i haven't done that in almost 4 years, and i only did it to bump my grades higher. they gave extra credit for a class of choice for each one knocked out, if it lasted over 2 hours, it would come with an A+. i wasn't the only one who did it, i did towards semester's end for the report card spike. bump a 3.8 to a 4.0 by knocking out an unlucky bully or few for 2 hours. this gave me the extra credits in the class i was missing.
A strange school indeed... it reminds me of something...
Oh, wait ! This is where I saw something like your situation above !
(one of the school scenes which displays some... similarities).

sounds like it has similarities. they also provided out of date textbooks. from who knows how many decades ago? but yeah, one could get extra credit through violence. it may not be the exact same school that i went to, but a similar one, it is.
A disturbing side-effect of 'loving' your Eidolon is that your not going to exactly propegate the race of either - kind of like someone having a 'hot' cyborg girlfriend/boyfriend in some sci-fi setting is going to have the partner of their dreams who obeys their every command but the concept of having a relationship with your Eidolon is more than disturbing....the intention of the class was to give someone focus on the whole summoning aspect of the game, to create creatures that fight the summoner and obey your commands.
Sort of like 'Final Fantasy' games....you dont exactly see those characters even 'implying' to think Shiva is hot or whatever...
Plus the desire to love ones 'Eidolon' is a little X-rated, you dont see Pokemon trainers falling in love with their humanoid Pokemon now do you...The whole intention of the class was to create a versatile `monster` into a party with unusual or weird abilities outside of what the PC`s have access too, but from playtesting it in my group all too often I notice their characters seem to be `developing` an unhealthy attraction to their summon which is going to be like a black mark on summoners of all alignments in society.
Summoners in-game are going to be stigmatised for that kind of behaviour so much that other members of society and yes even other characters even in-party are going to be weirded out by this fruitless, childless relationship...
Heres hoping Paizo draw the line somewhere and prevent this class from winding up in some XXX-Rated 3rd Party Sourcebook like The Book Of Erotic Fantasy for the d20 system (very disturbing)...

Some cool summoner stuff
I like the idea that the Eidolon is a extra planar partner rather than a slave, it makes a lot more sense.
While that more or less eliminates the silly evil summoner with the bear eidolon in a tutu it doesn't really address the original posters comment though, which is talking more about an emotional bond and is ultimately if perhaps strangely... very much compatible with the summoner class.
that's about the question i was trying to ask in the first post.
does the eidolon have a character and feelings and can it maybe even LOVE BACK?
sure, it's going to need some divine intervention or such to take such a relationship to a normal level, giving the eidolon a mortal body and soul.
i would say your eidolon can clearly state his objections if something is of questonable action, but will still help you to the best of it's abilities. and if your alignment changes because of that, you probably get another eidolon the next time.
there's enough in the multiverse for every summoner to get a matching eidolon, even one that has no problem with being mistreated or having to slay little children.
