• Personality & Obvious Traits

  Tiss is a 'wispling' a young starwisp removed from the collective and is now learning how to be an individual with their companion, another wispling named Vash. The two seem to be inseparable and are both under the care of Solaria.
  
  Tiss speaks with a child-like genderless voice. Out of the two wisplings, Tiss seems to be the braver of the two to speak up, ask questions, and seems to enjoy order and logic. Otherwise they seem to almost share a brain with Vash, always exchanging every thought with their companion to compare notes and opinions.

• Appearance

  
  
  Tiss's form is nothing but plasma contained within an egg-shaped crystal shell. An impenetrable green glow burns in the center with yellow blotches of colour slowly swirling around inside what one would for lack of better description call a miniature sun just over half the size of a human head. It floats in the air seemingly effortlessly. Occasionally brief glimpses of wispy white hair-like tendrils of energy dance from the shell across the air to nearby surfaces harmlessly. No noticeable sensation felt if they touch your skin.
  Somehow, the glow always seems to the most dense towards one side of the shell, giving the suggestion that's where this.. creature, is looking.

• Statistics

  (Based on DnD Stats)
  Strength (STR): 4 (Weak as a child)
  Dexterity (DEX):12 (Good dodge, above average fine manipulation)
  Constitution (CON): 5 (A medium blow might knock out)
  Intelligence (INT): 8 (Tween level intelligence)
  Wisdom (WIS): 4 (Childish lack of wisdom)
  Charisma (CHA): 5 (Friendly but blunt, poor at social behavior)

• Weapons

  - None Visible
  
  

  --Hidden Weapons--

  
  - Electric Shock - Able to deliver a low amperage, high voltage electric shock. Non-lethal, much weaker than a taser. Causes typical organic opponents to jerk away uncontrollably for just a second or two. Hurts the same as a strong static shock. Costs fatigue.
  - Plasma bolt - Fires a tiny chunk of her own plasma body at a target. Can cause fires to flammable materials or metals glow hot for a few seconds. Can burn flesh. Every shot comes at a cost of Solaria's own constitution. She's literally using up her own body with each shot.
  

• Abilities

  - ??? - Unknown specialty to be discovered
  
  General Starwisp Abilities:
  - Mimicry - Can repeat and learn most sounds in the typical sound spectrum including voices or sing.
  - Cloak (Invisibility) - A very poor quality effect of partly warping light around itself. Obvious ripples and distortions can be seen when it moves. In low light there is an obvious glow.
  - Telekinetic Field - Just over 1.5 meter diameter field all around Tiss can telekinetically manipulate everything around them using their invisible tendrils to fairly high precision. These are also what make their mobility possible.
  - Tethered Levitation - Appears to float in the air however all movement is achieved by the countless hair-like invisible tendrils of energy that give them the telekinetic field. These tendrils latch onto, or push off of objects, walls, ceilings, etc. This does not allow for true flight in the air. There must be things nearby to push or pull off of. Climbing up walls is effortless.
  - 360 Vision - 360 all around peripheral vision. Focused vision is roughly 90 degrees.
  - Craft crystal - Natural substance Starwisps create to build shells for their bodies and make tools. Silica (sand), quartz and similar silicone materials can be converted slowly into this material in which a Starwisp can craft into mundane items similar to a glass blower. Crystal details below.

• Diet

  Consumes sunlight/firelight, silicone, and other base elements out of the air. Unable to eat organic food.

• Special information

  *Below is other useful information for characters with special abilities or might have unusual interactions based on how things work such as:
  -Good sense of smell
  -Telepathy
  -Sense energy
  -True Sight
  -Field of sensation/Blind sense
  -Etc.
  
  

  --All other pertinent information. Spoilers--

  
  
  Movement/Telekinesis - The TK field around the starwisp although able to pick up several objects at once and propel the starwisp around with a near-soundless hover in the air, it has a rather small strength limit. If the over all strength limit is hit, everything held within the TK field is dropped and it will take a few seconds to reestablish it.
  
  Tethered Levitation - Tiss's plasma tethers are typically invisible, but occasionally characters may catch a glimpse of them if they are not actively hiding them. The tendrils resemble a plasma globe except much thinner, transparent, and longer. They grab objects using a combination of static friction and diamagnetism which works on virtually all materials. It will fail on surfaces that are magnetized or abnormally/magically slippery or incredibly smooth.
  
  Crystal Crafting - If given the time, starwisps can craft any solid object out of crystal so long as they have a supply of good quality silica (sand) or quartz at their disposal but the end product is merely glass/quartz with imperfections that make them look frosted with blotches of color similar to mother of pearl. The size and complexity of the end product would determine the time. For example:
  Guitar pick - 30 seconds
  Tiny 2 inch low detail ornament - 10 minutes
  Basic Drinking glass - 7 minues
  Glass Sword - 6 hours *It's still just glass, and thus will break down as fast as you'd expect glass would
  Specialized lock pick - 30 minutes uninterrupted time with dice roll for trial and error, needing to restart if failure *Crafting the pick is one thing, knowing how to use it is another. Solaria does not know how to lockpick.
  Life sized statue of a furre - 16 hours with prepared materials
  
  Senses - Tiss's senses are as follows:
  Vision: True 360 peripheral vision on both x and y axis, but focused vision is 90 degrees. They can turn their attention to any side of their body as fast as an eye would. Temperature is visual via infrared vision but it is not detailed enough to make out details of people in darkness, only rough silhouettes.
  Smell & Taste: Utterly lacks both senses.
  Touch: Can sense pressure and texture through their tendrils.
  Sound: Can hear sound through the vibrations picked up by their shell or tendrils the same as an ear.
  Proprioception: It's very difficult to make starwisps dizzy or confused about orientation. However if rendered unconscious or hit with a jolt, it may take time to right themself. Otherwise they have a constant unconscious awareness where their body, and tendrils are at all times.
  
  Cases of Magic - Tiss cannot use typical forms of magic, but is still vulnerable to it assuming they work on their unusual physiology. For example they have a mind, but nothing that quite matches a brain for organic creatures.
  
  Plasma body - Although Tiss's plasma body would make it a very bad idea for someone to stab them with a metal weapon or bare hands without a chance of suffering major burns, the damage is a two-way street. For every bit of energy, intentional or not, that a starwisp body burns something or someone with their plasma, they in turn lose that plasma that makes up their body, effectively starting to kill them. If they lose too much plasma they will die in a small explosion.
  Recovering from such 'injuries' is at par with a furre suffering major burns. Taking weeks to heal (make up for) lost mass. Like an organic body, significant damage will interfere with her natural functions, especially non-critical complex functions like dexterity, movement, etc.
  
  Magnetism - Tiss's body is very much like a miniature sun. What keeps the plasma in is intense self-contained magnetic forces that are localized inside her core. They cannot use this magnetism outside their body other than in the form of the tendrils they use to move around with. But this does make them vulnerable to powerful outside forces of magnetism as it will interfere with their own that keep their body intact. As such they avoid powerful magnets. The crystal shell does not help very much in keeping the plasma contained. It's purpose is to keep things from poking at their plasma body for both her own and others protection.
  
  Starwisp Species - Starwisps are a foreign species to Eleadora. Their origin isn't known by locals and a secret they seem to keep to themselves. They may not be even from this world.
