1. A Background on Stars

You've seen the stars twinkle at night. You've learned that they're made of many gases clumped together by gravity, forming a ball of glowing particles. You've seen constellations draw all sorts of shapes in the dark sky. However, is this really all what they are?

Stars are the simplest unit of life form outside planets. Stars, asides from gas, are also made of stardust that can regroup into any matter with the aid of star power present in stars and stardust, and thus each star has the uncanny ability to change form from its gaseous state. Technology, however, has yet to explore the universe in a greater picture; no discoveries have ever uncovered the true story of stars and their capability to form anything, including flesh, when needed.

All stars bow down to a higher being, called the Star God, who reigns over them and gives life to the masses of gas that can form on her palm. Naturally, stars may combine power to reach greater forms (such as star systems and asterisms), although there is only a limit a group of stars can reach before they can no longer contain more star power. The Star God is the only being who can combine even greater star power to create something more powerful. These "more powerful ones" are what humans may call constellations. There is an existing hierarchy among stars that rank their power.

Proportionate to the star power is the importance they serve in the galaxy; those with little to no star power live shorter lives as their impact to the galaxy in general is near negligible. Those with immense star power, such as the constellations and the Star God herself, serve great importance in the maintenance of balance, and chaos may result from the loss of them. As in the case of the zodiac constellations, all star systems must die at the same time, so the loss of even just one star system (while others are still present) can collapse an entire constellation. A black hole may persist in the immediate loss of constellations or star systems (as they are a collection of stars); single stars rarely make a negative impact due to immediate loss, but in the event that they do, only produce only a weak black hole.

Death by old age is the only way a star, star system, or constellation can die without a large negative impact on the galaxy; these are called "shooting stars". However, a star or a group of them may lose star power if they lose the will to keep their position, and thus fall from the galaxy onto the nearest mass that can pull them down by gravity; these, in turn, are called "fallen stars" and are what is considered to be an immediate loss.

Only one immediate loss has ever been recorded in the history of the stars, and this was millions of years ago: a constellation, losing the will to keep its position in the galaxy, lost all its star power and plummeted down, down, down from the heavens onto a large mass — Earth. This large impact on the planet caused a massive wipe out of creatures, now known as dinosaurs. An immense black hole also resulted from this loss; thankfully, it was far enough from the Solar System to suck in any of the planets or the Sun. Every star soon became wary of this situation and were thus reminded of their responsibility in holding the great star power in their hands.

However, one thought, what if they didn't want to have that responsibility anymore? What if it just isn't worth trying to hold all that great power anymore with they way they are being treated up there? They were suffering, and they wanted no more of it — how about revenge?
