Also, make sure you stop by the Breeders if you're interested in a Starling of your own. Don't forget to check out our affiliates too, they have some incredible dragons themselves. If you'd like to be added to the breeders or affiliates please let me know, I'd be happy to add you.
There is no ping list as of right now and there likely will not be. If things start to change frequently I might consider it.

This is now a subspecies with several different starlings having entered the planet. They are always of the neutral alignment, draw their energy from the light of stars, unless a shade touched then they draw energy from their shade, have a strong desire to witness history, will often not interfere with events that are happening unless it's happening to someone close to them.

Birth & Hatchlings:
When Starlings are born they are not born in the traditional manner. When the egg finally cracks open a living star will shoot out and start it's journey across Sornieth. Like most light it does not stop until it hits something, at that point the hatchling takes on it's physical form and has officially found it's home. They prefer large clans or centers of civilization. Being along is not usually a desirable state of being, but a rare few Starlings chose it.
Hatchlings that take up residence in clans are exceptionally curious and overly daring. They are a special challenge that many cannot handle. Those that are sold or given away will usually come back to their chosen lair. On rare occasions the Starling will view the receiving clan as preferable/more interesting than their first choice.
Socialization:
Starlings are extremely curious and social creatures. They usually do not have any issues with blending into societies. The society they are raised in contributes to their alignment. For instance, if the Starlings family unit and clan are law abiding citizens that stick to a strict code of conduct the Starling will likely turn out to be lawful or good. The same goes for a morally ambiguous clan. On occasion the Starling will, for whatever reason, prefer solitude to that of community. Why this happens is unique to the Starling.
Special abilities:
Record History: History is often recorded in the stars, well Starlings take that most seriously. They often times will be found standing around events watching. They do not usually interfere with whatever is going on, especially if they are the true neutral types. Chaotic and good will jump in to arrest negative situations, commonly if someone they know and care for is involved. The histories they see are recorded as stars of light along their bodies. The older they are, or the more they see, the more stars they bear. Even more remarkable, they are able to remove individual stars and replay those histories as recorded through their eyes. How the playback happens is unique to each Starling. It can be as simple as a flashback seen in the mind or an elaborate hologram that can consume a room.
Wish Upon a Star: As the name suggests a great many Starlings have the ability to grant wishes. How and why they they grant wishes is up to them and using the reality bending magic drains them for a day. The Starling must wait for 24hours before being able to use magic again, so during that time they are quiet defenseless. It varies between Starlings as to how long they are able to actually preform the wish again. Some are able to the very next day while others must wait years before being able to preform again. Lawful - good will usually be straight forward with a wish, creating it as they hear it. True neutrals usually do not cast favors at all. And of course chaotic - evil will take wishes in their vaguest sense, skewing them from their intended meaning. Sometimes their will be major catches with those wishes. This does not mean that any alignment can't be cruel or favorable with their wishes, that's just the most logical suggestion. As always, wish casting is unique to the Starling.
Bending Light: For a short period of time the Starling can revert back to its original starlight form. This is often done to get somewhere fast (light speed) or to get away from a possible bad situation. This skill is only usable for short periods of time, but usually three to five minutes is all the Starling needs to get to where they are going. They cannot take any other with them when they travel as light.

Subspecies Requirements
 Blue Starlings:
Otherwise known as the Night Stars. These Starlings come from the cold dark of space. They were drawn to Sornieth during her plight with the unyielding darkness (or Shade). They draw the most energy from the stars in the night sky and so they tend to be more active during the night.
|
|
Golden Starlings:
Or Day Stars, these Starlings were originally from Sornieth's own sun and so they take their energy from the sun itself. They can absorb star light at night, but not enough to sustain any magic use. These dragons are most active during the day.
|
|
Shade Touched Starlings:
Unfortunately, the shade wasn't entirely removed from some of the Starlings after they escaped it. This taint has lead to their offspring being tainted as well. These Starlings can be either blue or golden and neither will draw energy from starlight. Instead, the Shade is their power source. Their taint will show in their tertiary gene and sometimes their eyes. These dragons will usually be in the chaotic and evil ends of their alignments.

Hachling Care
Please be aware that these hatchlings are different from normal hatchlings. They possess no instinctive drive to self preserver and they have no innate sense of danger. In addition, your new hatchling will be by far more curious about the world then a normal hatchling. They will put anything in their mouth and will test the limits of everything they find (
including your patients). Special care must be taken with these precious little hatchlings. Good Luck!
. I replaced the changed material. Question though, did the bubble line get left in Greenkeepers?
