So far...Dragons, Familiars, Astrums, in that order.

I intend to edit more. We were initially in such a hurry I think we forgot we had typos and things.

So if things look a little different than the last time you looked... *waves* Hi. I'm just cleaning things up a little. MOSTLY grammar, although the Familiars I did have to rework a few things to make them make more logistical sense.

OF NOTE FOR FAMILIARS: I removed the size specs from the ranks because what the hell was I thinking, WAS I thinking? I don't think I was. Now each rank has been given some adjectives regarding its build relative to the animal it is mimicking, so let's take Linah's Meridian Zaziel (from whom I'm removing a Blue Mushroom mutation that was only added because Meridians were nonsense previously) as an example.


Zaziel takes the form of a mountain lion. Previously, he would have been about ten feet nose to tail. Now he's the size of an actual mountain lion, but the adjectives of rank belong to his build.

Meridian
***
Quietest of all Familiars, Meridians are the smaller of the lords, slender and lithe rather than bulky. Their patterns and colors tend to be subtle and desaturated, and they bear the least outstanding whimsical additions to their creature bodies. Their eyes are always a steady, unwavering silver. Meridians represent balance, moderation, and a careful lack of extremes. Extremes are dangerous, after all, and it’s always good to have some outside perspective. Sorrow for every joy and joy for every sorrow, as well as objectivity in the face of intense situations.


Now Zazeel is just slender and lithe, not MASSIVE.

Now you see why I don't need that mushroom and why this has been bothering me for so long. I finally tracked down the password to our Database. As it turns out, I actually had it the entire time, but I thought it had been changed. XD heron is not always a smart bird

So if you have Familiars that have been described out to the previous dimensions, I'm sorry! They may keep those dimensions or adopt the new ones as you choose. But even under the Illogical Field... this was too much.

Folks from Liminal Passages may note I left sizes out of the descriptions, I did so for a reason, and this is that reason. Your familiars now take on the sizes of the animals you were handed, thereabouts.

And going forward, Familiars should be much more user-friendly.
