Bloodline Rules, Guidelines, and Accepted

[Centara Zealon]

Hogwarts Galaxia is a place full of wizards and witches who enjoy their lives to the fullest but there are always those few of us who have certain... flaws. Some might say these affect the way we view and live in the world we know today. Some of us take advantage of these gifts we have been given while others curse themselves for allowing it to happen.

If you happen to be one of us persons with something that helps you tick each day, please read the rules and guidelines posted in this thread. This will help you to determine your character and how they will fit into this site. Once you have done so, please reply to this thread with the following form:

[b]Character Name:[/b]
[b]Bloodtrait:[/b]
[b]Registered with the Ministry?[/b]
[b]History behind their bloodtrait:[/b]

Please note, this is a request. You may not demand you get added to the list. That's the quickest way to be denied. We will also deny people if we feel that their character has not been properly thought up. Please do not tell us that they are 250 years old and the ultimate power. We will not accept that as a history. We want to see character development behind those we accept, showing that you have thought this through.

Rules

• Not every single character can be ancient. Some may be, yes, but if we start getting to the point where every creature created is hundreds of years old and immune to essentially everything, we will have a problem.
  
• No one is invicible. Yes, your character may think they are, but be aware that if you get into a fight, do not allow your creature to avoid all attacks. They will get hit at least once unless they are against an opponent that has agreed they will not manage to hit your character.
  
• Abide by the posted guidelines below according to your respective creature. If no guidelines are posted with respect to your character, inform an admin and we will create rules specific to your creature type.
  
• These are not meant to limit your creativity, but only to create standards so most everyone is on the same page. If we have one werewolf that transforms like twilight and one that transforms like Van Helsing, we will begin to confuse people. It is best that we have standards for the basics.
  
• Feel free to PM me if you feel like a topic has not been covered in either the rules or guidelines. I love to get feedback!
  
• Do not be afraid to ask questions or ask for feedback about your character. We're here for you and to help make your experience at HG the best it could possibly be.
  
• The Ministry requires all bloodlines to be registered. You may choose if your character is or is not registered with the Ministry but if they are discovered by a Ministry Official, please be sure to inform us of the change in your registration status.
  

*We ask that all creatures abide by these rules. If you feel like someone is acting outside of these rules, report them to the administrators or moderators, even if you feel as though one of them is an administrator. We take our rules seriously, even when it comes to ourselves. Sometimes even admins need to be put back in place!

Vampires

Permanent Eye Color


Effects of Starvation

Note
Vampires do have the ability to sire humans, however please get the permission of the character first. A vampire can bite a human without turning them. Once they drain a significant amount of their blood, however, the human will either die or the vampire will have to sire them. In order for a human to be sired, a vampire must first drain the human of most of the blood in their body and then that human must drink the blood of the vampire. This creates a bond between the two that lasts until the next blood moon cycle. If the vampire is killed, so is their offspring.

Abilities

Improved Strength and Speed
Vampires have strength and speed that are far beyond those of a human. They are graceful creatures and their powers grow with age.

Improved Senses
Hearing is improved the instant a vampire is sired, actually causing difficulties for new vampires who have to focus to block out the noise. Their sight improves immensely, making it unnecessary for glasses/contacts. They are able to see farther than humans, even at the moment of siring. As with other abilities, these grow stronger as they age, however the growth is not as noticeable as other abilities.

Heightened Endurance and Resistance
Endurance and resistance of a vampire is not as remarkable at first sire, but after years of growth, a vampire can withstand a beating with little trouble. Wounds do not heal miraculously, but they do heal faster than that of a human. Some wounds heal quicker than others. Werewolf wounds heal at the rate they would with a human. Their endurance and resistance improves slightly with age, but werewolf wounds are still a common problem no matter the age.

Blood Memories
When a vampire drinks the fresh blood of another creature, they can essentially suck the memories from that person. The amount of memories they receive is dependent both on how many the vampire wants to see, if any, and how much blood they intake. A vampire can retrieve a persons life story if they drink the body clean while the blood is still fresh, or only a moment in time with the smallest of bites.

