Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Metamorphmagus
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):

Reducio

Astra Ingebrigtsen was born a Metamorphmagus. The Ingebrigtsen family knew that their family had this rare magical ability passed down to some of it's members, like Astra's great grand uncle Fredrik and her aunt Ida had it too. Astra manifested her talent very early in life without being able to control it, changing her hair or eyes colors when she had a huge change in emotions.
She was around 4 or 5 years old when she realized that changing nose shape, eyes color, or teeth length out of the blue because of a shock or similar things was not something deemed normal, and that other people were not doing it. At first Astra thought that she had some kind of sickness and cried because of it. Her mother Ingrid did not understand why Astra was crying and it took her around half an hour to understand that her daughter was just misunderstanding her very own ability. Ingrid tried her best to calm her daughter and explain to her that she was not sick, she just had a rare ability she could not control yet. To this day this story is told to people whenever the Ingebrigtsen family talked about Astra.
Even tho some people might envy her ability, She personally does not like nor really dislike it. Because as it is right now she can see it's disadvantage, viewing it as an annoyance, indeed in some photos she does not look like herself, and sometimes she does not even know how she looks like, one day someone mistook her and thought that she was not Astra which led her to almost getting excluded from a party she went to with her family, thankfully her sister Luna was here to explain the misunderstanding.
The rare time she think about her metamorphmagus ability she view it as a waste of her own potential and talent, as even if she managed to master it her disability would always expose to other who she really was.
As of right now the girl does not care much about her ability partly because she did not master it but mostly because she has her focus on astronomy.
On top of that she doesn't really like mentioning she has this ability, not that she dislike doing so or anything, but she always feel like telling about it is taking the easy road to socializing with others, making other people interested in her, she did not need it for that matter.
It could go months before some wizard or witch realize that she is in fact a metamorphmagus.
When they do learn about her ability and ask her why she never spoke of it she would usually just brush it up as a non important detail.
When she knew that she was going to hogwarts she thought that maybe she would be able to meet more people with her ability, and maybe make her view it in a completely different way, even if it was not really her priority so to speak.

APPLICATION

It starts, like most things problems in August's life, in Corsica. Well actually, to be more specific, it starts 500 years ago with Emmeline Botticelli, a girl who saw and spoke of delusions, a girl who saw things not meant to be seen. A girl that instead of marrying the woodworker down the coast or moving in with the witch in the woods, married a pureblooded man of the name of Andre Delahaye.

Nevertheless, the newlywed seer moved to England, and had three children there in a manor in Manchester, all of which inherited the seer gene. As time went on, the Delahaye's influence spread, their genes spread, while the strength of the seer bloodline faded with time.

And so, in 1896, an 18 year old Raphael Delahaye, a man who wanted to preserve his lineage, August's great great great grandfather returned to Corsica, a town that's seer population was virtually untouched by the changing of the times. He married a pureblooded noble named Theresa Garnier, a seer bred of seers bred of seers. And he stayed in Corsica until the end of his life. None of his children were seers, but yet his children stayed there and his grandchildren stayed there, until, like most problems, her grandmother, a seer, a girl named after the woman her bloodline started with was born, Emmeline Delahaye.

And Emmeline, darling Emmeline, was the Helen of their family. And it was only with her birth, that the Delahaye family found it necessary to return back to England. And the story went on, she went to Hogwarts, she had three kids, all of them were seers, and then came August.

Now, on the opposite side of things, the Stapeley family was not nearly so complicated. Virginia 'Ginny' Stapeley was a witch born and raised of purebloods, with only a seer grandmother in her bloodline. Of course, the problem laid, yet again, with Emmeline.

For in the summer after their shared last year attending Hogwarts, Ginny and Anton had a whirlwind relationship that resulted in August's birth a mere ten months later. Now, Emmeline cared little for Ginny's feelings, nor the fact that only two weeks ago, Emmeline herself had seen a vision of a smaller Delahaye running around, of rays of sun spread upon white locks, if only because if Anton knew, if he stayed with Ginny, his reputation and his family's would be ruined.

This whole exposition is all to say that it seems that Emmeline Delahaye seemed to have forgotten the key detail that the unborn child was a Delahaye through and through. She also seemed to forget that her own son was also a seer, and that there was a chance that her grandchild might also be one.

