Approved Magical Abilities/Items

[Florence Sang]

Name: Florence Sang
Age: 15
Feature you want: Quarter Veela ancestry
Why you want it: Mostly, I would like to make Florence's life harder when the current political situation around magical creatures escalates. Additionally, this ancestry has affected her by shaping her aesthetic sensibilities and giving her a temperamental, passionate side.  
Information about Feature: Veelas are a species of creatures who resemble very beautiful women and are able to strongly affect anyone around them who is attracted to women. When angry, their faces transform to be frightening, beaked, and birdlike. They also possess their own form of wandless magic. Veelas originate from Bulgaria, but currently are found all over Europe, and they often marry and have children with wizards. As a quarter-Veela, Florence has none of these magical qualities besides good looks, but she grew up with a half-Veela mother and is familiar with Veela culture and characteristics. 
How does it fit in?: Magical creatures and humans with creature ancestry occupy a complicated place in the current wizarding world, and even though the only evidence of Florence's Veela ancestry is her good looks, she'll still be affected by any restrictions on part-creatures. Her mother, who is half-Veela and more overtly so, will be even more affected,

[Lia Allman]

Name:
Vadellia Rhia Allman
Age:
28
Feature you want:
Air Elementalist
Why you want it:
I'm bringing Vader over from the previous site and so much of her development and character was built around her ability. It was the whole reason she was accepted into the folds of the Death Eaters. She views it as the core part of who she is.
Information about Feature:
Vader can manipulate and will the patterns of the air currents around her with her hands and mind. Had her training not been cut so short by the former elemental council, she may have trained enough to simply will things to happen to the air...but she didn't receive that training...so she must also use her hands and body to achieve her results. This in itself leaves a massive weak spot in her defenses. If her opponent recognizes what she's doing and can fire off a shot before Vader is done executing her attack, its one hundred percent certain to either hit her, or force her to stop her attack.
How does it fit in?:
Most of Vader's perception of self is rooted in this gift and ability. It is her sole reason for existing (in her mind) and without it she wouldn't be much of anything. Elementalists are rare and that in itself is a source of pride for the woman. And Vader's entire personality is built around her sense of pride and perceived power.
Other:
I know "elementals" aren't listed in your list of special abilities, but bringing her over from the other server prompted me to shoot my shot and apply.

[Olivia Moretti]

Name: Olivia 'Liv' Moretti
Age: sixteen
6Feature you want: werewolf
Why you want it: I've honestly wanted to make a character that became a werewolf either during their school years or directly after graduating. I love the creature element in the setting/plot whatever we want to call it.
Information about Feature: A werewolf, or lycanthrope, is a human upon the complete rising of the full moon, becomes an uncontrollable, fearsome and deadly wolf. Lycanthropy is a magical illness spread by contact between saliva and blood. A mixture of silver and dittany will close a werewolf bite and allow the human bitten to live on as a werewolf. The change is unavoidable and very painful. Drinking Wolfsbane regularly will allow the werewolf to maintain their human consciousness during the transformation, allowing some semblance of control. Otherwise, the werewolf will transform and kill any human in its path. Without any humans nearby to attack, or other animals to occupy it, the werewolf would attack itself out of frustration.
How does it fit in?: Liv grew up in a household where blood purity was touted along with anti-creature sentiments. She doesn't care either way, as long as no one gets in her way. It would be an interesting twist for her to be bitten by a werewolf so she would have to struggle with her family's and her ideals. She’d also have to learn magic AND how to be a good werewolf on top of it, being a student. It would be a great opportunity for growth for the girl.
Other: The full moon was coming soon, Liv could tell without even checking her astronomy calendar. She had to apply more makeup than usual today to hide her dark circles and sickly pallor. She could feel her nerves tingling, as if preparing for the transformation that Liv would give anything to not have to live through. It was bad enough that she had this ugly scar or the way her parents looked at her, as if she was some disgusting animal, or the silence in the large London mansion she called home… No, if that wasn’t enough, she had to undergo the most excruciating and terrifying transformation into a beast each month. She was disgusted with herself. She should have known better than to delve into the Forbidden Forest for a little late night flying practice. Weaving through the trees on her firebolt, the moment of glee was destroyed when something leapt in the air and tackled her. Liv figured she had one thing to be grateful for, that the werewolf bit her once before fleeing… If it wasn’t for Hogwarts’ discretion, she’d be outcast and possibly expelled by now. Yet another thing to be grateful for. Liv let out a low sigh, walking out of the dungeon common room she calls home and headed to the Great Hall for breakfast. The full moon was coming soon, but not today.

