Description
I found both the Elytrian and Avians' default Origins to be lacking, so I made my own custom set of origins.
This is made for 1.19.2, but it should work on almost any Origin version
This Origin is part of my "Advanced Origins" series. Scroll to the bottom for links.
One of the more complicated Origins of the "Advanced Origins" series, the Avian Origin is for players who love flying and are also fans of pressing multiple keys at once, like in some simulator games. Scroll past the abilities for a quick tutorial on how to fly properly.

"One moment you're walking in a field, the next in a respawn menu wondering what happened. Avians having less health than other Origins like to quickly swoop in to kill their prey or use long-range weapons to take down a target before being spotted. They rely on their wings to quickly escape from most unfavorable situations. If I'm ever attacked by one, I'll be sure to entangle them in a cobweb and drain their life with my poison." -Anonymous Arachnid on how to take down an Avian.
_Abilities_
1: Tap the space key while in the air to start gliding. Once in the air, tapping the jump key will flap your wings forward. Watch your hunger; flapping your wings uses a little bit of energy, and you cannot fly when exhausted.
2: Pressing the Primary interact key will flap your wings once, giving you vertical momentum. Press repeatedly to fly higher. Hint: Tap while jumping to boost your jump height. Note: I recommend you rebind your primary interact key to something else, like "r"
3: Tap or hold the walk-back key to flap your wings backward and slow down.
4: Using the momentum of your wings, you can deal extra damage when flying (150% increase).
5: Avians are skilled at using ranged weaponry. Your projectiles deal more damage (50% increase).
_Tutorial_
When first starting out as a hatchling Avian, it is recommended to start out only using the 'jump key' to fly at high speeds and tapping the 'primary-interact' key separately for slow-speed flights. Once you feel comfortable pressing the keys separately, I recommend you find two large trees or pillars that are a short distance apart. Try using both forward and vertical wing flaps to fly slowly from one tree to another. Note that all keys can be pressed at the same time. (Hint: Press and hold the sneak key while landing to "grab" hold of a single block.) If you find yourself moving too fast, you can press and hold the 'move backward' key to flap backward and slow down, or just spin around really fast.
To use your aerial-combatant ability efficiently, use a weapon that deals heavy damage at the cost of a high cooldown, like an axe, and swoop down from an angle to deal massive damage. (Hint: You should be completely horizontal before using your weapon, or you will hit the ground and promptly delete yourself from existence.)
As an Avian, you will be strong against Enderians and weak against Arachnids
*Note, this is a new origin you pick. It should not override elytrians or avians
RECOMMENDED MODS:
FreeLook: for viewing the ground while flying
Soarin': fabric only adds thermals to the game
BetterTrees datapack: Makes Minecraft trees big enough to walk and fly under
Tan's Huge Trees: Generates even bigger trees than better trees, but is laggy unless you pregen everything
My other Advanced Origins: Avians, Arachnids, Enderians
This Origin is much stronger than the default Origins and is balanced with the other Origins in my "Advanced Origins" series. However, that is more of a coincidence because I don't care if the origins are unbalanced, as this is more about role-play and just having fun as a cool creature.
You may use the code in this data pack as long as you credit me (UAVwaffle)
