Bluelight Dragon

Homeworld: Landrena, a O-type blue star in the Mahaga universe.

Climate/terrain: the outer parts of Landrena and other O-type suns.

Mental abilities: shaped by the enviroment in which they live, bluelight dragons can be said to be somewhat primal beings-- quite intelligent, but more likely to make decitions based on their rather volatile emotions rather than their intellect. They are also great lovers and collectors of anything beautiful, whether it's a piece of art, song, something of nature or something more intangible.

Special Abilities: not surprisingly, magical talents possessed by all bluelight dragons is pyromancy, electromancy and photomancy, but they are also gifted with less well known talents like magnetomancy, gyromancy and an odd form of hydromancy(their ability to manipulate hydrogen). Bluelight dragons does not have telepathy and only slight empathy, their language is a mix of visual-- through manipulation of light and the fire that streams through them, and sound created through manipulation of magnetism and electricity.

Society: at best, the society of the bluelight dragons is a loose one as they is a highly competitive species-- adult individuals rarely meeting except when to mate, and then only in neutral territory. Youngling bluelight dragons will spend a few years being cared for by their parent before they leave to join a nimbus(a group of bluelight dragons), in which they stay till maturity.
There are times when even adults can overcome their instincts and gather together however; examples being when there's unstable areas in a sun which needs correction, when external threats has to be dealt with or during migrations to other suns. It also occationally happens that a few adults will meet to exchange information or trade away valuable objects or pieces of art, although they prefer to do such things with other races.
In recent times, after contact with other races has become more common, it is not unusual for bluelight dragons to allow a few of the strongest younglings to live with other races at their homeworlds. Such younglings has already been extensively -*test*-('")ed and have proven themselves capable of surviving at planets(as well as controling the heat they emitt), although the long term effects of that are still uncertain.

Description: bluelight dragons appear as crystalline beings with streams of blue fire swirling through them-- sometimes just below the skin and at other times deep inside-- depending on their mood. Their eyes are large and usually oval-- being a dazzling golden or silver-gold color. Long and spindly of build, bluefiredragons resemble the eastern dragon, but they do have wings-- large and fragile-looking, but rarely noticed as they are completely colorless. The head of a bluefire dragon is long and narrow, bearing some resemblance with that of a heron, and a crown of eight slender horns grows from the back of the head, surrounded by feather-like scales which grows into a mane where the neck meets the head. At both sides of the head, right behind the corners of the mouth, grows a long, flexible tendril which is used by the dragon to measure the strenght of magnetic fields and gravity. Starting at the tip of the muzzle and running down the lenghts of the head and back is a row of delicate spines which grows taller towards the middle of the back before decreasing in height again, these spines are generally larger on the females than the males.
Bluelight dragons are mainly magnetovores, but they also feed on other elements in the O-type suns where they live, and if neccessary-- they may live off other types of suns(a couple of years at most before they have to find an O-type sun).
Specific Physical Statistics.
Size at birth: 3-4 meters long.
Size at maturity: 100-200 meters long.
Time to maturity: 90 years.
Natural lifespan: 900 years.

Combat: in their true, unrestrained forms, the mere presence of a sunflame dragon is deadly to most beings-- due to the heat and radiation they emitt. And this is an inate talent which they make good use of during combat, along with their other talents. However, most blueflame dragons feel most comfortable with fighting within their territory in the sun where they live; where they may make use of the forces of the sun, and they will often choose to flee rather than fight when in unfamiliar territory.
Still, there has been cases in the past where whole solar-systems has been left scorched and uninhabitable by the blueflame dragons after a feud with another race, although they are more likely to interact with other solar dwelling and hydrogen breathing races. Through history, a few lesser races has also been wiped out by the blueflame dragons, it is also believed that one or two starfaring races has been forced into enslavement after feuds in the past.

Race weaknesses: all blueflame dragons are surrounded by a field of energy which allows them to survive in the harsh enviroment of a sun and even at the surface of a planet, this field also protects them from the damage caused by mundane weapons. However, if the field is breached or severely weakened by illness or old age, a blueflame dragon may explode due to the forces contained within its body. Although it is a rare event as most blueflame dragons will dive for the core of the sun when feeling old age catch up with them, there has been a few occurances of one dying in such a way outside of a sun-- the resulting explosion being said to be in the range of a powerfull nuclear missile.