[Emilia Montes Bishop]

Name: Emilia Montes
Age: 16
Feature you want: Quarter Veela 
Why you want it: All of my other characters are so far removed from the politic aspect of what's going on in the magical world at the moment. This would be my first try at having any sort of conflict because of my character's ancestry, even though she's not a full Veela. 
Information about Feature: Veelas are believed to have originated in Bulgaria. The are nymphlike creatures that resemble beautiful, young women. They described as fair skinned, seductive beings who have the ability to use their own form of wandless magic. Their looks are a powerful weapon to be used against mankind, their dance charms all male beings and casts a strange power over them.

Although they are often referenced as having Slavic origins, Veelas seem to exists in many European countries such as France.
How does it fit in?: Emilia loves to put on a show about how perfect and collected she is, but she's secretly worried about what might happen if anyone finds out about her family history. While her step father is aware of his wife's ancestry, he doesn't allow Mariana or Emilia to speak of it, least his family be looked down on because of it. She's grown to resent him and herself for trying to hide who she is. She's obviously not capable of wandless magic and the effect her looks have on her male counterparts is not as powerful as she would hope.

[Evelyn Brown]

Name: Evelyn Brown
Age: seventeen
Feature you want: Animagus
Why you want it: In my mind, Evie excels at all forms of transfiguration. I don't imagine she'd be content until she learned this difficult skill.
Information about Feature: Only very powerful and skilled wizards are able to become Animagi. The process of becoming an Animagus is long and arduous, and has the potential to backfire and cause the transformation to go horribly wrong. Once the initial training is over, an Animagus can change at will at any time, with or without a wand. Animagi can only take on the form of one specific animal. This animal form is not chosen by the wizard, but determined by their personality and inner traits. Thus, one's Animagus form is a reflection of one's inner nature. Each Animagus bears an identifying mark on their animal form that is caused by something on their human body. This may be a physical trait like dental structure, or an acquired trait such as glasses.
How does it fit in?: Evie is a gifted witch, specializing in Transfiguration. She's an intelligent and diligent study. Once learning of Animagi, she became determined to learn this skill and studied on them relentlessly. She is currently seeking the guidance of Professor Barlowe to learn this ability. Her form will be a nearly pure white dove with the exception of black tips on her wings to symbolize her guarded nature. picture here

[Danica Barlowe]

Name:
Danica Barlowe

Age:
Thirty One

Feature you want:
Animagus- Buzzard

Information about Feature:
The difference between the animagus and transfiguration is that one is an ability and one is an act requiring a spell. However, to obtain and master the animagus skill, one would endure a rather lengthy and particular process. Starting with placing a Mandrake leaf in one's mouth on the full moon and leaving it there until the next full moon. Many did not get past this part of the task, seeing as how removing the leaf, swallowing it, or in any other way removing it from one's mouth would mean having to start all over. The animagus form is very rarely chosen...but more so brought on by inherent traits within the witch or wizard. For Danica...it only made sense that her animagus would mirror her patronus as a buzzard. The buzzard is rather unapologetic and will often band together with like-minded comrades to help one another with their goals. Though they are not the prettiest of birds, they are respected and feared for always getting what they want. Dani's buzzard form bears a small white dot on the left of it's face. This is due to the animal form tending to take on a physical attribute from the witch or wizard's human form. For Dani...it represents her beauty mark.

