| ::Plot:: - Spoiler:
The legends of the unicorns are from times long ago, when unicorns and humans as well as all other beings lived together in harmony. That was, until a sorcerer saw the beautiful Umbra in her human form and his heart grew heavy with lust for her. He captured her, using an anti-magic circlet that prevented her from changing into her true form. He raped her, defiling the innocence of the unicorn. He left her there, not caring what happened to her. She grew pregnant and her child was cursed, a shadow with no true form. The unicorn’s powers combined with those of the sorcerer and he grew stronger every day, killing his mother and fleeing from all. He began capturing humans and unicorns alike, using his dark powers to break their minds, summoning forth demons to take over their minds and bodies, thus creating the Infernus Exanime. He became known as The Shadow, the cursed one. The unicorns are not all the same, there a different types of the magical beings and each type lives in a different part of the Illusion Glades. The goddess of the unicorns, Istha, gave the unicorns a stone that contains her powers. This stone protected the unicorns from the humans who blamed them for the dissappearances and hunted them, forcing them to hide the location of the Glades with the stone's powers. The stone also kept the unicorns healthy and prosperous, preventing any evil from taking over the Glade. The Shadow desired this power and sent several of his Infernal unicorns to steal this stone from the Glades. As soon as the stone was removed from the Glades, sickness and disease fell upon many of the unicorns, drawing great concern from the goddess. Istha chose a small group of unicorns, summoning them to her temple in the heart of the Glades to go and retrieve the stone from The Shadow's lair deep in the Infernal Mountains. The heart of the goddess also knew that not all human's blamed the unicorns and that they would not stand a chance if The Shadow captured the magic of the stone, she also chose a small group of humans to join with the unicorns and together defeat The Shadow.
The Unicorns: - Spoiler:
The Caelestis Paeans-Celestial Healers ::Appearance:: pure white horse-like bodies, white or silver spiral horns, silver or white cloven hoofs, white manes and tails, their eyes range between shades of green and shades of brown or gold. They typically stand with their muzzles just below the jaws of most men. ::Class:: Healers ::Skills:: They are unmatched in their healing powers. They can heal any wound, the deeper of course the more energy it takes and the longer it takes to heal. Their fighting skills are not very good, they can defend themselves some but they tend to run rather than fight. ::Weakness:: They are drawn to innocence and always think the best of everyone. They can be naive and blind to evil when in the presence of innocence
The Noctiluca Umbra-Moon Shadows ::Appearance:: pure black horse-like bodies, muzzles come up to the shoulders of most men, manes and tails range from silver to dark gray, have long feline-like tails with patches of long hair going along the length of the tail, curved blade-like horns that are either silver, gold, or a mixture of both, their cloven hoofs are the same color as their horn so either silver, gold, or both, their eyes range from silver, gold, or a mixture of both. They are the smallest of the unicorns. ::Class:: Warriors ::Skills:: They are matched by the other unicorns in their fighting skills. They have a wide range of strong offensive magic and are the only unicorns with the ability to transform into a human form. They do not have very strong healing magic. They can heal minor injuries but with serious drain on their energy. They tend to stand their ground, almost recklessly. ::Weakness:: They cannot heal major injuries and they do not regain their energy until nighttime in the moonlight.
The Pinnatus Bellatrix-Winged Warriors ::Appearance:: the color of their horse-like bodies range in color from black to brown to white, mostly colors seen on horses, nothing unnatural. Same with their manes and tails although their tails are lion-like tails with a tuft of longer hair at the end, shorter tails then the Moon Shadows. Their horns are smaller than the others, more similar in appearance to the Healers, being a spiral shape. The horns and cloven hoofs vary between shades of gray, brown, and black. They have large angelic wings that also vary in color. Their eyes are usually browns, grays, greens, similar to the Healers. They are the largest of the unicorns, standing with their muzzles at eye level to most men. ::Class:: Warriors ::Skills:: They have both offensive and defensive magics, both of which are a medium strength. They are the most balanced of the unicorns, the most level headed and strategizing. They know when to stand their ground and when to run. They can heal more serious injuries then the Moon Shadows but not as serious as the Healers. ::Weakness:: They tend to want to think things through before acting upon them and sometimes take longer to make decisions. They typically try to reason things out before resorting to fighting, which can cost valuable time.
There is one last type of unicorn, one made by The Shadow. His Infernus Exanime, the Infernal Dead are the remnants of what used to be Unicorns and humans. Their minds are broken and taken over by demons summoned by The Shadow. Their appearance, for the unicorns, varies. Those taken by weaker demons only change in color, to a deep shadow black, darker even than the Moon Shadows. Everything on them is black except for their eyes, which are a deep crimson. The stronger demons change the appearance of the unicorns to a more demonic figure, some taking on two horns that are curved like those of a ram; others gain twisted horns, all in pure black. They vary in powers, some with stronger demons inside are very strong in the illusion magics, the weaker skilled in more basic black arts. They have no known physical weakness but they cannot stand to be in the presence of pure innocence and the touch from one of pure innocence burns them like a fire. The humans filled with the demons eyes become deep crimson and their skin darkens, their hair becomes pure black.
You can choose to be a unicorn chosen by Istha, a human chosen by Istha, or one of the Infernal unicorns or humans. You can have as many characters as you wish provided you can give each character the same attention. If I feel that you are not able to keep up with all of your characters, I will tell you to drop one or give it to someone else. ::Character Sheet:: - Spoiler:
Name: Age: (unicorns live typically to be around 800, unless you are an Infernal which do not die unless killed) Race: (if unicorn say what type) Appearance: (must follow the guidelines of that type)

| This looks fun. Might I join?
Name: Farrnan Fenstermacher Age: 15 Race: Human – Chosen by Istha Appearance:
Genetics Soft black hair falls around his ears in a gentle curl, making the boy look even younger than he already is. Deep blue eyes gaze at the world, almost constantly looking curious and awestruck due to their wide, round shape. Farrnan’s fair skin is speckled with freckles along the bridge of his nose and the top part of his cheeks. He is sweet faced and almost feminine looking with his long, thick lashes.
Lifestyle Farrnan is lanky and a bit on the clumsy side as far as looks go, for he is still growing (he is currently 5’10). He does not look like much, but that is a deceptive quality that often aids him. When Farrnan smiles, he smiles big. His grin is wide and contagious. He has fine, even teeth with the exception of a tiny chip on the top left front tooth. He always carries his weapon of choice (a wood staff) in the least threatening manner possible. | |
