Celestials - Stars with Sentience

(Art by Jamil Gonzalez)

I. What is a Celestial?

Celestials, also known as heliomorphs, are stars that have attained awareness, consciousness, and intelligence. How this occurs is a mystery—even celestials work tirelessly to understand, but it is clear that something within their massive, sustained fusion cores allows them to think. By virtue of being these massive wells of fuel, Celestials wield power on grand scales. Humans would compare them to Superheroes, or Olympian gods.

II. What Are Celestials Capable Of?

Heliomorphologists theorize that a celestial's breadth and depth of potential is fundamentally only limited by mass and psychology. From affinities, to moral codes, fears, and even apathy, a celestial’s mind is what primarily shapes a celestial's capacity. It is never impossible for a celestial to do something, but it would always be a wasteful investment of power to commit certain acts, like obliterating a planet, or altering the velocity of massive cosmic bodies. While Heliomorphs may exist on a physical scale the likes of which few others compare, they commonly operate on smaller scales to save energy and time.

The ways in which celestials interact with the world vary greatly. Regardless of the individual, a heliomorph, by nature, is capable of a number of abilities:

Projection - A celestial can create a physical form, or ‘avatar’, that their star will mentally inhabit. This can take any shape the celestial imagines, and power is channeled through their projected avatar.

Transformation - A celestial can change their physical projection at will through simultaneous ablation and reformation.

Communication - A celestial can easily learn the language of lesser beings, and translate their celestial tongue into words they can understand.

Vault - A celestial can move their avatar against the forces of gravity, allowing them to levitate and fly at great speeds.

Purge - A celestial can channel their celestial energy into a wide array of offensive attacks.

III. Celestial Entanglement

A heliomorphological phenomenon that underlies the nature of communication between a celestial and their projection.

The true form of a celestial is a star. At the core of every projection is a miniature version of the same star they came from. Sometimes, this glowing orb is hidden somewhere within their avatar's body. Other times, this core is vainly displayed in a visible location. No matter where it's located, this core is where celestial entanglement occurs, sending and receiving signals between host star and projection.

Celestial Entanglement occurs on certain frequencies, and can be intercepted. Some morphologists believe it is possible for lesser beings to infiltrate these frequencies, allowing them to communicate with celestials.

Not enough is understood about this phenomenon. Scholars spend thousands of years studying this marvel of celestial nature.

IV. Celestial Projection Culture

A celestial can either be communicated with through their star or their projection. The star is easy to locate, and communicate with, but communication this way is easy for the celestial to ignore; they rarely interact with the world from this vantage point. A celestial is more present in the perspective of their avatar. Celestials find it nearly impossible to locate one another in open space, making them a particularly lonely and bored group as a result. Social hubs have existed, but are so few and far between, that the concept of a "celestial society" is foreign to the wider majority. Not to mention the problem with bringing so many powerful beings together in a single space—conflict becomes inevitable.

Celestials tend to disregard the existence of others, filtering out much of the noise of the cosmos with apathy, until they encounter someone or something, either by chance or design. The meeting of two minds is known in broad celestial culture as a "convergence." A chance convergence can change the course of a celestial’s life in any number of ways.

V: Color and Mortality Culture

Each Celestial being naturally dons a demeanor that corresponds to their star’s color.

🔴Red: Consumed by thoughts of death, they either face their own mortality or have the potential to furtively outlive stars far more powerful than them.

🟠Orange: Gentle and pacifistic, they shy away from conflict and are typically compassionate.

🟡Yellow: Enthralled by their own egos, Yellow stars' personalities are shaped by their environment and interactions with others.

⚪White: Driven to take action, White stars wield their powers efficiently, making them formidable opponents.

🔵Blue: Unpredictable and sociopathic, Blue stars act on impulse without regard for consequences, even to their own detriment.

Throughout their existence, a star will experience various shifts in color, usually descending from blue to red. But all stars will eventually reach a red phase. It is often the case that a star born blue will burn through their energy stores, advancing to the red phase long before a yellow or orange dwarf ever finishes its own current phase. The lifespan of stars can vary widely, which affects how stars see one another. Whether they meditatively conserve energy or burn it all in a blaze of glory, celestials often judge the way heliomorphs of other colors choose to use their wellsprings of life and power.

VI. Conclusion

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, celestials exist as enigmatic sentinels that shape the very fabric of reality. Their immense power and unfathomable intelligence set them apart from all other beings, as they navigate the depths of space with a purpose that can transcend mortal comprehension.

And yet, even among these godlike entities, there exists a hierarchy determined by the size and hue of their stellar bodies. As celestials traverse the universe, convergences between these beings become pivotal moments that can alter the course of galactic histories. To align the will of a single celestial to the cause of any individual or group would be to hold the power of a godly entity in one’s hands, making them a coveted species of intelligence to curry favor with.

