Stars are simply more than just stars. They were here to witness the creation of life as well as its own destruction over the years. Every few years a star falls to earth and takes on a life like those they watched over. Those who were first to fall were considered the guardians, sworn to protect all life big or small; good or evil. They were not to interfere with the tapestry of life knowing that something always happened for a reason; They were meant to keep order and watch the balance between supernatural and human realms. Over the years as more stars hand fallen from the sky above clans were formed called 'Houses'. Those who didn't belong to a house were considered rogues. A rogues main objective after they choose their first form is to join a house, a Star without a house made them weaker than those who were attached to one. A house could have a total of two leaders one being a male and one being a female, this would allow their kind a genetic chance at survival without having to wait for another star to fall and families to be created.
Upon crash landing on earth they gain two forms, their true form which is when they pick what natural wildlife that surrounds the local area as well as a human form since humans are simply something that cant be avoided. The true form is considered the sacred form and are only to be used when meeting with those of their own kind. Theses forms also show social hierarchy among the species, those of the first fallen will resemble something strong as well as wise. When in human form there are slight attributes that would give them away to other of there kind, When under any kind of light whether it be bright or dim their skin will sparkle. This sparkling is because their skin is actually made up of tiny micro diamonds, this also makes it so their skin is damn near indestructible to modern objects. Another give away is there eyes. Those of the original fallen will resemble something of a galaxy and the constellation they fell from, all others will be simple white dots that flicker like stars. This is hidden by basic glamor but those who can see past the glamor will see the radiance in their distinct eyes.
The main ability would be considered shape-shifting as they could shift between their true form and human, if someone was to ask them what they were though they would say human. No human or supernatural can detect what they are, they have no off putting scent or anything. The only thing that could give them away are those that could see through their glamor. When they are happy their skin being to radiate a white golden glow, this increased their body temp as well and making them hot to the touch; When they are sad or upset the opposite happens. Their skin loses it glowing sheen and actually turns a purplish grey and they grow almost death cold to the touch. The first fallen as well as those that fall from a constellation develop more abilities that suit their constellation. I.E: If they fell from draco they could be able to manipulate the element of fire, build a fire resistance, ect. (If you were to have an element they can only use the natural elements such as earth, air, fire, water. From there they could have a secondary sub elemental power such as Earth - Stone, Fire - Lava, Air - Thunder/Lightning, Water - Tidal wave, Tsunami)
Special Ability: When the first original fallen come together they can pull up a 3D like image of the galaxy, when this is up they can create new life. This new life is limited to one single star due to the massive amount of energy needed to do such a thing, This is considered a special event and happens only once A Year during the autumn Equinox . How they get the energy to do this is the sun. Once a year the diamonds that made up their skin can absorb the energy and mix it with their own. This energy is then converted together with that of the other originals and together they can create their single star.
With every pro comes a con. Their glowing would be considered a weakness, the glamor cant hide this so if they find themselves extremely happy in a public area with humans about they could easily give themselves away. For those who bare an element with them their opposite element would be considered a great weakness; I.E Water beats fire. They are ten times more vulnerable to human illness's like the common cold and the flu but they are immune to things serious things like cancer. The reason why they can get sick and not get other things like cancer is because they aren't human. Cancer is a human mutation, the stars dont have what humans do to obtain such a mutation, even if they did develop a cancer they still have a back up plan. Being a star they generate a solar radiation inside of their bodies. This radiation has low enough levels that it cannot affect Animal or plant life but it is still potent enough to attack the generating cancer cells. They basically have their own radiation treatment without having to visit a hospital.
Diet wise they eat everything everyone else does. They are meant to be trying to blend in so if they were to see a vegetarian then that specific star would see that being a vegetarian was the 'norm' of that area; Just like if one was to see someone eating a steak then eating meat was considered the 'norm' there. it all depends on what they see first.
Male: Males are generally larger than the females. They are meant to protect and provide. The definition of bringing home the bacon. These are usually bigger guys in size broad shoulders, larger muscle mass ect. If a star was to see someone that they wanted to be like that fell within their own genetic code then they could 'copy' them. Not exactly a 100% twin but if they see a jawline they desire or a specific color of eye, body shape, ect.
Female: The same thing works for females, if they see an image they like they copy it. If they see someone with an hour glass figure and they want it then they copy it, their bodies will grow, shrink, and conform to the physique of their own personal desire.
Eyes: Eye color can vary from your basic blue, green, brown, and hazel to shades of purples, pinks, yellows, and oranges. The first of the fallen(The originals) eyes contain what looks like a galaxy in their eyes, this can only be seen by those who can see through a glamor and their own kind. Others not of the originals have basic white dots that sparkle like a twinkling star.
Hair: Hair style follows whatever is trendy, their main objective is to blend in and not bring attention to themselves.
Flesh: Skin resembles basic human flesh; but once up close and personal one would begin to see the sparkle of a diamond. The skin is actually made up of tiny microscopic diamonds, this is the result from their skin heating up on their fall to earth.
Houses: Houses are created by one or two of the originals. Each house may have only a total of two originals thus one being a male and one being a female. There is an unlimited amount of rogues and or non originals allowed to join a specific house. Those who fall from specific constellations will most likely join the house that is led by an original from that constellation. Those who are rogues are free to join which ever house they choose. Each house follows the main laws though each house is also allowed its own rules to be followed as well. Like There are your government laws and then state laws.
Laws:
1: One is to Never tell an outsider of our true identity without explaining why you want to tell them to the head of your house. Rogues who have given out this information will not be allowed to join a house due to the safety of others.
2: A threat towards an original can result in death.
3: An Archivist is not to hurt another of its kind.
4: Do not interfere with natural chain of events, I.E Saving someone who is meant to die.
5: Archivists are meant to keep the peace, there is no such thing as violence among their kind. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
When a star lands on earth the are to pick one of the natural wildlife that can be found. Archivists are based strictly in New Versailles Louisiana so the wildlife one would pick would be what someone could find in this state. After their animal is picked, if one falls from a particular constellation then their true form would have representation of that constellation. I.E: Shaylee fell from Draco and her true form is a barn owl, once the two mix her barn owl form now has dragon like horns coming from her head and a dragon like tail coming from under her tail feathers. These traits dont always have to be a physical change, it can also be non physical.
