Starfallen

The Starfallen are usually born to Imperial parents. Though it seems to be a random chance, some claim that such a birth can reveal a deamonic or infernal influence on the parents of the child. When either or both parents are Starfallen, their children are guaranteed to be Starfallen too.
== Appearance ==
The Starfallen have a wide range of appearances. Some look very similar to Imperials while others look very different.
In general, all Starfallen have Horns. These come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. The traits of the horns are not passed on, and each Starfallen will have their own unique horns.
Though skin colour largely depends on the subrace, the Starfallen belongs to, this is not a strict rule and all Starfallen subraces can exhibit the full range of colour. Though rare, some Starfallen even change their skin colour as they grow older.
Some, though not all Starfallen have tails. These can range from small to long, from thin to thick, and from naked to furred or scaled. Though not required to live, cutting off the tail if they possess it, even at their own requests, is known to induce depression, reduce magic sensitivity and shorten the lifespan.
Similarly, some Starfallen may have scales covering parts of their bodies. Usually the feet, knees, hips, forearms, and face. While hard, these scales offer only limited protection from weapon attacks.
== Origin and Standing ==
The origin of the Starfallen is disputed. The Starfallen themselves claim to have been blessed by Thalindra, giving them a similar appearance to her children Alaria and Laria.
In contrast, most Imperials believe that the Starfallen were created when some cultist tried to emulate the powers given to Alaria and Laria and struck a deal with a deamon or devil. From this belive, the Imperials began to call the Starfallen “Tieflings” as a slur. 
As such, the Starfallen are generally categorized as Beastfolk and most Imperial parents, particularly those of the nobility and clergy, will often kill a Starfallen child immediately after birth. 
Due to this infanticide, there exist relatively few Starfallen and those who survived their birth were either born into poor families or abandoned by their families. Almost all Starfallen grew up in poverty and hunger.
== Subraces ==
=== Voidfallen ===
The Voidfallen are said to take after Thalindra. They are the rarest of the Starfallen and usually spot dark purple or black skin with white glowing spots, much like stars. Their hair is typically white or black, with their eyes similarly white, black or purple.
=== Sunfallen ===
The Sunfallen are said to take after Alaria. They typically have skin colour in the red-brownish hue, ranging from very pale to quite dark. Their eyes are often white or golden.
=== Moonfallen ===
The Moonfallen are said to take after Laria. They typically have skin colour in the bluish hues, ranging from an almost perfect white to a deep blue or purple. Their eyes are often white, blue or black.
