Editing Faysal Anwar (section)

==Description==
In his familiar form he resembles a tall, long-nosed dog with long white fur,<ref>“Very well.  I have one guest I can tap for the task.  Faysal, do you think you could bear a message to the Duck Knight?”<br><br>His dog sat by the window, long white hair billowing in the wind.<br>[...]<br>That white dog… - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/07/24 Excerpt] from [[Signature 8.7]]</ref> an [[wikipedia::Afghan Hound|afghan hound]].<ref>
:Johannes seems to bear harsh wounds, no doubt tying back to his ambitious claim, with no use of one eye, one hand and one leg, though the tissues appear undamaged.  He bears a set of antique pipes as his implement, and has a Gatekeeper of the Seventh Ring (ref ''Astral Bodies: vol 3, and Prime Movers'') as his familiar, named ''Faysal Anwar'', which takes the form of a rather large Afghan Hound. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/01/07 Excerpt] from [[Bonds 1.6]]</ref> 

Other forms he has taken include:

* A humanoid figure too bright to look directly at, surrounded by distorted space.<ref>Faysal flared.  A flash of light, a gleam, a brief glimpse of a humanoid figure, too bright to look directly at, and the entire area seemed to bend, like it sometimes did in the science fiction shows, when a ship kicked off into hyperdrive and the area took a second to resettle.<br><br>Then the dog and paper were gone. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/07/2 Excerpt] from [[Signature 8.7]]</ref>
*Simultaneously: a great white bear on his hind feet, a shaggy-haired wolf, and a man of indeterminate age with shining white hair and beard that had never been cut.<ref name=":0">Shape wasn’t a mandatory thing for him.  He could be all things, if he needed to be, but no one form completely fit.  He wore three at the same time.  A great white bear on his hind feet, a shaggy-haired wolf, and a man, neither young nor old, with hair and beard that had never been cut.  The white of the hair and fur were so pure as to be shining. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/01/03 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14]]</ref>
* A white cat, dirty, but with enough white fur visible to suggest it could be beautiful if clean.<ref>If she woke up, she would only see a disheveled white cat perched on the little table at one corner of the balcony.  Dirty, but with enough white fur visible to suggest it could be beautiful, if left pristine. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/01/03 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14]]</ref>
*Fractal, glowing patterns resembling wings<ref>The darkness of his expression was countered by the spread of Faysal’s ‘wings’, though the wings were more a fractal pattern than true bird wings.  They reached further, and the light they emanated spread across the tower’s top. [...] Faysal’s wings continued to rotate in the background, shining past the stone pillars and railings that ringed the tower’s top, the shadows sliding endlessly to the left. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/02/21 Excerpt] from [[Judgment 16.10]]</ref> and an abstract body of white fur and artificial ivory flesh.<ref>Atop the large tower top was the opposition.  Faysal was at the back, wearing a gatekeeper’s form, a fractal and abstract image of wings and white fur and an artificial ivory flesh, glowing with light that trailed off and away, oddly small and weak in comparison to the darkness that surrounded it. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/02/19 Excerpt] from [[Judgment 16.9]]</ref>
* A flicker of an enormous being, leaving an afterimage of a great wheel with lesser wheels within it, a figure with seven arms, and a motif of wings.<ref>There was a flicker, like an image between two frames of a film, too fast for the eye to grasp.<br><br>Rose saw only the afterimage, a great wheel, with lesser wheels within it, a figure with seven arms, a motif of wings.  Far larger than this dog that stood before her. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/01/22 Excerpt] from [[Possession 15.7]]</ref>
*A beautiful man with short white hair and beard, barefoot and dressed in a gently rumpled shirt and khakis. To [[Johannes Lillegard|Johannes]]' [[Second Sight]], he is so connected to everything around him he appears to glow, yet the [[connections]] are softer and looser than normal connections.<ref name=":1">The man that stood in the doorway was beautiful, slight in build, white hair and beard cut short.  He wore a gently rumpled shirt and khaki pants, and his feet were bare.<br><br>Looking at the man with the ''sight'', Johannes could see how the man fed into everything around him.  Where other connections were straight lines, the man shimmered, as if connections tied him to every speck of dust, every splinter of wood.  When he looked, he could see connections to more distant things.  To ''himself''.  There was no tension, no rigidity to the lines.  The rules, very plainly, were ''different,'' where this man was involved.<br><br>The gleam of the countless individual connections made the man appear to ''shine'', in the lobby of this partially built apartment complex.  He made everything around him radiate with something just as fundamental as light. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/01/03 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14]]</ref>
