Bonded Companion, Affina: Many unexplained phenomena surround an esper's powers and their link to the mysterious workings of the universe. One such mystery is their ability to create a living extension of themselves. These mysterious beings, often called "affina" among the espers, are known to the galaxy as bonded companions. Bonded companions are created when an esper imbues a part of their essence into a piece of solidified sorium. The process is complex, requiring intense focus and concentration. It's only achievable with the mastery of an esper power, such as the bonded companion talent. There have been stories of altertative methods of creating these companions from material other than sorium, such as dark matter or plasma from the core of a star. The result is a semi-intelligent creature of the esper's design, which forms from the material used during the process. The creature is self-aware and bears its own personality and traits. However, they don't fall under any established definitions of carbon-based life. Due to this similarity to other self-aware automatons and artificial intelligences, scholars and scientists have exchanged many theories as to why these companions may or may not qualify as living beings.
