Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

MAGICAL ABILITIES CLAIM

Due to the fact that we do not want to
see thousands of invincible characters
running about,
claiming magical abilities has been made
mandatory
in order for any one character to have a magical ability.

There are three levels to every character ability.
All members applying must provide a satisfactory
history
in their application to explain how an
ability was inherited or obtained, subject to
the discretion of an admin. The different levels
determine how much and how often your
character gets to flaunt an approved magical
ability. The Beginner level is typically a NEWT
student or character who is fairly new to an
ability. Age is not the only determinant
of ability. The Intermediate level groups those
who have learnt a decent level of control
over, and gained a certain amount of experience
in, their ability. Finally, the Advanced level is for the
few who are skilled in an ability, by both talent and
experience. However, the few who have special permission
in the Advanced level must not abuse their power. We
will not hesitate to withdraw any approved ability, should it
be brought to light that it has been abused during RP.

  • Students are allowed up to three abilities.
  • Graduates in Tier 5 to Tier 3 characters will be permitted up to three abilities.
  • Tier 2 characters will be permitted up to four abilities.
  • Tier 1 characters will be allowed up to five abilities, thus beings allowed the most.


THE LEARNED ABILITIES
These abilities do not require a detailed history, whereas, the rest do.

    Nonverbal Magic – Nonverbal Magic is taught in Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts class to students who have reached their seventh year.

    Occlumency– The ability to prevent someone from reading your mind and controlling your thoughts. Lack of compassion makes for a better Occlumens – Draco and Snape are examples of this. Occlumency can be learned at once a student has reached their sixth year- or higher. Only those appointed by the Headmaster will be taught this skill.

    Apparation – Apparation is the ability to move from one place to another in seconds; JKR’s version of teleportation. Apparation is taught in a student's sixth year at Hogwarts. All sixth years and above are permitted to attend lessons in order to add this ability to their list. Remember that you cannot apparate on Hogwarts grounds, so do not attempt to do so or this right will be revoked.


NOTE: PA will presume that Graduates have learned a certain amount of nonverbal magic and apparation skills, up to the level of their assigned tier. If you are a Graduate you will no longer have to apply for those two abilities.

THE COMPLEX ABILITIES
These too are learned abilities, however, they are far more complex than the ones above- hence the title- and shall require a reasonable application. There is always a possibility of having your appeal rejected when applying for abilities within this category.

    Leglimency – The act of invading somebody’s mind in order to control him/her or read their thoughts. It is considered a dark act and Not something that is often performed by "good" wizards. It is a difficult art as well, and those who have attended advanced lessons at Hogwarts are able to do this. Both NEWT students and graduates are permitted to apply for this ability.

    Wandless Magic – Some wizards have mastered the art of magic and have made it possible to cast spells without the use of their wands. Of course, magic is much harder to use and is much weaker in power without a wand in hand, but this is a useful ability if one were ever to find themselves without a wand while in a sticky situation. This is considered a very difficult ability to learn and shall only be handed out to graduates. Note: this is an ability that we rarely hand out.

    Healing – The ability to heal injuries without the use of a wand or healing potions. Please take into consideration the fact that no one can bring the dead to life once more or heal fatal injuries- fatal injuries such as injuries received from a Sectumsempra hex, for example. The healing process requires only a few moments. Only professional healers are ever granted this ability, and in order to be considered a professional healer, one must first complete healer training and obtain a job at a wizarding hospital.

    Invisibility – The ability to become completely invisible to the naked eye without the use of a wand. The effect lasts as long as its user requires it to last as long as he is in a condition to control it; no witch or wizard with the ability to become invisible may do so if they are on the brink of death, no matter the circumstances.

    Mind Control– A process in which a group or an individual puts to use methods of manipulative in order to persuade others to do as manipulator wishes. This ability is given to only advanced Death Eaters and in order to control another's mind, the character who is being manipulated must first approve. This confirmation between members may be done through PM, such as permission to GodMod.

