Okay, after that massive embarrassment, I will formally submit an interest in becoming an animal mascot.
Name:Trialan/Phoenix
Gender:Tom
Appearance:
Norwegian Forest cat with a black back and white underside reaching its nose. It has short, thin black wings which it can tuck into its body so as not to be noticeable amongst its fur, and whenever its tail is severed, two more take its place. It is currently up to 4 tails at the base and 16 at the tip, but the volume remains unchanged, so tucked together the tails appear to be a single normal tail.
When transformed, its body bursts into flame, its body grows to about three times its normal size, its claws elongate and become better suited for holding objects, its wings expand to a wingspan of about eight metres, and its tails become a single broad flame of about twice normal length compared to the body.
Power: In its normal form it can glide poorly, and understand human speech. It can also speak, but only when it is channelling voices which it cannot perceive and over which it has no control. Finally, it doesn't age and can recover from any known malady, although its recovery is not particularly swift, and it would likely take a century or more for it to recover from disintegration. It can also sense some measures of potential, often knowing where something important will happen, or if somebody is likely to do something important soon, or just spot a particularly potent object, but the exact elements that it senses are unknown, and the sense is rather simple, only telling it that something is there, leaving it to deduce what is likely to happen through more mundane means.
It is completely unaware of its transformation, and is completely incapable of perceiving anything relating to its transformation, so has no wilful control over it. Therefore the transformation can only occur due to external stimuli, typically moments of great emotional contrast, such as great hope in extremely desperate circumstances.
As Phoenix it can fly, carry considerable weights, radiates a minor curing field which generally does little more than prevent its heat from causing damage, is immune to fire, can bolster the powers of another, and explode in a blinding flash of light, which causes it to immediately revert.
Background: It has various mental blocks that cause its history to be obscured. It knows when it speaks, but cannot hear itself speaking. It is incapable of perceiving anything to do with its transformation, and is poor at tracking time, so it can remember quite a bit, but is not always clear on the order in which things happened. It has no memory of growing up or learning basic skills(which presumably happened in its phoenix form), neither does it know who or what the voices are or where they come from. What it does know is that it has served as a companion for several previous magic girls, more often than not with fire-based powers, none of whom should still be alive. It believes that the voices have on occasion provided teaching and guidance, but it suspects that they have caused their fare share of problems also, firmly believe that at least one of it previous companions perished due to such guidance, though it is resentful of the voices and could be biased, and isn't privy to whatever fate might have been averted... Its previous companion reported that the voices commanded that it find its way to the current region after its companion was gone, shortly before its companion, and itself, were burned at the stake. After recovering, it spent some time drifting, without locating any further companions, reluctant to acquiesce to the voices, but eventually relented and found its way aboard a ship and travelled to its next destiny. It spent some years exploring the region before coming upon the group and recognising their potential.
