Eidolon

An eidolon is a bonded, summoned beast that inhabits a plane different from the mortal one. Typically, an eidolon differs from a summoned beast in that an eidolon is bonded with a particular summoner. There have been no records of an eidolon being summoned by a summoner different from the one it has bonded with, nor is there any evidence that after a summoner's death, their eidolon can be summoned by someone else. However, some still speculate that it's possible.
Nobody has ever seen the other planes on which the eidolons apparently come from, and there haven't been any recorded instances of eidolons divulging such information, so all dedicated researchers can do is speculate. Some research on eidolons has yielded the information that eidolons are essentially pure Chrono given a corporeal form, but still sentient and sapient. It is thought that eidolons have forms of their own on other planes, but when occupying the mortal plane, they must use Chrono to essentially "manifest" outside of their home plane.
==Razimoff Project==
The Razimoff Project was an attempt, essentially, to research eidolons by turning willing test subjects -- who were mostly researches of the same subject -- into eidolons themselves. The hope was that they would be able to access the other planes and return with information on the exact nature of them. The project occurred during the Millennial Calm and more or less required eliminating the physical body and replacing it with one of pure Chrono.
They were aware of the risks and, though considered extreme, it did result in one successful transfer. A morpher named Galkov was turned into an eidolon and was able to reach the plane on which eidolons dwell, once bound with a summoning ritual and then dismissed.
The records of what he saw have been lost, but the foundations of essentially being able to transfer a consciousness to one form to another became the foundations of the Rhyser Project, which intended to allow sabarus alphas to transfer their memories, personalities, and consciousnesses into a new body.
