Aspects

Most Odenis individuals have a connection to one or more "aspects", which may influence their temperament, powers, strengths and weaknesses. The aspect of an Odenis is up to its owner's discretion, as part of their personal world-building.

Aspects can be anything ranging from typical elements (fire, ice, lightning...) to abstract concepts (balance, time, death, madness...). 

Examples of possible aspects:

• fire, lava, ash

• water, rain, snow, ice

• earth, sand, oil, metal

• lightning, wind, cloud

• wood, flora, fauna, nature

• light, dark, sun, moon

• dream, nightmare, illusion

• balance, life, death, fate

• poison, blood, ghost

• time, space, gravity

• art, music, beauty

• war, starvation, greed

• love, melancholy, madness

• ...

Life cycle

Odenis are ovoviviparous, which means they produce eggs that hatch within the parent's body, making it look like they give birth like mammals; although they don't produce milk. They usually give birth to 1 or 2 cubs at once. 

Newborn Odenis have no fur nor feathers, only soft scales and skin. After a couple weeks, they suddenly get very fuzzy, a soft puppy coat quickly covering their skin, and feathers start to grow as well. They shed their puppy coat at a couple month's age, and start learning to fly around the same period.

An Odenis can live for hundreds of years.
