What are Starshines? wrote:Starshines are a species that sparkle and shine!
Observed in deep space, the species has been found to be sentient and very friendly towards others. Astrobiologists are calling for all interested persons to come forward and take care of some for further research.
The species seems to possess a special type of flesh which sparkles and shines. This effect is apparent in their eyes, noses, mouths, and pawpads, as well as a mysterious 'charm' which they wear on assorted fabrics adorning their bodies.
Species Guide wrote:Starshines are soft, fluffy creatures who are identified easily by their short stubby legs, fluffy chests, and of course, sparkling eyes, paws, and noses. They do not need oxygen to exist, capable of both space travel and underwater exploration easily in the same breadth. They eat a varying diet of fish and insects, choosing light meats when necessary. Despite this, they are omnivorous.
Their flesh is incredibly squishy and pokeable, making the species even more flexible than one might think. They are able to bend and contort their bodies as needed. They stand, at most, 6 inches or 15 cm tall. They have a variety of mutations that are all harmless, and merely serve to show off their identity.
Starshines are incredibly social creatures who, at their core, are obsessed with looks and hygiene. Starshines are capable of weaving and making their own fabrics, which they then design themselves to show off their unique personalities and tastes. Additionally, there is never a dirty Starshine, as they groom themselves when needed. Their fur is designed to not retain dirt, water, grime, or other pollutants that may tarnish a Starshine's coat.
Starshines are as intelligent as humans, capable of creating technology, forming deep platonic and romantic social bonds, and communciating with one another.
