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.
