Type: Coming of Age
Species: Eidolon
When a Eidolon reaches the age of eleven they are told to start focusing on what makes them unique. They are told to focus on their hopes and fears. They are told to focus on what makes them terrified and what they want to distance themselves from. They meditate on these things until age fifteen in which the ceremony officially commences.
First the Eidolon is tested on their intelligence. The intelligence tested on varies from person to person. Such as: for some it is mathematics and for others it is the arts. The parents choose what type of intelligence their child is to be tested on. This is because it's believed that parents have their children's best interest at heart and will help them any way they can. Of course, with abusive parents, sometimes things go wrong very fast. If a Eidolon fails this part of the ceremony they are cast out of their species' society.
Second the Eidolon must show a love for Mundi. This can range anywhere from cleaning a local park to holding a lecture about the history of the planet. If a Eidolon fails this part of the ceremony they are cast out of their species' society.
Finally, the Eidolon must test their endurance by surviving a week in some wilderness on the planet. No outside help is given to them and when the week is over they will have their second soul or they will be dead.
To a Eidolon, not having a second soul is worse than death.
