Sersilia....The word spreads faster then fire through an oil slicked forest. It brings light to the soul's lost in the darkness, a home to the homeless and most importantly it offers hope.
In this world, ruled by human greed, there is a group of people who have broken the chain that ties then down and opened their souls. In doing so, the Linkers were created. A humans spirit automatically has a preference to one of the three Naturals: Nature, Animals, and the Spirit itself. Locked up and under wrong influences that preference can't be known. But if your soul was to become free you would link with your true self and your Natural would overtake. Linkers are the outcome.
Linkers of Nature are commonly known as Elementals. They have controle over the element that is most attracted to there soul. An Elemental could link with Water, Fire, Air, Earth, Light or Darkness.
A Linker that binds souls with an animal spirit is called a Hybrid or Chimera. Each soul reacts differently to the animals spirit, so even two people both binded to an owl would not be the same. Wolf, raven and cat binding are usually very simular for each case. Many myths about werewolves or monsters come from Animal Linkers.
The last and least popular (but most interesting) are the Spirit Linked. They're people who bond with another spirit. The result is immortality , to a degree, and sometimes controle over sertain parts of a humans body. Some Spirit Linkers are known to be able to minipulate a person by controlling there blood. Others who don't obtain these powers, get a special gift of their own; the inhancement of their own natural abilities. A horrific side effect to being Spirit Linked is that they need human blood to survive. Vampire lore probably originated from Spirit Linkers.
Finding that it was hard to survive in a world were you are constantly living a lie, Sersilia was created. The academy is a boarding school that helps young Linkers by teaching them how to survive in the human world, how to use there abilities for good and without being discovered. C.T.I. is a branch in the goverment that knows, and assists in, the academy's existence.
