#but weve still got a month so its okay

tot men + familiars.

artem wing…

• …. has three cats, one black, one grey, and one smoke, as familiars. he adores the three of them to bits, and often takes them out on flights during the night.
• the black cat is a male, and he’s very calm, and likes to cuddle a lot with his siblings and artem. he names him asher, for he’s been the happiest since the three felines’ arrival. he’s also the oldest out of the three cats. he gets a bit chaotic when his favourite plush is in front, though.
• the smoke cat is a female, and she’s aptly named calixta, as her coat is a sight to behold. she’s very mischievous, often running around to bother her brothers, and often accompanies artem on walks because she likes spending time with him.
• the grey cat is also a male, and he’s named louis, because he always brings artem little leaves and flowers as his ‘hunts’. he turns them into dried flower bookmarks and deeply cherishes all of them. he’s somewhere in between asher and calixta, being calm at times but chaotic during others.
• a bonus; whenever the four of them nap together on artem’s couch, asher will always lay on his shoulders. louis is by his feet, and calixta has a permanent spot in his lap. the three of them softly purr a lot as they slowly fall asleep, and often sleep like they’re protecting him.

marius von hagen…

• …. has an australian shepherd and a bordercollie for familiars. they were both a gift from his older brother, on one of his birthdays, and have remained loyal to him ever since.
• the oldest out of the two is the border collie, named fleur, and she’s a really sweet girl ― one who won’t hesitate to walk up to you confidently and ask you politely for pets and head pats. she also likes running around and enjoys playing fetch with a ball that marius had specially crafted for her.
• the aussie shepherd is named nova, because she brings a new joy to his life everyday, and being a bit on the shyer side, she takes a little time to warm up. she adores going on walks and cuddling with her sister and master, and has this cute little blanket marius had knit for her that’s she’s really attached to.
• a bonus; the first time they met marius, they were so excited that they ran up to him and just tackled him down to the floor. he ended up spraining his wrist, but he says that it was worth it.

luke pearce…

• …. very obviously has his pet myna, peanut, as his familiar. it is very close to him, and comes along almost everywhere with him with ease and little to no difficulties.
• he gives it a lot of treats, and as peanut has been with him since a long time, he can understand it with just a tweet or a chirp that it makes, being able to differentiate between all the different vocalizations that peanut makes.
• it often rests on his shoulder or on the top of his head while he works, and and softly chirps at him whenever it wants his attention, be it because of food or to play. as mynas are highly intelligent birds and can talk and sing too, peanut sometimes talks with luke using words it has learnt from its surroundings.
• a bonus; luke once nearly had a heart attack because peanut cursed and wouldn’t stop at all. it look a lot of training (actually, bribing) to get it to stop screeching some very colorful words that it had added to its vocabulary.

vyn richter…

• …. has an albino rosy boa, who he found severely injured during one of his routine walks in the forest, and nursed him back to full health. he’s stuck by vyn’s side ever since.
• he’s named rue, because he often leads vyn to useful medical herbs and pretty flowering plants during their walks in the forest. he likes to sleep by the shade of the flowers and the leaves while vyn studies or collects them, and slithers along with him when he’s ready to move forward.
• as rue is cold-blooded, he really likes to nap with vyn, and often gently slithers around his neck and rests there. he plays with vyn’s tails by swaying along with and following their movements, and sometimes curls up in vyn’s lap like a house cat to sleep while he reads. if needed, he brings vyn some of his lighter books from his bookshelf, too.
• a bonus; rue often lounges on vyn’s furniture, and many a times, used to blend in with it. vyn once nearly tripped over him because he was laying on the white and pink carpet, and has since replaced all the furniture in his house to prevent any possible injuries to both him and rue.

a nxx occurrence; all the familiars are good friends with each other, and one can often find rue and the cats snuggled together, while peanut plays with the dogs, or vice versa. sometimes when both the cats and the dogs are resting, rue and peanut play together.

all seven of them communicate with each other quite well, and brag about their owners to each other every time they meet. they quite adore each other even if they don’t speak much about it.
