Monster Companion

Monster Trainers ability comes with an extra surprise when they awaken. They say most awakenings happen at a young age, though some can happen when someone is older. The ability is often thought to be a shared ability, being of the person and the monster. Monsters usually have a good relationship with their person. Even an evil or cruel person would have a good relationship with them. Monsters take different forms depending on what the person is like. Usually they appear cute or friendly, however some look cool or mysterious. When a Mimicopy copies a monster trainer, usually a floating mirror appears that has a copy of the monster come out. It is thought that the mirror is an extension of the Mimicopy ability and that it is the true form of a Mimicopies monster. There are stories of a Mimicopy that awakened as a normal monster trainer, but that would be a super rare occurrence. People with more than one ability usually don't have Mimicopy as one of those abilities. Strange things can occur when there are multiple abilities and mimicopy is one of them.

back to the monster trainers, they have been around for a long time. Back in the ancient times the monsters sometimes looked like dinosaurs even though those have been extinct for a long time.

During the Era of Myth, many different types of monster companions were often seen. Some were even similar to rare mythical beasts. It seems as the eras passed, more types of Monster companions would be found. Perhaps the ability grew stronger, or maybe it was due to the people. It's really hard to say.

The dark era is a weird one. Where many ability users hard a hard time hiding, one of the most conspicuous ones actually had an okay time hiding. It seems people and monster companions are often good at hiding each other when the need arises.

By the time the secret era happened monster trainers began battling each other to pass the time. Friendly battles were common and sometimes other ability users would train each other. The secret era was a time where secret societies of ability users would bring some closer together. Unfortunately these secrets often led to the users having secret double lives. For some it was a good thing, but for others they grew frustrated.

When the secret era ended, and the light era began Monster trainers could now travel with their companions in search of other ability users.

A little bit more on Monster Companions

What monster companions eat depends on the companion. Some may not even need to eat, getting energy from some unknown means. Some could eat normal food while others could eat less normal things.

There is an unseen link between a monster companion and their trainer. The trainer may know things about the monster companion and not know why they know, such as what the companion eats when/if it gets hungry.

Often, monster companions will speak with their trainers, and are understood regardless of whether they growl, meow, or talk in riddles.

They look different from normal monsters, often having unique appearances. The most common types are ones that look like dinosaurs, animals, or dragons. Each monster companion often shares something about its appearance with the personality of the Monster Trainer. Some more unique examples include A floating ball of liquid, a humanoid made of bandages, or small wizard-y looking fellow.

Monster companions are durable, far more durable than a normal person. If the companion takes fatal damage they will come back after a time healed. If the trainer dies the companion goes away or vanishes. It is unknown if they link with another person or not.

If a person with the Monster Trainer ability is affected by something that temporarily disables their ability, the monster companion doesn't go away, however any special powers they have do not work.
