Homebrew Astralborn Species Details
Astralborn, also known as starskins, are the result of many different things. Some are simply born on the astral plane to parents of more common races, others are experiments created by careless wizards. Little beyond this is known of how they came into being. They have emotions, but fail to understand them among others. They themselves can feel and have emotions, but are unempathetic to others, and are only concerned when they or their friends are put at risk. They typically seek to serve themselves and only themselves, but are willing to help others if they feel it would benefit them.
Due to their nature, they lack defining sexual characteristics, though their bodies are usually more akin to a woman or a man rather than entirely androgynous, and they are seen by others accordingly. Their skin usually takes the patterns and colours of the night sky or the beautiful vibrancy of a nebula, hence where the nickname "starskin" comes from. Their hair is a silvery white in colour, and appears to be constantly flowing as if in the void of space with no gravity to keep it down.
