Sooo for whatever reason, I decided to revisit a character who was originally meant as a one-off some time ago. His name is Aphra, and he's a Sphinx. A very slinky one, more of a blend of human and feline into a long, slender shape. ^_^ He has a bit of a story to him now, as well.
Aphra is a divine familiar - a creature that belongs to something very old and powerful, and normally exists in its domain. However, should an ambitious wizard, witch, or warlock find and perform a specific ritual, they can summon Aphra as a physical creature and enter into a contract with him. They will then have a very powerful and intelligent creature at their disposal...but it's not quite as simple as that.
The summoner has to maintain their end of the bargain, acting as caretaker to this sassy Sphinx that is quite like a housecat in his behavior and personality, and he has many demands that his owner must fulfill. If the summoner fails in their duty as his caretaker, Aphra will instead devour them. But for those who take good care of him, he will help them become incredibly powerful in the arcane arts, and will maintain their life for the duration of the contract.
I hope to do more with him, honestly. He has a decent potential to become a recurring character. But more than that, he's just been fun to draw.
