So my puppy and I already established our worlds are able to connect thanks to the ridiculous proximity they have to each other, meaning an of our characters can "jump" to the other's universe at will, but they are applied that universe's "rules". When characters from my world jump to my teddy woof's world they are given a spirit animal companion and an element, luckily my characters already have element affinities so their powers stay basically the same....now with the animals it's another story since they'll kinda need them to go into "spirit mode" ( which is the dog's equivalent of my Virtue form, in which human and animal bond together to upgrade their powers and abilities) so they'll have to not only "discover" their animal, but bond with them at some given point.

Rick's animal is, obviously, a bear....but not any bear. A frikn polar bear! RAWR!! XD

When Rick jumped toTech's world instead of discovering his animal the bear just said screw that and glomped the ridiculously handsome meathead and that's how their friendship started XD

Oh and the bear's name is Blue cuz he has pure sapphire eyes
