What I did for my 4e Star'Lock:
Makes a nice living casting horoscopes and telling the legends in the stars and merging astrology and astronomy. (With a very high CHR, he could have m/c'ed Bard if he wanted to - Perform (tell Epic) rather than (Sing) or (Music) or (Dance).)
I re-wrote the 'fluff' on his powers to somehow involve physical aspects of stars or planets or the cold / vacuum of deep space. His big zone L5 power I adlib-described as seeing Jupiter swoop in via a planar portal and the Great Red Spot swelled up before your vision; the great swirling mass seems to suck up objects (like my enemies) like a Hoover Sweeper.
L1 encounter power: Everybody knows the stars are burning coals in the sky, but you can prove it: you bring a bit of that flame across the crystal spheres and touch your foe's skin alight.
When he had to persuade an orc chieftain to betray his overlord, he claimed that the Hand of Gruumsh was pressing upon him, blotting out his patron of the stars. Divine power compelled him to use the gift he had (his tongue) as Gruumsh now bade: to speak words which, coming from an orc's mouth, would be treason - but which all servants of Gruumsh knew nonetheless were true!

Think of the quintessential hippie who thinks that the universe is talking to us and telling us how to enter the Age of Aquarius. And now give him the powers to suggest that he might be correct.

My wife's Star Pact warlock is a bit creepy, tends to space out, and in her 5e conversion has fun things like vicious mockery where she whispers secrets to the target and it damages their mind.
She can also be cryptic, and sometimes has trouble keeping a solid hold on what is real, and has some fairly mild body disphoria from the fact that her pact changed her hair and eye color, and imprinted an arcane sigil onto her skin.
She's a bit like Druscilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is Dru was a good person.

My 4Ed starlock belonged to a Dwarven clan that had taken it upon themselves to fight incursions from the Far Realms at every turn. In particular, HE believed in fighting fire with fire. He learned the ways of that path in order to keep the worst of the Far Realms beings at bay. He also multiclassed into psion, for similar reasons. As such, he was a bit on the serious side.
...though he did have a thing for dance and steel drums.
