The crossed parts (like this) are information from the past, that got changed!
Given abilities:
Nietz's power allows him to change any sort of matter or antimatter into another kind of it with his will. The range of his power is unknown. The best effects are seen when he touches the object or space he wants to "edit", it works as well with only seeing specified matter but it's not as precise as while touching. Changing matter neither touching nor seeing it is difficult and works similar to the battleship game, he cannot be sure what he changes and he can change only specific space, not specific objects, e.g. he can select a sphere of air but cannot select only a bird flying in that sphere. The specific space he is able to select is various, it can be a sphere, cube, cuboid, line, etc.
The kind of "edits" is not specified, it can be anything. He can change an object into another object, change only the color of an object, change the substance the object is made of and change only specific parts of an object, same goes for selected space. To "make" an object he needs to select a space and create it by changing the air inside. To "delete" an object he simply needs to select it and change it into e.g. oxygen. He also can copy certain objects and selected space. With this ability, he can create and destroy whatever he wants, including bodies of living creatures. However, he cannot create a living creature as it would require creating a soul, which is not a matter in any way.
Nietz can create life using already existing souls though. His natural eyes allow him to see souls and his body allows him to hold souls and so, place them inside a new body. Any soul theoretically can be placed in any kind of body although it doesn't always work due to the information of the previous body "written" inside the soul. He is able to read this information and so, recreate the body of the dead owner. Soul placed in that body will always be accepted if the owner is not dead because of old age (this kind of soul has no energy left to make the body alive).
Effects on the body:
[Small NSFW warning!!]
Due to the nature of his blessing, Nitzche's body is affected by it as well. The main effect is the immortality. His soul creates energy all the time, instead of losing it with age like a normal person. Thanks to it, his soul is very "dense". His soul barrier is also dense in order to allow him to hold souls. Usually, when soul lost enough power, it is able to escape through the soul barrier, with both dense soul and dense barrier, it's impossible for Nietz. Along with immortal soul, his body is also technically immortal. His power automatically replaces old tissue, not allowing him to age. His body is "blocked" at about 20-year-old anatomy.
The list of changes in his body doesn't end on immortality. His body is some kind of "closed environment" and it doesn't want to take anything in or give anything out. This rule applies to almost everything. His body deletes all not wanted substances that get inside in any way, like blades, viruses, poisons or alcohol. The exception here is anything that he eats, everything that is in his stomach is changed to edible matter. This "food" goes through the digestive system with the difference that everything that cannot be digested, is either changed to something that can or is "deleted". This way, Nietz neither defecate nor urinate. There is a lot of other natural liquids that should go out but his body doesn't accept them to do so, like saliva, tears, and sperm. Saliva works the normal way and there is no problem with taking it out of the body. Tears and sperm, on the other hand, are almost impossible to be seen. The blessing does not allow normal cry or ejaculation while the brain gives an order to do so. It creates some sort of pressure which damages the tissue and so, tears and sperm are replaced with blood. To get these two substances (still mixed with blood though) brain needs to give order for a long time, estimated up to a few hours.
In addition to the fact it's unlikely to make him ejaculate, an erection hurts him. Again, the blessing and the brain gives different orders and pain caused by this strong. Even if somehow he managed to ejaculate, he cannot impregnate any mare. The blessing treats splitting DNA into sperm cells as an error and they get either double or none DNA, which causes infertility. The act of sex is harmful to his body and only ways to stop it are to make him finish with normal orgasm (first ones are dry with blood) or to hurt him.
Any damage done to his body is recovered and no scars are left. The blessing wants the body to stay in its original state. Any objects stuck inside is deleted and missing tissue is replaced with a new one. If whole organs are missing, the blessing makes new ones. An exception is made if the missing parts are limbs or horn. The body doesn't treat them as important to the living. If a limb is gone, the blessing will heal the wound but won't create a new one. To get the limb back, Nietz needs to manually make or copy one, cut the healed wound and attach them to each other with the blessing. The other method is to make them touch each other for a few days and it usually attaches themselves without problems. If the horn is broken or gone, the blessing ignores it.
Nitzche's natural eyes allow him to see souls only. Edit: Nitzche's natural eyes allow him to see a few types of energy, including soul energy. His vision is black and all energy sources are seen as white, the more energy, the more white it looks. The visible energy types are for example soul energy (living creatures), electricity, mechanical energy, wind energy, thermal energy. With his natural eyes, he cannot see "normal" things, like colors or detailed shapes. He is able to change the type of eyes but he needs to do it manually. This change hurts and the finished product is rarely perfect. Usually, the eyes have some sort of illness, like myopia or daltonism, there are causes when eyes are blind. The left eye always is affected by pupula duplex (two irises and pupils) when having normal horse eyes, it cannot be changed under any circumstances, the cause of it is unknown.