How does it fit in?:
When Evelyn Brown entered Danica's office to discuss animagus and the process by which one becomes one...a small spark was ignited in Dani. She would never allow one of her pupils to walk through this alone and she would never hinder a pupil who wants to learn more. Seeing Evie's desire to learn and take the next steps in her journey prompted Dani to desire to go through the steps with her. Secretly, Danica also likes the idea of startling future first years by hiding in her buzzard form...the same way McGonagall used to startle her first years.

[Matteo Cappello]

Name: Matteo Cappello
Age: 16
Item you want: Invisibility cloak
Information about item: Invisibility cloaks are magical garments that are either woven with Demiguise hair, like Matty's, or cast with a disillusionment charm. Unlike THE invisibility cloak of the Deathly Hallows, enchanted cloaks eventually wore off. They are also vulnerable to spell damage.
How does it fit in?: Matty is always getting into trouble with his friend Jake, having a cloak would mean more adventures for them. Matty has also recently started hanging out with William more, and the invisibility cloak would really help their endeavors. He received the cloak as a gift from his mother on his sixteenth birthday, after a terrible accident happened to his friend's family.

Name:
Alexander Caius
Age:
17
Feature you want:
Vampire
Information about Feature:
Vampires are magical beings in a sense...but not entirely. Truthfully, there isn't much that is "magical" about them. They are among the walking dead and due to their "supernatural" status, exist in the magical world much more than they prefer to exist in the muggle worlds...Alex is learning with each day that his speed is unparalleled. He was fast as a mortal...he's even faster as an immortal. His thirst for blood burns like a white hot iron in the back of his throat and he's spending most of his time working with Charles to calm his bloodlust.
How does it fit in?:
Alex was attacked during his summer break. Due to extreme blood loss, he wasn't able to seek help or antidote before the change completely took him.
Other:
He's a friendly vampy...I promise.

[Willie Vanderhyde]

Name: Willie Vanderhyde
Age: 17
Feature you want: Werewolf
Information about Feature: A werewolf is a human who has contracted lycanthropy...an infection that causes the host to transform into a terrifyingly ravenous wolf each full moon. The transformation leaves the werewolf out of control and able to hurt anyone or anything unless they have properly dosed with wolfsbane. Werewolves are currently being classed and attacked with creatures such as vampires and veelas.
How does it fit in?: Willie was attacked during her second year while at one of her father's matches. Like children do, she ran off without her mother. Once her mom found her...the damage had already been done. Annie and Evan still adore their daughter...but demand she keeps her affliction a secret. They work closely with Charles De Luca, a prominent vampire, to search for a cure.

[Leo Williams]

Name:
Leopold Williams

Age:
Fifteen

Feature you want:
Legilimency

Information about Feature:
Legilimency is the act of magically navigating through the many layers of a person's mind and correctly interpreting one's findings. Some may refer to it as mind reading, however the term is deemed naïve by skilled legilimens. The act requires many years to perfect and requires sorting through the various aspects of it's target's mind. Many tout the practice as an invasion of privacy so many legilimens are frowned at by the majority of society.

How does it fit in?:
Leo has always had a gift and fascination with divination. He incorrectly pinned Legilimency as just another divination practice and after his break up with Olivia Moretti, he dove in with an intent to lean a new skill. However, once he began making progress and learning, he found that he could use such a gift to protect those he loves. Most recently, Leo used the go locate Jackson Davies' teacher and to broker a deal with her for Olivia's safety. She will be continuing to help him master the skill. He is still very much a beginner and has a way to go before he masters legilimency.

[Deleted]

Name: Jane Alison Rocks
Age: 11
Feature you want: Quarter-Vella
Information about Feature:
Jane was a product of an affair her father had with who he thought was a beautiful muggle woman. Her mother died shortly after she was born, so her father took her home and raised her alongside his son, with his wife. None of them were ever aware that her birth-mother was half-veela, and that Jane’s a quarter veela.
As a little girl in muggle school, boys often picked on her, and she was told that the boys who picked on her probably liked her. When she got older, she noticed that most boys were nicer to her than most girls. Once, she got ambushed by some older girls who complained that they thought she was prettier then them.

