History

Unicorns are mythical creatures that have been around since ancient times. They are often portrayed as a white horse with a single, long horn protruding from their forehead. Stories about unicorns have been part of folklore for centuries before they were embraced by popular culture. Most unicorn lore associates them with innocence, purity and grace. Unicorns are often portrayed with symbols of luck and success, such as rainbows, hearts, and sparkles. While the look of a unicorn varies depending on the culture, most unicorns stand between 6-10 feet tall and are quite proud and regal. Unicorns have associations with magical powers, and many cultures believed that they had medicinal benefits. In some stories, unicorns could only be tamed by a pure virgin, while others associate them with the Virgin Mary. Despite their fantasy origin, unicorns have been embraced as symbols of hope and beauty, and have come to represent innocence, inner strength, and integrity in many cultures. From childhood stories to contemporary art, unicorns remain a popular part of fantasy culture around the world. In addition, they can be used to evoke feelings of fantasy and escapism, or nostalgia for a happier, more magical time. Unicorns have captivated the imaginations of people of all ages and walks of life, and have become a beloved part of many people's lives.

Powers and Abilities

• Unicorn Physiology - User with this ability either is or can transform into a Unicorn, which is usually described as a white horse-like animal with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead, and sometimes a goat's beard and cloven hooves, a horse's head, a deer's body, and a lion's tail. They are extremely wild woodland creatures, symbols of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin. In the encyclopedias, its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sicknesses.
  • Healing - User can restore biotic organisms to their optimal health, curing damaged or withered organisms, wounds, broken bones, low vitality, and diseases/poisoning. Though the user may potentially heal any form of bodily damage, the patient must be alive, even if hanging by a thin thread, in order to be healed; once the patient has died, it would transcend healing and would require resurrection instead.
  • Guardianship - Guardians are often those who are of noble birth or a high position of great historical or legendary importance. They have taken/been given responsibility to defend, protect and, if needed, avenge the focus of their protection, which can be an object, place, concept, or person (throne/crown, village/gate/country/planet, love/good/harmony, royal heir/chosen prophet, etc.) among other things.

To do this, they gain enhanced physical and mental capabilities, many additional mystical or magical abilities, and often specific weapons/tools that allow them to perform supernatural feats to help their cause.