What could possibly occur if it were ever proven to lesser beings that celestials exist?

{ OOC / HC } Since it's spooky season, here's a rather spooky headcanon for you. As someone who's a programmer, that can also hack his way into various things. Rick has also taken it upon himself to hack into private files concerning the government.

It doesn't matter which government, Earthen or galactic, he's hacked into their systems and have obtained secrets that no one else (other than the officials) should know about. Which means, he knows a lot about top secret files, whether or not some conspiracy theories are true, about things these governments don't want their citizens to know about.

His favorite governments to hack, though, are the Galactic Federation and the U.S. Mostly due to familiarity and the fun of it.

He doesn't do anything with this information though. It's just something he does to satiate his own curiosity. As if he were diving into a rabbit hole for the fun of it. Plus, on the off chance that he's seen in the area, he can easily manipulate his way through given the secrets that he's become aware of.

The only government entity that he can't hack into is the Citadel. Not because he can't but because he has an unspoken truce with them. Given that it's a Rick and Morty operation and he already knows all there is to know about that. So it'd be useless information.

I was trying to figure out how I want to process the thing about how after the Jedi depose Daala, they take partial control of the Alliance government, which runs counter to Jedi ideals in multiple ways, and, like.

Them removing Daala and then leaving the office of Chief of State vacant would have meant instant victory for the Lecersen Conspiracy. Even as it was, Saba was theoretically sharing it with Treen and Jaxton, and the conspiracy would have won anyway if the Jedi had made their move, like, five minutes later.

From an extratextual perspective, it would be totally retroactive to say they were acting on the Force warning them about that, because I'm fairly sure that isn't said at any point in the books. But that is a thing that happens in the universe, and as a retcon, I think it would be worthwhile.

Not a perfect metaphor, but I think the fermi paradox and us coming up with solutions for it is kind of the interstellar equivalent of getting nervous because we didn't get a reply to our text within the minute and us therefore playing out and imagining a million different scenarios and solutions for why that is so, one more frightening than the other.

And in the meantime it's just that probably nobody has received our messages yet, because our radio connection is just so unbelievably slow, heck, our earliest radio signals strong enough to be sent to space barely just managed to leave like a bit more than around 100 light years, which is just nothing on a galactic scale?

Like right now I'm imagining some alien civilization that kinda knows about us existing but doesn't really bother much about contacting us yet, because you don't use their still unknown to us quantum or other bizare and unknown physics to us yet based Tumblr.

And additionally you might also count as an "this science we use for insta communication is actually bad for us!" conspiracy weirdo for prefering radio signals and deciphering those over that

He frowned.

Though he said nothing, his thoughts were shouting.

It had been too easy - too easy. They had fallen, these invincibles, fallen like book-villains, and he didn't like it.

Galaxy! When can a man know he is not a puppet? How can a man know he is not a puppet?

Hi all: I am back reviewing one of the books on Rosie’s list, and, on this occasion, I revisit an author whose horror had impressed me once before already. And he does it again. (The book will not be published until the 31st of October, so I hope you aren’t too impatient).

I want to be a professor but I’m stupid and my only work experience is as a breeding assistant and as a galactic grunt. How do I start?

first of all i would leave your involvement in any underworld conspiracies and/or terrorist organizations off your resume if you can.

from there most professors either go through college to get their masters in pokeology or fuck off into the tall grass for 10 years until they can call themself an expert

They are on its way back ! They already know this planet ,they don’t need a roadmap,nope. Sadly enough we are divided into the believers and the nonbelievers,and that’s not good for us.Regardless of our language and our culture, our physical appearance and our purposely denied evolution by them ,you need to be aware that they spliced and sliced our DNA,they took strands of genetic material to keep us from becoming the gods and goddesses that we truly are. I know you might be asking yourself who am I talking about. Well ,none other than our disgusting reptilian race , yes, the ones that today walk among us, shapeshifters and human flesh eaters.Those who are infiltrated in every branch of government of this world to make sure their complete agenda of turning us hybrid human race into a slave race and fodder. Well, we like to believe that this is all just pure poppycock ,nothing to be taken seriously,but the encounters between the military forces and reptilian forces due to the present building of tunnels crisscrossing the US hundreds of feet underground have been very real.So my friends ,we know of cases of people reporting seeing bipedal reptilian in the Mojave desert and the high sierras is nothing to joke about.The US Pentagon and CIA already know of civilizations that are so advanced we have coded type 2 or earlier ,please check the Kardashev scale .We are not even type 0. Well,friends ,know that every time you look at the night sky somewhere in the desert there’s already a path for those races that do want to destroy us and take over this planet. We must awake and be aware of what’s coming.Because the elites are building their underground bases as we speak and many already are built to house the US government and military. The disinformation machine is working against the clock to keep us ignorant and tagged to be sold to them. Words by Sergio GuymanProust.
