Familiar 3 (The familiar draws the character's Essence to supplement its own life; the animal will not 
age or die until the character does.  3: A powerful or dangerous pet - a tiger or dire wolf - or an 
impressive and intelligent pet.  If the familiar is a small animal, it is as intelligent as a child of eight 
or nine years - it can fetch items and do chores, but it has no book learning and can be easily distracted.  
The familiar can communicate with you as well as if it were speaking by its noises, postures and 
expressions.  When it is touching your character, it makes an additional 5 motes of Essence available.  
This Essence is "stored" in the familiar but is otherwise treated as Personal Essence.  It regenerates 
only after your character has regained all his own Essence.  The character can share one of its 
senses when it is within 100 yards.

Look! Something pretending to be a background: They found me when I was very young. I heard rumors of them coming to my town, coming to see who they could steal. I never thought they would come after me, because although I thought I was special, I never told anyone, not even my parents. They came in the middle of the night and held my eyes open and told me that if I cried they would kill me too. So I watched my parents be tortured, then tied up and burned in their own home. There were a few other children taken that night, all of whom couldn't stand the terror and were killed. I sat in a windowless cell for a week without food until a light came when the door opened. An older man, wiser, kinder, came to teach me. I took to the sword like a fish to water. I loved practicing and training. Soon, however, some rose up against those in charge. My master was the first one to go down fighting those in charge, in the uprising, and right before my eyes too. I died inside that day, but still breathed, picked up his sword and fought on. The children eventually won, but the survivors were few. Most ended up insane for the rest of their lives, but I ran away from that hellhole. I escaped to the underworld to be picked up by another kindly old man. He patched me up and I worked for him after he made me "disappear" from the net. I learned of the underworld and helped him with the smuggling ring he ran. After many years, I grew into an adult and he retired. I picked up a good portion of the funds he left me and the last gift - a locket with pictures he found of my parents. It has brought me good fortune to this day. I left to find out what I was going to do with my life and ran into the remains of the Oracle company in the underground of Boston. Joining with them made me realize that there are worse things in the world that need to be dealt with than murdering conspiracies. I am part of the infiltration and information gathering team. I know I can be better with a sword, but ever since my master was murdered in front of me I fear to learn. His sword is still by my side and I know that someday I will fight on in his memory. Mara is decended from a Garda Bird, a type of fire elemental. Her element is fire which can either be a pleasant warmness or a burning bonfire of pain, like Mara's personality. Wish List
