Username: TuroKai Character name: Samantha Grant Character's age and year: 14, 3rd year Character's house: Slytherin Special ability: Parselmouth Character's special ability background: Inherited from father Any additional features/variances of the special ability: Nope. Bog standard talks to snakes

Username: Character name: Keet Arlie Character's age and year:16, year 6 Character's house: Ravenclaw (transfer from Ilvermorny) Special ability: Animagus Character's special ability background: Shy, awkward, and quiet, Keet did not give herself much of a chance to make many friends at her former school. Therefore, her owl and pet fwooper were some of her best confidants. Painstakingly, she trained herself to become an animagus, hoping that, even if she didn't take the form of a bird, she would be able to understand her feathered friends better. She was overjoyed when her efforts eventually paid off, and she took the form of a green imperial pigeon.
Any additional features/variances of the special ability: Keet takes the form of a green imperial pigeon with blue eyes, and small iridescent white diamond shaped speckles on her wings and back.

I hope this is okay, I was new here last term and hadn't had a chance to write up a profile yet. :)

Username: Character name: Zay Sezor Character's age and year: 12; Going into her Second Year - this year Character's house: Ravenclaw Special ability: Animagus (Brindle Akita-Inu) Character's special ability background: Before attending Hogwarts Zay used to spend a lot of time with the family dog partially because she's shy. She so wished she could communicate and see the world through their eyes. She brought this up to her father one day and he helped train her in the Animagus ability. She was thrilled to bits the first time she transformed and as time has gone on it's gotten easier and easier. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: None

Hope this is alright! ^-^

high fives Half-giants for the win! I only put the "variances" because she doesn't show some of the normal traits xD

That sounds great! Just wanted to be sure she could make the attempts at legilimency. I sure hope she can manage it later in life lol Thank you!

Username: just2b Character name: Amanda Character's age and year: 12, first/2nd year Character's house: Ravenclaw Special ability: Nonverbal spell caster; (animagus (see ping below)) Character's special ability background: (how they obtained the special ability - keep it short and sweet) Her shy personality and quiet demeanor impede her spell casting - only on the verbal aspect, mentally, she's as sharp as a tack and casts the spell without speaking. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: Being an introvert and uber shy in new situations, Amanda wouldn't speak much outside any place she deemed a comfortable place or around strangers (i.e. classroom). She learned every spell with an insatiable curiosity and could practice them either at home or in the dorms/common room, it was just when asked in class that she'd freeze before waving her wand and the spell would be cast without anything being said.

I know I want my character to be an animagus, but I'm not sure what animal she will become, so is ok if I give it some work before claiming to be an animagus?

Username: Nik Character Name: Thranduil Morgan Character's age and year: 16, 6th year Character's House: Slytherin (transfer from Beauxbatons) Special ability: Half-Veela Character's special ability background: Mom is a veela, Dad is a wizard Any additional features/variances of the special ability: I wanted his natural attraction to affect anyone who would be attracted to him, not just the opposite sex. We live in a progressive society that accepts that some boys like boys and some girls don't like boys, so I don't feel that people HAVE to feel a certain way about him if it's against their nature.

Username: Moonfox Character name: Kyros Riven Character's age and year: 13 (May 21st), 3rd year (homeschooled first year, joined last term) Character's house: Slytherin Special ability: Empath Character's special ability background: Inherited, as an occasional family trait. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: My idea is that he was trained at home to attune his ability, so he would be able to sort out a specific person's feelings (pending on his focus, number of people around, and all of that). But because he was mostly limited to interacting with his family members, he would struggle greatly with blocking out other people, and would be prone to be overwhelmed by strong emotions or several emotions at once.

Username:Tardis Character name: Amelia (Millie) Tudor Character's age and year: 14 and Fourth year Character's house: Hufflepuff Special ability: Empath Character's special ability background: (how they obtained the special ability - keep it short and sweet) Millie was born with the ability but didn't know she possessed it until she met a seer while on holiday. Her happy and sweet personality often makes others feel comfortable around her and she is able to read other's emotions, especially when they are anxious. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: None (if you are applying for a special ability not on the list, please list what features your special ability will have)

Username: ZoeNox Character name: Vivian Ashworth Character's age and year: 16, 5th year Character's house: Slytherin Special ability: Metamorphmagus Character's special ability background: She was born with it, but it stayed predominately latent until she was 10.

I see, I guess I can bump up her age to being a 4th year? Would that work?

Username: Rox Character name: Roxaina Oatwood Character's age and year: 16, year 6 Character's house: Gryffindor Special ability: Animagus Character's special ability background:: Roxaina has always been a huge fan of cats. For as long as she can remember they have been her favorite animals. When she was younger she used to take the street cats to care for them. Her parents never really understood. At some point it was as if the cats could tell me what they wanted from me, could lead me to find the best solution for their problems. Of course they didn't really talk to me, I just understood them perfectly. When she learned of the ability to transform into an animal she trained as hard as she could to change. She was hoping that, even if she ended up in another form than a cat, it would help her look out for them better. After lots of practice and training she finally changed and she was overjoyed when she turned into a beautiful black cat. It was that moment that her parents finally understood her as well I can say. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: Roxaina takes the form of a black cat. In her human form she has scars on one side of her neck, which you can hardly see. The black cat has some small markings at the exact same position.

Username: Poppy Character name: Niki Character's age and year: 13 second year Character's house: Ravenclaw Special ability: metamorphmagus Character's special ability background: Niki was born with it, but she's not really a natural at it. She only knew she could change her hair and eye color until recently when she met another meta that told her that she could do more with it. She'll be exploring more with what she can do with it, under training, as time goes on. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: None that she knows of at this time.

Can I still say my character will eventually learn to be an animagus in her roster info? She's still not old enough so I wasn't planning to have her be an actual one yet.

Also a side question, how "long" is a term for RP's sake? Is one term treated as a year at the school or is it literally just a term? I'm trying to figure out what year my character is even in but I'm not sure, lol.

Username: Jem Character name: Jem Character's age and year: 18, Year 7 Character's house: Gryffindor Special ability: Animagus - Panther Character's special ability background: Rulebreaker. Quick study. Nothing new.

- I'm assuming that our character's age doesn't have to be connected to when we first joined Wizarding?

Username: Zeus Character name: Callum Pine Character's age and year: 13, second year Character's house: Slytherin Special ability:Parselmouth Character's special ability background: One day attending normal school Callum came across the pet snake in science class and began to speak to it in parseltongue unaware. Frighting the teacher and students, Callum's parents removed him from school and sent him off to Hogwart's knowing where his true destiny lie. Any additional features/variances of the special ability: Since Callum is young he does not understand the extent of his power or what it means yet.

Hope this is okay :)
