Common Overview

[Zeal]

	We all come into this world from a parent's origin. Some with a name or position already set for us. Others are not so lucky in that bar of life and are a Blank which takes time for them to find someone who is in need of them. But what about those of us who don't belong to the unit world at all. Maybe my sibling is part of it or my lover but I am not? Have no fear we all have some members who are not necessarily part of the the unit world but they are part of a unit member's life. You may not fight in the unit fights but you do have to battle handling your sibling or lover when they come home from such events. Being a common here is not as easy as the life of a normal person outside the city. We carry these secrets with us to our graves or fear being hunted by the Hounds or police if it becomes known you told someone. Just as it is important for your family member/lover to find their unit partner it is important that you are there to assist them and help bring them back up. A support system is a must for them and being a common you excel at such things. Even if it is in an unorthodox sort of way.
A Loving Heart     We are people known as the common or normal people. But many couldn't even tell a unit member apart from anything when you see them until they went into battle. We help keep life more or less normal. We help heal the scars they obtain through battles. We help them to live normal lives and enjoy life to the fullest. We give life a purpose and help them see it along the way. No matter what life tosses at them we will be there to help them pick up the pieces and continue on. That is the true essence of a family and the first support network you will ever have in life. But what does it mean to have a loving heart?     This may seem like a cliche sort of saying but to have a loving heart one must know how to love. Loving ones self is very important because it teaches you how to love another. As a sibling you have a different love for your older or younger sibling but the common trait you all have is not just love but protection. But before we go into all of that we will go back to the original. Loving one's self holds so much significance here because before loving another we have to know how to care for ourselves. When we have that mastered a bit then loving another becomes a new challenge.     As a Parent: We love our kids regardless and as a parent we know all about love. Besides it is what helped to create this beautiful child to begin with. As a parent you don't need to be overly doting nor aggressive with your love when your child returns from such excursions. Tend to their wounds but also tend to their mental wounds. Ensure that their partner is alright as well if they have him/her by now. Keeping tabs on them is important and doing what you can for them not just mentally and physically but also spiritually. Make sure you do like you always do but you do a little extra just for them.     As a Lover: Most of us become this over time. A lot of the time it is experimentation trying to find out what we like and don't like. This is important so we know who we love and how we love them. When our lover is part of the world they will have scars, emotional roller coasters and so much more. Well as we experience this we have to be as loving and caring as possible. Don't suffocate them but keep tabs on them and make sure they keep a sane mind. Creativity is needed when it comes to a lover. Just like keeping them happy the creativity plays a role in all sides. If there are underlying issues please seek assistance. There are counselors who can help you care for your mate.     As a Sibling: We all love to fight, play, bicker, argue, challenge, well this list can continue but you get the idea. As a sibling we love to do things that seem to upset, frustrate, help or give our siblings headaches. Thing is when our siblings are injured, scared or even bothered it tends to bother us. Mostly because someone else caused it before us. We want to help them feel better if it is possible. Being ourselves is important and helping them to understand that we are always there for them is important too. We may not know how to soothe them like our parents do but we do know what will make their day. So be sure to do what you can to keep them up. If you know something deep down is seriously wrong please let one of your parents know or your guardian so they can seek attention to help your sibling.     As a Child: We are all someone's child no matter what our age is. Sometimes we don't get the same powers as our parents and at times it may seem cool but to see the battle scars they wear makes us think twice. Our parents life partner should be able to help them recover but as children we play a role as well. We know how to make them smile, give a helping hand and anything that may ease their minds and souls. Much like the others we should look for signs of interest and others of concern. Know when your mom/dad is at their best condition or at their worst. We should be able to help them even if we feel we can't. Seek advice from friends in the city or ask your teachers. They may be able to assist you as well.
