Homebrew Glassing Species Details

Glassings are rare beings, born from abandoned temples, churches, and other places of worship that honored their deity through the art of stained glass. The exact process is unknown, no one has ever observed it, and the Glassings themselves don't remember. They are naturally curious, particularly about the arts, and skilled with magic. A Glassing will willingly integrate into the first culture or community that will accept it, though they will maintain a nostalgic attachment for their place of origin and will object strongly if it is threatened.

Physically, a Glassing is a humanoid shell, made of stained glass, with metal chains for hair. They have a basic male or female form, but no specific anatomy or facial features.  Glassings are translucent and hollow, casting colorful light instead of shadows. They enjoy this fact immensely and usually forgo clothing. Glassings are very light for their size and float in most liquids. Their form is hard and smooth, giving them some difficultly with climbing, catching objects, or other tasks that require friction.

Spiritually, a Glassing's shell houses the magical force that is its soul. A Glassing soul persists from sometime after its shell is destroyed.
