Eidolist

Sitting with legs crossed atop the carapace of a giant cra a man reads a book, the lapping of water and the sea breeze offering peaceful background noise. Only occasionally was he disturbed by the thrashing of a shark held firmly between the crabs massive pincers as it headed towards an island just on the horizon.
A woman snapped her fingers, causing a humanoid shape to appear before her with obsidian skin. With a simple utterance it lunged forward, tearing into the bandits attempting to rob her.
A dwarf grumbled as he trudged through the tunnels, rocks clattering with every footfall. Finally he came up upon it, a rich vein of ore. With eyes sparkling he smiled and directed his avatar to begin digging, which was made easing thanks to its large shovel like claws.
Whether giving orders from the back line, or standing side by side with their avatar, hurling soekks abd orivudubg aid, eidolists and avatars are the embodiment of a twinned soul. While they may have many things they fancy, nothing could replace and eidolist's avatar.

Two Bodies, One Mind

Eidolists typically learn of their unique ability spontaneously. Perhaps they were bullied as children and wished for a guardian, only to have their thought take shape. Maybe they were reading a book and imagining the creaturesthere in, only to have their gaze met by one of those creatures incarnate when they lowered the tome. An eidolist can first summon their avatar in many ways but very rarely is it not accidental.
Some families of summoners exist, nurturing their power, seeking ways to perfect it, make it stronger. The children of such families are often groomed from a young age, being prepared for the day their avatar manifests that they may make it as exceptional as possible. Once summoned an eidolist and avatar share an unbreakable bond.

Books and Bonds

Wizards and Eidolists have always been at odds. The wizards tend to be of the mind that anyone who wantsto use magic should go through proper training and not rely on barely controlled arcana, let alone manifested in physical form to accomplish anything.
The Eidolists simply believe wizards to be jealous that they are not capable of creating such a magnificent creature to aid them.