	Passionate Support     A Fighter /Sacrifice has special qualities unique to them making them what they are. Things that define them as being a Sacrifice or a Fighter but what about us? Are our qualities just as important even if they are simple? Ironic in a way but yes our qualities are simple but they are very important. It's all the little things that we do that come and make a difference to them. Sometimes they will forget how to care and love for others so we are that constant reminder to them of it. They come home we are their protectors and caretakers. Help ease them down from their highs and bring them up on their lows. So much falls on our plates but we would have it no other way. Physical Love is a love meant to cover all of our senses. We need to have all of these covered when our loved ones return home. Sometimes their favorite scent helps ease them down from the day. Their favorite home cooked meal may just brighten their mood. Hearing about everyone's day may help them forget about the bothersome parts of theirs. Soothing music to calm them. Kisses, hugs, pats and any other welcoming treats they get will usually give them a smile. These things may seem small but they create a very huge impact when everyone they love and care for are in on the ordeal. Stimulating these senses helps bring out the positive aspects of anyone and they help to bring everyone into a happy zone. Mental Love is a love directed to the mental stability of your family member. Keeping the mental mind in check and helping to play their favorite games keeps them healthy. Exhaustion here may be something you should know the signs of. Sometimes it is a mental ordeal rather than a physical one. So try something to help stimulate them. If they are physically recovering try something to keep their minds active. Share your thoughts, or tell them your day little things here matter the most to bring them down from their high and relax their mind. Doing what you can to keep them relaxed and happy will be a plus.
Together as One        As your family member goes out to find their true partner they will usually come home empty handed for a long while. They will at times be frustrated, discouraged, heart broken, silent and a myriad of other things. Yes it will be sad to see them this way but it is our job to help them feel much better. Just imagine what you can do to make their day. Encourage them that no matter what their partner is looking for them too. At the end of the day they will always have you and should be reminded that you will be there for everything. Sometimes we will do what we can to help ease the search if we know where to look. Asking someone for help or seeking advice from the Council Members to see if they can lend their aide in the search. It will become a tough road ahead of this but you must be determined to be strong on their behalf.     Everyone experiences a stressful day and with your family member it will be very taxing while searching for their partner. Here is where your many types of love kick in the most. Sometimes it takes more than just a meal and a shower to get your loved one to be happy. Sometimes it is a little bedroom action, maybe a video game, or a movie, sometimes it might need a night out somewhere they enjoy. Again you will have to be creative in order to keep their mind busy and them happy. How do you plan to make them happy today? Have you tried anything new in the past few days? This may seem like a lot to handle but make it into a game. You will be so happy you did.     Now as I stated it will take some time and a lot of patience to find their other half. When they find him/her you need to give them time to connect their bond. This is usually the test period for many family members because some feel left out, alone, and even unloved. No worries they are just forming their unit bond and they will always return to you. As siblings they can rely on you to help them all steps of the way. As a lover you have to understand and have faith in them. If your lucky as a parent they need to socialize and grow into their bond. As a child they still love you just give them a little bit of room to grow. It will be tough but when the day comes they will introduce you to their Unit partner. At that stage you can eliminate any issues and help them to see just how much you all love them for all that they do.
