What it sounds
like, folks. Below are 'quick analyses' - which look much like a formal analysis before the traits are put into paragraph-form. For this I took a
dæmon form, researched the animal, and then wrote traits a person with this
dæmon might possess. What's the point of this section? Well,
hopefully people can use it to double-check on their dæmon's settled form, to
see if what I wrote describes their personality. You'll notice that the length and quality of the analyses tend to go up throughout the section, and that's because the skill is being improved upon over the years. ^^ The vast majority of these were written by myself, but that's only because so many are done by the community at large, I can't keep up! If the form you're looking for isn't here, you'll almost certainly come across it
on the forum. Friendly reminder: If your dæmon is settled, the analysis should fit, but not necessarily every point. Remember that most of these were written by someone who doesn't have that dæmon as their settled form. Make sure to do your own research so you understand the basis for the analysis and how it applies to you.
