Hehe! Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to tell the whole story. Worst case scenario, I think the first book will probably display everyone's story from thier own point of view (like each chapter will be each character's own point of view), since each character undergoes the story slightly differently and I can focus on the emotions each character had during thier short visit to Earth.

Yes, Sylvia, Kao, Starky, Kiara, Siberia, Zena, Soula, and Sandra are all external souls. Every other Starmaninjian, including the other deities, are either reincarnations of one of those original beings, or were created by them specifically for Starmaninja. This also explains why reproduction is so limited here. Every child born is just a reincarnation of the parents and since no one can die (because Soula will just rebuild thier body and put their soul back into it), children usually just end up becomming thier parents reanimated. Only those who are direct descendants of the Goddesses (by biological birth) are unique souls (like Wolfen and Rhozia).

Well, initially, Sylvia (the arch creator) was going to create the universe that ended up being named Starmaninja, but because she didn't really have any ideas of what to put in the universe, she decided to visit Earth to get some ideas. She chose the wolf form because it matched how she really looked the closest. During her stay there, nature forced her to breed with Kao (the wolf) to make 2 children, Kiara and Siberia. Because they had live children, they decided to dedicate thier life to protecting and helping the kids grow strong while Sylvia worked on mapping out the new universe for them to be safe.

Unfortunately, because the wolves all died prematurely (except Sylvia, who was the one creating the universe), the children had to take over and pick up where their mother left off. Kiara and Siberia decided that Siberia should be the one to design the universe because of her more modest personality and her peaceful nature, which she got from her father. Kiara stated that she, as co creator would protect it, and Starky designed the visuals and came up with things for them to do based on cartoons and adventures he had when he was alive. Sylvia eventually died of depression and was taken to the Starmaninjian universe by her daughters. She however was traumatized by losing everyone on Earth and it took about 10,000 years for her to really get over it, mostly because at the time, Kao was still a bodyless soul and couldn't form new memories (hence Kiara having to make a new body for him).

SO the Ratzu family owns the universe. Zena was taken in when she met with Sylvia on the way to the Starmaninjian Universe. Having the same wish and the same woes, they were able to relate and she was taken in about the same time.

Soula was taken into the Universe because the Scientist who shot Siberia happened to also kill Soula in his lab while she was pregnant with twins (because he wanted to see if Mice reacted to pain). Sylvia came across her too and after hearing her story, decided to take her in as the Grim Reaper to make sure no one so cruel would be able to walk in the new universe.

Sandra actually came way later, and in the modern times, getting into the Starmaninjian universe just requires approval from Kao, who serves as the gatekeeper for the Universe. (Which in a metaphysical way, is kind of what I'm doing here. XD)

To get into the Starmaninjian universe, you just have to be a respectful person. Long as you're not a jerk or insensitive to the Starmaninjian way of life, you'd be allowed to at least visit. Becomming a permanent resident is mostly based on how much you enjoy the universe's lifestyle.

Hehe, as for what it was like when I first started. Goodness that's like another paper in and of itself. To quickly summarize it for now: Starmaninja didn't actually become such until after I created and developed Kao (which came from my dad asking me if I have a wolf character inspired by Wolf Link from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, I was about 13 or 14 years old, just before 8th grade). Believe it or not, Kao was actually my fourth major character. Starky was third and was actually a fan character for Zelda, Drake Long was second and was a Paper Mario fan character (based on Hooktail), and Raymond Crystoya was my first character, based on Calvin and Hobbes (who I think I created and started darwing since I was about 9 years old). All the stories were disjointed and had thier own universes until I finally decided to make Kao and Starky siblings, which was the first time Starmaninja existed as it's own universe. I didn't start tying it all together until a few years later though.

As for the point where I REALLY started to make it a Universe and not just a "Video game I wanted to make in the future" was when I played Okami and fell in love with the story and concept and that happened when I was 18 and in college. (I also had a terrible mental break down that made me question the point of life because my future outlook was so terrible, I didn't think it was worth it to keep going. Spending my life being a slave to society and doing what other people want because my own dreams didn't matter at all. Thanks to a Christian Fraternity group I joined, I reopened my mind to the power of religion and hence the story of Starmaninja as told through Siberia and Kiara was born.)
