SOLAR MANIFESTATION (SU) 1ST LEVEL
Only you can interact with your solar manifestation, whether in mote, armor, or weapon form. No other creature or effect can affect your Solar Manifestation in any way, including disarming or sundering it. STELLAR MODE (SU) 1ST LEVEL
When in battle, you enter a state of metaphysical alignment with cosmic forces. At the start of your first turn in combat, if you are conscious, you must choose one of three stellar modes: graviton, photon, or unattuned (see below). At the start of each subsequent turn of combat, you must choose to either stay in your current stellar mode or to become unattuned. If you choose to stay in your mode, you gain another attunement point for that mode. As long as you have 1 or 2 attunement points in a mode, you are attuned to that mode. Once you reach 3 attunement points in a mode, you become fully attuned to that mode. Some of your stellar revelations are zenith Revelations, which can be used only when you’re fully attuned to one mode or the other. When you are fully attuned, you cannot gain more points in your mode, but you stay fully attuned until combat ends, your stellar mode ends, or you become unattuned. If you choose to become unattuned, you lose all attunement points you’ve accrued so far. At the start of your next turn, you can enter a new stellar mode or stay unattuned. At the end of combat, your stellar mode ends. If you fall unconscious during an encounter, you become unattuned. If you regain consciousness while still under threat, you can enter a stellar mode on your first turn after regaining consciousness, as if it were the first round of combat; if combat ends before you regain consciousness, your stellar mode ends. If you are not in a stellar mode, for any reason, you are considered unattuned for the purposes of your stellar revelations. When you’re not in combat, you can’t enter a stellar mode. This ability manifests only in high-stakes situations, when your training takes over and connects your mind to the universe. There needs to be some risk to you for your stellar mode to activate, so you must be facing a significant enemy. If there’s any doubt about whether you’re in combat or able to access your stellar mode, the GM decides. This also means that your stellar mode might end before what was previously a dangerous battle is over, once all that remains are dregs that don’t pose a real threat to you. Graviton Mode When you enter graviton mode, you gain 1 graviton attunement point and become graviton-attuned. Some of your stellar revelations are graviton powers and get stronger if you’re graviton-attuned. While graviton-attuned, you gain a +1 insight bonus to Reflex saves. This bonus increases by 1 for every 9 solarian levels you have. Photon Mode When you enter photon mode, you gain 1 photon attunement point and become photon-attuned. Some of your stellar revelations are photon powers and get stronger if you’re photon-attuned. While photon-attuned, you gain a +1 insight bonus to damage rolls (including damage rolls for your stellar powers). This bonus increases by 1 for every 6 solarian levels you have. Unattuned While unattuned, you gain no attunement points and you are neither photon-attuned nor graviton-attuned. You gain no benefits while unattuned. STELLAR REVELATIONS

Background:
Valius was born on Absalom Station, or rather on the Armada ship that his parents were part of the crew, The Spiraling Flare. Growing up a spacer, he ofter n helped his parents keep the ship from falling apart, amassing an impromptu education in the workings of space ships and basic engineering skills that he still carries with him today. But every day he would gaze out the solar shielded window as the sun, and feel a calling deep in his heart. His parents Sarenites, he zealously engaged in the readings and the annual pilgrimage to The Sun was always an occasion of joy.
On his twenty-first pilgrimage to the The Sun, the ship was caught in the wake of a solar flare that sent it careening high above the orbital plane of the system. For weeks and weeks the dozen remaining members of the ship, Valius included, painstakingly did everything that they could to survive. All the while Valius himself had to wonder why the Dawnflower would cause his family pain like that. His final conclusion was that this was a test of his faith. When he left the ship on a space walk for repairs and was thrown off to fly through the darkness of space, he prayed. That faith was rewarded as he found himself in possession of a solar mote, changing it into a brilliant yellow scimitar that managed to be the beacon that allowed his crew to find him and bring him home. It has been over a year since then, and he feels that his gift has purpose more than being a solarion, but by being a warrior for Sarenrae's sake, to seek out evil and either bring them into the light, or crush them under the gravity of his sun. To that end, he decided to start his career with the Starfinders, knowing their reputation as explorers and having a letter of introduction from his parents' captain. |
