Starborn

Starborn are wandering magic-users and scientists.

Personality

Starborn tend to be a little cool due to the simple fact that most seek to emulate their Creator in some way, also they tend to view the world as a laboratory in which to perform various experiments.

Starborn culture is ruled by reason first and foremost, however they are, as a whole, more accepting of other people, judging and their actions and ideas rather than their race.

Physical Description

Starborn stand around 6 feet tall and weighting about 121 lbs with females being slightly smaller and lighter than males. Male Starborn cannot grow beards and both, males and females, tend to have extremely long silver/gold hair. Starborn tend to have metallic colored iris. Starborn skin is the same color as the night sky and is covered with Star-like spots that mimic constellations. Starborn typically use advanced technology (unless performing experiments requiring lower tech gear).

Relations

Starborn Get along well with most races, however they are reserved and wary around cruel and malevolent races, due to tendency to judge people on actions and ideas rather than origin.

Alignment

Starborn prefer neutrality due to their scientific nature.

Lands

Starborn are comfortable in most places, some older starborn are even know to live in stars and the empty places between galaxies. Starborn hail from the Planet Indunius which is also the home of their creator Erreun.

Religion

Almost all Starborn worship at lest one of the gods of the starborn Pantheon or the entire pantheon with the exception of the Mad God Dorjan.

Language

Starborn Speak Common, Starborn (a unique language based on magical writing and scientific jargon), and many addition languages picked up during interaction with others (including secret languages such as Druidic).

Names

Starborn often name their children after people of other races that they are impressed by, however upon reaching adulthood some Starborn chose to take a different name that suits them, making John just as likely a name as Gliblik.
