Common Ikiri as Qarins
On occasion, common Ikiri can and will band together as a collective to form an entity with a single functioning consciousness if they deem the action necessary. While this joining is not entirely rare in the Ventigaian wild, as Ikiri will often band together to complete given tasks, it is extremely rare to find a group of these Ikiri with a consciousness strong enough to make it a viable Qarin. Due to this particular rarity, Qarin of this type generally synergize easily with their host, and they are always fairly biologically compatible due to their selective and protective nature. Most of the Ikiri that make up a Qarin in this manner are warriors and guardians, and connect very willingly with their host in order to know how to better protect them.

Hosts that are privileged enough to have earned the trust of the common Ikiri eventually develop a relationship with them that can be described as that between a parent and child. No matter how mature the host may be, this kind of Qarin will always take a defensive philosophy when aiding their counterpart.
