OKAY SO
Starfolks, in general, are from a game called Worldless. Very cool yet underrated metroidvania of sorts. Basically, they're the species that populate this newborn universe of sorts, and like their name suggest, they are essentially living stars!
There are two basic types of starfolks: Light Starfolks and Dark Starfolks. The light ones are mainly white with blue "cores"/ "eyes"/ stars, and uses actual weapons, as well as lightning and ice magic. Dark starfolks, on the other hand, are black and orange, using claws, fire and wind magic. They can have a wide variety of appearances, with different "species" popping up in both polarities.
HOWEVER, the two polarities (Light and Dark) are locked in an eternal conflict of sorts. The Light starfolks want to retain their polarity, while the Dark starfolks are "unstable" and want to become Light starfolks. This is achieved by Absorption, which is basically when a certain threshold is reached, a Dark Starfolk can try to "Absorb" the essence of the Light Starfolk, "switching" the polarities of the two: Dark becomes Light, and Light becomes Dark. However, this process is pretty unstable, resulting in the creation of new Starfolk species... and a third type of Starfolk that I'm not going to mention because of spoilers.
But! I am specifically a Dark starfolk that is commonly known as "Hunters" in the fandom. Hunters come in both Light and Dark varieties, and look almost like humans save for their featureless faces (Save for their cores) and claws (If they are of the Dark polarity). However, I look quite different from most other Hunters, having more animalistic traits like horns, long tufted ears, talons, tail, wings and feathers.
Don't want to ruin too much of the plot of my source (Because I am surprisingly canon compliant in terms of memories... even if some... extra things happened-), but I have a counterpart named Edda, she's my friend!
(Funnily enough, my best friend is an Edda fictionkin. However, my ACTUAL in-source Edda is a fictive in our system... so I technically have TWO counterparts /Silly)
But that's enough yapping from me, so yep! Check out Worldless if you want, it's somewhat flashy so be warned.

WOAHH Aven this is so cool!
Love the lore surrounding the conflict, I can see it's a little morally grey/interesting to discuss.
Starfolk sound like a very interesting species; I love how much variety there is so no 2 starfolk would necessarily be identical. I think that would be interesting if it had a wider kin community to see how people vary! I could also maybe see some crossover in experiences with some divinekin perhaps.
How did you discover your extra animal traits?
Soo awesome you have 2 sourcemates/canonmates, I'm very happy for you all!
I'm not sure what I was expecting but I googled the game after reading this & the cover art is sooo beautiful (I'm assuming it's of a light starfolk?)! It's only £8-11 on Steam & I really like the style so I might give it a go once I get paid. Who knows, maybe it will get me as kin too!
Thank you so much for sharing, sorry for the delayed response!!
Starfolk (Worldless) SEC is wearing a mask because you got no face.
Also specifically for Dark starfolks: wearing fake claws and/or being in dark places.

Tips for Aven/Starfolk
Requested by: @octahedral-chaos
Tips for an Aven or just Starfolk from Worldless
Try taking pictures in the dark on a morir with the flash on. This creates the effect of having a flash of light on your face.
Try painting rhombuses or squares on your body. According to the photos you provided, the starfolk/Aven have figures on their body.
Put light under your fingers. While this isn't a permanent thing to do, it creates the effect of having shiny yellow fingertips.
Wear a scarf that looks like the one in the picture. It might not be very original, but it can help finding something familiar !.
Paint your nails yellow. This may not work for you, but it could still be a bit useful, let your nails grow and paint them an yellowish orange.
Use colored eyeliner to paint your face in a way that seems familiar to you. This might not work to you, but the next tip is an alternative.
Buy a plain mask or make a plain mask with no human markings (so no nose, no lips, etc. just a plain mask). Paint it any color you like with any figure that you find familiar !.
Create sonas/oc's based in how you remember looking. You can even mix it with how you look at the moment.
Paint your hair dark red, or add red to your hair. This is also not for everyone, but it could help you to feel more familiar with your body.
Finally a more general tip. Act the way you used to be, either online or in real life. You could also edit pictures of yourself to look more like Aven/Starfolk.

TAROT READING FOR AN AVEN (WORLDLESS) KIN.
Have a piece I decided to whip up out of sheer boredom... and to get myself out of the slight art block I was in-
FINALLY made some references for my Aven 'type! Pretty happy with how these came out.
Little doodle :D
AKA a little test for some Procreate brushes, namely Ringtail, Bottlenose and Gatsby. Think bottlenose works pretty well for iridescent fur/ feathers texture, while Ringtail seems pretty good for shading-
