Character
Name: Yuber
Canon: Suikoden

Familiar
Name: ???
Species: "Bone Dragon" (Dracolich)
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: Yuber has an ongoing connection with the dead/undead in canon and specifically summons the boss "Bone Dragon" in Suikoden II. His familiar in Avalon is obviously not said boss but is a homage to it.
Special features: The size of a large wolf but can grow to the size of a small building when Yuber is threatened. Can collapse into bones and separate her skull from the rest of her body.
How do they communicate?: She (usually considered "it" by Yuber) communicates in a dry, rustling, hissing voice but only to Yuber.
Personality: Tired, overworked wine mom
Relationship with your character: She is very rarely far from Yuber's side. She stays with him at the inn, sleeps with him at night and when he's out and about she's usually flying around nearby. She would love to spend some time away from him but every time she looks away he's picking fights, wandering off or trying to eat plastic.
Visuals: Bone Dragon Boss Fight

Magic
Magic Types: Healing, Death
Why did you pick these types for your character?: Healing is the magic type he'd want the least and imagining him as a healer is very funny. Death is actually one he has in canon. Not only can he summon and command the dead he mentions at one point he can speak to the dead as well.
How does your character cast their magic? Healing magic he mostly uses to augment his own strength. For Death magic he uses one hand, usually balling it into a fist, holding it near the ground and using it as his focus to call nearby bones to him. He's not experienced enough at Avalon's death magic to have the same control he did in canon. Yet. His conjured skeletons typically collapse after .5 seconds.
How does your character feel about their magic?: Death he is comfortable with and healing he hates except for the strength augmentation aspect.

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: Kinetic/Death for magic. ANY familiar is one he'd have a complicated relationship with.

Of course really he'd prefer not to have Avalon magic at all, he'd prefer his canon powers. Being human is driving him nuts.
Anything else?: nah

It very much amuses me that Yuber has tired wine Mum bone dragon looking out for her chaos son, whilst Caster is the tired wine Mum looking out for her chaos son bone dragon.
