Physical Description Human-like with some major exceptions. Glowing, luminescent skin and hair with eyes that seem to hold the very universe in them, carrying many secrets and vast knowledge.

Evadne is tall which is common amongst her kind, averaging about 6'4" although this can vary depending on the transformation. Lithe frame. She has, like all Flamelings, a perpetual aura of golden-white light surrounding her at all times but this can dim if she is sad or downtrodden, especially about the ills of the world. Likewise the aura can brighten if happy, sometimes blindingly so. This aura is evident to anyone she encounters. Flamelings instantly recognize other Flamelings.

Evadne is seen as hauntingly exquisite to those not like her as well as something completely alien, but beautiful nonetheless.   

Personality Good-natured, loving, spiritual, open-minded. Evadne views violence to be an atrocity and avoids warfare and dark energies where possible. She sees weapons as too corrupt and too liable to be used for evil purposes so will never be seen using them. She naturally seeks to aid those who are pure and decent or are simply misguided and trying to find their way in life. She however, will never help an evil person or being.

She is often seen uplifting others, keeping both morale and hopes high. As a Flameling, Evadne is often seen as a loner but despite this she has great personal magnetism and charisma. Most feel comfort and peace in her presence.

Weaknesses She sees weapons as too full of hate and violence so is untrained in weapon tactics. Sometimes will let the world's troubles plague her mind and soul more than they should, therefore dampening her spirits temporarily.

When a Star undergoes the transformation to become a Flameling, they are weakened during this time, a period of about one week to one month of Earth time. Powers are also greatly weakened and they have to isolate themselves until they fully adjust to their new state of being. Needless to say they would not descend somewhere crowded as they would be too vulnerable.

Strengths Highly insightful, knowledgeable, and wise. Excellent personal magnetism. Charismatic. Immortal for the most part, or at least they appear to be to short-lived races. 

Likes Learning, exploring, helping. Uplifting those who are downtrodden. New ideas and inventiveness. Goodness and light.

Dislikes Evil, fear, hatred, darkness. Weapons and violence. Closed-mindedness.

Magic/Abilities
Flameling Form: Stars can choose to become land-bound, transforming into humanoid form when they do called a Flameling. They choose a gender to their liking when this process occurs. Not all Stars can descend as they are bound by powerful universal laws by the Creator itself. One of these being that if a Star has to support life on nearby planets, they cannot and do not become Flamelings for they are needed where they're at.  Once a Star has descended, they remain as such for a time, until they deem the time is right to return, the process reversing itself. This can repeat as many times as they wish. As a Star/Flameling, Evadne has some unique gifts only available to her kind and only in Flameling form.

Star-Song: The ability to inspire one's allies or instill terror in evil, possibly even stunning them into a stupor much like a bard or siren would.

Star-Shine: Another ability that can be used in two ways, in an area effect called Star-Embrace or affecting only one target called Star-Bolts. This particular power is used to wipe out her enemies in a limited circumference or blind them temporarily.

Star-Prayer: Each use of the above two abilities taxes her strength and after awhile she must recharge them by undergoing a trance state called Star-Prayer, where she enters an intense meditation traversing star-lit pathways and places in her transcendental journey. This meditative trance can last up to one hour. It provides her with the same effects that sleep would for a human.

Star-Speak: Unique to these beings of light, Evadne also knows the language of Star-Speak. This sort of communication is deep and haunting sounding, and very melodic which resonates deeply within one's mind as though telepathically communicated. A lot of peoples (non-stars) are unnerved by its completely foreign sounds and ability to penetrate deeply into the subconscious.

Other: Evadne is also able to speak whatever the common tongue is wherever she travels. Flamelings will instantly recognize another Flameling and can sense their presence within a proximity of 100-200 feet in all directions.

Family All Stars and Flamelings are kin to her

Friends Same as above. Angels and other celestial beings as well as all light beings are allies.

Foes Evil, corrupted beings who seek to kill for no good reason

Food & Drink
Evadne does not need to eat or drink, however she can eat whatever she wants if she chooses to. She simply doesn't require it like mortals do.

History Evadne has traveled to many a world, reveling in the variety of sights, sounds, cultures and peoples. Her life has been very educational and adventurous, as well as spiritually enlightening. She does not often run into others like herself, but when these chance happenings occur, it is rather brief according to a Star. Evadne will not descend anywhere where there is extreme violence.

Her age is uncertain, but estimated to be at most a couple billion years, though time does not mean the same for her as it does most. Her birth like all Stars, was both magnificent and terrifying to mortal comprehension. She continues to travel to faraway worlds for eons, going back and forth from Star-form to Flameling-form during her long existence. Evadne continues to do so to this very day. While some mortals have viewed her with uncertainty and fear, others view her with awe and great respect, recognizing her as a powerful force of good. While not having any lasting relationships, she does and has formed some bonds with mortals, short-lived as they are. Flamelings are slow to forget their friends long after they've passed on.

Overall, Evadne views life as a blessing and feels blessed for being able to explore various lands so freely and see so much that most mortals can only dream of.   

Commentary Stars have a great understanding of mortal events and what goes on in many a world, watching what unfolds with interest. However some, unlike Evadne choose to remain distant and unattached to such affairs.

While Stars and Flamelings may seem immortal, in actuality they are not despite having lives that span for thousands, millions, billions and even trillions of years, depending upon each star's individual lifespan which can vary according to what type of star they are. Their aging process is extremely slow. So truthfully, they can die and only when it's their time to do so. Deaths for Stars are always violent but all accept this as part of their nature and of the cycles of life itself. When a Flameling realizes their time is at a near end, they ascend back to their cosmic home and stay there until death claims them, descending no more. What happens to them afterward and where their souls go, no one knows.

Flamelings prefer to keep a universal viewpoint on things, and while they respect mortal religion, to them spirituality is more pure and a higher form of faith. This allows them to see things with far more clarity.  Evadne is no different than the rest of her kind.

Note: This is a character I will play in the Open Roleplay section as I feel such a character shouldn't be restricted to a certain setting or place, for obvious reasons. This is a non-canon character/race. The picture I chose for Evadne really seems to capture just what I would imagine her to look like as a Flameling.
