A protector's healing hands.
Protector is the term for a chosen supernatural who manifests strong protective powers whenever he or she feels the need to defend others from danger. The powers of a protector can rival (even outmatch) other supernaturals easily, but they only manifest in a moment of protective desire and are inactive when the protectors themselves are in danger.
Description
Generally, a protector is a rare subspecies that could be ascended from any supernatural species, but they only appear once every century. Since protectors are rare, very few supernaturals have ever met them. When they know someone is in danger, any emotion of fear or panic subsides and calmness washes over them to help them carry out their mission to save those in need.
If a half-supernatural is descended from supernaturally gifted humans, they can also be qualified to become protectors.
Protectors are known to be kind-hearted and virtuous personality-wise.
They are also sometimes chosen to become holy warriors to fight a great evil.
History
When Daniel enlisted to join the army for the Cold War, he saved a defenseless woman by attacking her assailant but was killed by a boy who came in afterward, thinking he was the danger.
Kylie started manifesting enhanced physical strength and speed every time she saw someone in danger. She was able to break down an oaken door with her shoulder when she thought Derek Lakes was hurt, toss Selynn into a lake when worried about her mom, toss Fredericka Lakota out of her cabin to protect her cat/skunk, and later smash down a concrete wall to save an injured Lucas Parker. She also displayed the gift of healing to cure her friend's cancer and later save Derek's life.
Powers and abilities
Their powers vary and appear at the most appropriate time, depending on the situation.
- Power Shifting to call on the protector's immense powers needed to protect someone.
- Healing Touch when someone is dying or injured. This power, however, is only effective on those who are still alive.
- Enhanced Strength if another individual is being tormented.
- Enhanced Speed when they know someone from afar is in danger.
- Invulnerability when the protector wishes to defend the needed individual or to block an attack directed at someone.
- Thermokinesis to lower the protector's temperature to withstand heat and fire.
For chameleon protectors, they can change species to alter their powers.
Known Protectors
Notes
- Della and Miranda once called Kylie "Madame Theresa" for being exceptionally good-natured.
- Being a protector is viewed as something of an honor because they are only active when they protect others, while Reborns are permanently at full power.