The adaptation abilities of his body also got changed. The body does not react to temperature changes, e.g. it doesn't sweat, shiver or change body temperature. In such cases, the blessing uses additional energy to make the body the right temperature. Edit: Blessing doesn't always change the temperature anymore. This might be caused by the fact, almost none of these attempts prevented him from dying. During the act of starvation, blessing doesn't work this way though. It does not create calories but it prevents the body from using the fat and muscles as a source of food. Because of this, Nietz needs to get food all the time as he cannot store excess calories to use them later.
Requirements:
While normal blessings don't require special treatment that is impossible for a normal person, Nietz's blessing requires way more soul power than he is able to produce. His body produces the amount of energy only to make the body working and if he wants to use his power or special abilities of his body (e.g. healing), he needs additional energy. To gain it, he needs to "eat" a soul of another person. The swallowed soul gets its power taken until it becomes so thin it can escape the dense soul barrier of Nitzche. Souls of other creatures and soul stones don't work and energy is not taken from them, the cause is unknown. When the additional energy is about to be gone, the body begs for it in a similar way it begs for food. Nietz feels hunger and can go crazy if don't get it for a long time.
Effects on other people:
The one and the only thing that involuntarily affects other people is his soul energy. As his soul creates energy all the time, some of this energy escapes his body, making some sort of radiation, like soul stones. The power that escapes from his body, enters the bodies of people around him, making them more likely to have a blessed offspring.
The "death" state:
Even though Nitzche is immortal, he can "die" for some time. When his body is damaged enough for a normal person to be killed, he "dies". Dying takes him a bit more time as blessing wants to prevent it. During the state of "death", he fells unconscious, like he was sleeping. Edit: During the state of "death" Nietz falls into a coma and in most cases, he can feel, hear and even see everything but he cannot move. The cases when he "turn off" everything is rarely seen.
Nitzche stays in this state until he is fully recovered. His blessing heals everything using the energy he originally produced to make the body work right. Edit: Nitzsche stays in this state until the lethal wounds are healed. His blessing heals the minimal damage needed for him to "wake up" and provide the body with more energy. As the blessing uses only the energy he produces naturally, it takes a long time to him to recover. Recovering from for example cut throat takes approximately two months, death from blood loss about one month, death from starvation or hypothermia takes from one to six months. The length of recovery strongly depends on the environment, for example, he recovers quicker in normal place than in extremely cold or underground.
When he "wakes up", his body still needs to recover the rest of the wounds. As always, no scar is visible after such a healing. There is an exception though. When Nietz gets quick, traumatic death, the body lefts a scar. It acts as a reminder of his mistakes in the past. If death takes long or is not traumatic, a scar is not visible.
Personality
Reclusive | Lonesome | Outcast
He prefers to stay unseen by others. He lives alone, as far away from civilization as possible. He tries not to make contact with anyone and the only times he meets someone seems to be times when he needs to kill. He forces himself to this solitary state thinking it is good for him, but in reality, it only hurts him. He deeply dreams about someone to talk to but at the same time knows he would not be accepted as a murderer. He also does not want to get attached to someone "mortal" so he rejects any thought about even making any sort of contact with anyone.
Obsessed | Distressed | Depressed
Nietz cannot stop thinking about his fate and his past. The immortality influences all his choices and his life as a whole. Knowing the fact he will be here forever made him reckless with his decisions, especially the ones that could hurt him. His own life lost a meaning for him and he changed his way of looking at people. He sees himself as something different, as something not allowed to live a life of a regular person. He undermines his being as a unicorn, as a horse, as an individual of his own species because of how different he is. Living away with time only for his thoughts not only makes him dismal, but hollow.
Hopeless | Patient | Naive
Through many years of his life, the stallion experienced a lot of failures. Every single time all his efforts went down the drain and every single time his hope for a slightly better life waned more and more. Instead of acting, Nitzche began to wait. He doesn't believe anything he does can result in any positive outcome and so that he is not able to control his own life. He patiently waits for something to happen, something that could help him. All chances he encounters vanishes quickly because of his attitude.
