The Grand OC! [CONTEST XXX: HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEN]
RE: The Grand OC! [CONTEST FOURTEEN: SET! SUBMISSIONS WELCOME!]
Username: Dragon Fogel
Name: Eguid of the Seven Talismans
Gender: Nonspecific
Race: Wish-granting spirit
Biography: The Seven Talismans are at the core of many legends. The details vary, but some essential elements never change. There are seven magical objects, each with its own power, and when one person gathers them all in one place, he is granted a wish by the great spirit Eguid.
In some tales, Eguid speaks to the hero directly through the first talisman he finds, and offers cryptic advice leading to the other talismans.
The strangest thing is that the form of the talismans and the shape of the spirit changes from story to story, though the name of the spirit is always Eguid. Scholars simply suspect this to be tribal variation, with the basic tale being spread from one group to another and each tribe adapting the story to better fit their own existing legends. But others say the talismans are real, and simply change their form with each wish.
Most scholars are skeptical of such claims, often sarcastically asking where the talismans are now if they really do exist.
None of them considered the possibility that the talismans had been taken from the world entirely.

Description: As a spirit, Eguid has no fixed form. It can't even physically manifest unless the Seven Talismans are all in one place.
The Talismans are likewise malleable in form, though once they take on a shape, they retain it. That said, each of them has a color and its form will always feature that color prominently: White, Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Gold, and Black.
Eguid can speak through one of the talismans. It tends to be frustrating to talk to, speaking in vague riddles most of the time. Legends suggest that Eguid likes to test potential wishers, although it's not really clear just what sort of wishers the spirit prefers.

Weapons and Abilities: Eguid's main ability is to grant a single wish to whoever gathers the Seven Talismans in one place. This wish cannot be used to kill directly, and there's a limit to what Eguid is powerful enough to do, but it's still a highly sought-after prize.
Eguid can also change its form freely when it manifests. Aside from that, it can do a lot of things, but generally doesn't except in the service of a wish. Of course, if someone decided to challenge it to combat for some reason, that would be another matter entirely.
After the wish is granted, the Talismans will change their form and scatter. If they were taken to a different world, they would likely choose forms appropriate to that world, though each would still feature its relevant color prominently.
In addition, each Talisman grants a magical ability to its bearer. These tend to vary, though they often relate to the current forms of the Talismans. They are also nearly indestructible; breaking one would almost certainly require very powerful magic.
There's one exception, though: the Black Talisman. This one always has the same ability, permitting its holder to speak directly to Eguid. Eguid knows where all the other talismans are, and will truthfully answer all questions asked of it regarding the talismans - though that's not to say it won't find a way to give a true answer that isn't in the least bit helpful.
Finally, and relevant to the battle, Eguid can only be killed in two ways. Either it must be killed when it physically manifests to grant a wish (and as the wish can't be fatal, you can't simply wish for it to destroy itself), or the talismans must all be destroyed. Neither is an easy task, obviously.
