Starbeing

"There's not enough time in the world to express my unwavering hate for you." - Narthex
Starbeings are a biomechanical race of humanoids that live and are born on stars. They are comprised of an advanced metal called Sunsheet and have very powerful electronic devices. They are known for evolving and adapting and having a general hate for everything that breathes.
== Generations ==
Generations are a humanized term to explain each different lineage of Starbeing. A generation may last for several Eras or it may only last for 500 years and then change.

== Biology ==
Starbeings have highly poisonous and hot lithium blood. This Lithium blood is required to activate the small filaments within their Sunsheet bodies to make them "Live", which is that they become denser, tougher, and rigid. They do not require any food to eat or drink, rather they require some level of sunlight to keep their bodies warm enough to keep their core running. Most Starbeings have nuclear or dynamo cores. Their armor, which is sunsheet, is highly absorbent of heat. Starbeings lack most traditional organs and their brains went from being small discs that could be pulled out to actual mechanical parts inside of the head."What, I don't want anything? Does a space robot not eating food confuse you or something, buddy?" - Astral to TW while they're at a restaurant Astral used to be able to replace his mind into other bodiesnoncanon, however GEN3 and GEN4 cannot do so. Starbeings, unlike other races, are extremely bottom heavy so in melee combat they rely on kicks more than punches. They have no need to breathe either.
Starbeings cannot reproduce, as all of their offspring are usually created by depositing pieces of their body into their star. Starbeings also do have some regenerative abilities in later generations.
Starbeings that reign from different stars also tend to be different.Not always the case. Some Starbeings from Blue Giants can be built like Red Dwarves and vice versa. It's just a general majority
* Red Dwarf - short, hot tempered, small
* Yellow Sequence - average height, cool, built
* Blue Giant - tall, intelligible, pacifistic, strong
* Red Giant - tall, berserk, strong
* Neutron Star - messy, disabled, broken
* Black Hole - one occasion, powerful
All of these starbeings had not been united until Apollo convinced them to unite together.
It's not exactly stated why Starbeings from different suns grow differently, but it can be inferred that Starbeings have an "adequate temperature" for birth, but it seems like their size is also dependent on star size, as "Giant" stars produce large titanic starbeings, and smaller stars produce anywhere from average to miniature starbeings.
Under response from physical pressure, studies have found that on average Starbeings can withstand incredible pressures. Meaning, that a Starbeing could easily go to the bottom of the Mariana Trench and resurface relatively fine, and go down into the bowels of Jupiter and return. Healthy Starbeings are capable of lifting (deadlift) around 15x their weight. Their maximum capabilities allow them to sustain 60x their weight. However, a Starbeing's upper body is significantly weaker than the lower, only being able to lift around 7x their weight.
Starbeings come out of the star at usually half of their full-height. They will grow this height within 1-2 years, and then they are considered by humanity to be within adulthood. On average, each Starbeing has around 3-15 offspring. Starbeings are biologically similar to the Purge, as their blood tends to run very hot, at around 2500F. Not only will you be poisoned on contact with the blood, it will sear right through you, and in some cases of Starbeings being cut, their blood sprays out and will bisect the enemy by literally burning them in half.Another note; Starbeings surprisingly can have mental illnesses despite having no physical brain. Human scientists aren't quite sure how it works, as if perfectly programmed living robots coming out of a sun was not enough to give them a tip that, Hey! Starbeings are completely unnatural and out of this world.
=== Starbeing Elementals ===
Narthex, being a genius, found a way for Starbeings to fuse with the highly powerful Elementals. By stealing their Element Cores, Narthex can infuse them into Starbeings. This gives them a much larger, stronger appearance, white glowing veins running through their skin/underarmor, and abilities never seen before. Apophis and Narthex are both Starbeing Elementals. These Star-Elementals can be created by using quick nanite reflux surgery to take out a core, put the Element Core behind it, and then re-insert. Star-Elementals cannot be affected by planet destruction unlike normal Elementals, making them vastly more dangerous.
