Gender: male
Occupation: traveler, fugitive, almost graduated at the University of Urilia
Who are they?:
Starling is an upbeat and joke loving boa who might seem like he's the stupidest thing in the galaxy sometimes, but that can just mostly be blamed on the fact that he has trouble expressing himself with words.
He had a decent childhood, though he had a lot of speech issues while growing up, which lead to him not talking much, but still being an active, trick-loving boa.
He absolutely loves jokes, puns, and tricks regardless of it being pulled on him or him playing a joke on someone else.
Starling can be quite an ignorant mess sometimes, though; he can get so focused on the details that he fails to see the whole picture, which often leads to bad endings.
Background:
Ex-student of the University of Urilia, Starling is a boa that was known for his trickster-like nature; always planning jokes in secret, he was basically called "the quiet jester" by the whole university. His teachers were always amused by how well planned his tricks and jokes were, yet how lazy and careless he was when it came to studying or his own safety.
In reality though, Starling just has trouble learning things the old fashioned "sit down and read/listen" way. He did well in middle school, not so well in high school, and now even he's amazed at how he managed to get into university. He struggled for a month, then he just decided to give up and stop trying.
Trivia:

- Starling came from a planet called Routurn. Instead of days, they say "turns", which lasts from noon to noon.
- When they say "Holdo'ra has blessed me.", they mean that something bad has happened to them.
- Their days of the week are Firturn, Secturn, Thirturn, Forturn, Fifturn, Solturn and Lunturn.
Their belief system revolves around three entities: one representing their Sun, and the two others representing their two moons. They believe that while the Entity of the Sun, Sola'aya, gives them warmth, created life and the two other entities, the entities of the two moons, Luns'us and Holdo'ra. Those two are responsible for everything else. They say Sola'aya blessed them with the power of creating everything that isn't a living being.
They regard Luns'us as the bringer of happiness and good luck, creator of water, air, and everything harmless, while they regard Holdo'ra as the creator lf everything harmful and bad, the bringer of misfortune.
His home city, Urilia, is the capital of their "country". Out of all the capitals, this and another city, Alarana, are the most advanced cities there, with them also being the most populated ones in the "country".
Urilia, like other cities of this planet, is lead by a "chief" and her two advisers. Chiefs are not allowed to listen to anyone else but their adverseries; there can be as many adverseries as a chief wants, but their numbers usually don't go above three or four. Adverseries are the ones who listen to the people and communicate their needs and suggestions to the chief.

- Where do they live?:
Although he travels a lot, Starling has a few spots in the galaxy that are yet to be discovered by authority. Those places are on different planets or space stations, and as long as he doesn't raise any suspicion, he's good to go. But out of all, there's one place he feels more at home than the others: at the edge of his galaxy, there's a little inn called The Lucky Moon. He knows the owner and though he'd never admit it to him, Starling sees the guy like the father he never had. And the owner's son and daughter are good friends of his as well.

- The rings around his body are from ancient times. They are regarded as gifts from the three Entities given to the first civilization on the planet. People say they're sacred objects that are hard to master.
- It's unkown how the rings got to Routurn, but on the planet they came from, there are two others like them: one that's like the sun, and the other that's like the moon. They aren't rare at all there, and those who use the star rings are called "Shooting stars"; this is because of their ability to travel fast from one place to another.
Legend says that when the time is right and the people need it the most, a so called 'hero' will rise and use the rings to defeat a dark being they call Nad'ya Ni who is said to bring the destruction of their planet when it awakens from its slumber.
With them, you can travel from place to place, but they need time to recharge. The longer distance one travels, the longer it takes for them to recharge.
These rings are usually warm to the touch, but they react to the wearer/user's emotions (e.g. glow brighter when happy, get extremely hot when furious, lukewarm and pulsating when in love, etc.).
Urilia kept all the three rings on his small planet safe. They were supposed to be kept safe until the 'hero' the prophecy tells about comes, but Starling managed to get a hold of them while everyone was distracted by a power outage caused by him. Now, he travels the galaxy, going where the cosmic winds take him, maybe saving someone here or starting a rebellion there, whatever he feels like doing at the moment.

- Funny how despite being the worst student in his entire school, ever since he started traveling Starling has learned a LOT. Now, he's basically able to understand a number of different alien languages (even if he can't speak them very well), has a basic understanding of how ships work and can even fix minor problems with them, he learned a lot about different flora and fauna (both from being told to be careful with this-and-that, and from making poor decisions, of course), he became quite good at navigating, and of course he learned different constellations to be able to tell where he exactly is, even if he doesn't know what they call them!
