Starborn

Physical Description

Starborns are indistinguishable from humans in terms of their appearance; their physiology and DNA, however, couldn't be any more different. Starborns are hard to study and detect because their DNA is so complex that science is not advanced enough to decipher it, and only powerful magic users can detect their race. The cellular structure of a starborn allows for solar energy to be absorbed in extremely high levels, giving them a multitude of strengths.

Starborns have a physical appearance considered strong if any other races were to see them; they have a naturally chiseled and muscular physique because the stars themselves crafted their own bodies. In addition, they are tall with bright shining eyes and pale skin. If they were to come to other planets they would greet the other races with respect and admiration immediately and often mediate and calm any disagreements.

History

Starborns were quite literally born from the stars. They were created in the rare instance that stars clash together and after that would occur they would then jet off to the far planet known as Staron, which holds very powerful solar energy. After the initial births of the starborn, most of the population was then created from intercourse between the two genders, but the ones who are born from the pure stars are highly worshiped and in turn, adopted as quickly as they land.

Society

Not much is known about the starborns since it's quite a difficult place to get research about, let alone actually finding it.

The most known by the strongest mages is that some live in the wilderness, while others live in the high society with advanced inventions.

Starborn Traits

Starborns have many traits that vary depending on the size of the stars that collided.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution scores each increase by 2.
Age. Starborns reach adulthood faster than humans at around the age of 16. They can live to ages close to 5000 and tend to keep peak physical form and fitness until 4980.
Alignment. Starborns tend towards a good or lawful good alignment, however, their tendency towards freedom can lead them towards an evil alignment even with a number of intentions.
Size. Starborns are often around 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Trance. Starborn don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply,remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Star Durability. Instead of a 10 + Dex for your AC it is now 12 + Dex or 2 plus your armor's ac. Also when you are dropped to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Star Nature. Pure Starborn no longer need to breathe due to being born from stars. Also they have resistance to frost or fire damage due to flying through space and falling onto the planet. The nature of their magical birth also gives them the ability to cast one cantrip. Pick 1 cantrip from message,ray of frost, guidance, firebolt, mage hand, and light
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and Starborn. Starborn is a strange sounding but still strong and heavily pronounced language that uses the Primordial script.
