Class Features[]
Synthesist 2
Proficiencies: Proficient in simple weapons and light armor. Can cast summoner
spells in light armor with no penalty.
Spell Casting: Spontaneous, arcane, charisma based caster
Fused Eidolon: A synthesist summons the essence of a powerful outsider to
meld with her own being. The eidolon appears around the
synthesist so that the synthesist seems to be inside a barely
translucent image of her eidolon. The synthesist directs all
of the eidolon’s actions while fused, perceives through its
senses, and speaks through its voice, as the two are now one
creature. While fused, the synthesist uses the eidolon’s
physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and
Constitution), but retains her own mental ability scores. The
synthesist gains the eidolon’s hit points as temporary hit
points. When these hit points reach 0, the eidolon is sent
back to its home plane. The synthesist uses the eidolon’s BAB,
and gains the eidolon’s armor and natural armor bonuses and
modifiers to ability scores. The synthesist also gains access
to the eidolon’s special abilities and the eidolon’s
evolutions. The synthesist is still limited to the eidolon’s
maximum number of natural attacks. The eidolon has no skills
or feats of its own. While fused, the synthesist counts as both
her original type and as an outsider for any effect related to
type, whichever is worse for the synthesist. Spells such as
banishment or dismissal work normally on the eidolon, but the
synthesist is unaffected. Neither the synthesist nor her
eidolon can be targeted separately, as they are fused into one
creature. The synthesist and eidolon cannot take separate
actions. While fused with her eidolon, the synthesist can use
all of her own abilities and gear. In all other cases, this
ability functions as the summoner’s normal eidolon ability
(for example, the synthesist cannot use her summon monster
ability while the eidolon is present). This ability replaces
(*but still acts "as" such for feat qualification
[interpretation and judge vote]) the class’s eidolon ability,
bond senses, and life bond.
Fused Link: If the eidolon takes enough damage that brings it to zero,
which would return it to it's plane, the summoner can, as a
free action, sacrifice hit points to prevent an equal amount
of damage to the eidolon.
Eidolon Healing: The temporary HP of the eidolon can only be healed with
spells that specifically heal eidolons such as Rejuvenate
Eidolon. (FAQ clarification)
Worn Armor: Worn armor does not function while fused, but does not need to be
removed before fusion. (FAQ clarification)
Skilled Evo: The Skilled evolution does affect the synthesist, giving him the
bonus. The Ability Increase evolution does not affect the
synthesist's mental stats, it affects the eidolon's suppressed
mental stats. (FAQ clarification)
Sufficient: The eidolon must have sufficient limbs to accomplish tasks.
Limbs: "Remember also that the summoner is wearing the eidolon like a
biological, all-encompassing "suit," and the eidolon's shape
limits what the summoner can do. If the eidolon doesn't have
arms, the summoner can't use his own arms to manipulate objects,
make attacks, cast somatic spells, or anything else requiring
arms--while fused, the summoner's limbs are trapped within the
armless eidolon-suit, and he isn't able to use them to manipulate
things. The summoner isn't able to extend his own body parts
outside of the eidolon-suit; if he wants to be able to manipulate
things with arms, the eidolon needs arms (though tentacles are
sufficient for simple tasks)." (FAQ clarification)
Share Spells: The summoner may cast a spell with a target of “you” on her
eidolon (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on herself.
A summoner may cast spells on her eidolon even if the spells
normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon’s type (outsider).
Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list.
Darkvision: The eidolon has darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. (Only
available in Fusion form.)
Link: A summoner and his eidolon share a mental link allows for
communication ... This communication is a free action,
allowing the summoner to give orders to her eidolon at any time.
... The eidolon must possess the appropriate appendages to
utilize a magic item.
Summon: Cast Summon Monster I 4 times per day as a standard action.
SLA for a 2 minute duration. (Only available unbound.)
Evasion: Whenever the eidolon makes a Reflex saving throw to determine
whether it takes half damage, a successful save results in no
damage.

Description: Mesem Adrarda's eidolon manifests as a thin blue skin that covers the entirety of his body except for his head, which appears encased in a bird mask. The "mask" can shift its level of opaqueness/translucency depending on Mesem's desires.
Details[]
Size: Medium
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 150 lbs
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Gray while unbonded; red while bonded.
Skin Color: Pale.
Appearance[]
Unbonded, Mesem is generally unimpressive physically. He is lean and wiry, with unruly hair, and he wears simple, homespun cotton clothes that are generally as light as the climate allows. By contrast, when Mesem's occupier, or eidolon, is enacted, his presence is much more imposing: although no larger, he nevertheless manages to radiate the formidible physical prowess of that form, and even his demeanor takes on a slightly harder edge. He wears the blue layer of the eidolon as a seamless second skin. Equipment-wise, he travels lightly, with the long, slender sword on his back being the most prominent item he carries. He also carries a large side-pouch.
Demeanor[]
Mesem tends towards quiet among unfamiliar people or surroundings. His is an active quiet, though, in which he is constantly engaging with and assessing those around him. When prompted, he is more than happy to speak or otherwise assert himself, be it for idle conversation or to provide necessary input on a decision.
When bonded, Mesem's comfort in his own skin seems more justified, as though his inner confidence has been externalized for everyone to see. In battle, he is merciless, almost to the point of indulgence.
Background[]
Mesem was found as a young child, along with his brother, Semes, by members of Olo u La'al ("The Order of Balance") on the wild slopes of the impossibly tall mountain Kek Tet Ala ("Heaven's Peak"). The two half-elven boys had been seemingly-attacked by an unknown creature, unidentifiable even to the extremely knowledgable La'alians, and were apparently in the process of being consumed by said creature when they were discovered. The boys were taken back to the monastery and cared for as best as they could be, although little could be done in such unprecedented circumstances.
Against all odds, the boys survived, but not unscathed. Rather than consuming them, the creature had seemingly "bonded" with them, for better or worse. Under the shrewd and watchful guidance of the Olo u La'alians, the boys were taught to harness these creatures dwelling within them, although this process was not a one-sided one: just as the growing boys learned to manipulate their occupiers, so did the influence of these occupiers on their hosts grow.
Through time, it became clear that the personality of each occupier was distinct. Semes' seemed disposed to a searching out justice and bestowing judgment, in order to perpetuate its perception of "good," a disposition which the half-elf increasingly manifested as he grew older and his bond with his occupier grew stronger. Thus he was given the name "Semes Adrarda" ("Bound with Judgment"). Mesem's occupier, on the other hand, seemed much more inclined towards neutrality, and issued its wrath upon those who upset the balance of things; thus, he was given a name that means "Bound with Wrath."
Mesem has been sent to Venza by the Olo u La'alians to learn what he can about the area and its inhabitants.
OOC: Unbeknownst to him, Mesem and his brother are sons of a high-ranking member of the Irthosian government. How they ended up on the mountain of Kek Tet Ala as boys is currently undetermined.
