We have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl it. May our strings be ever reaching and never breaking.
You are either a human or a beast.
Beasts become puppets.
Humans just joining are called Toys.
Toys are to care for the beasts not taken as puppets. They will train until the strongest members determine which beast suits the Toy based on these observations:
-How the Toy fights
-How the Toy interacts with the beasts they care for
-How the Toy interacts with other Puppeteers
When a beast and Toy are matched, the beast is branded by the Toy and a recitation is done thrice.
Recitation: “From my hand to your heart, and my heart in your hold. My strings are your limbs, your limbs are my extensions. Hoof, paw, wing, claw, we move as one. We breathe as one. I the Master, you the Puppet.”
After the recitation, a sponsor is chosen by the Toy (an elder Master) and will carve the heart from the Toy’s chest and pass it to the newly bound puppet to complete the ritual. This is the process for choosing primary beasts.
Secondary beasts are taken only by Masters with enough strength and experience. The secondary beasts are branded and a shortened version of the binding recitation is said.
Thus completes a binding.
Toys become Masters by improving their skills alongside their puppets and perfecting the ability to shape shift parts of their bodies to take on the strengths of their beast.
