Star Father

A Star Father is created when a practioner attempts a big ritual and it collapses. If the spirits inside are powerful enought to be intelligent it gains sentience similar to a ritual incarnate.<ref>“Rituals tend to involve spirits, and a big ritual involves a lot of spirits. Spirits that, to varying amounts, are aware or capable of responding to prompts. More so when there’s more. If a practitioner tries to do something too big, then there’s a chance it collapses. And if it collapses and there’s enough intelligence among the forces inside? It can gain an awareness. Like a ritual incarnate, but, hmmm, singular. Personified with more person.” - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref>

Nature

Normally when created other forces such as innocences or Judges will attempt to push back agaisnt it. To escape this pressure they will often seclude themselves in another realm.<ref name=":0">“Most of the time, when a ritual goes bad like that,” Avery murmured, “the Star Father or Star Mother or Star Parent will recognize that Innocence and the other forces of the world around it, like Judges and Lords, will push back, senses that resistance, and puts power into secluding itself in a pocket world or escaping into some convenient realm with a lot of elbow room. Sometimes they’re places between realms, the gaps when two adjacent realms don’t fit well together. But the Paths are a pretty convenient option too. I guess Charles alleviated the pressure and gave her a spot with the elbow room she needed.” - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref>

Some times appear on Paths.<ref>“There are some Star Fathers on a Path I read about,” Avery explained - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref>

Abilities

Capable of creating and then destroying minature universes.<ref>The Star Mother carried on creating mini-universes where the small figure was a localized god, they’d bloom like flowers around her, and then collapse just as easily, the contents recycled and carried forward. - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref>

Notable Examples

One of the Lords created by the Carmine Exile was a Star Mother that returned after to released the pressure against it.<ref name=":0" />