But nevertheless, August grew up in that little shop in Diagon Alley without her father, without the knowledge of her family history. And so, when August first has a film of white cover her eyes for a second and feels, rather than sees, flames licking up the side of a building in a brief glimpse, there is nothing left for her to do except hold her chin up, and act like the pieces of what she once knew aren't shifting around her.

| 8 | ACC
Describe why this fits your character: Thorn's parents were part of the dark arts, their enemies on both sides were many and dangerous. When Thorn was just three years old she was bitten, and her life changed forever. From that day forward, Thorn had the features of a werewolf- pointed ears, yellow eyes and sharp canine teeth. In the small town where she lived, rumours about Thorn quickly spread like wildfire. People feared her and avoided her like the plague. Some people thought she was a monster, but she wasn't. She was just a young girl who had been cursed with a rare condition that made her different from everyone else. It was difficult for Thorn to live with these features, especially since they set her apart from her peers. She could never fit in and had to constantly hide her differences or be ostracized. The worst part was that she couldn't control the change, it happened involuntarily and often when she least expected it. From then on, Thorn's life changed forever. She had no one else to turn to; her parents were too afraid to ask for help from anyone else who practiced the dark arts, as it could lead to more trouble. All she had was herself, and her newfound werewolf powers. She embraced her inner werewolf and used it to become stronger and more independent. She took control of her destiny and refused to let anyone dictate how she should live her life. Thorn's story may have seemed tragic at first, but in reality it was a tale of strength and courage. Her werewolf features no longer scared her; instead they empowered her and gave her the strength to live life on her own terms. Thorn's story is an inspiration to all who feel different or alone in this world - if you embrace your inner werewolf you can do anything.Though it was difficult for Thorn at first, she soon came to terms with being a werewolf and embraced it as part of her identity. The fear and judgement of strangers quickly faded into acceptance as people began to realize that she was no different from anyone else, she just had a few special features that made her unique. Nowadays, Thorn is comfortable in her own skin and is confident in who she is as a person - despite her werewolf features. Her parents are relieved that she has been able to embrace her new identity without any serious repercussions or danger. They couldn't be more proud of their daughter and the strength and courage. Years later, Thorn has embraced her werewolf side and has learned to control the transformation. She has realized that instead of shying away from her newfound abilities, she should use them to help others and protect those who needed it most. She now utilizes her extraordinary strength and speed for good, making sure that no one else has to go through what she went through as a child.

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Parselmouth
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it): Thorn was especially proud of her Parselmouth heritage, as it had been a part of her family for generations. She felt that that it was her duty to carry on the tradition, despite how it was often seen in a negative light. It wasn't easy, as the stigma around Parselmouths seemed to never let up, but Thorn was determined to make her mark. When she learned more about her mother's background and the dark arts associated with her family, she found a newfound strength and purpose. Her mother had been the daughter of one of the most feared wizards of their time and she wanted to learn more about the secrets and mysteries that came along with that. She was determined to use her Parselmouth abilities to dig deep into the past, uncovering long forgotten secrets and learning from them in the process. Through this journey of discovery and exploration, Thorn hoped to bring some legitimacy to the art of Parselmouth, even though it was often seen as something sinister. In doing so, she wanted to honor her family legacy and show others just how powerful and magnificent this ability could be. Thorn was proud of her family's legacy and felt honored to carry it on within her own lineage. As a Parselmouth, she had the ability to speak the language of snakes - a talent that was associated with dark magic. Despite this, she didn't feel uncomfortable about the power she possessed; her mother was the daughter of one of the most feared wizards in history and she believed it was her duty to uphold her family's traditions.The more Thorn explored her talent, the more she learned about its capabilities and how to control it. She taught herself how to approach snakes without fear and started to understand their thoughts and feelings. She began using the skill for good, rescuing frightened creatures from danger and helping to reunite lost souls. Being a Parselmouth was no longer something Thorn felt ashamed of but something she could use to make a difference in her world. It had given her strength, courage and determination, proving that what some people may have considered dark magic could actually be used for noble causes. Now, Thorn knew that the power of being a Parselmouth was an invaluable gift that she was proud to pass on to her descendants. Thorn expected to develop Parseltongue, like her ancestors before her. Although Parseltongue was often associated with the dark arts, Thorn didn't fear it. Her mother, being the daughter of one of the most feared wizards, had instilled in her a sense of pride for their family legacy. To Thorn, developing Parseltongue was an honour and a privilege - she would be able to continue the ancient trait in her family, for generations to come.Thorn knew that she would have to be careful with her new found power. She had heard tales of how some used Parseltongue with malicious intent; however she was determined to use it for good and refused to let the stories about its association with the dark arts stop her from embracing her heritage. Even so, Thorn was still cautious and kept her Parseltongue abilities to herself, only speaking it when necessary or amongst trusted family members. In some strange way, developing Parseltongue was a source of comfort for Thorn. It made her feel even closer to her mother and helped her understand her family's history in a deeper way. It also made Thorn proud - proud of where she came from and proud that she could

