Starlets are the most common humanoids on Pleione. They inhabit the countries of Alcyone, Wasat, and Chara and are rarely seen outside their borders. A few loner Starlets roam the uncharted seas but they are seldom heard of. They can live in any climate but the cold often damages their skin, making it hard to live up north and explore the mysterious Haldis Territory.
Generally speaking, the Starlets are quite an eccentric and eclectic bunch. However, they do not like mingling social status. They are very social and are usually kind-hearted when with their own "kind." There are many egocentric upper-Class Starlets who dislike associating themselves with other races and other classes. Those types will always be found in the great capitol, Kalb. There are also lower-Class Starlets who dislike the upper-Classes, they are usually found on the outskirts of cities and in Merope.
Guardians are rare Starlets who look over Pleione and are scattered throughout the world. They are generally helpful and serene although there are some old Guardians who dislike the young 'Lets these days. All Starlets look up to them, some even want to be like them.
Protostar: The Starlet starts out as a small baby wrapped up in a blanket, with its eyes still closed and a head of silky-soft hair. Although still small, the baby will have markings on its body that indicate their magic specialty. The baby will toss and turns but will not wake from its sleep. At this stage the baby Starlet needs tender warmth from its caretaker. If they are left alone, the Guardians will take them back to Maia.
Fusion Ignition: The baby Starlet finally opens its eyes and starts walking, right into being a toddler. It is more curious than any sprite and has enough energy to wear out the strongest of Caretakers. Its tribal markings have grown larger and more intricate.
Near-Main: Once the Starlet is able to use basic magic, it is considered a child. This is the stage where it learns the most and starts developing its personality. The child will be looking to anyone taller for examples and their curiosity drives them to question even more. Their tribal markings have finished developing and just waiting to grow.Main Sequence: This is the most pivotal role in a Starlet's life, it is now a teenager and starting to walk down its own path. Though the path may be rocky, the teen is starting to develop into an adult in both mind and body. It will often rebel and throw tantrums while learning and growing into the adult that they will someday be. Whether that is training to tame magic, going to a weapons school to learn the art of battle, or just staying home and learning everything it can from its caretaker, they are able to choose their own path.
Red Giant/Supergiant: The longest stage for a Starlet is being an adult. It can compete in magic and battle tournaments, find love, and do almost anything there is to do in Pleione. It has the option to receive training to become a Guardian, or go for a different dream. Once a love is found, or a Guardian has approved, it can even adopt children/FIs.
White Dwarf/Black Hole: This is the most powerful and hard-earned stage for any Starlet. It is now a regal, royal hero to Pleione that everyone respects. Guardians help the world prosper and take care of the nurseries and other Starlets that catch its eye. A special gift that only Guardians receive is the power to breed. They are the only ones who can have biological children/FIs with their loved one. RP or megabribe only!Essence: At this stage, a Starlet's star has long been dead but their body lives on in the form of an Elder-Guardian. Not much is known about these as there is only one... RP and megabribe only!