How does it fit in?: The reason that her father had the affair that created her, is because her birth mother seduced him with her veela charms. Also, she doesn’t know that she’s part-veela, which could be interesting.
Other: That’s it.
Have you read the rules AND the introduction?: Yes, and I hope it’s okay that I want to play a part-veela, even though I’m a new member.

[Genavieve Dane]

Name:Genavieve Dane
Age: 16
Feature you want: 1/4 Veela
Information about Feature: Beautiful beings with white-gold hair and bright skin, Veela could seduce humans with not only their looks, but their dance as well. This can cause men/people to act foolhardy around them to try and gain their attention. Veela have a type of magic that does not require a wand, and when they are angry can transform into something more like a harpy, with long scaly wings and fireballs from their hands. Their hair can be used for a wand core, however Ollivander chooses not to use them as they can be too temperamental.
How does it fit in?: Genna's mother was a half-veela - she didn't let her father know until after she was pregnant with Genna, and when she passed away, Nicholas wasn't sure what to do. Fortunately, Genna's grandmother was able to help, being a full-veela herself, and trained Gen on, mostly, how to control her temper - to find something to hold her center. When she was very ill, she sent a strand of hair for Gen to have made into her wand, which she still uses to this day. Genna cannot use the non-wand magic nor can she transform into a wolf or control the weather; she just possesses the natural charm and wild temper.

[Paisley Carson]

Name: Paisley Carson
Age: 17
Feature you want: Metamorphmagus
Information about Feature: A Metamorphmagus (pl. Metamorphmagi) was a witch or wizard with the rare magical ability to change their physical appearance through sheer will alone, without the need of Polyjuice Potion, or a spell, like most of the wizarding population.
How does it fit in?: Paisley was born with the feature. At a young age her hair started to change colours, which was a tell tale sign of a Metamorphmagus. Both her parents never showed any sign of the feature. Because this was so rare there was no real training available to the young witch and she had to learn herself through trial and error. It is a very emotionally triggered trait and so controlling her emotions was a large part of honing her skill. She has been using this skill to gather information on her mothers disappearance and for a little bit of fun at Hogwarts. She isn't shy about her gift and uses it frequently.
Other: The young witch would never use her abilities to cheat on any test or examination at Hogwarts. Only for her own personal agenda.

[Deleted]

Name: Phoebe Nikos
Age: 16 years old
Feature you want: Veela Heritage: half-veela (mother full veela)
Information about Feature:
Veela are a species of magical creature that may appear as incredibly beautiful women, with milk coloured skin and pale blonde hair. But beneath this beautiful exterior there is a bird-like creature, emerging in fierce anger. Veela have their own kind of magic, but do not attend schools like Wizards do. They are incredibly alluring and have been known to mate with wizards, producing half breed children who possess minimal to none of the full Veela powers. For Phoebe’s mother, a Veela capitalizing on her allure to make it big in the modelling industry, these powers are her livelihood. For the powers Phoebe would have inherited as half-Veela, she sees them as nothing but a hindrance. Her allure to men is stressful, she sees this aspect to her power as incredibly dangerous – as if walking alone at night as a 16-year-old girl wasn’t dangerous enough.
How does it fit in?:
Regarding the magical creatures rhetoric on the rise, and wizards choosing to subjugate creatures and those with creature ancestry to unfair treatment – Phoebe would have a difficult role in the current wizarding world. Since she will have traits of the Veela allure and the bird-like creature outbursts, she'll be affected by any restrictions on part-creatures as her traits are not easy to hide. Personally, having Veela traits will allow Phoebe to grow to understand her mother more, being able to relate to her in a unique way.
Other: None.
