Notable Asterians include [[Princess Alice]], [[Princess Meredith]], and [[Supreme Leader Malice]]. The name ''Asterian'' derives from the Greek ''aster'', meaning "star". <<TableOfContents()>> == Incarnation and stellar adolescence == As a sacred rite of passage, young stars assume the form of a corporeal being and live among them throughout their adolescence. While several Asterians have come to Earth to live among humans, there are countless other Asterians living among countless other races throughout the universe. While their earthly incarnation represents only a small portion of a star's overall lifetime, the vast difference in timescale between human lifespan and stellar lifespan means that, from the perspective of humans, Asterians appear to remain adolescents indefinitely. For what it's worth, [[Princess Alice]] doesn't seem to mind repeating the eighth grade for centuries. == Abilities == Asterians are endowed with expansive supernatural power, seemingly able to manipulate reality at will. Some Asterians—well, mostly Princess Alice—have claimed to be literally '''omnipotent'''. This claim is, of course, impossible to meaningfully prove or disprove, which likely explains why Alice is so fond of it. == Asterians residing on Earth == === [[Centralia]] === * [[Princess Alice]] * [[Princess Jeanette]] * [[Princess Meredith]] === [[Discordantia]] === * [[Supreme Leader Malice]] === [[Zeoria]] === * [[President Theodora]] == Fictional Asterians == * [[Millennium (Stellar)|"Millennium"]] from the TV series ''[[Stellar]]'', speculated (but not confirmed) to be an Asterian
