Bastian

“The Protector & Familiar”

Bastian was born from Ryder’s purest magic, a manifestation of his deepest need for protection and guidance. Created to help Ryder conquer his greatest fears, Bastian became more than just a protector—he is a guardian, companion, and sage, offering both wisdom and support. His role transcends that of a simple guide; Bastian helps Ryder maintain control over his powers and realize his full potential, standing by him and the rest of his muses as a quiet but constant presence.

Strong and silent by nature, his presence is felt more than heard, his quiet strength offering comfort and stability. When Bastian does choose to speak, his words carry weight and wisdom, resonating with both Ryder and those around him.

What makes Bastian truly unique is his form—an ethereal, billowing, flame-like head, a reflection of Ryder’s original magical essence. His ability to take on multiple forms, each suiting to the needs of the moment. He can manifest as a towering, elemental-like being, radiating power and capable of driving away any threat. Alternatively, he can shrink down to a small, fawn-like creature, light enough to perch on Ryder’s shoulder, offering comfort and counsel from a more intimate, protective vantage.
