First and foremost: What are starlets? Starlets are soul-bound weapons, blessed and gifted by the god Asterism themself, to their followers or the children of their followers. They compliment the person's personality and fighting style, and can be called upon, summoned, at any time out of thin air. Don't want to carry around the weapon anymore? You can un-summon the weapon, in which case it will dissolve into a small pile star dust until you call upon it again! Starlets CAN have magical abilities. In fact, I encourage it! Don't make them obviously overpowered or take away player agency and I'll allow almost anything. I'm pretty lax with the rule. Just remember that the power applies to the WEAPON. It's not an excuse to give your character water bending <3 please ask if you have any questions! I know these projects aren't the most comprehensive. The Original Three: Centuries ago four devout followers of Asterism received their blessing and a call to action: protect your own. Nightmares had seeped into the world and wreaked havoc for decades while the original four founded Silver Stars and grew it into what it is today. Those original three are Izan Ephemeris, Tabby Sidereal, and Seraph Quasar. Ephemeris: Ephemeris was previously the only bloodline able to enter the astral plane, with their unique ability to fall asleep and “dream” themselves into the astral plane, negating any injuries they may get while in the astral plane. Regarded as the Warriors of Silver Stars even now, regardless of the fact that anyone can enter the astral plane through gateways, they’re trained purely as an offense against nightmares or any threats against Silver Stars. Their starlets reflect this, and more often than not are designed to cause the most damage possible to nightmares. Zenith: Zenith is the newest bloodline, and formerly a lesser bloodline that grew large enough to be recognized by SS. Descendants of this bloodline often have two starlets rather than just one; one that manifests during early teenage years and another that manifests 5-15 years later, with the latter of the two being a weapon or something offensive, while the starlet that manifests later in life is usually more defensive, like a shield or a suit of armor. The founder of the bloodline, Cheval Zenith, is still alive and working with Silver Stars. Sidereal: Connected to Asterism moreso than anyone else, Sidereal descendants can have anything from foresight to visions from Asterism to directly interacting with them. Though not always, starlets are more inclined to be supportive or defensive. Like an endless roll of bandages with healing properties, or a shield or suit of armor. Before the rise of gateways, allowing anyone to venture into the astral plane, Sidereal descendants were trained to be prophets or doctors depending on their starlet and abilities. Quasar: All but banished from Silver Stars after Rosier Quasar's rebellion and subsequent incarceration, Quasar descendants are few and far between. But at the height of their existence they had some of the most powerful starlets anyone had ever seen. They were able to raise whole sites out of nothing, and open rifts to the astral plane in great displays of power. After centuries of mistreatment, Quasar descendants are slowly regaining their footing in Silver Stars and regaining rights lost so long ago despite the fear and hatred that still follows them. You CANNOT sign up as a quasar without first talking to ^-^" Lesser Bloodlines: Lesser bloodlines seem to be more and more common as time goes on. Individuals with no or little former ancestry who could summon a starlet. Individuals specifically blessed by Asterism. They have some of the most unique and powerful starlets of their time. Half-bloods: A descendant of two or more bloodlines, including lesser bloodlines. Unpredictable and frowned upon if only because of how potentially dangerous their starlets could become.