== Culture ==
Starbeings are extremely xenophobic and racist. There was a short time where they were actually friendly, however that time is long gone. Their females will usually dismantle the males to create offspring. Starbeings have no set religion.
Starbeings love mathematics and science. The study of the universe is their happiness, and they could go on all day. Starbeings will also attempt to consume their dead by throwing their pieces into their cores to let them be used for fuel. Other than that, they have many human traditions passed on through heritage from mostly Astral.
However, as of Narthex's reign, the culture has drastically changed to competitiveness. Starbeings want to see whose the strongest between them, and they fight about it. However, despite this, they have become plenty more intelligent. Starbeings also love puzzles, and used to frequently visit barren moons or planets to play puzzles on, as they'd simply melt on their planet.
Starbeings have utter disrespect for every race, excluding the Purge, who they find humorous from their envious actions. Otherwise, Starbeings do not care about religions or cultural aspects of other races. As far as they are concerned, what you stand for and what you like doesn't matter.
== History ==
History
Event 	Time 	Events
Qerin, King of the Stars 	E1 Y408 	The first leader of the Starbeings since E1 Y408, Qerin was a powerful gospel who issued prophetic and propaganda-like messages. Everybody praised him on every star. He had first conformed their government to a dynasty, where the presiding family would take charge. He ushered hate messages to every other race, enunciating their problems and hostility.
The Great Race War 	E2 Y205 - E3 Y2070 	Qerin's vocal favoritism of the Red Dwarves caused the other races to engulf in anger toward eachother. This war took place around E2 Y205 and stopped whenever Apollo took the throne and managed to unite the races in the later E3. The war was brutal, with sides forgetting who they were fighting and why, only to rip eachother apart.
Dark Silence 	E2 Y952 - E2 Y120B 	During these years, the Starbeing race somewhat stagnated. There was no colonization, no advancements, and no wars. Everything went dark for the race until the later years, where things got better.
Great Evolution 	E2 Y112B 	Starbeings had notoriously gone through a major upgrade into their GEN2 form. Curiously, it seems that most Starbeings all upgrade at the same time. This upgrade sparked what would overall be called The Great Evolution.
Fall of Qerin, King of Stars 	E2 Y120B 	On E2 120B, Qerin, King of the Stars, had passed away. He had lived for well over 200 billion years, and it would take the Starbeings another billion years to find another leader. He passed away on Pryxis, a brown dwarf.
The Second Dark Silence 	E2 Y120B - E3 Y69 	As Qerin fell without any children, the original dynasty had no leaders and therefore the race broke out into anarchy and dimness. It seems everything was unhopeful.
Rise of Astral 	E3 Y69 - E3 Y2058 	Astral, a notorious name and the second longest reigning leader of the Starbeings, took charge. He got the Starbeings to stop their war against humanity. He also changed their government to a Republic, and the people would elect others to vote in leaders. He was inspired by America. However, by 2058, Astral was killed by Eir and his leadership no longer sustained.
Great Evolution II 	E3 Y2062 	Starbeings evolved once again into GEN3. This is considered their limitations, as these GEN3 were very powerful. It's not quite stated why they evolved once again, however prophets believe that Qerin gifted them once again.
Rise of Apollo 	E3 Y2069 - E3 Y2072	Apollo was a GEN3 Starbeing. Considered a vicious ruler by outsiders, he was incredibly tender and caring to his people. Economy boosted, the war against Humanity was resettled, and he created peace between the races of Starbeings. His reign was one of the shortest ever however, only lasting 3 years, until he was killed by Kairo in Manhattan.
Rise of Narthex & Education 	E3 Y2095 - E3 Y2113	Narthex, a lab test and a genetically modified Starbeing, assumed the role of power after beating everyone else. He changed the government type to a Dictatorship so no one could steal his power, and he made it very clear that he was disgusted of the Starbeing's newfound emotional traits. He called them weak and horrible. However, he was forgiving of their ignorance and made best of it to educate his people, the first leader to create an education system and a military system. With this, he went on to create the first Starbeing Military and faction, which would be called the Starwrath Covenant.
