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.

In Depth Guide

Postby kiwipen » Sun Jul 09, 2017 6:30 am

What makes a Starshine 'unique'?

There are three things that identifies a starshine:


  • Their sparkling eyes, paws, and noses (and tongues!) --- they leave a trail of stardust behind them as they move.
  • Their charm, a special object of any shape that matches the color of their sparkling flesh and eyes.
  • Their Accessory, a special scrap of fabric that is handmade by the Starshine.

Design Limits --- Sparkle


    The flesh or the 'Sparkle' of a Starshine is allowed to be ANY COLOR, including multicolored! That means that any Starshine can have any kind of Sparkle they desire.

Design Limits --- Charm


    The Charm of a Starshine is allowed to be any shape as long as there is one of them. Stars, circles, clubs, the sky's the limit with Charms! However, multiple Charms is a rarity, and not allowed in normal Starshines.

Design Limits --- Fabric Accessory


[list]The Accessory of a Starshine is a special scrap of fabric that Starshines make in a rite of passage into adulthood. They spend days, weeks, or even months working on this until it fully and completely expresses who they are. Therefore, there are no hard design limits on the scrap of fabric itself.

However, the placement / type of fabric / clothing it expresses as DOES matter, so while any Accessory can have any pattern, the placement on the body is very important. Most Starshines keep their Accessories close to their heart, so cloaks, bandanas, and collars are common. However, the further away the Accessory is, the rarer it is.

A Fabric Accessory must be;;:
Fabric
It must have a pattern on it that isn't just a gradient.

Fabric is defined as something that is cotton, silk, flannel, etc.
It cannot be ;;; Fur, 'fake' fabrics (such as cobwebs, fire, water, etc.)

Additionally, almost all Starshines have ONE Accessory --- only a rare few Starshines have multiple Accessories. Even then, the Accessories have the same pattern on it, there are just many Accessories.
