CUSTOM ABILTIES CLAIM [REQUIRED IF EARNED]

customabilities

As part of Alohomora's second anniversary, players were given the opportunity to 'unlock' custom abilities for one individual character. Now-a-days you can earn a custom ability by reaching your first year anniversary, or by purchasing it from the IC shop. So everyone is on the same page, here are the guidelines for custom abilities: Staff will message you when you have a custom ability with the approval process. The pm will include these guidelines and a template to use. Custom abilities require oneshots, just like special abilities. Basically just introduce yourself using the ability! They can be applied to a current character or a new character. You don't have to redeem these abilities immediately. You can wait as long as you'd like before contacting the staff about claiming it. If proposed ideas are too powerful, we will work with you to water them down, or come up with an alternative that works. These are primarily unique abilities (so only one of each), but there may be cases are duplicates are acceptable. Message staff if you'd like to have an ability that is already in use and we will let you know. Some custom abilities won't work on those trained in occlumency (the ability of mentally guarding yourself and keeping people out of your head/learning things about you.) unless the occlumens intentionally lowers their guard to let it work. As such, abilities state if occlumens are immune.

CHARACTER CUSTOM ABILITIES ASTRID ALVA ABRAHAMSSON - CRYOMANCER Astrid has the ability to manipulate snow and ice using her hands. There is a unique well of magic within her that she taps into when using this power, which is focused through her hands. When the well of power is depleted, exhaustion overtakes her and she will need a restorative sleep and meal. The manipulation is not all powerful - she cannot freeze people or use it too much without depleting the well. Music helps Astrid control this ability and not let it get out of hand, so she will often be found humming while using it. Signs that show Astrid tapping into the power include a faint blue light emanating from her hands and wisps of glowing, bluish steam around snowy/icy bits that she had manipulated. Astrid discovered the power when she was nearly six years old, first displaying itself when her normal magic started to appear. She is capable of producing balls of snow (which she often likes to make into playful snowmen) and icicles, especially when she is angry. The power is tied to her emotions, so in order to conceal her powers, Astrid has managed to internalise and lock away strong feelings, only letting them go when she is certain she can control them. Hazel Rosalie Burke - MISDIRECTION Hazel has the ability to redirect magic, within certain parameters – essentially taking control of the magic and redirecting where it goes without changing the nature of the spell itself. She can only influence single target spells and charms, rather than those intended for multiple targets. The simpler a spell is, the more easily she can redirect it. The more complicated the spell, the harder it becomes, until she reaches a point where the magic won’t obey her at all. Jameson Hera Blishwick - LOVE WEAVER (INHERITED) -doesn't work on occlumens- It's basically the same as her father’s except she can actually see the potential connections. She sees a string-like connection that connects potential matches. She can also see strong/deep platonic and familiar relationships. The more noticeable the thread, the deeper the relationship. It ranges from misty grey to pitch black. Like her father she is highly susceptible to vampire/veela allure. She can’t see connections/matches for part humans (vampire/veela/giant/goblin). She also can’t see threads connected to her relatives or herself. jimbo brian blishwick vi - LOVE WEAVER -doesn't work on occlumens- He has a sixth sense that permits him to sense the ideals of a perfect partner. Jimbo can accurately match them with another person that is deemed to fit. He is basically a one man dating site, where all accounts of people he has listened to are put together and stored, allowing him to pick and choose the perfect partner, for you! While his success rate is extremely high, there are some faults. When put on the spot, he has trouble bringing up a potential partner. Deep, meditative thinking is necessary for a proper decision to be made. Written letters can also take a month or two to process, since he has to understand the feelings that the customer is portraying to him. That's difficult on paper, and thus takes longer. His ability is also completely useless on Christmas, New Year's Eve, during the entire month of February (funny right?), and with influencing magic such as love potions or the Imperius Curse. Demi-humans also give him extreme trouble, and veela and vampire allurement charms slow down his entire process. He is also highly susceptible to their woos. nova hypatia vector - CHARMED COOKING -doesn't work on occlumens- Nova is able to accurately measure, cook, and create food through charms that not only tastes better than any normal food-related charm can do, but also induces an almost therapeutic calming effect. Essentially the potency of her charms are stronger when used for cooking/baking than they