MYSTERIOUS MAGIC

This page did not change in the transition between versions 2 and 3.

General
Felines are commonly understood as being endowed with a certain amount of inherent magic that binds itself with them and works in involuntary tandem. At times of great need, this magic exerts itself by twining about one’s life stream and force feeding it with power to boost energy and spirit. At Pangea’s Rising, the magic integrated with the feline’s every breath was torn out from their minds to feed her own hunger for the craft. Unfortunately, something happened which even she could not predict. The magic retained the personalities and quirks of its owners, and combined together in a stunning flare of the arcane and the archetypical. Blending together, the magic created an infusion of identities for themselves, and against all odds, held their own against Pangea’s wrath. These spirits recognized the source of their new-found sentience as the magikal felines, and sought to protect them, their greatest burden and gift.

Spirits
Liam
Formed of the esoteric thoughts that came of love and life and hope echoed for all eternity, you might call him the essence of good personified, if one could say such a cliché thing without the gagging. But there are other sides to Liam that accompany his care and concern, for though he is not mortal, he is doomed to mortal folly as were his makers. He would make for a peaceful co-existence, but his most major burden remains a quiet insanity that is present in everyone, and explodes into malicious being when uncalled for. Liam itself means Unwavering Protector, and true to form he takes the utmost care for his clan cats’ wellbeing. Liam takes shape for mortal minds in a deep shimmering purple and a soft gentle hazel. Liam grants Eden's Institute powers of healing.     

Keiran
Awakened when the grim contemplations of death and darkness and pain took to the world, Keiran might have been the opposite of Liam, but that he too came with those minute contrasts that were born from earthly faults. Keiran requires his denizens to be worthy of him, and exonerates those who have served him well, shedding blood and making mayhem. Keiran favors the elite, the powerful and the best, for he himself has a driving sense of superiority. Keiran means Dark One, and not for naught has he been titled such. A much harsher and deadlier guardian than Liam, one must be careful when treading about him. Keiran ascends his throne in swirling crimson and shadowed emerald. Keiran grants the Midnight Illuminati black magic.

Martin
Alone, solitary and enigmatic, not much is known about this desert warrior, but that he takes vigor from the strength of the rebellion. Most powerful of the spirits, and inclined to granting gifts of fighting prowess to his champions, he is surprisingly neutral about which target he elects to pare down to size. Martin means Warrior, and is the most blank and distinctive adjective for his personality. The very epitome of a rebel, he prizes most spirit and excellence in battle, and enforces triumphing in combat as an essential principle to life. The desert oases see him as jeweled sapphire and glittering gold. Martin grants all rebels the power of enhanced prowess.

Faris
Essentially a lesser being in nature, Faris was elected by Keiran and Liam to head their orders in certain trust that he was nonaligned and disinterested in the political wrangling of the greater specters. Like those long-ago tin-men he believes in honor and glory for the greater good, including the prevention of all out war that would affect the general populace. Faris means Knight, and will uphold that tradition. However, held to ransom by Liam and Keiran, he must also use any means possible to keep the rebels from their lands for them to continue their feud in peace. Since then, he has undertaken spying and mercenary works in an attempt to infiltrate the rebel base. Given the chance, he will undermine the rebels and crush them to the ground, which leads to an intense dislike from Martin.

Lesser Spirits may be researched upon at their separate lands.

Familiars
In one word, a friend. Though spiritual in nature, if given one, your spirit will embody it with power enough to materialize, and then will it aid you in your daily life. Anything from a bat to a scorpion, they all are ranged around the same strength and experience, differing only in their physical appearance. Familiars are sentient and may converse with their feline through rudimentary telepathy which changes from one to another. Some use pictures, other music or written language, but there is no communication barrier between such pairs.