	Keeping Synergy             You will hear the unit talk about synergy. The essence that helps them out in battle and determines their affinity. This is confusing to many such as us so let's get a break down of each one and how we can help them out even more. Keep in mind these are what helps them keep a healthy relationship with their unit. We also have to do our part and help them keep a healthy relationship at home. Again not all units marry their partners nor keep their partners for that matter. So this will be something that fluctuates a lot. Namesake is the unique name of the unit. It is written somewhere on the body in a certain spot with certain typography. As a common the first time we see this on our family member/lover it will freak us out. Some will blame their children thinking of it as a cruel prank. If it doesn't wash off the first time it is more than likely the namesake so please don't scrub your loved one raw. This name is very important and you should check up on all the definitions of this name. Talk to your family member/lover and ask them what the name means to them. Some may not have an answer and for many their thoughts of meanings will change over time. Always keep tabs on their meaning and familiarize yourself with this to ensure you give them the right amount of support. Not all the time will the unit know what they wish to do but with support they will come up with a definite answer and true meaning of what they are all about. Affinity is the bond balance and how close the unit is to each other. Trust is something you all need to build together and as lovers this is a very touching subject. We understand that you need to know what your family member/lover is doing but understand it is important that you don't damage their growth. Besides trust in this unit you need to understand what they do and how they build a special bond to ensure they survive another day. Similar to a force they can be harmed on the job and if you have no trust in them or faith in them they can come home to a stressful environment. Communication is key and if you are willing to work with them on it just so you can understand the better. Now keep in mind they will not share with you all their plans nor details but they will help you understand what it is they do and how it may even impact you and your family. Synergy is how they fight seamlessly in battle. Hesitation in a battle can indeed cost them their lives. If they are not focused on the battle at hand it too can cost them. This is where you play an essential role here. If you can manage to keep your family member/lover happy and focused you will be aiding them in the synergy. As a unit they must fight in a certain frame of mind. If you can not help keep them happy or sane then this can cause a few issues. Again hesitation will cause them to not only just lose a battle but they can be harmed or worse. The unit should be training in this field often in order to be prepared for whenever a battle does occur. So remember a healthy mind keeps a healthy unit.
The Soothing Heart      A unit engages in battle pretty often. Sometimes they are in it multiple times within a day. By the time they come home they may be worn out and that is where you all come in. It is best to understand the many types of pain or fatigue they will experience at times. We will only cover the common aspects of injuries and how you can treat them at home. More server symptoms or conditions will require a physician. So please seek aide when it is needed to ensure your family member/lover recovers. Scratches/Gashes are one of the most common injuries a unit member will come home with. Some are small and won't leave a scar. Others are large enough to leave a scar or require medical attention. If it is very large seek aide. Small cuts need to be washed and bandages for a faster recovery. Small gashes should be covered in a gauze and wrapped. Change this bandage often to ensure it is healing. Blindness can occur by a dark or light attack and will need to be treated by a specialist in either field. If prolonged they can become permanently blinded. If the blindness is temporary sleep will help them recover. Deafness can be caused by an earth or water attack and needs to be treated by a specialist in either field. If prolonged they can become permanently deaf. If it is temporary popping the ears can solve the issues. Insanity is caused by darkness and this requires a light specialist or psychiatrist to help bring them down. Mute can be caused by dark attacks and should be treated by a light specialist. If prolonged it can become permanent. If it is temporary their voice will return after 3 hours. Sluggishness is caused by Earth attacks. Sleep is normally the best treatment. If it lasts for more than a day seek attention from an earth specialist or a doctor. Burns are caused by fire attacks and hurt a lot. 2nd degree and higher must be treated by a fire specialist or doctor. 3rd or fourth should be a doctor or burn center. Most burns can bee soothed with aloe or the scientific can "heal me". Suffocation is caused by water or fire attacks and needs medical treatment. Drowning is caused by water attacks and needs medical treatment. Fatigue can be settled through sleep. Exhaustion can be dealt with by sleeping. If it lasts more than a day seek medical attention.     Again these are only common effects your family member/ lover may experience from time to time. Most will need an element specialist and others sleep is good enough to solve this. Be aware of their conditions and assess the proper ways to handle their issues.
