*Author's Note: I would love to see what characters are created with this race mod, so please upload screenshots of your characters! :)
I spent many hours on this race mod, there's 108 hairstyles, 35 eye textures and textures for every available body option, vanilla and community made in 4 different resolutions. This is the last mod I will ever make for Oblivion, so I wanted to make sure I catered to as many of you as possible. I am looking forward to modding Skyrim!
Any screenshots, comments, constructive criticisms and endorsements, any feedback at all, is very much appreciated, by giving me feedback you let me know what I've done wrong and what I've done right, and this motivates me to mod more.
I hope you have fun and that I put a smile on your face. :)
Many thanks,

Description:
=================

The Star Orphans, also known as the "Magna Ge" or the "Children of Magnus", are lesser Aedra that reside in Aetherius. They are the spirits that followed the god of magic, Magnus, to Aetherius, the holes they tore in the fabric of Oblivion are the stars. Like the lesser Daedra, the Magna Ge are immortal spirits that instead of serving the Daedric Princes, serve the Divines, who send the Magna Ge to Mundus as their agents if they believe the mortal plane to be in danger. Being the spirits of Aetherius, they have divine powers in the arcane arts, seen by their radiating glow of power and energy. When in the mortal plane, however, they are physically very weak, using their magical powers to either enhance their physical abilities, or to smite their enemies. They are as noble and graceful as the Divines themselves.


=================
Details:
=================

Vanilla Male, Vanilla Female, Robert's Male, Robert's Female, BAB, FF, Exnem, HGEC and TGND are all supported. The textures for these bodies and the head come in 4 resolutions:

Low Resolution (512x512)
Medium Resolution (1024x1024)
High Resolution (2048x2048)
Ultra Resolution (4096x4096)

You must download the head texture pack for this mod to work. By default the vanilla textures are used for the body. If you use a body mod please download it's texture pack. Then install your preffered resolution of the head and, if downloaded, body textures. I recommend using the same resolution for the head and body for best results.

108 hairstyles to choose from, ranging from Ren, Corean, Throttlekitty, Coolsims and Cazy. You must download the hairpack you want to use from the files here to be able to use it.

35 eyes to choose from, 8 of which are brand new made by the talented InsanitySorrow, the rest are made by Flonne. All use the Elaborate Eyes mesh and glow.