would for the average person. This is an inherited ability from her grandfather's side of the family and occasionally gets passed along. Ophelia Mae Teller - EMPATHIC TOUCH -doesn't work on occlumens- Ophelia, when concentrating can take away the mental and emotional pains a person is feeling, giving them peace of mind. She is able to see the briefest of flashes of how they're feeling when she is taking away the emotions, and has to lie down after with a migraine. The migraines' length and depth will depend on how bad the other persons emotions were at the time she helped them penelope raisa bainbridge - ABILITY DETECTION -doesn't work on occlumens- Penelope, when in close proximity to others, has the intuitive sense of whether or not another person has a magical ability outside of the established norms of the wizarding world (i.e. whether or not a person has a custom special ability, rather than something like Legilimency or Occlumency). She cannot, however, tell the nature of the ability or its limitations; she can only tell that a person possesses one, unless that ability has been otherwise shown or explained to her. The more people are around or the greater the physical distance between her and another person, the less likely Penelope is to be able to use her ability. rhys alexander greyback - Echo Rhys has the ability to take an object and see some moment in the past relating to that object. For example a photograph could show Rhys when that photograph was taken. He doesn't see a full image but somethin of an echo. So an image that may be mostly sound or mostly visual or strong with one of his other senses, but never all of them. The stronger the emotional connection to the object then the stronger the echo but it will never match a Pensieve quality memory. Using this ability is incredibly draining physically and requires intent to trigger (so not triggered by like accidentally touching an object) so to be used sparingly. zenevieva mira novell - VAMPIRIC WALL WALKING Vampire skill she's inherited. Zenevieva has the ability to walk on walls and ceilings regardless of the surface and angle. This was something she once envied her mother for being able to do, but is now rather frightened how it developed within her. Unlike what story tales may assume, Zenevieva cannot channel through herself to allow others to walk on walls or ceilings alongside her. prudence oria weiss - mithridatism Over time, Rue's body has magically grown accustomed to the potions/drugs/other things they have put it through, essentially magically 'purifying' it. Rue's body is now magically resistant to anything the body might see as a toxin. This ranges from potions, drugs, alcohols and overall toxins. There are limitations to this ability however, as while the Weiss is immune to most potions/toxins, toxins with immense effects can still affect her, but produce weakened results. While this ability can be viewed as a benefit also, there is also a drawback. As while Rue is now magically resistant to anything the body may see as a toxin, this includes alcohol, Rue's own potions or Muggle drugs she would consume. Therefore, Rue is unable to get drunk nor high no matter how much effort she puts in, essentially forcing her to sobriety after a long..long time. Teresa Margarite Poole - Botanical Naturalist Terry was born with the ability to sense, communicate and aide in the growth of magical plant life. In essence, she has an extra-sensory awareness of what magical plants need to thrive and grow to the best of their ability - a 'plant battery'. If allowed, or exposed to Terry's magical core for an extended period of time, magical plants will seek Terry out and feed on her magical essence to better themselves with no malicious intent. It is not an ability Terry is able to turn off, or manipulate to her own gain. Unless, of course, you consider the ability to grow exceptional magical plants, which live and grow to an outstanding quality, a personal gain. Plants will naturally lean toward Terry as if she were a sun to them. Using this ability, Terry has grown to be able to essentially 'speak' with magical plants around her. Understanding their wants and desires to better their environment. Magical plants that have no prolonged bond or allegiance to Terry can feed on her magic to a point where she feels lethargic and weakened, though not to a fully detrimental effect. However, the magical plants Terry cares for and maintains in her immediate property have developed a sense of loyalty to her, and take only what she is happy to give to better them.

SPECIAL CUSTOM ABILITIES -These are members/characters that completed the 50k November challenge and earned a special custom ability, in which staff gave leeway to the above rules/restrictions. There may be future ways to earn one of these.- xiulan zhou - PROPHET -doesn't work on occlumens- Xiulan, unlike other Seers on the site, has an enhanced Inner Eye, such that she can also foresee true prophecies. The vast majority of the time, the prophecies are such that even Xiulan herself cannot decipher them, nor can she say with any certainty how far into the future such a prophecy might occur. If a player wishes to involve their character in a prophecy or to use a prophecy as a plot element, that prophecy still must be cleared with staff in advance.