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Binding Mark
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it): Thorn used watch her mother make binding marks on her allies. When Thorn was about four she began to teach Thorn. After her mother passed away Thorn reached out to books to help her learn the rest.Thorn had the ability to make a binding mark, and the possibilities were endless. Her telepathic communication made it possible for people to form a deep connection with each other. She could use her powers to create an unbreakable bond between two people, just as she could use it to help someone in need.It was amazing how powerful Thorn's mark was; it had the power to heal broken relationships, and even erase pain. People who had been separated by distance or misunderstanding could suddenly find themselves reunited, thanks to this binding mark. It was almost like magic, and Thorn was the one who held the secret to unlocking its mysteries.She felt a deep sense of purpose in being able to help others with her abilities. It wasn't just about connecting people— it was about creating something powerful and lasting. With just a single touch, Thorn could create a connection that would last forever and bring people closer together than ever before.The more she used her power, the more she understood its potential. This telepathic communication was far more than mere words; it was an energy that could travel through time and space to unite two souls in an eternal bond. It was beautiful and mysterious, and it definitely made Thorn feel special knowing that she had the ability to bring her self closer with others. At first, Thorn was hesitant to use this power, as she wasn’t sure of its consequences. But she soon realized that it could be used for good, allowing people to communicate on a deeper level than ever before. This was especially beneficial for those who were unable to speak or express themselves easily in words. The binding mark was more than just a way for people to connect – it also had the ability to heal broken relationships and create strong bonds between people. By making telepathic communication possible, Thorn was able to bridge the gap between friends and family members who had grown distant over time. She may have been just one person, but Thorn’s ability to make a binding mark changed the lives of many. Through her power, she was able to bring people closer together and help them understand each other better. As long as her power remained, there would never be any need for anyone to feel disconnected or alone. Thorn never expected the binding mark to become such an important part of her life. Little did she know that this simple act of marking someone would have such a profound effect on her life. Even though it was initially a mystery as to why and how she was able to make this unique mark, over time Thorn began to realize the true power behind it.The binding mark had a profound impact on those who received it. Additionally, they were more likely to experience increased levels of creativity, joy, and purpose in their everyday lives.

You have described what the ability does and how Thorn feels about it, but that is not what we look for.
Please include how Thorn got the ability. Binding Mark is not a talent someone is born with, but it is magic that can be learned.

STATUS: Pending, Opeila 09/01
Binding Mark is no superpower.
Those are the effects:
- They can communicate telepathically with those who are branded. (This can be blocked as an Occlumens. An Occlumens can choose to not hear the communication.)
- Those branded will know the location of the wizard that branded them at all times. (This can be blocked as an Occlumens. An Occlumens can elect to have their location not detected and they would know when someone has attempted to locate them.)
- The wizard that branded their followers with this mark will always know where their followers are at a given time. (This can be blocked as an Occlumens. An Occlumens can elect to have their location not detected and they would know when someone has attempted to locate them.)
- Those branded will not know the location of the others that were branded but can recognize the brand on others if they see it as the brand is unique. This is achieved because they know what the image looks like and they can communicate with and have been in communication with the others that are marked. While a metamorphmagi can make a passable image of the mark if they are aware of the mark, the mark would not be functional.)

Not more, she doesn't become all mighty through it. Please give some more information on how Thorn got experience as well- remember that this is nothing she could have cast before her first year.
We also don't allow NPCs (In this case Thorn's mother) to give binding marks.

Closed as it has been over a month. Owl sent to notify. They will need to post a new app when ready.

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: part-goblin
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it): My great-grandfather was a goblin and he married my great-grandmother. They had three children, one of them is my grandmother, who is half-goblin. My grandmother fell in love with my grandfather, and they had two children, including my father, who is a quarter-goblin. Then, my father got married with my mother, and they gave birth to me, who is one-eighth goblin. Because I am so less-related with my great-grand father, my appearance are similar with human, but I am still a bit shorter, with about 125 cm. My mother and grandfather are people with super pale skin, so my skin tone didn't change much. My head is a bit rounder but it's difficult to see. My fingers are long indeed. I love mushrooms and tomatoes, I like their urami flavour.
At a young age, I was sometimes laughed by other students, for being short than them. They also laugh at my pointed ears. But I like them, they look like the elves' ears in the books my father bought me(it seems to be authored by him to let me feel better).
But, I am definitely better at earning some more money. We had a game which we seperate into two groups and sell our own things. The group who earns the more money wins. Despite the other group had nearly twice as many as our objects, I lead the group into selling every bit of thing in a quite expensive price. In the end, we won the game!
Since I was five, my father used to give me five galleons per month to use. I buy in things and sell them out, I lend them to my neighbors and I buy some wizard stocks. I also buy some things I want but I always buy the ones cheapest and with the best quality. I can end up owning hundreds of galleons every year.
My parents tried to hide my identity to me, but I began thinking of my unique height and other body parts at a young age. I used to sit beside my mother and asking countless times--'Am I really a complete human?' At first, my mother patted my back and said,'Of course, my dear, you are definitely complete human!' Then, she started to get annoyed and forbid me from asking these questions. This simply got me more curious. Finally, one day, my mother told me quietly that I am part-goblin. Finally, I got an explanation of all these strange traits on me!
When my fellow friends learn that I am part-goblin, they no longer laugh at me, instead, they think I am so cool, to have a goblin great-grandfather.
One day, I was chatting with them but suddenly, they stared at me. 'What are you saying?' They ask. But I just think I am talking normally. I ran home and asked my mother about it, and she said I was accidentally saying Gobbledegook! Since then, I start to keep track of the words and say and now I am super familiar with this language!(505 words)
