Homebrew Dreamchild Species Details

To never feel quite at ease in the waking realm and hop between reality and dreams is the fate of a dreamchild. Born out of wishes and stars, they are haunted by the unfulfilled dreams of their parent. Dreamchildren try to find a place in this world, but due to their connections with the Quori and dream realm, they never find a place to ground them. They attach easily to groups of people, but with their yearn for adventure will also leave when they get bored. They see the world as their playing field and do not think death will catch on with them. 

Bound to the stars

Dreamchildren come from humans and are only born if a mother has wished for a child under a fallen star with a full moon present. They are not common in the world and therefore this ritual is often performed accidentally. Once the wish has been spoken into the world, the fallen star will attach itself to the wish and a child is created. The star is a spirit, much like the Quori, whom never got to fulfil its fullest potential of the spirit realm and are therefore confused when they get attached to the human child.
Dreamchildren look very much still like humans, however their spirit counterpart has taken an imprint on their appearance. Their skin tone ranges from every human skin tone, but they have white spots on their body. Their hair is often white or silver and their eyes can be black, white or purple. 

Dreamchildren can directly talk to the spirit within them both telepathically and verbally.This connection grants dreamchildren minor psionic abilities, as well as protection from psychic attacks. However, due to the split spirit, a coin is to be rolled to see if the human or the spirit catches the damage.

Your DM will be able to portray the spirit within you if you wish, but discuss with them how the relationship between the spirit and you currently is.

They age slower than humans and are often still perceived childlike due to their chaotic and free-spirited nature. 

Irrational and care-free

Dreamchildren are barely found in the world due to their difficulty of creation. A dream child could go its entire life without finding another one of their race, therefore the undertanding of themselves is very difficult. They easily attach themselves to other groups of people due to their ability to adjust, but find emotional bounds difficult to make. They have a longing for adventure because they have been to the dream realm so often, and will get bored quite often.
The spirit within them does not see danger as a reality, so the human part has to control them in order to remain safe. 

Names

Since dreamchildren are born into human families, they start off with a human name. However, due to their traveling and adventurous nature, they don’t feel a connection to it. They then give themselves names that they feel will fit their personality. These names can be picked up from another person they liked, a mythological figure or their favorite earthly thing.

INTERNAL CONFLICT

The dream spirit will take their human counterpart on the most amazing adventures in the dream realm, giving them no interest in the real world. However, the older a dream child grows, the more conflict can concur inside their mind. They might want to explore the possibilities and people in the real world, whilst their spirit wants to hold their mind close. They also know of wishes and dreams of the people around them and could feel weak if they cannot help them.
