== Description ==
FlashWings are usually thin and have long tails.
They eat a steady diet of protein-filled fish, and most of them are fairly fit and muscular.
Their wings are large and have thick scales on the backs that protect from harm. They can also rotate their wings 180 degrees, and occasionally use them to shield themselves.
FlashWings have jagged sails running from their heads, down their necks and backs, ending at the tips of their tails, where there is a pointed spike. This spike sends painful/jarring electric jolts through any dragons or living things it strikes.
Their scleras are jet black, giving their eyes an unsettling appearance. Their irises are usually bright blue, but can be yellow, turquoise, or rarely silver.
FlashWings scale colors are usually grayscale, but can be colors of metals, such as silver, copper, titanium, iron, or rarely gold. Their underscales and wings are usually bright blues, but can be yellow or even purplish. On their wings are patterns resembling lightning or veins, that glow. The backs of their wings are typically the same color as their scales.
FlashWings have long horns that curve back slightly, similar to a SandWing’s. These horns are typically black, but can be grayscale, blue, or metallic colors.
All FlashWings wear copper necklaces on a thin chain with their name and a number branded onto it for identification and to keep track of the population. It is common for FlashWings to coat their claws in metals such as copper, or gold. Tattoos are also a thing, if uncommon, and typical tattoos include lightning, hawks, or storm clouds.
Royal FlashWings, instead of blue or yellow lightning patterns on their wings, have patterns of bright orange. They are the only FlashWings that can naturally have orange wing patterns.
== Abilities ==
FlashWings breathe out a plume of lightning, which can be used to shock enemies. The tips of their tails have a hard yet dull spike on the end, which sends electric shocks through those it touches. These shocks are often uncomfortable, even painful, but rarely fatal unless the tail spike hits directly over the heart.
FlashWings are good fliers, though not as good as SkyWings. They are also fast on the ground and have quick reflexes.
FlashWings have the Animus gene, however it is extremely rare.
=== Lightningscales ===
Lightningscales are similar to firescales in the SkyWing tribe. They are rare dragons hatched with scales that electrify anything they come in contact with, shocking any dragons who touch them to a potentially fatal extreme. 
Adding to that, their tail spikes are fatal, and usually enclosed in a sheath made of wood, titanium, or bismuth.
Lightningscales occur when the egg of the dragon is struck by lightning before hatching, however, they can occur naturally too.
== Territory ==
FlashWings live on a mountainous island off the west coast of the Sky Kingdom. 
Though surrounded by water, FlashWings do not usually swim. The oceans surrounding their island are icy cold and turbulent. 
It is very rainy and windy in their kingdom. 
== History ==
W.I.P
== Culture ==
=== Hatching ===
FlashWing eggs are kept on the tops of large pillars, stretching towards the sky, similar to how NightWings hatch. Each pillar holds one egg, and attached to each pillar is a copper plaque with their identification number and parents’ names branded onto it. Guards patrol the Hatching Pillars night and day to make sure the eggs are safe, and to alert parents whenever one hatches.
=== Hybrids ===
FlashWings generally frown on hybrids, as they think that FlashWings by themselves are already excellent. FlashWings don’t have a significant number of interactions with other tribes, making hybrids rare.
=== Architecture ===
FlashWing buildings are made of stone and metal, mostly, as wood is rare on their island. Usually, buildings are tall, with pointed roofs and spires. Beauty in architecture is prized in the FlashWing Kingdom, and intricately carved walls and pillars are common in families of wealth.
=== Cuisine ===
FlashWings enjoy a variety of fish, and often show distaste for fruit. The overall most common food is birds of prey, as well as seabirds. 
Generally, FlashWings just eat their meat raw, though some prefer it charred. There are several restaurants on the FlashWing’s island, and common dishes include charred salmon with lemon, raw seagull (featherless) served with mashed potatoes, and reindeer leg.
There are some larger mammals on the island, including goat, reindeer, and deer. These are also consumed, though are not considered as healthy or tasty.

== Government ==
FlashWings are a stratocracy-monarchy. They are ruled by a queen, who is advised by three Chief Generals. These Generals lead the three branches of the army. Under the Chief Generals are an array of lesser ranks. 
There is a written law that limits the power of the queen slightly, however she has the ability to override this in times of war, or when all of the Generals vote in favor.
== Royal Family ==
The current royal family.
=== Queen Bolt ===
Queen Bolt has iron-gray scales, and bright yellow wings, with golden underscales. Bolt is a very energetic dragon, and gets many things done, and quickly. She is commanding, intimidating, and doesn’t have time for silly things like recreational activities.
