T a l e n t s:: Dareios has a way with children that even the best mothers would be envious of. He just seems to be able to understand them completely. Can recite poetry from memory. Is a surprisingly good baker.
Q u i r k s:: Flinches at the sound of chains clinking together. Often makes soft whinnies when happy, displeased or caught off-guard. Can more often than not be found day-dreaming. Will melt like butter when his hair is brushed.
S k i l l s:: Even though he was gifted with the ability to change into a human form, Dareios still retains his magical unicorn properties. His silvery blood can save people, even those an inch from death. His hair - either in his human form or horse form - is so strong it can be woven into bandages or rope, but is most often used in Sorcery or Potion Making. His horn can be ground up to be used to cure most common poisons. All these magical properties, of course, can only be obtained if he is killed in his true form; except for plucking his hair since that causes little harm.
Dareios was gifted with the ability to change into a human from a former Mistress in his early years, and can change forms between his true form and a half form.

P e r s o n a l i t y:: Being a gentle and calm creature by nature, it's no surprise that Dareios is pretty easy going and generally quite calm. Logical and thoughtful, there isn't a thing that Dareios doesn't put his whole heart into; if a task is going to be done, he does it right the first time or doesn't finish until he's sure his full attention has gone into it. He is an incredibly faithful and honest being too, being a creature of such purity this isn't much of a surprise. Lying to someone is something that Dareios finds incredibly hard to do, even little white lies. Unless he can justify a reason to not tell the truth - like telling his daughter about Santa Klaus - the male avoids it completely.
Even with such a bright and happy child, Dareios remains a rather quite and somewhat timid being, but can project confidence when he needs to. If he finds a subject that interests him he will research it until he feels satisfied; Dareios is quite the determined being. Although "violence" and "anger" are words that don't really associate well with Dareios, he will get angry and he will display violence if his family is under threat. This protective side is a pretty secret side and only appears when needed, but does tend to appear more if he hasn't run around in his animal form for a while. Thanks to his past, this secretive side extends pretty far into Dareios's personality, meaning it takes him a while to open up to people, and it generally means he sneaks off to go run around his large property where no-one will spot his pure white form.
H i s t o r y:: From what Dareios can remember, he came from Greece. Where, he wouldn't be able to tell you, partially because it's been so long but mainly because events into his early years of life have destroyed most of his memories. There are certain things he can speculate, like how he wound up being captured and sold into slavery; he was lured out of his forest home by a virgin female. Another assumption that Dareios made was that he lived around or close to sorcerer's, since how else would people be able to capture a unicorn? There are more lesser speculations, but they all live within the sporadic and jumbled memories that infest his mind. Dareios remembers being sold into slavery quite well, as well as being gifted (or cursed, depends how he feels at the time) with the power to hide his animal form. This was presented to him by his first Mistress, a powerful Witch who found him just days after being captured. She was the one that took him away from his homeland, or so he thinks; it makes the most sense given everything that's happened.
Many a time Dareios managed to escape from Mistresses thanks to his new found human form, but each time a different lady found him; even with his new human thoughts and urges he could still be lured by a virgin female. It took many a decade before Dareios could fix this flaw in his psyche, but by the time he did, he found he could block out other things too; pain, fear, sadness. By the time he'd reached his soon-to-be last Mistress, the man was barely a man at all. He was meek and submissive, the kind of slave most magic users didn't want. So this Mistress broke the rules. She spent all her time teaching Dareios how to integrate into society. She taught him how to be a gentleman, how to cook and even paid for him to get an education. Once bought to provide ingredients for potions, the unicorn became a new kind of project for the woman, a lasting tribute of the purest beauty in the world, able to hide itself away from society in plain sight. The woman died and left the unicorn everything; her home, her fortune, her memories.
Selling the house and everything that he didn't need, Dareios didn't know what to do now. Sure he'd been schooled and taught how to act properly in society, but what to actually do had him at a loss. He had been in slavery for almost all his life - 300 years in fact - and it was all he had known. Spending some time in the wild, Dareios locked all his fortunes away in a safe vault, ready to be attained at the right time; for the moment, the unicorn needed a sign of what to do. As weeks melted into months, months into years and years into decades, the man lived in various forests, often finding himself in good fortune when other creatures of myth stumbled across him. Dareios lived this way for years, and it was these decades of solitude he attributes to finding his way in life. Watching times change, the man began to notice that there was a lot of evil in this world; children going hungry, women being abused, men asserting dominance in the most disgusting ways. It had taken him a while, but Dareios knew what he wanted to do.
Emerging from the wild, the unicorn retrieved his fortune and promptly bought a house in the country. A house large enough for a simple therapists office; his years of schooling finally being put to use. Enrolling in every course he could find, the man trained himself day and night to be able to help those who had been hurt and abused like he once had. Dareios wanted to help those who couldn't reach out to anyone and needed guiding - Dareios became a helper to those in need. Setting up his private practise, the unicorn took a moment to ask himself "is this my right path in life?" Asking for a sign, it came in the form of a woman asking him for a favour; a young girl had been orphaned because her mother was murdered by her abusive husband. Looking into the dark brown eyes of the little African girl, Dareios had been given his sign in more ways than one. Opening up his business the very day her adoption paperwork was finalised, the unicorn began to reach out to the women and children that needed him.
Unfortunately, the older his daughter got, the more he needed to watch her. Trying to find a nanny to watch over the energetic girl was hard. So where do you turn to find someone to help? Dareios sadly knew of only one place he could go to... The Hôtel des Esclaves.
O t h e r:: Ikinya is Dareios's adopted daughter. While he never found any records of the girl's real parents or their tragic tale (oh, he looked), the unicorn has accepted the fact that the woman who brought Ikinya (EE-keen-yah) to him was nothing more than an illusion created by an ethereal force to bring Ikinya to him - Ikinya is a Spirit Guide in the form of a Black Panther. Although her Spirit Guide form resembles that of a panther kitten, she is just as cheeky and lively as any good eight year old. For the sake of normality, Dareios tries to stick with the adoption events as best as possible; he is convinced that people will freak out if they hear a "ghost" gave him a child to tell him he was doing the right thing.
