Sentient Wonders – singing swords, AI computers, English-accented power-suit guidance systems, and so forth – could, with the Storyteller’s permission, be purchased with a Background like Ally, Familiar, Mentor or Retainer. In this case, the character is the Wonder and the Wonder is the character.

Like any other character, of course, a sentient Wonder will have its own personality, desires, agendas and needs… characteristics that the “owner” might not share. Perf’s homi­ cidal relationship with the Sword of Fighting in the webseries JourneyQuest shows just how obnoxious such bonds can become.
