MFS:my familiar system
A World of Bonds and Battles
In this world, a person’s strength isn’t just their own—it’s shared with their familiar, a mystical creature that becomes both a companion and a source of power. Every familiar is unique, but they all fall into five tiers based on their abilities and potential:
1. Ember Tier – The most common familiars, good for learning but limited in strength.
2. Veil Tier – More specialized and adaptable, strong enough to give their summoners an edge.
3. Dominion Tier – Rare familiars that can change the course of a battle.
4. Apex Tier – Legendary creatures with stories behind them, the kind that make people stop and stare.
5. Ascendant Tier – Beyond legends—these are familiars that defy history itself, but they don’t start that way. They have to evolve.
How Familiars Grow
Familiars aren’t just stuck the way they are. They can evolve, but it’s not easy. Some have to survive near-death experiences, others need rare energy sources, and some have to merge with another familiar. Every evolution is different, but for students in training, there’s a limit—no one should have anything stronger than Veil Tier during their assessments.
Kyle Corvayn & Boneclaw – A Pact with Death
Kyle wasn’t supposed to come back from that fire. But he did. And when he did, he wasn’t alone. Boneclaw, a rare and feared Apex-Tier familiar, was now bound to him. Its presence is unsettling—cold air follows it, shadows shift when it moves, and it doesn’t quite belong in the world the way normal familiars do.
Unlike most creatures, Boneclaw doesn’t evolve in a straightforward way. It absorbs power through battle, taking on traits from its deadliest versions—Wraithclaw, Graveclaw, Bloodclaw, Echoclaw, and Famineclaw—until it reaches its final form. But there’s a cost. The more Kyle grows, the more his abilities start shifting toward something darker, something unnatural.
Life at the Military Academy
Kyle’s not the only one with something to prove. The academy is full of students trying to rise through the ranks, each with their own familiars and ambitions:
Darius Holt, a Level 5 student with the lightning-fast Stormfang Panther, is Kyle’s main rival. Their clashes push both of them to their limits.
Vivian Marchand bets on Kyle’s abilities, throwing him into a high-stakes sparring match.
Jace Torren, Kyle’s roommate, hides his own secrets—like a rare familiar he spent everything to summon.
Instructor Vaughn has seen something in the security footage. He doesn’t know what Boneclaw is, but he’s watching.
An investigator at the academy is digging deeper, sensing that Kyle is at the center of something unusual.
The Phoenix Order & The Coming War
Outside the academy, tension is rising. The Phoenix Order, a rebel group that despises the familiar system and the power it upholds, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A war is coming, likely sparked by a broken peace treaty, and when it does, everything the academy stands for will be tested.
Kyle was never meant to be part of this fight. But with Boneclaw by his side, he may not have a choice. His strength is growing, his mana is changing, and the world is watching. The only question is—will he control his power, or will it control him?
