Recently, while touring some well-known places in Europe, I found something interesting. Fascinated by the beautiful things around me, I made the mistake of tapping a piece of stone. I happened to tap it twice. When the stone was tapped twice, the light shifted, and the historical monument seemed to shift as well. And from the shift, a small, dog-sized… thing appeared. Its little insect-like wings buzzed, antenna flicking from its head. Bright oranges and dark blacks, along with dazzling transparent parts. The spirit told me its name through appearances. It had plates of gold, like historical plates and little things that came from the ghostly inside of the history. At least, there was no gore at all, and the spirit seemed friendly. Carvings littered the creature’s sides, like a script of what had happened while the ghost roamed the earth alive. It looked frightening, and so I backed off, pretending like it wasn’t there. But it kept following me. The painted-stone spirit came all the way with me to where I write this now. Cicada watches my screen strangely, like they’ve never seen anything like it. Xey probably haven’t! Welcome to my first Spirit Summoning, brining to you Syrilics! ——— [[description]] I don’t know much about these Syrilics, but since Cicada showed up, I’ve seen plenty more after tapping on stone, wood, or metal with historical value. They come in an array of sizes, and are made of the material they were summoned from. Their material is painted over with the color scheme of a natural thing, like types of insects, fish, animals, plants, fungi… but they all bare resemblance. I tried calling Cicada by the name Zariah, and Cicada went nuts. When they calmed back down, I learned that they look like their names. Of course, you can give them a nickname, like Cica. Their body is mainly detached. I don’t know what keeps them together. Their eyes are essentially just pupils, having different shapes that correspond to the era from the historical monument they were summoned from. Engravings about that era are carved into their sides in an unreadable language as well. (These are anywhere; I saw one once that only had it on their head!) Sharp claws, no mouth (they technically do, however, because the “skin” around where the mouth would be rips open to reveal sharp or dull teeth, depending on how old they are and where they are from), soft fur, sweet, companion-like behavior. Cicada just licked my screen. I guess they have tongues. ——— [[summoning]] Go to a historical site and tap on either stone, wood, or some kind of metal (like gold, steel, iron, silver). The floating plates that make up their torso are made of that material, and the extending flap is made of a precious metal or stone. Tap twice. If nothing comes from it, move to another area and try again. Sometimes it helps if you are in an area where there is a lot or at least a bit of light. ——— [[care guide]] These guys are very easy to take care of! All they need is some love and care! What is this care? Uhm it’s oddly specific. Every week you need to tap the same material (doesn’t need to be the same place) just once, and after, give your Syrilic a bit of dust. What you do with that dust is put it on their eyes, and then take their claws and lay them on the material. Every day you must say their name, or their color fades and they darken. They become hostile after that. If you don’t do the weekly thing, something happens. I don’t know yet, but I wouldn’t do it if I were you. Taking care of a hostile Syrilic is… difficult. You can tell when they become hostile when there is gore becoming seen. Very little though. They need large amounts of food, water, shadows, books, and every year or so (according to [I think that’s what they meant] Cicada) they need to go back to the place that you summoned them. Have fun with that! ——— [[adopt preclaims/requests]] (for preclaims, I will tell you where they are from and design them from there, and if you like the location you can just ask for one :D) (for requests, tell me the location to summon them from and any design notes [like height, color, name, specific patterns, eye shape, et cetera] and I’ll summon them for you :D) Arch de Triumph - “Pigeon” () Golden Gate Bridge - “Firefly” () Kufu’s Pyramid - “Empress Moth” () requests: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
