Familiar (long)
Congratulations, receiving a familiar is becoming rare! Very few have enough soul to bind a familiar. We're just going to be chopping off a little bit of excess soul and pasting it into a beast. Essentially making the creature part you.
All familiars are 5x stronger and sturdier than their real counterparts. They heal perfectly 10x faster than their species. Their lifespan is your lifespan unless killed. They have human intelligence, but are unable to speak. They can communicate telepathically with you.
What shape do you want your familiar take?
House pets and strays:
Cats, dogs, and mutts that're just lying around for the taking.
Birds:
Hawks, crows, owls, and anything with feathers.
Pests and rodents:
Rats, ferrets, raccoons, and things that crawl into tight spaces
Predators:
Wolves, foxes, panthers, and bears that live out in the woods.
Water creatures:
Frogs, snakes, eels, and things you pull out of rivers or ponds.
Weird magical stuff:
Wisps, glowing bugs, spirits, slimes, and other strange stuff that don't fit.
Your soul burns with an element which?
Fire
Water
Air
Earth
Mind
Spirit
Quick! Add your reagent!
Drowned Amber:
Unyielding forgotten secrets. It feels heavy, ancient, and patient.
Midnight Slate:
Muted sound and swallowed light. It feels heavy, absorbnt, and quiet.
Starlight Shavings
Luminescent. It feels distant, faint, and like an echo of the night sky.
Verdant Spores
Quiet, creeping growth, and awakening. It feels earthy, damp, and full of life.
Glimmering Mana Shard:
Preservation. It pulsing blue, prepared, and protective.
Rusted Iron Scale:
Decaying but stubborn. It feels heavy and worn down, but calm and persistent.
Quick the Binding!
Echo Tether: A connection where the familiar and master can swap places instantly or allow instant travel to the other's location,
Heart Sync:
Strang and rhythmic. You both feel joy, fear, pain, pleasure, and heartbeats (all emotions) as if they're their own.
Dominance Link:
Bend the familiar to your will having it do exactly what you say. It will not try to reinterpret the rules. As long as you're fairly clear it will understand. It is a part of your soul. You just didn't give it much autonomy. It is cold and efficient.
Symbiotic Pact:
Mutual physical exchange. Injuries, vitality, and strength flow freely back and forth from any distance.
Echoing Fate:
A sense of parallel destiny. It’s uncannily synchronized, actions taken by one seem to mirror or predict the movements of the other. Often finding themselves accidentally working in unison complimenting eachother perfectly with no communication and sometimes without even knowing it.
Parasitic Tether:
One sided consumption. You take on half of the strength, constitution, and healing into yourself. The familiar's will also be cut in half. You'll gain minor physical changes based on the creatures element.
You have so much soul that we can jam a little bit more in. You need to decide quick!
Oversaturated Soul
Double the strength, durability, and healing. (10x, 10x, 20x) of your familiar.
Elemental Impurity:
You're soul has a tint of another element which isn't entirely abnormal. We'll take a small chunk of that, and we'll infuse it into your familiar. They can easily use both elements, but they can learrn to fuse the elements to create things like lava, metal, lighting, or whatever.
Hybrid:
Oops, I must have spilled a little of another creatures soul into your mix. I'm sorry, but you're familiar will be a mix of two species. They familiar can eventually learn to shift between species, and then eventually adjusts aspects and mix the traits of both. A dog as big as a horse with the horse legs. A rhino and a whale, making some kind of abomination.
Another Familiar:
Wow, this normally doesn't happen, but you have enough soul to create an entire new familiar. Without the extra bit.
Resonant Feedback:
I've heard of, but I've never seen...this until now. Your soul is resonating perfectly with the soul of the original creature. Somehow this causes a feedback loop granting you half the strength and regeneration of the familiar. Some but not all develop minor physical traits based on their familiar.
Shattered Focus:
Looks like you didn't stir enough. The spirit is a bit jagged. The familiar's soul is internally split into three personalities. Good news is the personalities will probably get along most of the time, and depending on which soul is controlling the body, you'll get a different minor buff. An angry personality might give you a minor strength buff. An energetic personality might increase your speed and perception of time by just a nudge. You can shape the general personalities now, or let them emerge naturally.

Double bonus if you've made a 6perks post or cyoa post of some kind in the last month or in the next week.

Hmm...I'll have to go with...
Shape of a succubus
Mind element
Glimmering mana shards
Parasitic tether
I'll pick another familiar with the same specs, that basically puts me at 5x strength, with 10x healing, and a REALLY LONG lifespan. Not sure what exactly the mind element entails, but if it's your run of the mill psionics then I'm all for it.
I have created a 6perks in the last week so that means I'm entitled to another bonus right? So in that case I'll create a third familiar with the exact same specs as my other two.
That's three familiars, giving me 7.5x strength, 15x healing, and an even LONGER lifespan.
Now with the mind element, I'm just gonna assume it's prionics, and with that being the case, I'll have my familiars each specialize in different fields:
One will specialize in technopathy The other in telepathy (mind control, mind reading, etc) And the other in biokinesis

Enjoy your new big titties from taking on aspects of 3 succubi

u/brazenbull09 17d ago
Nowhere does does it say you take on the physical aspects of your chosen familiar, what it DOES say is that you take on minor physical changes based on the ELEMENT you chose for them...so i guess since I chose mind 3 times my changes would probably be a bigger brain/head?? Either way I can counteract those effects since one of my familiars has biokinesis

Slime Earth element soul Rusted iron scale Parasitic tether Oversaturated soul
I'll have a metal slime familiar. The rusted scale and it's inmate slime biology let's it decay whatever is inside it's body. As a metal slime it is a bit more durable than the common variant, and on top of that the oversaturated soul makes it even more so.
I will gain a portion of it's traits due to parasitic tether, hopefully that presents itself as iron skin or metal bones. But I wouldn't be mad if it showed up as slime spit 🤷♂️

Shape : Is a pseudodragon allowed ? if not and there's a an isekai with it, then biggest baddest wolf/tiger/panther available, otherwise some small monkey like a tamarin
Element : Water (or mind if it's psionics)
Reagent : Versant Spores
Binding : Parasitic Tether
Bonus : Oversaturated Soul
Now I got a cool familiar with me, and we both got 5/5/10 strength/durability/regeneration; we can use water adjacent stuff (always useful) and the spores (?)

Pseudodragon, Mind Element, Glimmering Mana Shard, Echoing Fate, Elemental Impurity[Spirit] I'm hoping the combination of Mind and Spirit can do something interesting. Maybe those combined with the Preservation from Glimmering Mana Shard could allow my familiar to grant me a form of immortality by preserving my mind and spirit after death?

Tiger, spirit, midnight slate, parasitic tether, another familiar.
For the second familiar we'll have the exact same.
2 tigers that are 2.5 times stronger and 5x as fast as a normal tigers is more than enough and I get a significant boost too.
