A witches Familiar----
A familiar animal, in folklore, is an animal believed to be possessed of magic powers such as the ability to change its shape.
Each Familiar Animal is different. They may have more than one form they may assume at any given time. Once bonded to the Power Holder be it Witch, Warlock or Mage...They are able to be summoned, felt and linked via psychic connections to one another. The deeper the bond with the Power Holder the stronger the Familiar can become. The longer they are together as a bonded companion pair the stronger the bond its self becomes. This in turn can allow the familiar to share the Power Holder's life span. Should the Power Holder die the Familiar will die as well. If the Familiar for some reason is killed or dies the Power Holder will not die.
The Familiar assists the Power Holder with spells, rituals, ceremonies as well as gathering information and running errands for the Power Holder. For example they have been known to be sent to gather ingredients for potions and things for their Power Holders.
Human form-- The Human form is just that. It looks, feels and responds just as a human would. There are however enhanced senses. These senses depend on which animal form the familiar has assumed for its self.
Animal Form-- The animal form can be any animal that the familiar finds its self relating to most and assuming for its self. When in this form it has all the power, abilities and senses of the actual animal its self. I.E a tiger is a tiger is a tiger.
Middle Ground-- This is the form where it seems as if the familiar has become 'stuck' in between animal and human. It is only assumed when wished by the familiar or Power Holder, no one else can make the familiar assume this form. It is a blending of the human body and the animal like features. Example--Ears, tail, claws...etc
Biography:
-
Born in a small town the child of an unwed mother she was sent to the orphanage as an infant. Spending most of her life there until she was able to understand that something about her wasn't quite right. The darkness of the night was her friend, able to see better than any of the other children. Scents, sounds...Everything came easier to this little girl. Beauty was no stranger to her either...But it wasn't until her fifteenth birthday that she finally had to escape the orphanage. Leaving it behind to avoid being the bartering tool for more food and blankets to the sick man that was benefactor to the children. Sneaking out in the dead of night...That's when it happened. The first shift of form from just a pre teen into that of something massive, furry and deadly. A predator that wasn't supposed to exist...Now she searches, scavenging for a place to belong....Is this it?
With the new name of Desiree' she is now bonded to Sethos Sparrow. She will not betray nor leave him.
Long ago in the winter of 1880 outside London there had been a Carnivale camped and performing for a few weeks. The performers were all more of the variety you'd see in a simple 'freak show' instead of the usual clowns and things. Among them was an Illusionist and his 'assistant' whom he called Evelyn. There had been rumors swirling around the Carnivale for months that the Illusionist was sneaking around with the Ring Master's daughter which was forbidden on a variety of levels. However those rumors proved to be all too true one evening just before sunset when the pair were caught in her wagon. The Illusionist was dragged out so that the 'Council of Three' could judge him and pronounce sentence as befitting the Carnivale rules. He was stripped of his possessions and his place among the troupe, banned for eternity from their ranks. When they left the area the Illusionist and his assistant were left behind, the woman was simply guilty by association...However the Illusionist slunk away during the dead of night, leaving Evelyn on her own. No food, no money and no where to stay she was at a loss of what to do...So she turned to theft. Resorting to stealing food simply to survive the cold winter months. The hunger had gnawed at her for far too long and she was caught after making a mistake. Thrown into the stocks of the village where people ogled, stared and tormented her endlessly. Three days, three days she remained in that position having heard the sentence passed down by the Elders of the Village..She was to be hanged as a thief. Wait! Wasn't that rather harsh for simply stealing a bit of food?!
A bright light at the end of the dark passage...That's when Eron walked into her life. Rescuing her from that fate as he'd seen the truth behind her guise. Buying her out of the stocks and taking her to his home where he explained many things to her...She offered to 'bond' herself to him as a Familiar. He accepted and they have passed through the generations together....
Through the years she had remained at his side, always loyal and steadfast as any good Familiar should be. The tattoo of the Coven/MC was in between her shoulder blades about seven inches below the back of her neck. Lower right hand side of the abdomen bore the tattoo of a 'devil child' Sethos had thought it was cute and seeing as how she was rather devilish...Fitting as well.
But you'd think she'd be tired of him by now right? Sethos seemed to have moved on and left Desiree behind at the Outpost. Although the Fates smiled down upon the Familiar and a new Power Holder by the name of Strife Thompson appeared to accept the Familiar into his life. While he does not hold Magical abilities they have formed a bond and she will do anything necessary to protect him. Even at risk to her own life.

A Familiar's Book of Shadows---
[Hidden at all Times]
This is the book that contains all information regarding everything that is 'Familiar'. Emblazoned on the seemingly leather cover are the marks of various beasts. Paw prints, feathers, claw marks...bite marks. Within the covers of this tome are held secrets that could protect or harm the Familiar.
Basic Knowledge----
Power Holder's Life vs. Familiar's life--
Never shall a Familiar betray their Power Holder, should they die in battle their soul will immediately cross to the other 'path'. The life of their Power Holder is kept always and forever sacred and never to be put into danger by any means of their own.
Protection--
The Familiar will protect the Power Holder and those they hold dear at all times. No matter the risk to the Familiar its self. Never shall the Familiar shy away from battle on behalf of the Power Holder or one of his 'kin'.
Power Share---
The Familiar (Depending on Bonded Time) shares certain powers of 'Life' with the Power Holder. I.E= Should the Familiar begin to lose power not by their own means the Power Holder will lose power but at a substantially slower rate. If the drain on the familiar is continued for a long enough period of time the Power Holder will begin to suffer the effects as well. Should the Familiar die during this process the remainder of the "Familiar" spirit and power will force its self into the Power Holder's form.
These rules are absolute to the Familiar. None of them shall be broken as it is the covenant with their Power Holder. Any other secrets held within this book are guarded almost zealously by the Familiar that possesses the book. There are few copies of this script left...Only one is known to exist in the Nexus Universe...

- Always make sure you know what the price is, it will come back to haunt you.
- It will be paid, one way or another.
- The price can range from something as insignificant as the magical energy required to activate your magic, or something devastating, like your own life.
2 Magic often drains a person's stamina or mana; naturally, stronger magic puts a much greater strain.
- Magic is unpredictable, if one gets too creative or is interrupted in a crucial moment. Results range from amusing to annoying, but mendable, to destructive to lethal, to Catastrophic to Apocalyptic.
- Without the knowledge or proper skill, the intended use of a spell can create unpredictable or potentially dangerous results.
3 Society with knowledge about magic is likely to have Rules/Laws about its use, and areas of magic that are forbidden.
- Users are unable to use spells that are beyond their imagination.
- Using magic takes concentration and focus.
- In some societies, magic may be limited to a specific class or status.
- May react disastrously with Science Manipulation.
