OK. So what sort of summons would Bestia have? I'm struggling to come up with animals that would be on the same level as Elementals, Dragons, Spirits and guns.

Off the top of my head, I would think anything from mythology would be fair game for Bestia. Sphinxes, giant scorpions, minotaurs, etc.

You could probably make up some of your own but there are things like Manticores, Dire Creatures, Chimera... Couple of other things you could think like that probably. I think in a discussion (I'm not sure what the exact limits that Art wants are) but we talked about some limits of beastmen or the such. You could even use some craziness from Monster Hunter as an example if you really wanted. Fire Breathing Lions are always a bit scary.

Oh, I'm sorry...Eva is approved!

@Sanity43217
Mythical beasts are fine as long as they aren't out of your character's capacity to summon them. You can make something up...just nothing too human like a werewolf. It doesn't have to be a normal animal. Also, keep in mind that all summoning isn't necessarily for battle.

Summoning complexity is tied to both physical complexity and intelligence, right? Does one carry more weight than the other?

To frame the question; Summoning a database AI in a simple PDA or storage device: High intelligence but low physical complexity. Summmoning a surveillance drone that can both fly, walk, and record in various filters like Night Vision and Thermals but with basic pathfinding intelligence and not much else; Low intelligence, high physical complexity. Would they be about equal in difficulty, or would one be higher in difficulty?

In addition, would a mental link for Machina house members be some kind of direct input to the technology? Would their link allow them to interface and command directly, rather than using something like a controller or a computer?

@Crowvette
For House Machina, think of them as programmers and engineers who speak to their summons in machine language or whatever language the tech uses to operate (could be something alien). So for tech invokers, the intelligence would hold a bit more weight than the physical, though the physical does tie in.

Invoking a small drone or android would be easier than invoking a much larger one with similar capability. Invoking alien tech even on a small scale is much more difficult than invoking something that was conceived by humans.

Hmm, a question about house Bestia, does it only include fauna or also flora? While searching for monsters I found this fella

But I am not sure if he fits.

Cute. While I was making this, I was considering where plant-based creatures would fit. That little guy would pass for House Bestia. There are others that would probably be more for Phantasma...it really depends on the creature's origins.

@Vox
I just wanted to mention this funny anecdote. I was in the process of coming up with the mentors when you posted your first CS. I had two more to come up with...and when I read that you wanted Nera's parents to teach at the academy,I was like "well there you go". XD So, I put them in the list.

Haha hey, just saw that. Glad I could be of help! I could always help you flesh them out if you'd like, or if you'd rather have full reign of them I'd be perfectly okay with that too!

There will be a few mentors that I give a bit more attention to (if not all of them), so I'll let you do the honors of filling in the details since they're Nera's parents.

@Artifex - I've updated Nettle's CS to include her favorite summons. She's got about five right now, three of which are lesser in scope and two who have a bit more oomph in their latent abilities.

Came in to say hello.

I'll be bringing a fairly unusual character to this RP, I think. :D

I haven't written anything yet but I should have it done by the end of the day. Hope you won't mind having me

What's the energy source for the summons? Do they just drain the energy of their summoners?

Nettle is approved! Nice job!

@RoflsMazoy
Come on in...imma pack this RP full! XD

@Hammerman
I like her...Esther is approved!

And the summons are conjured by magical energy and are held by both the energy and the mind link (which are pretty much connected). Think of the summons having an invisible tendril attaching them to the invoker. The bond can weaken and strengthen based on energy level and/or mental state.
