animagi[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]An animagus can take the form of a single animal. This animal always has distinguishing marks that are representative of the witch or wizard. Training to become an animagus takes time and practice. It is a highly advanced form of Transfiguration that requires registration with the ministry of magic.
Special requirements: Your character must be above the age of twenty and has graduated with honors in Transfiguration. Character must be registered with the Ministry. Hogwarts students may be animagus, but shall be deemed animagus in training until their graduation.
Available: 2/4
legilimency[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]It is the ability to extract “emotions and memories” from someone. A legilimens cannot extract emotions/memories in the sense that they remove said memories – they can simply read and interpret them. It is easier to use legilimency on someone who is relaxed or weakened in some way. Eye contact is almost always required. Very few legilimens can enter someone’s mind without eye contact; however, they must be near the person they are using their talent on. Legilimency brings memories to the surface of someone’s mind; however, because the mind is a complex place, these memories are not always relevant. The memory that a legilimens is looking for needs to be brought to the front of someone’s mind before it can be read.
•A legilimens can plant false memories into someone’s head, but they cannot erase true memories.
•Legilimency must be taught. It is not inherited.
•Legilimency is not taught at Hogwarts.
Special requirements: Your character must be above the age of fifteen and must have learned this ability outside of Hogwarts.
Available: 1/6
metamorphmagi[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]Metamorphmagi are born not made. They have the ability to change their appearance by willing the change to happen. You can not suddenly become a metamorphmagus.
Special requirements: Your character must have inherited this ability, either from parents or grandparents.
Available: 0/4
occlumency[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]Occlumency is a branch of magic used to block the mental intrusion of a legilimens and other branches of magic meant to penetrate the mind. It is the only way to block the attack of a legilimens without avoiding physical nearness and eye contact. An occlumens must be able to fully clear their mind giving the legilimens nothing to latch onto. Only masters of occlumency can create false emotions and memories that are concrete enough to fool a legilimens.
•Occlumency is not taught at Hogwarts.
Special requirements: Your character must be over the age of fifteen and must have learned this ability outside of Hogwarts.
Available: 3/6
seers[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]True Seers are very rare. They have the ability to "see" the future and to make vague and cryptic prophecies about the future.
Special requirements: This ability is quite rare. There are only two available in Hogwarts and three in the wizarding community.
Available: 0/5
vampires[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]TVampires are considered “non-wizard part-humans” by the Ministry of Magic. They are highly regulated, taxed, and monitored by the ministry under new Anti-Vampire laws. The largest Vampire covens are located in Romania and Transylvania, because those countries are the two most tolerant of their kind.
•Pure silver can harm a vampire, the reaction of silver is much like a burn.
•Garlic does nothing to a vampire
•Centaurs believe that vampires go against nature
•The hands of a vampire are typically icy cold
•Sunlight can severely hurt a vampire depending on age and time of day (The older a vampire, the more sunlight they can withstand and the earlier the day, the worse the sun hurts)
•Typically vampires are stronger than humans
•Vampires heal more quickly than humans
•Vampires can be harmed by spells but they recover much quicker than a human
•A vampire can only be killed by driving a wooden stake through its heart, or decapitation.
•They are naturally pale and when malnourished appear sickly
•Though they can eat regular food, vampires are sustained by blood alone
•Senses as a vampire are heightened
•Children of Vampires do not become vampires; they must be bitten
•When a human is bitten, the Vampire’s venom enters their bloodstream and the transformation begins immediately. This process would be agonizing and takes about five to ten minutes.
THEY DO NOT
•Fly
•Have special powers
•Read or control minds
•Sparkle
Special requirements: Unless indicated on the Canon list, no other students may be vampires.
Available: 0/15
veela[/i][/size][/font]
[/size]Full Veela throw handfuls of fire when angry. Their faces change to a birdlike appearance, and they sprout scaly wings. These changes disappear when the veela calms down. Veela have a natural affinity for nature and draw men to them easily.
•Veela in “human” form are very beautiful.
•Part Veela do not change when they are angry.
Special requirements: This ability is hereditary, not made. Any veela less than half are not considered on the ability list.
Available: 0/10
werewolves[/i][/size][/font]
[/size][/justify]Werewolves are created by being bitten by another werewolf (they must be fully transformed for the full changes to occur). Once a person is bitten they will change into a wolf at the full moon. If a werewolf does not take the wolfsbane potion they lose all human awareness taking on the characteristics of wolf. Wolfsbane potion can be used to keep the human part of the person intact during the full moon. Someone who takes the wolfsbane potion on a regular basis can delay their transformation until they are exposed to moonlight (though this varies from werewolf to werewolf). Werewolves can be easily distinguished from regular wolves by several small distinguishing characteristics, such as the pupils of the eyes, the snout shape, and the tufted tail.
•Werewolves are heavily regulated by the Minsitry of Magic.
•Children of werewolves do not transform into werewolves. They may or may not show some werewolf habits (Stiffness around the full moon, aggressive behavior, increased irritability, fatigue)
•There is no cure for lycanthropy
•Werewolves are not affected by silver, contrary to what muggles believe
Special requirements: Unless listed in the Canon list, no other students may be werewolves (unless bitten - stated in their history, at least two detailed paragraphs).
Available: 1/10
