Homebrew Fallen Star- Arn Species Details
Stardust
When stars die, or a part of a star dies, the energy inside of them burns so hot they turn to dust, blowing away with the wind. When the Star loses part of it's body, be it hair or a limb, it turns to dust.
The Fall
Stars fall from the skies for a variety of reasons, some of these being the undeniable wanderlust they hold, the desire to see and interact with the beings they have watched over for years; wanting to live the lives they have guided and seen come to and end. Some stars have fallen to the earth below as they were dragged from the sky by a mage or magic users for reasons unknown to history. Some yet were cast away from their home due to disagreements, fights, or their chaotic hot burning energy.
Appearance
Fallen Stars are typically blonde humanoids, who look similar to Humans over any other race. They have light colored eyes and skin, though their skin can vary from a purple or gray tint, to a regular human skin tone. These beings are typically as lithe as Elves, elegant in appearance, seeming to radiate light from your core.
The Stars
Remote yet familiar, stars have fascinated people throughout history and are part of many myths and legends. Although the sun and the moon usually have the leading roles in mythology, often appearing as deities, the stars also appear in many stories. In some cultures, the stars represent part of the cosmos, such as the heavens or the home of the gods, or a path between the earth and another world.

To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait’s range. You can give this ability to only one creature at a time; giving it to a creature takes it away from another creature who has it.