Compulsion
Most vampires have the ability to compel a human to do whatever they ask. It takes experience to get the tool under control so new vampires have difficulty controlling the ability. Truly experienced vampires have the ability to control both humans and younger vampires.

Seduction
Vampires have a natural tendency to seduce a human. The effects can last for long past the interaction or end the moment the vampire leaves the human. It depends on how strongly the vampire was attempting to seduce the human.

Lack of Exhaustion
Sleep does not exist to a vampire. They may rest during the day when they are at a younger age, but as they grow older, they become less apt to resting. Their system builds up against that human characteristic. The only way to cause exhaustion within a vampire is a lack of blood in the system which will cause them to enter into starvation mode.

Avada Kedavra
Vampires cannot be killed by this spell because they are already dead. However it does still have effects. On new vampires, the spell will knock them out and when they wake up, cause a severe amount of pain. Aged vampires can stay awake and can handle the pain, but they will still feel it. Only the most aged vampires (hundreds of years) can withstand the killing curse without flinching.

Weaknesses

Werewolves
The bite of a werewolf can kill any vampire unless they take immediate action to heal the infected area (usually this is done by cutting off the infected area, however some remedies have been rumored to exist. None have been tested for effectiveness). Normally, the bite is to the neck, making it impossible to escape their fate. The death can be fast or slow, depending on how deep the wound is. Werewolf claws cannot kill a vampire, but they can leave scars. Werewolves are the only creatures who can scar a vampire. This does not change with the age of the vampire and even if a vampire removes the skin with the scar tissue, it heals back with the scar in tact.

Decapitation
Decapitation is one of the few effective ways to kill any vampire, even the most seasoned. No vampire can withstand their head being cut off.

Lineage
If you kill one vampire, you kill every vampire they have sired since the last blood moon. Once the blood moon appears, vampires are no longer attached to the person who sired them.

Sunlight
Most vampires will be burned if they enter into the direct rays of the sun. The effect can be immediate for a newer vampire or a slow process for a seasoned vampire. Potions have been created to counteract these effects. Some temporary, some permanent. However, no official remedy has been issued by the Ministry to counteract these effects. Only a few vampires recorded in history have been able to walk in the sun without a potion (most reportedly over a thousand years old).

Holy Water and Crosses
Holy water and contact with a cross can burn a vampire, but they heal quickly from these wounds. As they become more seasoned, the effects are less and less however no vampire is immune to the effects.

Invitation
No vampire can enter into an abode unless they have been invited inside. This goes for all vampires, no matter their age. Businesses do not count. This invitation cannot be revoked but there are methods to keep vampires from entering into the home again.

Werewolves/Lycans

Permanent Eye Color


Transformation

PLEASE READ:
We have two current methods of becoming a Werewolf, you can be born a werewolf, and have suffered with the tendencies you're whole life. It is a recessive gene so if your grandparents had it but not your parents, chances you will. The gene kicks in the same time as puberty, the first full phase will happen on the first cycle of the full moon once puberty has started. For most people, this happens around age 13. You may also be turned by a werewolf, their bite is infectious. The scratch can be infectious if not treated by the proper potion within 24 hours. No matter how you are cursed, the process will remain the same. For the first four seasons (winter/fall/spring/summer) after being bitten, the transformation is unavoidable. You will turn on the night of the full moon, and will not return to your human form until the moon has waxed. It is a very painful and life altering process, or most werewolves the period of the first transformation will help them decide weather or not they will see it as a gift or a curse. Some are more equipped to handle it than others. After your first four seasons the ability to transform on command will have been mastered. While the full moon will cause the most pull to transform, the urge can be suppressed if needed. For those who do not wish to transform, there is a potion that can be brewed to suppress the transformation but it is not easy to come by and very difficult to make. The transformation is usually a painful process as bones have to rearrange and skin is recreated. The longer that you live with the curse the easier the transformation is, for example; a 16 year old werewolf will be able to phase on command, but it is a slow process and very painful. They must stay in their wolf form for longer periods of time and once human, will take longer to recover. A thirty year old werewolf will be able to phase fairly quickly and without much pain and revert to human form with not much down time. While in wolf form, you will be able to communicate with certain other wolves in their animal form. Those that you have blood ties with (Family, or those that you have created) provided that they are within range and those in your pack. Most werewolves choose to travel alone due to the hostile nature and how rare werewolves are. It is not a condition that is accepted in society. Packs are very rare.

