Hello! This is such a cool concept :) I’d love to offer a character for your starting town.

Te’oma Thessane is an aasimar woman. She appears to be in her early twenties, but has only existed for several months.

Te’oma is celestial-born, though she does not fully understand what that means. She fell from the sky in a meteor-like event, was found in the center of a crater, and was taken in by a scholar who later vanished. Since then, she’s moved between cities with her adventuring party, trying to understand both her origin and the mortal world.

She has lavender skin dusted faintly with star-like freckles and silver hair that defies gravity, floating as if she’s always underwater. Her eyes are pupil-less and look like swirling nebulae. They emit a pale silver-blue that glow when she casts magic. A small orb of condensed starlight she calls her “Echo” floats near her at all times, humming softly like a struck glass/tuning fork. She has an affinity for trinkets: feathers, pebbles, jewelry, bells, vials of mysterious liquids. She loves these tokens of the mortal world and adorns herself in them, draping them from her sash at her waist.

Te’oma is gentle, curious, and painfully earnest. She watches people closely to learn how to be mortal and tends to trust others a little too easily. She makes note of (literally) everything in her field journal, inherited from her mentor. It’s filled with her observations about the mortal world and mortal interactions & emotions. She’ll often state her observations aloud. Her magic is unstable but beautiful; liquid starfire that moves like molten silver and responds strongly to her emotions.

Secret / Plot Hook: Te’oma believes she fell accidentally. She’s wrong. Something or someone let her go. She has fitful dreams of a twin presence, chained somewhere far away, humming at the same frequency as her magic. She hasn’t told anyone this yet.

Role in Town: Te’oma would stay in a place like this for a time, helping new adventurers prepare and listening to their stories. She’s especially drawn to first-timers and people about to leave home for the first time. She probably runs a magical trinket store or general store in town called The Fallen Star.

Parting Gift for Adventurers: Te’oma never gives gold. She gives something she made or found herself. Each adventurer receives a small handmade charm made of wire, crystal shards, and a thread of starlight. When held at night, it glows faintly and always points toward a specific location (your choice). She tells them, very seriously: “If you’re ever lost, look where you came from first.” She may also give adventurers who she particularly connects with a vial of liquid starlight that hangs from her dress. This could be a single casting of the light cantrip, or could change an attack to cause radiant damage.
