Character Name: Corwin of Amber Canon: The Chronicles of Amber
Familiar Name: Aldreda Species: Unicorn Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: Unicorns are the heraldic animals of Corwin's family, and in his canon the Unicorn is the living symbol embodying Order in the universe. More literally than that, his father is said to be the son of the Unicorn, so like... his grandma is a unicorn. Sort of. The name Aldreda comes from a medieval English name meaning nobility and strength. Special features: She radiates a sense of calm understanding, and just being near her can soothe anxiety and uncertainty. How do they communicate?: She is capable of speaking telepathically, however she mostly chooses to communicate through meaningful looks/gestures. Personality: Calm, graceful, strong. She has a firm sense of belief in people's worth, and is a good judge of character. Relationship with your character: Corwin respects Aldreda immensely. She has once allowed him to ride on her back when he was gravely injured, and he is forever grateful. The last thing he wants to do is offend her. Visuals: actual book cover from Corwin's series
Magic Magic Types: Kinetic & Blood Why did you pick these types for your character?: I chose Kinetic for the teleportation ability, mostly, as that was the type of magic which most closely resembled an item from Corwin's canon that he used rather frequently, which is a deck of cards that allows him to communicate with his siblings no matter where in the multiverse they are, and to instantly transport through space to their side. Blood I chose because of its potential offensive uses in battle. How does your character cast their magic? He uses his Kinetic magic through gestures and concentration, and the Blood magic he uses by... injuring himself, basically. How does your character feel about their magic?: He's fairly ambivalent about it. He's never been one to dabble in magic back home, leaving that to certain of his relatives, but he understands that here, one needs to use and train their magic in order to get by in this world, so that's the way he approaches it. Like any other skill to use when the time is right.
What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: He's pretty happy with what he's got, actually.
