Character
Name: Zidane Tribal
Canon: Final Fantasy IX

Familiar
Name: Moguo
Species: Moogle
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: Moogles are common fairy creatures in Final Fantasy IX that manage the post and serve as rest/save points. Spirited and helpful, they still have their own personalities. Also, if anyone's going to help Zidane manage magic, it'd be a moogle.
Special features: Somewhere on that fluffy body, he has a knife and knows how to sharpen it. Also, while he mainly will fly, Moguo is ridiculously fast.
How do they communicate?: While Moguo can actually talk, he more often says 'kupo!' which is a common phrase for all moogles (aside from one).
Personality: Though patient and helpful, Moguo is like his actual counterpart where - if bothered enough - proves to have a temper. He tends to think before acting more often than Zidane does unless ticked over the edge.
Relationship with your character: Like siblings that often butt heads, but they still care about each other at the end of the day.
Visuals: Fun reminder that Moogles in FFIX are about the size of small children (Zidane himself being 173 cm)

Magic
Magic Types: Kinetic and Bargaining
Why did you pick these types for your character?: Kinetic is probably actually the closest to what would be Zidane's 'magic' in-universe since it's more about pure energy than any element. As well, his speedier nature in both action and thought lends better to manipulating the space around him. As for Bargaining, he's a talker that somehow regularly allies himself to many types of people, social standing or species notwithstanding.
How does your character cast their magic? Zidane's actually subtle when it comes to casting his magic unless it's levitating/stalling something obviously. Part of his nature; he'll even use distraction tactics for his advantage.
How does your character feel about their magic?: He likes it! A pleasure to have it, but he makes sure not to be overly reliant on it. He's only really lost the abilities to use his skills from home, but he's naturally got a stupid high endurance due to his weird nature and still befriends people/creatures without making contracts, and honestly, isn't that better?

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: He'd probably prefer a chocobo, but it's fine. He'd also be cool having Healing or Elemental Magic, but is fine with what he has again.
Anything else?: I would find it hilarious if Zidane never actually develops his Bargaining magic beyond the basics and just has creatures at his call through the power of friendship. Like geez...