	Fractured/Shattered Love      here is where we experience the heartaches, gut-wrentching, world shattering events that no one wishes to experience at all. As it was mentioned before a unit may experience those who are intending to kill them. They must be prepared to face this. Just like we see them off everyday in a war we never know the outcome but are prepared for the worst if it comes to it. Handling any of this will be a difficult challenge not just for you but for your family and friends too. The other thing that will affect you all is if your family member/lover experiences a bond shatter. This, at times, can become worst than death itself. To watch and try to aide your person through their suffering is also another very difficult task it may just change your lives forever. I know this is a very tough thing to read but hold out and continue with me because this very well may happen to you and your family. Natural/Unnatural Death: No matter what no one can escape death. It is bound to happen to us at some point in time. When these things happen to a unit member however it turns things into a chaotic period and is hard to bare. Being strong here is really a challenge and that is very understandable. A natural death is just that. them passing when it is their time due to old age, sickness, or their body shutting down without a known cause. An unnatural death is one caused by medical complications, accidents, a freak accident, unexplained phenomenon and such. These deaths you can look into and have a lawyer walk you along the way to finding justice. Again this is a common one we all go through at some point. In Battle Death: This is when your family member/lover actually dies in their battle against another unit. You may get the news in various ways. Their partner, when in a better state of mind, may contact you and inform you. A Special Force Member may contact you in person or a Hound, if they are handling the case. If you are highly sensitive with the spiritual energies you may sense something is wrong. Only a very small percentage has this sense. Understand their partner is suffering with you all so include them in the recovery process. It takes them longer to recover but you assisting them in the recovery helps ease their pain as well as your own. To help with that you need to understand their bond. Bond is the link, connection, between a Sacrifice and their Fighter. It is their very heartbeat and essence which shows they are a unit by nature. This bond always starts as fragile and it takes the two to work together to make it strong. Like a thread that is being woven into a grand piece. Together the woven pieces make this bond strong but even a tiny snare can unravel it. If a bond is too fragile it will shatter and this causes devastating results. As a precaution we ask that all units try to keep a healthy bond at all times.     Now that the understanding of a bond is stated here is something we touched lightly on before. Sometimes, although rare, a unit may not get along with each other. Some will go as far enough as to break the bond damaging not just themselves but their partners. This in turn causes the family and lovers to panic because everything happens in such a fast pace we tend to be just speechless. Helping your family member/lover to cope and seek treatment is essential. They will take a while in order to be back to normal or near normal but please have them checked out every 2-3 months so you can find medical conditions and how sever they may be. Internal fracturing is when someone in the unit decides to break off the bond and make themselves unusable by their person for life. This is also known as stripping. The street term for it is common and yet this practice is rare now. Some countries have it as an illegal practice. This is when a Fighter or Sacrifice decides to break the already fragile and cracked bond. This shattering effect causes a lot of pain because it is them tearing it from the heart and breaking it physically. Effects vary based on the person.  The name will have a scar on it and your bond will be very thin even if you bind to another. External fracturing is when an outside source forces the bond to break. This is when the bond is physically exposed and is cut from them both. Sometimes this can cause death to one or both members. Only a very high level unit can summon forth someone else's bond. There are evil people in this world willing to cut and sever bonds for their guilty pleasure. This is usually done by older members of a family or at times a syndicate. Mostly the elder members still know this method on pulling out a bond physically and doing what they deem needs to be done. This causes a lot of harm to the unit because at times they may not be able to stand seeing each other. They can try to re-bond but it will need lots of therapy and rehabilitation.     Both are extremely painful and leave sever consequences. This is why it is stated for you all to be as supportive as possible. Do whatever you need to do in order to help calm, relax, treat and heal your family member/lover. Everyone will play a key role in their recovery. Seek assistance at once to help find any medical or psychological issues. Because the bond was broken they will have some minor issues and some may have sever ones. Extra TLC is in need and monitoring of them is a must to keep their suffering down.
Mending Beyond     We are the medics on the side of the battlefield, the caregivers when things go astray. We are the police when we need to break troubles apart, we are the love that heals everything around our family. If you become broken we will mend you in more ways than one. If you are suffering we will be there to ease your pain. No matter the ways of heartache and hurt we are there to drive them all away. The people we care for are in a unique world that they can only share with us but that doesn't stop us from being their family.     As a child we teach them how to play and laugh the pain away. As a sibling we teach them no one can harass them but us. But we also prove to them we have their back every step of the way. As a Parent we are their protectors when we can be. We also show them how to love and teach them this is something the shall never forget. As a Lover we teach them they are our world and we will do everything we can to help them. Sharing love and protection along with the strength many may lack. We are their pillars when things are tough. No matter what we will not back down from the struggle. So tell me are you one of us?
