Username: Ixcaliber
Name: Carpet
Species: Carpet
Gender: Carpet
Colour: #FF0000
Description: A battered old magic carpet. When she was new she was a vibrant shade of crimson, with elaborate pattern woven into her and tassels dangling from each of her corners. Over time her colour has faded, leaving her looking a sort of washed out shade of salmon. From a quick glance she doesn't look too worse for wear, but it is under closer examination that you would notice a not inconsiderable number of minor stains, of patches where she has been worn down over the years, of areas where she is beginning to fray and interestingly scorch marks upon her tassels. Occasionally a stray spark of magic will leak from her frayed edges.
Carpet is sentient, yes, but in terms of intelligence she's closer to that of an animal than a human being. She forms quick bonds with those who treat her kindly and is immensely loyal. She is playful when she has the opportunity and can be quite brave when she has to. She doesn't really understand human speech but can interpret tone. It is sort of possible to have a rudimentary conversation with her via the minor psychic link that forms while touching her, but don't expect an in depth philosophical discussion or anything.
Weapons/Abilities: Carpet has the ability to fly. She can fly really quite quickly, but will default to a comfortable (ymmv) speed if she is carrying any humans. She can easily carry one fully grown adult, and could probably carry another at a stretch but it would wear her out pretty quickly. Anyone who touches Carpet forms a weak psychic link with her. This functionality is intended to provide an easy way to direct her to your destination. She does not come equipped with Satellite Navigation.
Biography: Carpet was woven by a wizened old man with a bald head and a long white beard. She was sold for a hundred gold pieces in a bustling bazaar to a man in a leather jacket and a snappy hat. She took an instant liking to him. Over the next few years they seemed to spend a lot of time in dusty old tombs dealing with all kind of unnatural creatures, treasure hunters and soldiers. One day her owner had a lie down on the ground and didn't get up again even when all his skin eventually fell off. Carpet was lonely for a long time but one day she found herself somewhere else entirely with seven new potential friends.