Starwrath Covenant's First War 	E3 Y2110 	The Starwrath Covenant, led by Narthex sent out a major 80 trillion unit battalion to attack the Qylis. Overwhelmingly successful, they swept the entire race and nearly eradicated them, only losing four thousand units in the fight.
Annex of BH-Gargantua 	E3 Y2111 	As the Qylis were the only race guarding others from Gargantua, the Starwrath Covenant formerly declared that Gargantua and the area surrounding it was to be officially recognized as their land.
Contact with Osiris 	E3 Y2112 	The Starbeings encountered Osiris for the first time.
Death of Narthex & Disbanding of the Starwrath Covenant.	E3 Y2113 	Narthex was finally put to death by Stasia and Lumina on Earth, marking the end of his leadership. As the Starbeings had no leader, the Starwrath Covenant quickly fell to pieces.
== Strengths ==
Starbeings can learn and eventually replicate entire melee combat arts in a matter of an hour with near perfectionwith most combat arts, not all, especially some very specific ones like way of the star. They have incredibly precision and tactical prowess. As a team, they can back down even the smartest fighters or armies into corners. They also are very agile for their bulky size, and lack of pain receptors or organs means they can be hit practically anywhere and continue fighting. Starbeings are also very strong against flame and heat, and noise. Starbeings can also self-destruct if need be, and are capable of ripping apart titanium with their hands. Starbeings also prioritize massive incineration beams that can obliterate some Purge Ships.
Starbeings also have an incredibly keen method to technological evolution. Since Narthex's appointment, Starbeings learned how to wield nanotechnology and fuse with Elementals, putting them eons ahead of other races.
== Weaknesses ==
Starbeings cannot tolerate the cold very well, and their cores are usually exposed, which means that you can put things in there that should not be in there. This is a massive weakness for most Starbeings, and the only one to solve it was Astral, who created a core shield for himself. Starbeings also cannot swim because they are so densecan use thrusters to have aquatic mobility. Starbeings also used to be HEAVILY uneducated and untrained, until Narthex.
== Appearances ==
<tabber>
Worlds End=
Starbeings would continually show up as antagonists throughout the beginning. They were a spacefaring enemy that only the strongest dared to challenge. However, after Astral showed up, they slowly became friendly and would help fight many wars. In the original version, the Neutron Starbeing appeared very briefly and violently attacked Astral. Astral is also a Starbeing who appears in Worlds End, a major protagonist. Apollo is a major antagonist who appears in Worlds End. There is also Narthex.
|-|
Andromeda=
Starbeings are extremely powerful in Andromeda. The only instance of them being fought is when Roent, Lumina, and Lilith all enter the Excursion Zone. Their ship is taken down by a patrolling Starbeing, and then they have to escape Apollo and two other warriors. They then encounter the Black Hole Starbeing who is eventually dispatched. Narthex and Apollo are both in Andromeda.
|-|
Darkspore=
Narthex is an instance of Starbeings in Darkspore. He frequently leads his armada of Starbeings around the galaxy which makes every other race back off, until he was killed and the Starwrath Covenant was disbanded.

== Trivia ==
* Starbeings were originally going to be called Genonauts, short for Genocide and Astronaut.
* Starbeings are heavily based (design wise) off of Halo Spartans.
* There was originally a Starbeing legend of the most powerful starbeing who hailed from a Neutron Star. In the original World's End, he did exist, but he does no longer exist in the modern rewrite.
* The Black Hole Starbeing is commonly labelled as an Ascendant Starbeing, despite the only Ascendant being Narthex, who is a GEN4.
* Starbeings have been on multiple occasions fused with other races, such as Ascendant Omen being Starbeings crossed with Omen, or Starbeings with Elementals.
* Most Starbeings in the story were born on either Rigel or Betelgeuse, none on Sol.
* Originally, Starbeings populated every star. However this would make interspace travel far too difficult, so it was lowered to a very unlikely amount.
*Starbeing Elementals are by far one of the strongest races, if not the strongest race in every story besides some unique god races.
