Emilie nodded her agreement. Some kind of warning at least would have been nice.

Dusty decided to keep quiet. He'd never needed a briefing. Either he was filled in by his fellow questers, or he was told to get X artifact. Whether X artifact was everyone elses objective wasn't HQ's problem.
Dusty rubbed his eyes, and looked down. The earth at his feet was slightly disturbed.
(OOC: I have to admit that I know practically nothing about the books here. What sort of limitations, if any, are on the daemons - appearance wise initially, but knowing other things will come in handy later.)

"Something caught your eye on the ground Dusty?"
((OOC: I know practically nothing about the books either; so this is going to be an interesting quest lol))

Emilie turned to see what Dusty was looking at.
((ooc: Haha! Brilliant! I love the books, so this will be entertaining at the very least! Daemons-wise, they're animals, colouring can differ from normal if you want it to, but sizes stay the same. They're the opposite gender to their person -thus Emilie's is male- and they speak whatever languages their human speaks. They are, essentially, a manifestation of their person's soul (however you want to class that), and a person and their Daemon know everything about each other, though they can form different opinions on things. They can only go a certain distance from their person, except for a witch's Daemon, which can go as far away as it likes. (In the books, the protagonist -Lyra- is separated from her Daemon when she visits -temporarily- their version of the underworld. It hurts at first, but eventually they become like witch and Daemon, though she is completely mortal. Thus having Emilie scramble back to the other side of the portal, to show that she and her Daemon can be separated, but it hurts the first time it happens.) The bond between a person and their Daemon can be severed, releasing a vast amount of energy (enough to create a stairway into the aurora borealis in the books) but both human and Daemon will suffer and eventually die from this. Daemons don't inherit a witch's powers, but since Em is human I'm considering altering that a little. If other people touch your Daemon, it physically hurts you, and if it gets hurt, you feel it (and vice versa). A child's Daemon is fluid, and can change its form, but once mature (sometime in a person's teenage years, unless something drastic happens and they have to grow up exceptionally fast) Daemons lose this ability and become fixed in one form. I think that's all you need to know, but ask if you think there'a anything else. Read the books, they're fantastic! But don't bother with the film, for all its CGI beauty, it was a terrible adaptation.))

((OOC: Well that's cleared most of the things up lol. Will anything determine the final form of a Daemon, like say something about the person or is it random? Oh and is there any limits on the size of the Daemon; you know can they be no bigger than the human?"

((ooc: They can be as big as you like. Most Daemons say something about the person, but not all. For example, in the books there's a guy who absolutely detests the sea and his Daemon stayed fixed as a dolphin. Mostly, it's what the Daemon chooses to be.))

((OOC: Now I just have to analyse Kothar as a character to see what suits him as a Daemon lol))

((ooc: Lol! Brilliant! Like I said, it's worth going through them and seeing what the rest of them are. I found a couple that were better than the ones I got for my characters))