    Memory manipulation – The ability to manipulate the memories of someone else, including the projection of lost memories for one to re-experience. This is often used for healing purposes and by Dark Wizards. Advanced Graduates are the only characters who are permitted to apply for this ability.

    Telepathy – The sharing of information, thoughts, and feelings between individuals by no other means than the five senses.

    Flying – Possibly the most difficult of abilities to learn, flying is the ability to fly without the use of a broomstick. This is also considered a difficult, or nearly impossible ability to learn. Flying for even one hour is very difficult and can harm your character severally. Only graduates are allowed to apply for this ability.

    Animagus – Some wizards are able to transform themselves into an animal after becoming an Animagus. Any wizard can do this, although it is quite difficult to learn and can be dangerous. All those with this ability must be registered through the Ministry of Magic or shall face severe punishment- IC, that is.


THE INHERITED ABILITIES:
All the following abilities were passed down through bloodlines, and, therefore, in order to apply for any of them, someone upon your family tree must have that ability.

    Parseltongue – The ability to speak to, and command snakes. This is considered a dark ability.

    Speaking to Animals – The ability to speak to creatures and to possibly befriend them. Some animals, however, are not the brightest and may quickly loose interest.

    Metamorphagus– The ability to change one's appearance at will.

    Telekenisis –Some wizards have the ability to move things without the use of contact or a wand, however, only the smallest of objects may be moved, and never for a long period of time may one particular object remain in the air.

    Seer – Seers are those who are able to see into the future and predict certain events. There are two types of seers, short term and long term. Short term seers can only predict things which will happen within a short period of time, and often only see what is to come with blurry eyes. Long term seers can see a more vivid image, but are unable to tell what time one particular event will occur, thus lacking a rather important piece of information. Long Term Seers are also limited to predicting major events that often don't involve themselves.

    Empathy – The ability to share another being's feelings and emotions. This ability can either be inherited or transferred from one wizard to another, however, if one is to transfer this ability to another, they then loose the ability to said person. No one can transfer this ability without the consent of its original owner.

    Astral Projection – The ability to willingly shed your body without breaking the connection between your soul and its fleshy prison; your soul is bound to your body in a way that allows you to quickly return to your natural form.

Name: Jake Collins
Age: nineteen
Tier: N/A, though I think it's supposed to be Tier 4...
Ability Desired: Metamorphagus + Telepathy
A Detailed History Behind Said Ability:

Metamorphagus:
This ability is one that everyone in Jake's mother's side of the family has. His mother, grandmother, and even his great grandmother had this ability. His mother had never really told him about this ability that her family had, but only because he had never really shown any signs of having the ability to change his form. Well, not until he was around the age of seven almost eight. That was the first time he had shown signs of having it; when he accidently changed his appearance to that of his "hero". It was a young boy only about a year or two older than him, that he was watching on TV. His mother had left him in the living room to attend to his sister and he had been so focused on the show that he was watching, that when his mother came back into the room she didn't see him, instead she saw that other boy. She had frantically looked for Jake when she saw the appearance of that boy and he had only looked at her in confusion. His focus had broken and he turned back to his original form. Seeing the change back his mother decided to tell him about the ability.

Telepathy:
Telepathy is an ability that had always interested Jake. He learned about it around his fourth or fifth year in Hogwarts and ur decided that it was an ability he would like to have. He gathered any and all the information he could on the ability and he even asked others that actually had it for help in how to learn it. Not until his sixth year did he know that he was ready to learn the ability. He wasn't sure if a student or a Professor was best suited to teach him telepathy. But he thought that a Professor would be best and he asked one to teach him. It was difficult for him to learn this ability at first but after weeks maybe even months he began to get it. He progessed slowly and little by little he learned the ability more and more until it was strong enough for him to use correctly. After almost a year of practicing he finally learned the ability completely.

Hmmm.
Well, I have a question about the Metamorphagus, and that is what you plan on using it for? I'm all for giving it to you if you have something specific in mind, but if you're just having it for personal plotting and the sake of it, I'm inclined to say no.

