Theytans
Theytans may take the shapes of any objects, though they prefer those which have an intimate connection with their owners, and they carry all the time: clothes, cars, laptops, etc. When they take on the shapes of these objects, they become special: they do not wear out as easily as well as seeming to their owner to have adapted human traits. Nothing supernatural... just a feeling the owner will gradually develop that their object is alive.
Life-Cycle: Theytans gradually become more important objects over the course of their “lives,” larger and more complex as they near their humanity. When they have finally realized what it means to be human, they transform, becoming a real, physical, ordinary human... Some retain their memories, many do not.
Powers: Theytans are Twilight beings totally immune to harm except via Spirit/Death/Prime archmastery. The objects they inhabit may be destroyed however, banishing the theytan from them. Theytans experience sound, sight, and touch via the object using a modified “Binding” Numen. They also become human spontaneously at the end of their journeys, the potential for which was with them since the beginning. Objects possessed by theytans often become extremely coveted, and bloodshed over them is not uncommon. Those bickering rarely realize why.
Culture: Theytans can communicate with each other via telepathy at the range of human speech, though only master-level mind spells can detect it, and archmaster-level spells open that communication to mortals. Theytans have an extremely eclectic “culture,” though passing down stories of wisdom when with other theytans and talk about what sort of person they will grow to be is very common.
Divine: The divines all took an interest in preserving lost souls, though only those with that domain offered their aid formally. Still, all sealed their essence to cement the bargain, which would change the structure of the universe so dramatically. Their avatars are powerful objects of great renown. Obrimos, the Scepter of Lords. Moros, the Skeleton Key. Mastigos, the Jagged Crown of Kings. Acanthus, the Gossamer Gown of Fate. Thyrsus, the Wrappings of the Seer. It is said someone who brought together all these things would be as the powers, and begin to understand their ways.
