SPECIES & SPECIAL ABILITIES
Given the plot here at Red Flag, many species will not have a restriction on them as far as the amount of characters that can be played. However we do request that you keep ratios in mind... meaning if there are 14 werewolves and 1 vampire, please consider making a vampire over a werewolf.
WEREWOLVES
Lycanthrope is, in some ways, the cancer of the wizarding world. Once you have been bitten there is no cure and you are forced to turn into a wolf five times a month (2 days before the full moon, the full moon, and 2 nights after the full moon). Werewolves do not resemble a monstrous half man, half wolf; but they appear to be closer to a wolf with a shorter snout. When transformed it is VERY difficult to control the wolf, one often needing to share the wolf's personality when they aren't transformed in order to do so, and many require the help of wolfsbane potion although they will retain the memories of what happened during the night. They are very social creatures and often prefer to live in packs.
Scratches and bites from a werewolf will never fully heal and will leave a mark upon the human body whether it was made whilst the werewolf was transformed or not. Children of werewolves sometimes report feeling some traces of Lycanthrope (such as insomnia during the full moon, or cravings for raw meat) but will not transform until they are bitten. Werewolves in their human forms have slightly enhanced sense of hearing and smell. Werewolves can be turned into vampires but only from their human form.
NO RESTRICTIONS
VAMPIRES
Vampires are unable to have children, regardless of gender, as they're bodies are essentially frozen in time. To make a human a vampire, the human (or werewolf in their human form) must drink some of the vampire's blood and die within an hour of ingesting the bodily fluid. For this reason, most vampires have become so of their own free will, however there are still cases of those whom had been turned against there will. There is no guarentee however that those who ingest the blood and then are killed will rise again, as the virus attempts to weed out the week. No victims will become vampires after 72 hours of being dead.
Vampires are unable to die due to disease, and the only way you can truly kill them would be to decapitate them or set them on fire. The skin of a vampire will be cold to the touch although you won't be able to tell them apart from a human just by sight. Vampires can feed on both human and animal blood with there being no difference in their appearance.
NO RESTRICTIONS
VEELA
Veela appear to be young, beautiful women who have very little problems attracting men and women; often causing those who chase after them to do crazy stunts in order to catch their attention. The temper of a full blooded Veela however is much unlike that of any other race's. When a full blooded Veela gets angry they turn into a creature that represents a Harpie that can shoot fireballs from their hands. Due to their short tempers Hogwarts will only teach half-Veelas or less.
Half-veelas are unable to transform into the harpy state although they do hold an attractive allure to those who seek them. Full blooded veelas are only female, although half-veelas can be both male or female.
NO RESTRICTIONS
GIANTS
Giants aren't the brightest of species, but they are the tallest coming in at somewhere between 20 to 25 feet. They have their own language, culture and society but also love magic so long as it isn't being used to harm them. It isn't surprising then that there are quite a few Half-Giants. Half-Giants, unlike full blooded giants are capable of producing magic. Half-giants are taller and stronger than human beings, with some inheriting their giant parents' poor eyesight and requiring glasses to see.
HALF-GIANTS OR LESS ONLY
NO RESTRICTIONS
METAMORPHMAGI
Metamorphmagi are witches and wizards who can change their apperance at will without using a polyjuice potion. They can change their gender, eyes , and pretty much any other part of their apperance meaning they could pretty much take on the appearance of any person they so wish. Strong emotions such as anger, greif, and love can affect their abilities. Metamphmagi are born and although the majority of Metamorphagi have a metamorphmagus parent, there is the odd occasion where no other family member has the trait.
3/10
SEERS
Seers are witches and wizards in the art of Divination. They are able to see the future and produce prophecies for the Ministry of Magic. They are extremely rare, and does not need a relative with the ability in order to inherit it. They are more likely to be halfblooded or pureblooded than muggleborn.
4/4
PARSELMOUTHS
Parselmouths have the uncanny ability to be able to converse with snakes. It is predominantly a hereditary ability that is associated with the dark arts. It is an ability that is believed to have been passed down through Salazar Slytherin's descendants and as such it is extremely unlikely that a Muggleborn will possess this ability. Becoming a werewolf or a vampire will not affect a parselmouth's ability to speak to snakes.
2/4
ANIMAGI
An animagus is a witch or wizard who can morph at will into an animal. The ministry requires all animagi to register with them as an attempt to make the community feel safer about the possibility of the ability being used to commit crimes in both the muggle and magical worlds, although there are some who have managed to remain off the register. Learning to become an Animagus is both dangerous and a long process. For information on the process of becoming an animagus you can read about it here. When you become an animagus, you do not choose your animal, in fact it is strongly linked to your personality which means that more often than not it will be the same as your patronus.

OCCLUMENS
Occlumency is when a witch or wizard is able to block their mind from being read by a legilimens. It is an advanced skill that few care to learn due to the rarity that legilimency is used. It is extremely rare for a legilimens to know occlumency and vice versa.
1/10
LEGILIMENS
Legilimency is the skill of being able to read and influence the minds of their victims. A legilimen is able to do this with any person or being that does not know Occlumency, however just like it's sister skill it is a very difficult art to master. It is extremely rare for a legilimens to know occlumency and vice versa.
