Anodite

Anodites are a race of sapient energy beings from the planet Anodyne.

Apperance
Anodites are beings of life energy, most commonly known as Mana. The entire body of an Anodite is a humanoid-shaped construct of pure, compressed Mana; a deep-dark purple color and long flowing tendrils of 'hair' are a bright pinkish purple glowing color.



The color of their mana is bright/light blue (in the original series) and many different shades of pink, magenta and fuschia and/with occasional shades of violet-purple mixed together. Only true female Anodites have been seen, it is unknown what true male Anodites look like.

Personality
Anodites are quite free-spirited and most don't take life as seriously as most humans do to the point that some disregard the morality of their actions and would rather satisfy their own personal pleasures, but that doesn't stop them from helping others, as Verdona mentions that Anodites help "scads of people."

Powers and Abilities


Anodites in human form can manipulate mana at a lesser degree than in their true forms for a variety of effects like energy manipulation, flight, telekinesis, object creation and dissipation, opening portals, repairing objects, elemental manipulation, telepathy, dowsing, memory manipulation and invisibility. In their true forms, and if they have fully mastered their abilities, they can warp reality, fly across space, transport themselves and others to other dimensions, create a body of their choice and are able to draw in the mana around them to replenish themselves if the need arises, such as when they're weakened. Anodites are technically immortal, able to change their age. The more mana an Anodite draws in, the more powerful that Anodite becomes. Anodite Gwen has also shown the power and ability to grow to giant size when she gets angry. It's unknown if Anodites can use this ability in their human forms.

It does, however, require about 75 years before an Anodite can fully master all of their powers and abilities. Using their full power without mastering their powers would result in them being overwhelmed by the power and forget about their life before they awaken the power (this almost happened to Gwen in War of the Worlds).

Reproduction
Anodites are able to reproduce with other species, like humans by assuming a human body (it is possible Anodites can breed with any species, so long as the Anodite takes the form of one).

If an Anodite reproduces with a human, there's no guarantee the offspring will inherit Anodite powers and abilities. Anodite powers and abilities (which Verdona refers to as "the spark") can also occur in children in later generations. Neither of Verdona's children inherited her Anodite powers and abilites, but her granddaughters did.

Trivia

 * The name Anodite comes from the Latin word "Anodyne" which means to relieve pain of the physical body.
 * Gwen's mother isn't very fond of Anodites (probably due to them being not being "normal"), which makes it hard for her to deal with her Anodite relatives (like Verdona & Sunny).
 * According to Dwayne, Anodites lack DNA and are not in the Codon Stream. Because of this, Ben, Gwen and their fathers are 100% human biologically, while are part Anodite through their life energy.
