Race: The Anodyne
The Anodynes are celestial beings made of liquefied stardust, or 'burning star', as they would call it. These beings were once part of their home star, but released as excess gas into the nearby planets, causing them to liquefy into their otherwise super liquid form. How a minuscule piece of a star gained the ability to live is unknown, along with how it was even able to develop its sentience.​ They have no known home planet, and wander aimlessly through the void of space.

The Anodynes adore the humanoid, or upright bipedal form; they consider it to be the purest of all forms, due to the fact that this is the first form they have developed upon gaining their sentience. They believed it was chosen by their 'gods' in order for them to survive. Their body consists of a core, the main 'generator' of the body, the 'stardust', an extremely viscous outer liquid, and an inner super liquid that forms most of their body, and the 'star pieces', the hard, sturdy crystals that form on their chest, waist, and limbs.​ They are known to be extremely intelligent, but also very rare. They are known thorughout the galaxy, but only a few will ever probably see them in their lifetimes.

As their name suggests, the Anodynes are particularly fond of the processes and the secrets of healing. As such, they are capable of immortality and can never die in age, given they have the resources to fuel the burning core inside their cold, hard shells. Unfortunately, the process of healing can not help them if their core gets destroyed. These consequences make them far from invincible.​

They usually take up a variety of professions in colonies and many other places, and are known for having more intellectual jobs, such as scientists, politicians, and military commanders. Most are known to be somewhat religious, but there are radical zealots, and some who simply shrug off religion all-together.
