STARWHALE

STARWHALE IS A CHARACTER IN THE CALAMITOUS CAMPAIGN

Abilities:
All starwhales produce a strange type of wave that is capable of traveling through the vacuum of space in the form of “songs”. Do not question this, it is the magic of whales. In the wild this is used to communicate between pods and individual starwhales, with the songs reportedly being audible on the far sides of galaxies when entire pods perform together. The rare occasions in which starwhales visit terrestrial ground inevitably end in horrible disaster: the same properties that allow the waves to be audible in space cause massive amounts of damage to physical matter, essentially atomizing everything in their path. A careless pod of starwhales can easily devastate small planets; a single one on its own can produce a “beam” of song that travels the lengths of solar systems. Naturally this costs the whale a lot of energy, and can’t safely be repeated in quick succession. Destroying planets is also something of a faux pas among starwhales and it is considered polite to avoid doing it whenever possible.

Starwhale is immune to the effects of gravity and normally maintains a floating height of fifty feet when planetside. His “true” voice is perceived by lesser beings as something akin to telepathy, though due to his size IT IS VERY LOUD AND YOU CANNOT IGNORE STARWHALE SO PLEASE STOP TRYING. Not many obstacles are capable of standing in Starwhale’s way, mostly because he is large enough to crush them without noticing.

Description:
Vaguely resembles an Earth humpback whale, only more streamlined and a calming celestial indigo in color. Starwhale’s hide is speckled with millions of unevenly glowing lights that may or may not resemble stars. Somewhere around 100 ft in length, Starwhale would weigh over 200 tons if he ever landed which he will not.

Having come from a rigidly structured society, Starwhale is concerned about maintaining order and gets very distressed when the members of his pod do not act in accordance with their roles. Starwhale does not approve of rebels or rebellious actions and if Starwhale had his way you would all be ordered into neat lines and arranged by size, color, and preference of beverage.

Biography:
STARWHALE WAS BORN IN A POD OF MANY STARWHALES WHO LOVED AND CARED FOR STARWHALE AND THEN LEFT TO FORM A POD OF OTHER STARWHALES AND THEN WAS PULLED AWAY AND IT WAS VERY RUDE STARWHALE DOES NOT THINK THIS WAS A GOOD WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION
