Bonding Process Suggestion

Out of character, you will need to purchase your character's Companions through the Bonding form, or receive them for free with an in-character post. In character, this is a possible method a character might use to bond with a Crystal Afflicted Companion; it is not mandatory to follow this exact process though, so if you have another idea please feel free!

Initial Contact:

  • Locate Companion; they are often wandering alone in a natural environment away from bright lights and loud noise.
  • Approach slowly and calmly, speaking in a soft, soothing voice. Sudden movements may startle them.
  • Allow the Companion to investigate you and pick up your scent. Moving slowly, offer a small gift of crystals or shiny objects.
  • If they accept the gift, sit nearby and meditate. Avoid direct eye contact initially.

Building Trust:

  • Visit the Companion daily, repeating the initial contact routine. Bring small food gifts to encourage positive association.
  • After some time, the Companion will come closer and allow you to gently stroke them. Focus on areas around crystal clusters to soothe them.
  • Meditate with a focus on aligning your vibration with the Companion. Syncing energy is key for bonding.

Deepening the Bond:

  • Engage in meditation together. This synchronization establishes the telepathic link.
  • The Companion will eventually communicate through images, emotions, and short phrases.
  • Once the Companion fully trusts you, they will share a crystal from their body as a bonding gift, allowing you to finalize the bond.
    • These crystals are often worked into jewelry, which the bonded partner wears to show the connection to their Companion.

CRYSTAL AFFLICTED COMPANION LEVELING

Capabilities & Difficulties: Most Companions with this Affliction will follow the progression path outlined below, however, as long as you stay within the bounds of your Companion's current level and purchased talents, we allow for some flexibility in interpretation. The capabilities and difficulties are those that all Afflicted of the appropriate level may have access to -- not every Companion will be extremely proficient in every Capability, and not every Companion will be affected as badly, or in the same way, by a Difficulty.

Level 0 [0 Shards]

At Level 0, the Crystal Affliction manifests as a raw and unbalanced connection to crystalline energy. While the Companion displays glimpses of unique beauty and intuition, their fragile state and dependency on external energy sources make this stage as much a burden as a gift.

Capabilities:

  • Fleeting Harmonization: The Companion has a subtle and instinctive ability to harmonize with nearby energy fields, such as the ambient environment or emotional states of others. This might calm mild conflicts or make the Companion slightly more approachable, though it remains unpredictable and uncontrolled.
  • Glimmers of Intuition: Through their bond, the Companion occasionally transfers faint, instinctive warnings to their partner, such as a fleeting feeling of unease or clarity moments before an event occurs. These sensations are vague and unreliable but can sometimes provide a critical edge.

Difficulties:

  • Fragile Form: The Companion’s crystalline body is physically delicate, making them more vulnerable to injuries and slower to recover without direct access to crystalline nourishment.
  • Light Sensitivity: Bright or reflective light can overwhelm the Companion’s senses, impairing their ability to act effectively in high-exposure environments.
  • Energy Dependency: The Companion relies heavily on crystalline energy sources to sustain themselves. Prolonged deprivation weakens them significantly, resulting in lethargy or dulled abilities.

Quirks & Cosmetic Changes (optional):

  • Faint crystalline motes occasionally flake off the Companion’s body and dissolve mid-air, hinting at their fragile form.
  • During moments of stress, faint ripples of light pulse along their body, as if the crystals are resonating with their emotions.