Greedy | Selfish
His way of life made him never being satisfied with what he has. He always wants more, even when he already has enough to be satisfied. It happens with almost all situations, whenever he steals food, gets warmth or even eats. This greed is even stronger if it's about people that care about him. He wants to keep them for himself and be the center of attention. He will not let them go as long as they treat him good.
Calm | Quiet | Reticent
Nitzche usually doesn't talk to people but when he does, he does not talk much. He prefers to be quiet, mostly because he simply does not know how to talk to people. Only the people that get really close to him are able to get a long talk from his side. Even when talking to loved ones, Nietz is not able to describe his own emotions and show them. He feels them, usually way stronger than he should, but his face almost always stays the same. Of course, it doesn't mean he would never show any of them, some tend to be more visible. Because of this, he stays quiet as his feelings are generally "inside". They need to be really strong for him to show them. The pain is something hidden the most. He would never shout for help or cry loud. Meanwhile, happiness is something hidden the least. Even a small thing like finding a new blanked cause a smile on his face. There is a big exception to his behavior, he cries, A LOT, quiet.
Sensitive | Good-hearted | Kind
Despite the need for focusing on himself, Nietz tries to help everyone around him as much as possible. His immortality makes him think of everyone as "mortal" and he feels a need of protecting them and their lives. When he gets an opportunity to help someone in need, he for sure will do it, even if it means losing his own life. He tries not to hurt anyone in any way and so he does not steal and does not attack anyone unnecessary. His hunger of souls does not help him much in this. If killing a person, he waits as long as he can till he is not able to bear the hunger anymore. Even when killing a person, he tries not to kill anyone with children or a big family, however, it is not something he is able to recognize at first sight. No matter who he kills, he feels bad about it. He is highly empathetic and seeing anyone die is hard for him. He might stay with the body of someone he killed for days, mourning the person he knew nothing about.
Scared
It might seem that an immortal person has nothing to be scared about but Nietz is scared about everything. The most usual fear for him feeling is the pain, well, more pain than he already feels. Usually, his fear is related to people around him. He is scared of contact with people or having to kill them unnecessarily. Although the biggest fear of his is people finding out he is immortal.
Stubborn
Even though he makes decisions rarely, he treats them seriously and rarely changes his mind.
Easy getting attached | Easy to manipulate
Nitzche generally avoids people and does not want to make any contact with them. However, he cannot avoid people all his life and he sometimes finds someone he stays with for longer. In such a situation, that person might start to be very important to him in just a couple of days. He gets extremely attached to everyone who is willing to even talk to him because of his solitary life. He treats everyone who he is attached to like a family, he takes care about them and protects them at all costs, 24/7. As a result of it, such a person can easily manipulate Nietz. He wants them to be happy and as long as the request is not against his rule of killing innocents, he accepts it without any questions or doubts.
Backstory:
Long version - work in progress, 50/600 years done
Short version - after the long one
Trivia/Info:
- Nietz is multilingual and his native language is Latin. He has traveled a lot in his life and thanks to it, he learned a lot of useful languages. He is able to communicate in almost all parts of the world but he has big difficulties with pronunciation.
- The need for killing not only forces him to constantly move but also leaves him with a problem of dead bodies. If the area he is in is calm, he tends to make graves and bury the bodies as an act of atonement. If the area is more dangerous, he prefers not to risk anything and "delete" them wasting some amount of power. However, his stomach often forces him to a completely different approach. As a unicorn, his body is used to eat minerals and plants, not meat. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for him, he is able to digest anything and so, he tends to eat the bodies of people he killed. He absolutely hates both the act of cannibalism and taste of the meat though this saves him from starvation quite often.
- Even a little happiness or little sadness can cause him to cry and so he cries a lot. His expression usually doesn't change, just blood is running down his face.
- Nietz emitates some sort of "bad aura" making people and other creatures around him afraid. The cause of this is probably the overpowered power of his. Meeting him for the first time can be comparable with standing in front of a dragon. Your instinct will tell you to flee and even when you do not see him, you can feel him being around. You know he is able to kill you and you know if he is hunting you or not. Because of this, all animals stay away from him, whenever they are a small bird or a big carnivore. More aggressive animals might try to attack him but never will at the end. If any of them will be forced to stay near him, they will panic for a good amount of time.
- He is unable of feeling romantic love. However he can feel the other types of love, he has never felt this specific one. It might be associated with his fear of pain after losing someone dear to him.
- He loves warm places and is up to abandoning his need of food to stay in a safe and warm place for longer.
