Fide

Fide is Nomos's Summon Steed companion.

Appearance
Fide takes the appearance of a giant black labrador retriever due to her connection to Elnet, who's patron animal is a hound. She has the proportions of a large horse, standing 6ft tall at the shoulder, and has the strength to match this size. Additionally, the texture of her fur appears to be carved from solid black stone at a distance, and she bears the same colored eyes as her summoner Nomos, acting as a visual representation of her sharing much of his thoughts and memories.

Personality
Fide is most ways has the personality and disposition of a normal, coincidentally very large dog. The facets of her personality that do not align simply with "dog", are mainly gotten from Nomos, as she tends to regard people with the same emotional response that Nomos would, such as Fide comforting Nomos's companions like Io, Ivory, and Armani.

Background
Fide first joined the party in Session 14 (pre-twitch streaming), and served as a brief respite from the stress and fear of the recent release of Paranoia. Since then, Fide has been a stalwart ally and friend to the party, acting as a best friend, intimidating mount, and sometimes a very strange telephone by which the party can talk to Nomos.

Relationships
Nomos Afsolis:

As Nomos's summoned steed, it would be hard for him to find a friend who could possibly understand him more. Fide is a celestial being in the form of a 6+ foot tall black labrador retriever with whom Nomos shares a psychic link up to one mile away. It has also been stated that Fide tends to reflect the emotions and memories of Nomos, with her treating people that Nomos is familiar with in a similar fashion of emotion that Nomos would.

Dark:

Due to Fide's nature as a celestial, she has a predisposed dislike and distrust towards Armani's companion fallen angel, Dark. Fide is never outwardly aggressive towards Dark, but has never attempted to help him, and has even refused orders to work with or assist him from Nomos.

Traits

 * Trampling Charge: Moving 20ft towards a target then attacking it forces the opponent to make a DC14 strength save, which will prone the enemy if failed. If the enemy is knocked prone, Fide can make another attack as a bonus action.
 * Find Steed: As a spirit summoned by Nomos, Fide gains an intelligence of 6, the ability to understand common, be affected by any self targeted spells cast by Nomos when mounted, can act as a conduit through which Nomos can cast spells, and a telepathic communications link with Nomos for up to 1 mile away.

Trivia

 * Fide was supposed to die in Session 27 in the fight against the kidnappers in which the wizard Yesdov cast fireball. Fide inexplicably survived due to an audience member (Twitch user Crypticglow) spending 3,000 fate points to redeem a use of "STOP! You have violated the law!", declaring that "THE DOG SHALL NOT DIE".
