Mirkara
I was starstruck. The.. explosion of iridescence, it was as if I
was experiencing the birth of a galaxy. I still cannot describe
the serenity, the eloquence. The Mirkaran, still partially in its
nebulous form looked right through me; an expressionless,
blank stare. I was not sure whether to be scared or excited.
   - Kelroy, On the Intricacies of Starborn
Mirkaran, known commonly as Starborn, are the human-
like descendants of celestial and primordial half-breeds. They
are the personification of the cosmos, armed with the power
to cause supernovas at their whim. While they may seem
undeniable in their power, many choose not to flaunt. Their
culture dictates that power is not without consequnce and
that understanding and protecting the balance of the world is
of upmost importance. Though, they are, at the most basic of
levels, chaotic beings; an untold nebulae of power rests
within their veins.
They are a society of nomads, tending to travel naturally
toward celestial events. Mirkaran birth begins here; forming
like a chrysalis of moonlight during major events such as
eclipses, soltices, shooting stars, or meteor showers. They
gain their power and their essence through this, becoming
keepers of knowledge and wanderers of the planes. And, as if
by instinct, they understand where and when these
prominent events happen, always ready to accept a newborn
into their society.
Wanderers
Throughout their adolescence Mirkaran have little control
over their abilities, causing explosions and releasing the void
within at the littlest of emotionality. From a young age, the
power bestowed by the celestial event that caused their birth
begins to manifest. The power gained is situational; if one is
born under an eclipse, they may acquire the talent of stealth,
or one born under a meteor shower may gain a knack for
quick thinking.
Beyond this power, many young Mirkaran are filled with a
dutiful sense of needing to perserve the world, whether by
maintaining the structure of the weave, becoming a collector
of knowledge, or charting the unknowns. However, it is not
uncommon for one born under a shifting constellation to be
touched with a chaotic nature, seeking to test and manipulate
the world around them. Mirkaran society tends not to
encourage such behavior, however they view it as a necessary
'evil', something natural.
Keepers
The Mirkaran soceity is one with many leniencies, if an
action follows their code of conduct that of which revolves
around being keepers of the realms, they do not mind.
Hierarchy is near non-existant, with the exception of the
chief. Regarding situations that require a tactical mind, they
preside over the dicussions and decisions, such as how to
navigate particularly frigid winters.
However, one must still contribute and aid the rest of their
people. Many occupations are avaiable in doing so, such as
the guard, librarians, apothecaries, and mages. Each equally
important as the rest if their socieity is to survive.
Physical Appearance
Mirkaran have a very human-like visage; they are bipedal,
stand between 5 and 6 feet tall, and weigh some 150lbs on
average. There are, however certain characteristics that
denote a Mirkara. A blank, vacant stare, due to their
pigmentless eyes, ghastly ivory or deep ebony textured
patches of skin, and most distinctive: a subtle, shifting
corporeal nature; many Mirkaran fail to have full control over
the corporeal form, so with closer inspection, one can notice
a shifting, ethereal nature to a Mirkaran, with slight inky,
nebulous gas leaking through their crevaces.
Mirkaran Names
Mirkaran tend to adopt the name of constellations they are
born under, regardless of the celestial event that gave them
life, as such gender differences are inconsequential.
Mirkaran Names: Correlian, Faeraula, Auroth, At'ar, Kor,
Selan, Bala, Hakiyah, Jauhar.
