Characters[edit]

Tamers[edit]

Monster Tamers pass the natural power of the Tone from parent to child, thus creating long dynasties of heroes. Tamers are able to spot monsters and tame them. If the monster refuse to be subdued, they are captured and imprisoned in special containers, a Taming Box (Dombox). This containers has been specially treated in order to preserve the prisoner while preventing its escape. Every type of monsters needs its own special Taming Box (Dombox) and canning method. The Tamer’s special skill lies in mastering these methods and in knowing all the many types of monster races. Most importantly, a Tamer must master the Tone, which is extremely powerful but is strictly connected and dependent on the skills of the Tamers who wields it. Tamers have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, which helps them perceive the presence of monsters or danger in general.[7]

Monster Tamer’s Handbook[edit]

• The Tone — A natural energy that can subjugate Monsters and Phantoms. This talent is not just limited to taming. If it is developed correctly, it can unleash unexpected powers in its bearer. The hand gesture strengthens the Tamer’s orders and allows him/her to move through walls, breath under water, or tame telepathically. The Tone is weakened by the scent of lavender, and if a Tamer’s voice cannot be heard, his/her powers will not work.[8]
• The Taming Move — it is of utmost important to the Monster Tamer. The hand movement strengthens the orders of the voice and helps direct the flow of power. But it can work both ways: an incorrect gesture can ruin even the most persuasive orders of the voice.[8]
• The Canning Process — In order to imprison Monster-Skas in Taming Boxes (Domboxes), all Tamers have to follow the same procedure. First of all, the monster must be subdued using the power of the voice. Only when this has been done can the Move be used. The Tamer, with their right hand, makes a special canning move that sucks the monster safety into the Taming Box (Dombox). The final closing of the jar is of vital importance, because if it is not carried out quickly and firmly, the entire operation can be undone.[9]
• Developing the Tone — In order to do this, they use the Tone, an internal power that, though careful study and diligent practice, can be developed for uses far beyond their wildest imagination. A Tamer learns to use the Tone in many different ways in the course of their training. You can tell how experienced an aspiring Tamers is from the way they use the tone and from the number of ways he can apply it.[10]
• Tamers’ Clans — The Tone is a hereditary power, passed on parent to child through the lineage of the Great Tamers’ Clans. Every Family has a special way of Taming, which remains unchanged through the centuries. It is a quality, such as courage, strength or cunning, that helps the Tamer do their job. These characteristics will define the nature of the entire clan.[11]
• Tamers’ History — Historically, Tamers were an essential part of monster society and enjoyed great respect, because they defended Bibbur-Si from the Monster-Skas and Dark Phantoms. But then some of the Tamers abused their powers, canning and taming even good monsters. The Council of Tutors was forced to send the entire every Tamer Clan into exile and their dynasties were scattered and sent to Detention Oases in the cities below. Nowadays, Monster Tamers are visible and a normal part of human society.[12]

Keepers[edit]

Monster Keepers are humans who can «see» monsters, and allow them to live in their homes, in Detention Oases. They help the Tutors defend the monsters from the dangers of the human world as well as the monster world. The gift of Sight is passed from parent to child, and few special people, so that entire generations of Keepers can look after the Oasis in total secret.[13]

Gift of Sight[edit]

A Keeper can give the «Gift of Sight» to the successor by putting their hands over their eyes. Mrs. Barrymore did this to Elena so she could be a better keeper. The donor does not lose their vision because they’re only passing a tiny part of their powers. It’s then up to the young Keepers to strengthen their vision through time.[13]

Monster Keeper’s Handbook[edit]

Lesson in Keeper Studies[edit]

• The Keeper and the Monsters — While the Tutor of an Oasis watches over the detainees and tries to reform them, the Keeper brings them warmth and support. Therefore, they have to know the monsters’ personalities and their background, where they’re from and the reason for their tutelage. Every monster has its own needs, which the Keeper must know how to meet. As we know role of the Keeper is passed from parent to child, but they can be started fresh at any time.[14]
• A New World — When a young Keeper receives the «Gift of Sight», he/she experiences a moment of amazement and fright at the same time. Monsters, which he/she could only imagine in his/her mind until now, are certainly not what is expected. The new world that opens up before him/her can seem amazing and exciting, or frightening and bewildering.[15]
• Hello, meet your Keeper — Keepers mustn’t be shy with their monsters. They must be kind, but they must let them see that they are confident right from the start, or else they’ll take control of the house.[16]
• A Monstrous Test — When they first open an Oasis, they have to go through a trial period. The Keeper is given a few low-maintenance monsters that have committed minor offenses. If the Keeper shows to that he/she can perform the job, then a Tutor will come to the Oasis. He will be a strict Tutor for the other monsters that will arrive depending on the Oasis.[17]
• Theory and Practice — They need to complement the teachings of the Manual with practical experience. It’s important to study the rules and regulations, but they mustn’t forget that every monster is unique.[18]

Build your own Oasis[edit]

• The Detention Oasis — An Oasis worthy of its name should make all the guests feel comfortable, even though they each have different needs depending on which species they belong to. Therefore, a Keeper must know all the types of Monster-Si that may need accommodating in their colony.[14]
• Unexpected Surprises — Managing a group of monsters is a rather exhausting task, because it means having a house full of awkward guests who don’t always follow the human rules of good manners.[15]
• Quirks of an Oasis — There will be many changes in the Keeper’s house because of the monsters will try to recreate their own habitat within the Oasis.[16]
• Help is at Hand — Once a Tutor arrives, he or she will be able to help the Keeper maintain the Oasis to avoid chaos.[17]
