It is a bit weird so hear me out
4 pet owners, right? Some with obscure pets like a snake or a bird (is a bird an obscure pet?), and others with the usual cat or dog. However, one day, they wake up on a desolated planet, covered by ruins of a civilization long gone. And their pets are nowhere to be found. They go off in search for their precious companions, but discover some new abilities about themselves when they encounter the beings that had killed their new world….
Heyo! It is I, Headband, here with another half-cooked roleplay idea! So, these special abilities. Essentially, the characters have absorbed the pets in the process of getting to this new world. But, the smaller the pets are, the more abilities the owner gained! Say my character owned a German Shepard. The cap on the amount of abilities would be around 2 or 3, while someone who owned a mouse would have 6 or 7 corresponding with the skills or physical attributes a mouse has to survive out in the wild. Like I said, half-baked, so if there are any questions, ask away!
