THE SPECIES LIST
Please refer to this sheet when thinking about creating a character with a special ability. This should answer any questions that you have, however if it doesn’t please contact a member of staff with any questions you may have.
Right the only way you can now have a character that is an original with abilities such as Werewolf, Vampire or an occlumens etc is to buy them from the rewards list. This may seem harsh, but we have had an influx of characters with special abilities and we are cracking down! Claiming from the rewards list is also helpful if you wish to create a character that is currently banned as well, so you may bypass the ban if you use your points.
Okay so below is a list of information to do with various skills and creatures that you may be considering for your character.
VAMPIRES[/i][/b][/color][/font]
Vampires are classed by the ministry of magic as beings, this means that they are not classed as wizards therefore do not have the same rights. Vampires are not allowed wands, however may acquire one illegally. Vampires cannot function well in a wizarding society often struggling for jobs, many will try to hide that they are vampires however this proves to be very difficult, due to their waxy appearance, sharp teeth, fear of direct sunlight and strong aversion to garlic.
A vampire will only be able to do magic if in their previous life they were a wizard, they will then carry this ability on into their afterlife however their magic isn’t as strong as once was and they can only cast simple spells, many vampires are able to use wandless magic.
Vampires are not allowed to attend Hogwarts.
VEELA[/i][/b][/color][/font]
A full Veela has the ability to turn into a harpie when angered; they can charm males and are very beautiful. Veelas have blonde hair and blue eyes, their hair can be used for the core of wands.
Full Veela’s are extremely rare, they cannot cast magic like wizards.
Half Veelas usually inherit their magical abilities from wizarding fathers, and mother’s veela ability. The Veela ability usually lasts a few generations before fading out.
Half Veela's may attend Hogwarts.
WEREWOLF[/i][/b][/color][/font]
Werewolves are not uncommon in the wizarding world, due to the rise of dark magic many dark wizards are trying to tame werewolves for their own dark uses. They appear as normal wizards however around the time of the full moon will become very ill and sickly as the time for their change nears.
When a werewolf transforms they lose all human thoughts and become a deadly beast, however if the wizard has taken wolfsbane the potion will allow them to keep their human brain and will be less dangerous. A human can only be infected by a werewolf if bitten by a wolf in its wolf form, once bitten that person is infected and will transform into a wolf on the full moon.
Young werewolf wizards are allowed to attend Hogwarts, however they must agree to the rules put in place to protect the other students, if any werewolf is caught threatening a student with their curse they will be expelled immediately. No tolerance is given.
GIANTS[/i][/b][/color][/font]
A fully grown giant can reach approximately 20 feet, and appear to be very large humans. Giants are not very intelligent but have their own language, social and cultural rules. A giant tribe is always lead by the strongest giant.
Giants are currently being used by the dark lord as a weapon against the wizarding world. Giants cannot cast magic however it has been known for half giants to inherit magical abilities from a wizard parents. Half giants are alot smaller than full giants, but are always alot bigger than the average wizard.
Half giants may attend Hogwarts if they have inherited magical abilitys from a wizard parent.
