What are Collosphinxes?

Collosphinxes are human-like creatures. In their natural form, they look very much like humans, but they have some animal characteristics. The most common is the Cat Collosphinx. It, or I should say SHE, males don't do well as collosphinxes, has the ears and tail of a cat, but otherwise looks human. They can change their appearance at will, usually into the human or cat she looks like.


The creation of a collosphinx is peculiar. You are almost never born one. First you need to know that living creatures, not including plants, just animals, have a soul and a spirit. In most cases, when you die, your soul goes to heaven or hell while your spirit lingers in the air, causing the wind. There are special cases where you're soul and/or spirit is trapped in your body after you die or they meld together and are bound to earth as ghosts. Now, a collosphinx is formed when an extra spirit enters a living body.


Common powers are mind reading, mind control, and body control. The first two are accomplished through eye contact. They are skilled at other magic and are often thought to do anything. However, their power is limited. Things such as bringing people back from the dead are almost impossible because of how much power it takes.

So, do you have to make eye contact with the corpse to bring it back to life?

No no no! Eye contact is only the mind reading and control. Body control doesn't actually require the eye contact, but works better that way, you get a better grasp of control.

Actually, it's not clear if collosphinxes even CAN bring the dead back to life. In theory, they can, but it's been so long since any have done it...
