This is a currently a closed species, you don't have permission to make your own

Okay so, you guys might remember the polls I made a while back introducing these guys? It's fine if you haven't, I have a revised description for them here anyways, but I can link the older polls if you'd like!

General

• Intelligent race with dragon ancestry
• Live high up in the mountains where magic is thick in the air, they feed off of this magic. The kind of magic they consume depends on the family they belong to.
• They can vary greatly in size and general appearance, but they generally have racoon-like bodies and paws; long, thin necks; and thick tails and "wings". They usually have an area of short or absence of fur underneath their wings, tail, underbelly, and hind legs. This area is theorized to have magic-repelling properties that allows them to slide in the air by repelling the magic present in it, which would explain how they can fly with fat flesh flaps they try to call wings.
• Their tongues are long and striped, and have a hole a the end! They suck in magic or potions through their tongue. Their 4 remaining teeth are remnants of their dragon ancestry, they can still deliver a painful bite.
• Every sipper has a kind of magic called 'glamour' which allows them to change themselves physically to some extent. Any sipper has the ability to 'hide' their wings by using their glamour, and also to make little patterns or markings on themselves to give them a sense of individuality, but some hi-sippers have mastered this magic to the point that they can transform into completely different creatures (such as humans).
• It is important to note that a sipper's glamour as well as it's blood, inner-flesh, and irises will all reflect the color that is associated with the magic they consume.

Social

• Families are separated by what kind of magic they consume. All families can be grouped together in three distinct groups: Good magic, which is magic that positively effects what is being cast on (healing, buffs); Evil magic, which is magic that negatively effects what is being cast cast on (debuffs, curses); and Neutral magic (time altering, elemental, gravity, location warping). Their race has a very strong understanding of the balance of good and evil, it is not uncommon at all for members to seek romantic partnerships with members of a different alignment, they feel that they complete each other.
• A family of sippers is called a 'house' which is ruled by a hi-potion sipper, and although a house may have multiple hi-sippers, only one will be the lead. Houses are separated by a certain magic and are named after the house ruler, for example: House of Lux would be the family that feeds on magic of health-regeneration, including magics such as cure and regen. -A sipper can reach the hi-sipper status if it can learn to store vast amounts of magic by crystallizing it outside of it's body, which can take the form of horns, halos, antlers, ect though this is an extremely hard skill to learn, and not every sipper has the genetics that allows it to do so. Unlike most sippers who feed on a general type of magic, hi-sippers usually feed on very specific spells, such as Lux, Haste, and Shell.

Story
Potion sippers were given their name because of their fondness of potions, it's pre-concentrated magic for them to consume?! They go crazy for it, but can be mistaken as pests by people ignorant of their sentience and can get into dangerous situations that way. These days they are still an uncommon sight in urban areas, but their presence is growing and they are slowly becoming integrated into society. A sipper can take on any job it wishes, but they are most suited for magic-oriented jobs and aren't usually very suited for jobs that require physical strength (although they can through some effort). It is a sipper's dream to become a hi-sipper, so you will often find sippers that are trying to peruse that dream by seeking the spell that they are genetically compatible with. They will even hold onto this dream when they are not physically suitable to become a hi-sipper. They wear class-specific outfits.

OTHER IDEAS
So I was thinking that I might make this a semi-open species, allowing people to make regular sippers for themselves, but keeping the hi-sippers as an option exclusively for people who buy them as designs from me. They wouldn't be open ALL THE TIME as that would stress me out super quickly though. Thoughts??
