Gender: Male
Name: Moseth
Species: Xeriin (Myth-Type/Unicorn)
Gender: Male
APPEARANCE
Young, fair, and somewhat androgynous, Moseth's mane is drawn back in long golden locks, well-maintained of in spite of the rags upon his fine form. A spiral ivory horn adorns his forehead between quivering sky blue eyes. The same blonde hairs burst from his tailbone. His clothes have been altered to accommodate for this. The last thing of curious note are his feet - which are not the normal human feet, but hooves, adorned with iron horseshoe guards.

ABILITIES
- Healing: When Moseth’s horn glows, he is activating his reiatsu. This reiatsu is generally of the light element with trace elements of earth and water, and acts on natural bodily processes, supercharging them and guiding them in repairing themselves. This causes a regeneration effect so long as Moseth is channeling the energy within an arms length. The seriousness of the wound can affect the regeneration process as well as how much magic is required - however, this process can even regrow amputated limbs, depending on the freshness of the wound. Excessive usage of this magic can leave Moseth extremely ill. It should be noted that Moseth has the unrefined ability to tap into his own life force for healing - if it is somehow activated (such as by a loved one being gravely wounded), it can put him into a coma spanning weeks, months, or even outright kill him.
- Purification: Moseth’s magic can also purify moderately complex curses, toxins, venom, poisons, and diseases. While something like say a sorcerer-level disease or curse may be out of his ability, something like a snakebite, fever, or some minor ailments are well within his ability to purge.
- Wards: Moseth can channel his light magic into wards which last around localized areas no bigger than your average small campsite. These wards prevent magical detection by those of malicious intent, though these wards can be pierced by powerful enough beings. In addition, they do not prevent actually being seen, thought his can be remedied with certain illusion spells.
- Illusions: Moseth can also create illusions using light magic. These illusions are usually used to escape from trouble or to distract would be predators, rather than simply to deceive or trick.
- Shields/Barriers: Moseth can summon shields of crystalline light to nullify attacks - however, given his own lack of combat experience, these barriers can be easily shattered by a powerful enough attack.
- Dreamsage: Moseth has learned the ways of dreamsages from Ning Su. Able to enter a person’s dream, he often attempts to provide calm and tranquility for the younger members of the orphanage, especially those that live with traumatic nightmares from whatever orphaned them in the first place.
- Surprisingly Physical Fitness: While Moseth has not refined any of his physicality, a unicorn is closely related to horses, and Moseth himself is granted with swiftness, strength, and endurance of such beasts. This translates more to ‘above average’ rather than any superhuman feats, but should be noted.
- Singing: Moseth is shy about it, but has a natural alto/tenor voice and is quite skilled with it. While he tends to stumble when performing, he does tend to sing to himself when he is alone, which can entrance eavesdroppers.
WEAKNESSES
- Combat Trauma: Weapons tend to make Moseth cringe and stiffen, hampering his ability to think and act. While his instructors theorize that he may eventually overcome this hindrance, so far their efforts have been highly unsuccessful
- Too much TLC: While Moseth’s adeptness with healing is prodigy-levels, he has poor control over it, and often overtaxes himself. This makes him a poor candidate for healing masses, as he often overestimates his own reserves and underestimates his levels of fatigue.
BACKGROUND
Moseth was born to a songbird skykin xeriin and a deer forestkin xeriin who fell in love, and in their youthful passion, conceived a child. His mother left with the child, attempting to keep her cervine lover safe. However, three years after his birth, a plague happened upon the xeriin settlement, and they sought a cause - something to blame.
Under a sense of guilt, a friend of the family revealed what had happened. And it was believed that these two’s union was what brought about the plague. The cervine male was brutally executed, and the mother was hunted down. But before they could find her, she came down with the plague herself - which only confirmed her guilt in the eyes of her hunters. In spite of being deathly ill, they slaughtered her anyway in front of his four-year old eyes.
Out of a sense of guilt, the family friend made hasty arrangements to have the myth-type xeriin to be brought to the monastery in the Darklight Mountains of the Vystrian realm. Passed from caravan to caravan, he finally arrived to his no home.
Having only known loss due to the violence of those that would reject myth-type xeriin, as well as the suffering people who were also suffering crisis can bring about, he has dedicated himself to preventing violence via assuaging the suffering of others.
A faint, haunting, eerily beautiful melody occasionally reminds him to keep moving forward. A lullaby his mother sang him. The melody echoes again and again. This melody eventually encouraged him to start humming, then singing a small song.
Little horse, wand’ring ‘long the river way
Long since pushed from the herd called home,
Long since the little horse galloped far astray
Whispers of the wind call him home, call him home
Whispers of the wind call the little horse home.
