BONDING/EVER REALMS MASTER POST
Terms: Bonder=non-human member of the bond. Bonded= human member of the bond.
Starting off with the bonds and how they’re different from each other.
Every person born in the magix dimension has a potential complementary or companion bonder. I talk about how Companion Bonders are born in my MAGIC MASTERPOST. Companion bonds exist from birth, and are cemented when human and companion come within a yard of each other. Before the bond is cemented, only the companion species can actually sense and track down their person. Some choose to do this but most are content to exist as individuals without a bonded. After the bond is cemented the Bonded does have access to supplemental magic from their companion. This access can be deepened based on the level of closeness between bonder and bonded, as done in witchcraft and some masculine magic practices, but fairies often don’t take advantage of the opportunities a companion bond offers them. Companion bonders are sexless and usually genderless, but will often take on the pronouns of their bonded.
Despite the common misconception, sprites and pixies are (closely related but)different species, not male/female sexes of the same species. The wings or tail are the basic physical differences. Pixies also have a rounder face, thinner/lighter limbs, and a longer torso to account for the wings taking up space on the back. Sprites have a stockier build over all, their torsos are shorter and widen at the base to account for their tails. Any companion bonder with a mix of these traits is considered a Hobkie, and usually their physical attributes are unique to them. Behaviorally, Pixies and Sprites are complete opposites, Pixies are aggressive, solitary, and prefer high places, Sprites are skittish, pack oriented, and prefer to live on the ground or below it. As with physical attributes, Hobkies will have a mix of these behavioral traits.
Magic Animals bonds are not predetermined. This bond type is dependent on compatibility between personalities and is similar to friendship. The bond is prone to fluctuate and change as time passes, but generally does not terminate until death on one side or the other. Magic animals are given a boost of power through the bond, and the bonded will gain access to the magic animal’s wild magic core. This allows magic users to tolerate larger amounts of wild magic with out adverse side effects, and allows minor manipulation of wild magic. Magic animal bonds are necessary for Faunix, Fractix, but do not have to be used as a transformation trigger, they are also common among Druids and Shamans.
the elemental companions are different, they are each native to one of the Ever Realms, and access the Magix dimension through an Elemental Gate. Each gate has a specific guardian. Humans are able to bond with the guardian of the gate closest to them geographically at birth (so for the ocean gates; each of the winx and their home planets, Roxy would be able to bond with phylla, and Mirta, who was born on Magix, with Nissa) This is a surface level bond, and neither party gains access to the other’s core magic. Instead, the Elemental companions are important for earning Harmonix, and kick-starting each elemental quest to gain access to the ever realms. A fairy has to bond with one elemental companion each to earn Harmonix, or use the creature of the rainbow mantle as a short cut. For Witches and Masculine style magic users, the elemental companions offer a similar task, and similar power if the task is completed, however these magic users don’t channel their power into wings and thus are not considered fairies(I’m still working on these concepts).
Now for the Elemental companions and the Ever Realms!
This is the theorized model of the universe, and is based on some ancient texts describing the ethereal fairies’ attempts at creating the world. First they tried to create a world with the only element that existed at that time, energy, this translated into the world of the eternal flame, and nothing could live there. Water was tried next, but also remained lifeless. The Immortal forest was created with the element of earth, and succeeded in creating plant life by also using water and fire(the sun lmao). The Endless Storm was created with the element of air that was created in the Immortal Forest. The Ethereals then created the Golden Kingdom (this has no relation to my original post with the golden kingdom tag oops) and decided they were comfortable there and done making worlds. However, the Great Dragon and the Shadow Phoenix decided to try one more time, and literally give their all into making a living world. This resulted in the Magix Dimension. All of the worlds have pillars running through them, connecting and stabilizing them.
The djinn are said to have been born from the sparks of life that were put into the Eternal Flame. They are Guardians of the Fire Gates, usually located in Volcanoes or created temporarily in large fires. It is especially hard to befriend Djinns as they are difficult to find and dis-trustful of other. They do have sexes and reproduce sexually. They live off of heat and will die if in a cold environment for too long. They are almost always warm colors with a neutral white to brown skin tone.
Selkies are one of the elemental companions that have made a home for themselves in Magix as well as their original Ever Realm. They are the guardians of the Ocean Gates, formed from shells from the infinite ocean. They are tenacious and determined but friendly to non-threatening individuals. The majority of observed Selkies are female, and its hard to even spot a male selkies as the species doesn’t have a lot of sexual dimorphism, but their reproduction is a closely guarded secret they refuse to even share with the Nymphs. They eat fish and mollusks, and occasionally shed the thick layer of skin on their torso and tail. Selkies are usually cool colors, but can adopt warmer colors over time in order to blend into their environment.
Kodama are born from the trees in the Immortal Forest, and occasionally take on guardianship of a forest in Magix. They are the guardians of the Forest Gates, which form in especially large, old trees. They are sexless and genderless. Kodama rarely speak, and its considered an honor just to let another see their bare face. Kodama have limited shape shifting abilities, they cannot change their over all size or strength, but can grow wings for flight, a tail and claws for climbing, and ears to enhance their hearing. Kodama wear masks at all times. They are white, gray, pale green, or sometimes a light yellow/beige color, though their eyes are usually a dark green or brown. Their diet is unknown but they are thought to be capable of photosynthesis.
Sylphs have also made homes for themselves in the Magix Dimension, however they live on high, high mountain peaks and rarely come down so they aren’t a common sight like selkies are at shore lines. They are the guardians of the Storm Gates, these gates are actually mobile, following air currents on a planet, and forming in the center of intense storms. Sylphs are playful and mischievous, but can also be a bit skittish. They reproduce sexually through eggs. Male Sylphs have a chest floof and light fluffy feathers on their hips. Female Sylphs have a smooth chest and more feathers under their tails. Sylphs’ coloring can be white, blue, gray, orange, yellow, or brown. They usually have speckles or barred feathers in a darker accent color, and their chest and stomach are lighter then their backs. Syphs eat nuts, seeds, and insects, though they enjoy small prey animals when they can get them as well.
let me know if y’all have any questions!
