The figure's name:

Onite - combination of 'Granite' and 'Onyx'
Occasionally nicknamed 'Oni'


Oni (鬼 ?) are a kind of yōkai from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. They are popular characters in Japanese art, literature and theatre.


What is it's quest?:


Onite's quest is to sculpt figures from every rock, stone, pebble and boulder in existence.


Why does it have this quest?:


The rather odd, disfigured cat towers before you, casting a dark, foreboding shadow over the surrounding area.
This certainly wasn't like any other cat you have seen.
The feline was made entirely of rocks and stones, bound together by some supernatural force.
He - you had a feeling it was a he - could be nothing else but one of the Animae Perit.
You had heard stories about these poor souls, sorrowful tales about their mission to accomplish their nearly impossible tasks that would free them from their unfortunate state.
Their blank, emotionless face is unnerving.
Suddenly they spoke - Their voice was hollow, rough and had a hint of sadness as it echoed in your head. The cat spoke slowly. You were surprised to hear their voice had an oddly..Musical tone to it.
"Welcome..Mortal..To my..Humble..Abode..I am Onite..The sculptor..The carver..The stone imbued...With a soul..Do you..Wish..To hear..Why..I am..Forever cursed..To be..In..This..State..?"
Unease pricked at you..It probably wasn't a good idea to stick around for much longer. But you knew you had to satisfy your growing curiosity. How did this orb cat end up like this?
You nod, and the cat begins.
"I was...A normal..Cat..Once..Not much different..Than you.."
"Me..And my family..Lived on a..Cliffside..By..the sea.."
You gasp in surprise as an image formed in your head. A simple, quaint house stood on a cliffside, overlooking a shimmering, turquoise sea. Waves rolled over the surface of the water, lapping gently on the soft white sand of a beach. The vividness of the vision shocked you, and you realized Onite was picturing his memories in your mind.
"It..Was beautiful."
"My beloved mate..And I..Would take walks..On the beach..In our spare..Time..We would..Watch the sunsets and sunrises...Together..Those times..I miss them.."
"I..Was a sculptor..You see..A rather well known..And respected one.."
"I had a...Talent.."
"My sculptures..They..Had a uniqueness..To them..Most sculptures..Don't have..Many would agree..That..They looked..So..Very.."
The image of a sculpture formed in your mind. It was of a swan - spreading it's wings, about to take flight. The intricateness and details took your breath away - It almost seemed..
"..Real..And what they say..Is not far..From..The truth.."
"Every night..As the clock..Strikes..Twelve..The sculptures..Come..To..Life.."
For the second time, you gasp, as the swan suddenly leapt from it's pedestal and started to fly.
"It..Is..Quite a wonder..Thing is..I only..Carve my sculptures..From the finest stone..Mined from..The cliffside..Where I make..My home..And..The stone I use..Is..Enchanted..For they say..That a goddess..Once resided..In a cave..Hidden in the cliff..And..Her presence..Gave the stones surrounding her..The gift..Of..Life.."
"A secret..Like..This..Is..Hard..To keep..Hidden..The locals..Knew of..The carver..By the sea..Whose sculptures..Had a life-like..Quality.."
"Only me..And my family..Knew that..Indeed..They were alive..Or at least..I thought so.."
Onite made a shuddering sigh then continued.
"One day..An odd fellow..Came by..A traveler..By the..Looks of it..Charming..He was.."
"Revealed himself..To be..A sorcerer..Offered me anything..I wanted..Wealth..Fame..Power.."
"In exchange..I would..Carve him..An immortal army..Out of stone.."
"I have never..Desired..Any..Of..These..Riches..And..My sculptures..Were not meant..To be..Killing..Machines.."
"I explained..To him..My sculptures..Were...Peaceful..Friendly..I had..No desire..To turn them..Into..Bloodthirsty..Soldiers..I turned..Him..Down.."
"He..Was furious..More corrupt..Than I imagined.."
Was that a silvery tear flowing down his rocky face...?
"H-he..Took my family..Killed..My mate..Leanna..First..Then..My..Children..Oh..They..Were..Too young..Rosa..Joey..Right..In front of me.."
"I still..Remember..Their screams.."
A chill ran down your spine.
"Then..My sculptures..My beloved..Sculptures..The sculptures..I poured all..My life..And soul..Into..Every detail..Every curve..Every crack..He smashed them..Each..And..Every one..
"Casting a spell..on me..He bound me..Into the shattered pieces..of..My sculptures..And..I would..Not be freed..Until..I carved..Every single stone..On this planet.."
His voice turned bitter.
"My home..He burned it down..Everything I loved..And cared for..Was gone."
"This is..My curse..To wander the earth..Doing the only thing..I knew best..To carve sculptures.."
He picked up a small figurine on the ground beside him. It was a tiny stone sculpture of a family of four cats building a sand castle.
"I wish..I could walk..On our beach..Again..Listen to the..Song of..The waves..To the whistling of the..Wind..The cry..Of the seagulls..But..Alas..I never will.."
Shaking his head, he tucked away the tiny sculpture.
"Thank you..For listening.."
You blinked - and in a second, Onite was gone. In his place was a sculpture - no bigger than your hand - of a dancing swan. You picked it up, inspecting it. Suddenly, it almost seemed to move. Rubbing your eyes, you pocket the small sculpture, and start walking back home. You have heard plenty of odd stories..But none as odd as this.



For how long are the souls tied to mortal objects?:


Their souls are tied to mortal objects until they complete their near impossible quest.

The figure's name: Cliff


What is it's quest?:To find a fossil from High Peak Cliff.


Why does it have this quest?: This is the story of how he came to be the way he is. Cliff was a normal orb cat with a normal life. His hobbies consisted of doing nothing but camping. One breezing June day Cliff decided to camp near High Peak Cliff. He set up camp and decided to go exploring down to the rapids below High peak Cliff. He hiked for hours before he reached the Roaring Rapids. Beside the name the rapids really wasn't that strong. Cliff spent the morning walking around in the rapids looking for the fossil stones that had been told to be in the rapids that had fallen from the cliff. Cliff was having a great time searching through the bitter cold water for the stones. Though he hadn't found any he had found some pretty cool rocks buried in the depth's of the rapids. It had struck noon and the sun was in full sky. Cliff felt nice and cool in the rapids vs. hiking back up in the sweltering sun. But what he didn't know was that at noon the Roaring Rapids actually do become roaring rapids. Cliff was still in the trickling water when the rapids started up. There was no going back now. Cliff fought with the rapids for air. What he didn't know was that he would have to stay alive for two miles before he would get into the forest; where there had been a storm the night before, which meant that there would be logs sticking up from the water. But by the time the two miles were done it was too late. There in the rapids was Cliffs corpse lying in the water. At the strike of midnight the rapids cool off and become the mini rapids they were that morning. As the water drained Cliff's body sticks to the bottom of the rapids; lying on the rocks at the bottom of the one foot depth. But something miraculous happens. At the moment Cliff's body touches the rocks his soul transfers from his body the the stones he was touching. With the shape of a cat the rocks soon shakily stands and starts his quest. To find what he was searching for before he died. A fossil from the cliff.


(Just to make sure you read the passage) For how long are the souls tied to mortal objects?: Until they finish their quest.
