General Physical Description & Biology

The Starkin are so named for their luminescent quality. Their skin emanates starlight, making them look like they are surrounded by light. Their skin is either midnight black skin as though the void behind the stars in the case of Nightkin and some Starkin, fiery orange yellow skin as though from the heart of a sun which stars are, or brilliant white skin though this might be a birth defect or the cause of too much starlight buildup. The eyes are large, luminous pools of mercury light, with pinpricks of bright white in the center, or bright white with mercury gleams. They shine brightly. Their hair can range from a multitude of colors and styles. The color and style of the hair usually reflects on the class of star kin. The only colors not seen have been black, blue and green. Nightkin tend to darker, richer colors of hair. The starkin children grow wings slowly over the ages of babyhood to fourteen. At fourteen, they are able to fly. These wings are then also able to be slipped away again into a tattoo upon the starkins back. The wings are gauzy and gossamer like. They are diaphanous and can be any color, with a starburst in the center which seems to be trying to escape from the wings. Nightkin tend to have darker wings, but are similarly diaphanous, usually with swirling deep colors like those of a cosmic nebulae.

Basic Personality

The starkin are an honorable lot, seeing it as their duty to protect their young ones. Thus, there is rarely a star kin who won’t see a young one of another race whom he or she will not wish to be kind to and look out for. Starkin are proud folk, but do not see it as lowering themselves when they talk to someone from a different race. They are usually quite kind and caring. Nightkin are similar, but tend to be a little more pragmatic.

Origin and Lore

Starkin and Nightkin came from Rethia as that world was being destroyed, only to be saved by Stainiku. With the land, came the Starkin and Nightkin, born from the astral cosmos. With Rethia gone again, they are few and far between, some settling into small villages as refugees, especially in the Kri'Xina Empire where they have been welcomed.

Naming Convention

They like to choose names after celestial bodies or the meanings of the different stars and constellations.

Preferred Habitat

Starkin prefer to live in a forested or verdant habitat, in houses built by their own hands. Some are cabin like structures, while others are tree houses. Nightkin generally prefer more urban living of cities.

Society Structure

In Rethia, the Starkin lived in one clan made up with several families. They go to the chief when there is trouble. Sometimes the chief holds a war council when invaders roam the forested veil the starkin prefer to live in. Now that Rethia is gone and their numbers are scattered, they are doing their best to blend into the Societies they find themselves in.
