**Origin**
Glass angels, also called plants as they are often used as power
supplies, are creatures born from science, created by scientists of the
lightning flight early on in this flight's history to make living in the
 harsh desert environment of the shifting expanse, and other otherwise
uninhabitable places throughout the world possible. Their name comes
from their angel-like appearence and the enclosures they are contained
in, which are made from very thick, reinforced glass. For some strange,
unknown reason, it was discovered that glass can insulate their powers
from the world outside and keep it contained. The technology that created these creatures has long since been lost and forgotten.

**Life span**
No-one knows how long a Glass angel's natural life span would be if
their powers weren't used, using up their powers shortens their life
span, however what is known is that they live much longer, maybe even several lifetimes longer than a regular dragon if maintained properly.
It may be possible for them to live forever if they don't use all their
power up.

**Abilities**
Even though Glass angels are living, breathing things much like normal
dragons, they are classed as a kind of technology and treated as such
instead of a living thing. No-one really knows the true extent of their powers, but when synched up to a computer, they can be programmed to
produce all manner of things, such as water and electricity out of
nothing, but most of what a glass angel is capable of producing depends
 on their element, however some elements are special in that a Glass
angel of one of those particular elements can produce pretty much
anything, but they are rare. All Glass angels, regardless of element, can be used as a power source.

**Variants:**
There are three variants of Glass angel. Awakened, exhausted and degrading.

**Awakened variant:**
Awakened is the standard, or common variant.

Skydancer

**Flight:**
Any, but lightning, water and nature is most common

**Primary:**
Platinum crystal or iridescent/ Lavender iridescent

**Secondary:**
Maize or white shimmer

**Tertiary**
white, ice or maize glimmer, underbelly, smoke or basic
(If tert is ice, smoke, underbelly or basic genes only)

**Exhausted variant:**
As a glass angel's power is used, it's mane and wings start to turn
black, this is a built in safety feature to prevent them from becoming independant and running amok. An indepentant individual could be a massive threat if it turns on it's creators or unleashes it's powers. The more life energy that is used, the more the mane and wings change colour. A Glass angel with a completely black mane and wings has used up
 all of it's power and is nearing the end of it's life, it's body will start to degrade and eventually die.

Skydancer

**Flight:**
Any, but lightning, water and nature is most common

**Primary:**
Platinum crystal or iridescent/ Lavender iridescent

**Secondary:**
obsidian, black, coal or charcoal shimmer

**Tertiary**
white, ice or maize glimmer, underbelly, smoke or basic
(If tert is ice, smoke, underbelly or basic genes only)

**Degrading variant**
Degrading Glass angels' scales and feathers have lost their natural shine and their dull hide begins to crack and flake away, revealing the sickly glow of it's tiny reserve of remaining elemental energy pulsating within. Once they reach this stage, they have a very short time to live, a few days to a couple of weeks at the most.
