#reverences

Type: Reverence, a protective spirit that forms close bonds with their companion

Age: He’s existed for a long time, but has the energy of a younger spirit

Pronouns: He/him Appearance: Rit looks like a caramel albino ball python with brown feathered wings. He does not use his wings to fly, but he hovers in mid-air. He can be whatever size he pleases, but prefers to stay fairly small.

Personality: Rit is excitable and enthusiastic, often seeming childlike. He’s an adult and can be mature when needed, but he can be very bubbly and talkative. He likes to ask questions about human life and is interested in all manner of things.

What he’s looking for in a companion: “I would like someone who will tell me things!! I want to learn more about humans!! And I want to protect someone again, I have not been able to protect anyone since my Shield died. Please let me help with wards and defenses!!”

Waepians are an ancient type of spirit with two distinct clans: Swords and Shields. Each clan has distinct traits, but one cannot exist without the other. For every Sword there is a Shield, two people who form a bond from a young age and live out their lives together as partners in battle and in life.

Shields are, as their name implies, the more defensive of the two clans. They are guardians and protectors, sworn to protect and support their Sword.

Swords are more aggressive, more likely to charge into battle but also more likely to take action. They are warriors and fighters, sworn to defend and protect their shields.

Neither has more power, though their strengths lie in different places. Swords and Shields have very little conception of romance, as the most important bond is to their partner in battle. These bonds can be familial, platonic, romantic, and may or may not be sexual.

Shields are also bonded to a race of spirits called Reverences, winged snakes who specialize in protection and defense. The connection is very important for both of them, as Reverences need someone to help channel their power and their bond makes a Shield stronger and helps keep them alive.

Swords, on the other hand, bond with a race of eel-like creatures called Reminisces. Reminisces are, much like Swords are to Shields, the more aggressive counterpart. They specialize in combat magic and help to fuel the Sword’s power.

For a very long time, these races all lay dormant. Now, they’re finding their way back into the world and rebuilding what it was they lost so long ago.

I love both Warehouse 13 and Revenge as many many more shows, but I was intrigued by Warehouse reverencing Revenge twice. Once last episode and again at the end of last nights episode. There has to be a reason right? So I did some research and I found out that CCH Pounder who portrays the ever elusive miss Fredrick in Warehouse 13 also plays the very smart and maybe a bit devious Warden Sharon Stiles in a couple of episode of Revenge.

Are there more fans out there of both shows and could this be the reason for the reverences or do you guys have another idea?
