Whats is a GalaxyBaby?


Like the lore tells GalaxyBabies are the children of stars that fell in love with animals, making a brand new species known as GalaxyBabies.

GalaxyBabies live in a special land far up in the skies, a place that was created by the wish of the first ever parents of GalaxyBabies. Crafted from meteors and space debris, and shaped to be a bastion of living, this land is known as the Orion Archipelago, or just Orion for short. This land is divided into an entire chain of floating islands much like the Aermerean Isles. They have an island full of forests, a small village, a big city, a flowerfield, etc. Each sub world does also bear a name too, but this is not common knowledge and is treated as a cultural secret known only to GalaxyBabies and their families. New areas are still being formed as needed so it’s an expansive world. The islands are connected through galactic pathways that all GalaxyBabies can travel across. Because of this outsiders don't really live in this world, but GalaxyBabies are also known to live on the planet below. Many of them tend to frequent Melody Hills, the star capital of the planet, as well as the meadows around Constellation Lake, where the first stars fell and a spiraling Galaxy Path extends from the center of the lake leading to the Archipelago. There are tales of an island where the Royals live but the island and pathway to it will not appear or open without a special invitation or the magic of a royal family member.

The more stars a GalaxyBaby consumes the more powerful and shimmery it is. In recent years though this practice has become frowned upon by certain groups because of how it kills a star. Because of this, GalaxyBabies researched an alternative and were able to come up with a liquid that is able to simulate this process without eating whole systems of stars but the effect isn't as powerful as if you ate the stars themselves. While a GalaxyBaby primarily eats stars, they can also eat regular and normal food, sometimes topped with stardust as another effort to get the nutrition they need while still conserving star clusters. The stars they eat, whether natural or artificial, make their eyes and patterns glow and shimmer. The diet of a GalaxyBaby also influences their lifespan.

Like the stars they are descended from, a GalaxyBaby can easily live for millions of years if they take proper care of themselves. Things like starving themselves of star matter, over using their abilities, or getting too sick or injured can cause them to have shorter lives, though even this is relative to who you ask. A sickly GalaxyBaby can still live for thousands of years rather than millions. GalaxyBabies also possess Star Hearts. Their hearts are always a star-like shape (any star-like shape, regardless of the number of points) that glows in the dark if it has been filled or energized recently with a star or galaxy. The color of the galaxy in their heart are the same colors as the their Sky Type. Galaxy Babies with a seeping Star Heart are cursed or ill. There are also blackhole/void Star Hearts which are cursed/corrupt.

GalaxyBabies with an empty hole for a heart, otherwise known as a void heart, can not travel the Paths and are seen as cursed, corrupted or even ill. They have a special island where they are able to live in the darkness. They are known for ravaging whole star systems and sometimes have been known to even chomp on meteors to try and appease their voracious appetites and possibly fill the void inside them. If a cursed GalaxyBaby steals the galaxy of a Blessed GalaxyBaby and fills their heart with it they can get cured of their corruption and be seen as "normal." But at what price? The Blessed will die in the process. This arcane practice is forbidden and if the one committing it is caught the consequences are dire. However since many don’t travel to this accursed isle it's easier to get away with this than one would think if one pulls it off. Of course it doesn’t happen except in the rarest of cases, seeing as it is rather difficult for a Cursed to get at a Blessed, all of whom also have their own protected isle.

GalaxyBabies with Zodiac signs in their hair or on their body are seen as Blessed and belonging to the royal family. The Blessed much like the Cursed have their own isle and it is a paradise, they can also live on the royal isle if they wish. These Blessed babies can only be noticed in the dark, as you can only see the star sign or zodiac when they glow, otherwise it’s invisible and they appear to be no different than any other GalaxyBaby. Some higher level ones can make them appear at will but this is not common and is very draining. It is also considered a bit vain to force your marks to glow in the light. Blessed babies for some reason have a compromised immune system and are more likely to get sick then other GalaxyBabies. They are also hunted for their shimmering pure galaxies by the Cursed, to try and cure themselves of their empty hearts.
