Nazar

Abilities

• 
  
  
  

  ➣Immortality and Regeneration ▪ Although no longer a pure creature, Nazar retains the Unicorn gift of long life. At not quite four hundred years of age, he's considered young for his species, the equivalent of early twenties perhaps. He has the potential to live for thousands of years, his delving into the dark arts, serving to only further extend his potential lifespan. He can heal from all but the most grievous injuries at an accelerated rate, although this is not instant. His corruption has cost him some of this natural rejuvenation, before his fall into darkness, this process was near instant and could be sped by drawing in natural energies of wild places.

  ➣Silver Blood ▪ His blood is still for the most part like that of his kin and is thick like mercury, although it's taken on a slightly darker hue and it can no longer used to craft a drought of immortality. It still has healing properties, although side effects tend to happen as a result; fevers, nightmares and if too much is used, the other may find themselves with additional complications, poisoning, even possible madness, or some sort of corruption taking place within themselves. Repeated use of his blood, either topically or orally can cause both an addiction, and make the addict somewhat enthralled with Nazar.

  ➣Ecokenetic (Tainted) ▪ Nazar is able to bond with a section of land, this can span up to ten miles in all directions. Normally, a unicorn who has done such would then be able to make the plants and animals flourish and prosper. Nazar's corruption means that any section of land he bonds to, will slowly twist. The trees will start to become gnarled and sinister looking, the plants that grow will sprout nasty thorns. More poisonous species will start to take root. The animals of that area of land will become altered over time as well, more savage and dangerous and some may start to go mad. Damage to his bonded region of land, will also harm him in turn.

  ➣Shifting ▪ His natural form is that of a Feral Unicorn. He is able to shift almost seamlessly to either anthropomorphic, or humanoid form, the process taking only seconds. He can always return to his natural form effortlessly, and shift between the other two several times per day before it causes him any sort of strain. Over time, he's slowly gained a preference for remaining in humanoid form. He can do this for weeks at a time before he needs to take a break and spend some time in feral form to rest and recover.

  ➣Magic (Corrupted Nature/Fae magics) ▪ Similar to his ability to bond to land, he can forcefully take control of a smaller patch of land. This is limited to a few dozen paces in his immediate area. He can force trees and plants to mutate and grow at an insanely accelerated rate, bringing twisting vines and thorny branches hurling or twisting towards a target. He can force the ground to heave and churn, and manipulate air and water to a degree. This however, is taxing, and generally better suited for use in intimidation or a quick diversion/defense. He also is able to cause temporary madness or terror in wild animals, if they are within close range, or force them to attack a target. He cannot to this to an area if it is already 'protected' or warded in some way, such as by holy wards, or if another Unicorn or Fae-creature has bonded to the land beforehand.

  ➣Magic (Arcane) ▪ Above all else, Nazar is a potent Sorcerer. He is adept at manipulating arcane energies and bending them to his will. Whilst he's delved into more ritualized magic as well, and quite deeply into the Dark Arts, he is strongest as a 'spellslinger' and is able to hurl fire, lighting and blasts of magical energy when needed. He has spent many decades honing his skills in weaving spellforms. After the death of his sister, magical prowess became a lifelong obsession of his, as it was his own weakness that kept him from being able to save her, and it was through dark magics that he both took his revenge, and succumbed to the resulting corruption.

  
  
  
  
  
  

• Flaws and other Traits

  
  
  
  

  ➣Iron ▪ Being distantly related to Fae-folk, Nazar as an adverse reaction to iron. While the effect is not as strong as it is against a true Fae creature, it burns him, if it touches his skin, and being in contact with it severely muffles his magic and abilities. A wound made with iron has a high chance of festering, and will not heal properly. Steel, merely causes him a mild discomfort.

  ➣Holy▪ While the effect is not quite as potent as it would be against a demon or undead, or some being of pure evil, Nazar is also harmed by Holy magics. Angels, Paladins, and any using magic of 'pure light' or 'goodness' he is weak against. Wards meant to keep out wicked or tainted things, will often work against him as well.

  ➣Diet ▪ While not purely vegetarian, Nazar struggles to digest meat. Red meat or pork will make him ill, and too much Red meat will actually poison him. He can usually get away with a bit of seafood, or poultry, and he can consume eggs without too much trouble. He is fairly dependent on vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes. He has to eat quite a bit more than it seems like he should, especially if he's been using a lot of magic.

  ➣Purity ▪ As he has been corrupted, Nazar no longer can be lured and transfixed by a virgin. However, he generally knows if someone is or not, if he's within a few paces of them. While it's not quite an obsession, he does tend to fixate on 'pure' creatures, be they other unicorns, or simply 'pure' people. He feels a twisted attraction, mixed with loathing for them, and feels a compulsion to corrupt or tarnish them in some way.

  ➣Hatred▪ Nazar has a deep hatred of Elvish Nobility. To a lesser degree he despises any sort of 'typical' high and mighty noble sort, and he dislikes elves even more than other people. The sight of some snooty elf lord however, is likely to send him into a rage and have him plotting their demise. It was an Elf Lord, and his hunting party after all who brutally murdered his sister in front of him. He hates canines as well, although this seems to be more centered toward hound types. Baying and barking has been known to set off some rather unpredictable and irrational behavior in the Unicorn.

  ➣Corruption ▪ The taint that has marred Nazar's purity as a unicorn cannot be undone. There is nothing to 'heal' or remove or banish, as it's simply a part of who he is. While his personality, is still somewhat malleable one way or another, he can never be what he once was. He will always be tainted, tarnished on some level, even under the best of conditions and guidance. There is however, a chance of him falling even further into darkness and becoming a being of true evil. That, as well is something he can never escape from.
