[quote=@Oddsbod] 'Undead' in the context of Invernier is applied pretty elusively to sentient humanoid-ish mummy-ish beings with a really loaded history, so I'm not sure a zombified cat would work, but since there's a magical style that revolves around wild animals, if you want a heavily enchanted cat familiar under your control, that'd be cool, sure thing. What sort of eccentric were you going for? It can end up meaning a few different things for different kinds of characters, and some of those may not fit well with the tone or setting for End + Sleep. [/quote] Imagine the old lady that nobody really likes but they keep her around because she saved your grandmother from the pox with some weird potion that made her turn a shade of blue for two days. She sorta rambles on about little things like how mushy her tomatoes were or how dreadfully loud the ghost-voices were last night when there was a murder in town. Unnerving, but charming and useful in a fashion that leaves them safe as long as they help out in a small community. Basically a hedgewitch, common for villages in the rough time period this roleplay is based off. However, she'd be a rather effeminate young man instead, and ramble on more about how his cat Snuffles had the sneezes the night before last because he got sick defending the village from a strange plague-like monster. (As I am writing this our cat just sneezed and fell off the chair he was sitting on I am crying.) Also, I'm basing this concept loosely on the insanity and ghostiness from Hamlet, my favorite Shakespearean play. Edit: *ahem* Also in reference to the cat I'll just make him a sort of combat familiar. Have a spell to make him grow a few sizes, couple it with a healing spell for the character himself to use, and a spell to temporarily animate anything without a lifeforce. Top it off at like three spells, maybe a fourth depending on the power level you'd ascribe.
