Glass Kitten

**Debut** | TBA

**Glass Kitten** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Sieohtoo from the planet Ohneeonzetafelhijiskapot.

## Appearance

Glass Kitten is a long cat-like alien with a body completely compromised out of fluctuating molten glass, appearing as a bright yellow gradient that darkens the further down it goes with a soft orange glow surrounding him. Glass Kitten has a stout head that seemingly lacks a neck, pointed ears, large dark eyes with red oval-shaped pupils, extremely stubby legs, and a long tail that stands upright.

Glass Kitten wears the Simplicitrix on his nose.

## Powers

* Glass Kitten can generate and release dangerously hot molten glass, which he typically launches from the tip of his tail through pressurizing it with air and expanding it into spherical orbs similar to a glassblowing pipe, which he then dislodges and launches off as amorphous projectiles that can incinerate anything that they touch.
* Glass Kitten can superheat his surroundings in order to trigger immediate combustion, melt certain materials, and fully ward off opponents who are more vulnerable towards extreme heat.
* Glass Kitten can absorb glass from within the environment to increase his size and regenerate from injuries.
* Glass Kitten can manipulate the fragility of objects and individuals should they meet eyes with one another through any sort of translucent glass surface, either causing them to automatically shatter apart into a million fragments as if they were made from glass, or making them as hard and indestructible as bulletproof glass. Regarding objects, Glass Kitten only has to see them through glass to manipulate them.
* Glass Kitten has enhanced flexibility and a prehensile tail thanks to his molten state.

## Weaknesses

* Glass Kitten's molten glass sits at around 1400-1700°C, making it an extremely dangerous substance for anyone he wishes not to harm.
* Glass Kitten's molten glass form can be frozen through an extreme flash of cold temperatures, leaving him temporarily trapped within an shell of cooled glass that completely restricts his mobility until he can break it off, while passively existing within cold environments also weakens Glass Kitten's abilities overtime.
* Glass Kitten's environmental superheating requires concentration to maintain higher temperatures, while also risking permanent damage to certain materials.
* Glass Kitten's fragility manipulation can only activate whenever him and someone else have locked eyes with one another through a glass surface, such as a mirror or a window, meaning even if the specific criteria are met, if the other can shatter the glass fast enough, Glass Kitten will lose the opportunity.
* Glass Kitten has a habit of coughing up "hairballs" made from volcanic ash, caused by him swallowing inedible materials.

## Etymology

* Glass Kitten's name is a play on "glass cannon," referring to the trope of a character with strong offenses but very weak defenses, and "kitten."
* Glass Kitten's species name is a play on the pronunciation of "CO2," or carbon dioxide, as well as having origins in "SiO2," silicon dioxide, which is prevalently found in quartz and sand, hence the relevance to glass.
* Glass Kitten's planet name is the Dutch translation of "oh no, our table, it's broken," a reference to the 2016 viral video about a kid playing a game of brick Jenga on a glass table, which ends with obvious results.

## Trivia

* Glass Kitten's design was made using one of Nyancy Chan's cats from *Omniverse*.
* Glass Kitten was based off the original concept of Damage Control, who was named Shatterproof and had the power of destructibility manipulation.
* Glass Kitten's fragility manipulation was inspired by Prince Rupert's drops, which are toughened glass beads created through dripping molten glass into cold water, resulting in a large droplet shape with unique preporties because of its very high residual stresses, as although one can relentlessly beat the bulbous end with a hammer and not cause any breakage, the slightest damage to the thinner end will cause explosive disintegration.
	+ Glass Kitten was also tentatively named Prince Rupert until he was properly named by Blake.
	+ Prince Rupert's drops can also be referred to as "Dutch tears," referenced with the Dutch translation of Glass Kitten's planet name.