As for telepathy. I'm gonna leave it to someone else, as I'm personally not altogether comfortable with having it as a power on this site, I'd prefer someone go for Legilimens, as it's a form of "mind reading" by which there are clearly defined limitations.

Post by Matthew Lestrange Tue Feb 21, 2012 3:32 am

Name:Matthew Lestrange
Age:27
Tier:Three
Ability Desired:Memory Manipulation, Wandless Magic, & Selective Telepathy.
A Detailed History Behind Said Ability:

  • MEMORY MANIPULATION

    When Matt was getting help for his drug addiction. He came across an older wizard in a similar situation as him. So they bonded and the older wizard said he would be able to teach him a very strong and powerful technique that would help him throughout his life; Memory Manipulation. Matt had nothing else to do because he wasn't sure that he was ready to go back to his former life so he figured he'd let the man humour himself. But this older wizard knew what he was doing and Matt took to this naturally. He had always had an interest in the mind so this was fascinating to him. And after Matt had gotten good to the point where the man could no longer teach him any more (cliche I know, shut up.). He had to continue on and train himself-and that's where he is now.

  • WANDLESS MAGIC

    Bellatrix had been teaching him this on the side throughout his life. He isn't THAT good with it but he can do basic stuff and a few spells-not too many though.

  • Selective Telepathy
    I don't have high hopes for this one :/

    Matt has formed strong bonds with many people over the years. Magic is an interesting thing and sometimes things just come naturally to people. So Matt can telepathically communicate with some of his closest friends of many years (You know who you are).

Name: Atticus Bletchley
Age: recently turned eighteen
Tier: N/A at this time
Ability Desired: Beginner in Leglimency + Animagus
A Detailed History Behind Said Ability:

Beginner in Leglimency
Leglimency is an ability that has always interested Atticus. Even though it is considered a dark act, he funds it very intriguing. There's just something about reading other's minds that fascinates him. But he knows that he shouldn't do it unless it's an emergency and even then it isn't a good idea to use it. Atticus first found out about this ability when he was around his fourth or fifth year in Hogwarts. One of his older friends had been talking about how his father had the ability and as he had been explaining how the ability worked, Atticus found himself more and not intrigued with every word he heard about the ability. It was something he definitely wanted to havr. So he began to study any and everything he could about the ability until he was finally old enough to be able to actually learn the ability. This was around the end of his sixth year, it had taken him a very ling time to learn how to use this ability and even now he isn't to good at it. It's very hard for him to remain concentrated enough to be able to read other's thoughts fully. So he is still practicing how to use the ability properly.

Animagus
An ability his father and several others he knows have. Around the time he learned about the Leglimency ability, Atticus also learned about the ability some had to change into an animal, commonly known as an Animagus. He'd heard about this ability from his father a few years before but he had forgotten about it until he began some research on the Leglimency ability. He'd come upon a few books about the Animagus ability and he'd also decided to learn to use thus ability as well. Though he'd asked his father to teach him how to do this because he thought who best to have as a teacher than your own father? After all he also had that ability, and he knew he'd learn best If his father taught him. So since his fourth or fifth year, his father taught him about the ability until one day during the end of his sixth year, he was able to finally become an animagus. His animagus is a Snow White Wolf. He was so glad that he'd been able to succeed after a few years of painful training and wanting to give up a few times.

With Leglimency I suggest you find someone IC that already has that ability and have he/she tutor Atticus. Athena is proficient in the art so I can be of help to you there if you'd like. Animagus looks fine! (:

Name: Marcus "Mad" Dakota
Age: 19
Tier: 4
Ability Desired: Telepathy
A Detailed History Behind Said Ability: Marcus was always interested in a way that he could communicate with people without having to actually speak. He would rather communicate like that all of the time instead of using his "lip energy" to talk. Out of all of the situations that he's been in, this skill could really come in handy. If he talked at certain dangerous times, he would probably be killed.
