SAIRINA ARANDUR

( "Magic Servant" in the Elven Language )

by Harry S. Creter Jr.

APPEARANCE: Sairina has 3 separate forms.

1) That of a black short haired house cat with a stripe of white fur running horizontally across his left eyes ( His natural and most commonly used form).

2) That of a large winged panther also with a white stripe horizontally across his left eye, big enough to use as a mount should the rider be a bit on the small side ( An elven rider, average sized human female, or a small lightweight human male, etc. ) Also useful for combat.

3) The third and finial form being that of a young elven boy standing about 4 feet 3 inches tall, the brightest intense green eyes, and shoulder length straight black hair with a stripe of white hair above his left eyes, and a faint scar below the same eye. ( Useful for performing tasks that requires a humanoid form.) See the Capabilities Section for more details on these 3 forms.

STATUS/HISTORY: Sairina was once a common house cat, however he had the misfortune to have been taken as the familiar of a very evil Sorceress. He was magically endowed with Human equivlent Inteligence, as well as being transformed and empowered with other magical traits so as to be the enslaved servant of this diabolic enchantress. Sairina was enslaved and tormented for many years. He was made to perform many a wicked deed in the service of his mistress. However, recently the sorceress whom held control of him was killed in a confortation with a rival breaking the bond that held him in her control and he took this opportunity to escape. Sairina savored his freedom but found in time that he knew nothing of how to live outside the bonds of service. His old life as a common cat no longer exists for him. And, since his tranformation he had done nothing but perform asigned tasks his mistress. Thus he now seeks a new master or mistress. One that acts out of kindness not malice, one that is good instead of evil, someone worthy of his service and will treat him with respect and love instead of vindictivness and hatred, and in return he will serve with loyalty for life.

RACE: Cat / Magically construct.

PERSONALITY: Sairina having been created from a cat has a michievios side to him. Though he has not been allowed to use it since his creation as his mistress would punish him brutally should he ever do something to displease her. And thus he has grown cautious and reserved over the years since he was made. The true cruelty of his former mistress was that Sairina was created with a tender heart, and this was done intentionally as it gave his former mistress great pleasure to see the pain her order which he was forced to carry out gave him.

CAPABILITIES/SKILLS: Sairina has many abilities. The first and formost of them being the ability to shape shift between 3 different forms. A common short haired house cat, an extra large Winged Panther, and an Elven boy (( see appearance))

Sairina is most normally seen in the form of a house cat. That is what he was created from and feels most comfortable in. Also it allows him to move about without being noticed for the most part. However, at anytime he can change forms either panther or Elevn form. But the one who created him built in some flaws into the panther and Elven forms to pervent him from using them against her.

When Sairina changes to Panther form he becomes more animal like in his inteligence, acting more on instinct then on rational thought. He becomes far more obedient to the orders of his master or mistress becoming completely unable to think about resisting any command he or she should give him.

In Elven child form he is rather frail he. This form was not designed for strength but rather to give him a pair of humaiod hands as to fetch items for the Sorceress and other such acts. This form in the only one Sairina can not remain in indeffiently. When in child form he is in a constent state of pain, and it gets stronger the longer he maintains the form. This gave great delight to the villianous witch that ruled over him to have to stay in this form for no other reason to watch him squirm in pain until he passed out. The Child form is further flawed in that Sarina's mental facualties are lowered to that of what he appears to be a Child.

Sairina's other Powers are as follows: the ability to talk which for a cat is an amazing thing. In house cat, and Elven child form he has some small skill in sorcery equivlent to that of a first or second year apprentice at best. In Winged panther form Sairina is able to fly. His speed is about twice that of average horses running speed.

And finially Sairna is able to create a familiar link or bound with the one willing person. This giving both members of the bound the ability to sense the general direction each is from the other. And there exactly location if they are within a mile of each other. It also allows them to communicate telepathicly within the same one-mile range, and creates an empathic link between them.
