Starfallen Racial Features
When these elves are born, there are two Scribes that attend; a regular Scribe and a Nightgazer. One oversees the birth of the child (the Scribe), while the other watches the night sky from dusk to dawn (the Nightgazer).
A falling star indicates the arrival of the child, and the Nightgazer will mark the grid in the sky where it is last seen. The star itself points to the constellation that will influence the newborn elf. If there is no known constellation, they will use their starstone to locate one. (Sometimes the constellation is further away in space and not seen by the naked eye)
This constellation is the foundation of this elf from birth. From everything to hair, to magic colors, to altering their path in life due to their unique abilities granted by the constellation.
(Added to that is the star. There's a 50/50 chance the Nightgazer can pinpoint the exact star that will represent the elf. For instance, within the Briar Rose constellation, there are 6 major stars for every color of rose. If a Nightgazer can pinpoint which of these Stars the fallen star marks, then not only will the Elf have a constellation, but a main star as well. IE: Mythral is of the Briar Rose constellation and her significant star is the Purple Rose as her mothers is the Yellow Rose star.)
Important aspects:
Hair: Some Constellations have specific colors they tend to produce, and because of that, Orders have cropped up to enhance the natural abilities they are born with. IE: The Kirin constellation tends to have white hair with a golden sheen, and either a yellow or blue nebula underneath. These elves have a tendency to excel in purification or healing magic. Others, like the Phoenix constellation, tend to have varying shades of red, orange, or flame type colors. These elves are known for their fire abilities, or even rejuvenation abilities.
Hair part two: If a Starfall elf has their hair down, a nebula can be seen and twinkling stars that backlight their face and neck and give them an otherworldly appearance. These nebulas tend to resemble the constellation they’re from and is a natural occurrence to their race and does not require their own energies. This is due to the fact that as Starfallen, they burn with the energy of the stars, but there’s so much energy that it needs somewhere to vent. To keep it from harming their brain, the energies vent around their neck and produce a natural nebula that reflects the stars in their hair.
Note: Starfallen can redirect the heat to their hands or feet if need be. Some elves will do this to "power up" their weapons that take on the nebula effects/energy.
Eyes: Starfall elves have regular eyes, however, when they use their powers they go all white and will glow with their primary or secondary star color. This is not true for the first Starfallen. Their eyes sparkle with stars.
Skin: Any color - some have freckles or “moles” that also shine like stars
Their birthmark resembles their constellation + an extra star which is theirs. This can appear anywhere on the body. The freckles tend to glow like stars.
Gender: All Genders (reproduction note: their nebula contain their DNA and are a secondary means for conception of children. If two Starfallen's nebula come in contact often and during a certain hormone cycle, then whoever is incubating could be impregnated. This allows f/f pairs and non-binary folx, the ability to have kids.
First Generation features: Those blessed by the Pillars directly; star strewn hair and stars in their eyes
Second Gen (born to the blessed): nebula features under the hair, eyes glow when powers activated, varying range of skin colors (orange, green, blue, etc) and not just limited to the elves they were born from since skin color and hair can be affected by their constellation/star. Can also redirect their heat into their weapon to provide extra power to it. Magic affects on weapon generally appear as a nebula surrounding it.
Weapons and Starstones: All scribes/Nightgazers have their own set of Starstones. They're primarily used by Nightgazers, but the scribes also find uses for them. Powered by the stars, when these crystals come in contact with a metal known as mercinal, it helps to solidify the metal, but also the magical properties allow for the metal to bend and shape to the users will. (Mercinal is a metal that falls along with all Pillars. This is a metal that originated from the Pillars of Ressurection and can multiply easily once in contact with oxygen on the different planets.)
These starstones and mercinal metals were then used for weapons, magical writing utensils and more. Anything created with it would also leave a trail of stars in its wake, or pens would write and the ink would have sparkles in it. Starstones come in many shapes and sizes, but because of how the metal acts with it, weapons can easily be transformed for ease of carrying.
Eventually, all Starfallen receive or are given their own, often times passed down from parents or grandparents.

Classes (WIP)
Note: these are specialized classes, but they can also be regular classes found in DnD
Starscrybe: These elves create their own special quill, ink and grimoire to chart the heavens. They use their signature magic which usually utilizes constellations. They can trace these constellations when in battle or casting spells. Items created this way last for 24 hours unless a blood pact is made, and then it's until the seal is broken.
Starscrybe's also specialize in glyph's, runes, and sigils.
Nightgazers: One of the special orders of Starfallen, they use special Starstones to locate the constellations at a child's birth, whether they’re near or far. A fallen star at the child's birth will designate their constellation, but a Nightgazer will use their starstone to confirm it. Sometimes a their constellation will be deeper in space and not congruent with the more localized constellation. Based on the star in the constellation the Nightgazer will also name their personalized birthstone.
Starstruck: A specialized class that also utilizes celestial magic but with weapons. Their weapons are created based on their own personal birthstone and starstone as well as the mercinal metal that helps shape the weapon. Mercinal always begins as a liquid, but when cast with the stones, will harden and form the weapon. However, when a Starfallen/Starling wields these weapons their Starfyre can reshape the weapon temporarily based on their needs.
Starcharter: A new classification for Scribe, this role helps map the sky and land and works together with Nightgazers.
Starscrypture: Those who specialize in this, wield music and art. Instead of constellations, they can draw pictures from their special ink and quill, that allows them to create weapons and constructions. They're also made by coalesced stars. For those who create music, a bar can be seen in the air and stars used as notes. Some can sing weapons into existence while others can use their song or musical instruments for their needs.