Abilities

These are while in wolf form only.

Shifting
All werewolves can shift into their beast form. In general, this is a very painful process where tissue and flesh is torn asunder, bones cracked and re-melded, and muscles reshaped. (Think Underworld) Also, if injected with a serum composed of rye and mistletoe, they will be forced back to their human form, in a comatose state.

Improved Strength
All werewolves upon their first change are gifted with increased and enhanced physical strength. The average werewolf can lift a car over their heads or punch right through a wall clear to the other side.

Health
While they are mortal, a bullet will sting rather than stop them in their tracks. With enough momentum the force of a car impacting would do more damage to the car. Swords/Knives and the average charm will not stop a werewolf. While in wolf form, they can regenerate themselves with the exception of silver and vampire teeth. While in human form they still heal quicker than other humans do, but not nearly as quickly as they do while in their form.

Speed/Senses
As can be expected, they are much faster than humans and slightly faster than vampires (They do run on more legs after all) They are blessed with agility and grace. They can smell and hear much more clear than a regular dog. They can pick up on human hormones, such as the ones associated with fear/lust/etc. While they cannot always name the emotion associated with it they will be able to smell a human/vampire and head that way/run away.

Weaknesses

Direct Moonlight
While in human form, if they are out into the moonlight it will be near impossible for them not to phase unless they have been training for a long time or taken a potion to nullify it's effects.

Silver
Pretty self explanatory, while they can still wear silver jewelry and such, if silver penetrates their skin it's just like poison. If liquid silver is in bullet form and shot into a vital organ, they will die just like any thing else. A silver wound will heal at normal human rate, if at all.

Vampire bites
If bitten by a vampire, and the venom gets into the blood, depending on the amount in their bloodstream can have effects ranging from a comatose state until it the blood can be cleansed, to instant death.

METAMORPHAGI

ABOUT
A metamorphagus is a person who has the ability to change their physical appearance at will WITHOUT the aid of a spell or Polyjuice Potion. They do not chose their ability. They are born, not made. However, some Metamorphagi genes are dormant. This means that despite perhaps having a mother or father with the ability, the offspring may not. This could also mean that they receive the trait from an older generation of family members (cousin, mother’s grandmother, uncle, etc). An individual will know if they have been born a metamorphagus at an early age with physical signs. Training can be to those provided to those growing up with the trait, but more often than not Metamorphagi learn by trial and error.

Please be aware that Metamorphagi are NOT Animagi. The main difference between the two is that Animagi can only change into one animal form that an individual’s genes predetermine.


Abilities

Physical Appearance
Metamorphagi are able to disguise themselves in a variety of form which include: race, gender and age. They can also change a select part of their appearance (hair and eye color, size of extremities, definition, etc).

Identity Replication
A metamorphagus can duplicate the exact appearance (not including clothing) of someone as they last saw them.

Employment
The Ministry of Magic and Dark side have used spies against one another since the beginning. Metamorphagi are always guaranteed employment with one side given their ability to change at will.

Weaknesses

Emotions
The way a witch or wizard feels affects their abilities. Strong emotions like depression or anger can affect whether or not a metamorphagus is able to change at all. A person’s appearance will be changed almost automatically to reflect the current mood.

Voice

[/i]
A metamorphagus can duplicate appearance of another but not their voice. The only way they can get themselves to sound as close as they can is by practice and techniques used to deeper or lighten a tone. For example, to make a tone huskier a person may be able to smoke a few cigarettes one after another. Or they can listen to a recording of the target’s voice repeatedly.

Injury
Metamorphagi are in no way, shape or form unable to avoid serious injury. Unlike vampires and werewolves, they cannot heal instantaneously after sustaining a wound. They are treated the same way normal witches and wizards are.[/left]
