. In fact, I'd even make one yourself to understand the process
Once you understand the process, it'll give you an idea as to what kinds of options can fill your character needs.
To summarize (although I still encourage that you read the rules), a characters race is connected to their lineage, a characters background is connected to their pre-adventuring life, and a characters class is their post-adventuring skillset
@Drakethedragon Winged races basically only get wings for balance reasons. Similarly, the changeling (a shape changing race) also only gets that feature.
If you want to have shape changing and wings, you will need to leverage other elements of the character creation (class in particular) to get these abilities. This means it will not be achievable at level 1 at most tables
I was in the process of writing up an answer to your question that got all the things you needed by level 11 with some reflavoring of the druid features, but that seemed a bit late in the character development for what you are trying to do
@Drakethedragon When D&D says "average damage", that's technical jargon you can't really be expected to know automagically. The term means half the dice's value; for 1d8, that's 4. With a modifier of +3, that's 4+3=7, seven damage is the average amount of damage you'd deal with 1d8+3, so less important characters deal 7 damage without rolling the dice in order to speed up combat.
@Drakethedragon I love the enthusiasm, but you're trying to dig without a shovel. Without understanding the rules and the system, trying to homebrew something is going to be next to impossible - nevermind getting it ok'd by your DM.

And that goes with 'finding' homebrew, too. Whether that's from a reputable source like @goodguy5, or from less trustworthy sources. Any DM may or may not allow something they didn't do.
Really, before any of us can help you, you need to get a basic understanding of the rules and talk to your DM about what you could do.
