Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice
Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control?

The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make?

Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go?

Seventh Year & Gryffindor Chaser. I love Dave. I AM THE SWAN QUEEEEEEEEN!

Hey everyone!

The staff and I decided that it was time to update this thread, so here we go! There are some minor changes in the rules but we want to make this available for members to take part in.

All characters are able to select from a range of special abilities for their characters to possess, either from birth, or from a plot element which introduces it. Oftentimes, your character will not be perfect at the abilities straight away, as they make take years to develop these abilities, so please be sure to use discretion in your role playing to avoid becoming a Mary Sue. Also, be sure to take into account that most abilities come with weaknesses as well (for example, Parseltongue scares people and can isolate the person using it).

The following is a list of the available special abilities. Feel free to suggest more to add to it:

Available Special Abilities List

Hereditary/Genetic/Random Birth Defect

In order to acquire a special ability for one of your characters, you must:

- Follow the rules and set a good example.
- Be active, and remain active. Inactive characters will lose their abilities.
- Use the power with discretion. This is not Pokemon, XMen, or Dragonball Z.
- Justify your ability. If you are applying for an ability, you will be required to justify it heavily with plot reasons, including what you plan to do with it. Special abilities will not be given out lightly, and we reserve the right to reverse our decision to grant abilities at any time (even after they've been granted).

This is the template for applying for a special ability. Please copy it, fill it out, and post in this thread to be considered. You will receive your approval or denial via PM. If required, an administrator will PM you to ask for further details or clarification.

Special Ability Application
 
Name:
Requested Ability:
Ability Specifics: Detail your ability here, including the uses you would like to have it for. Also, detail the progression of the ability if it is learned, as you would role play it (example, Fire Elementium: Ability to heat things through touch, ability to manipulate small flames, ability to heat things at a distance, ability to manipulate larger flames, ability to generate large flames and manipulate them).
Plot Reasons: Explain, in great detail, the plot reasons for this ability, and how you plan to use it in character. How does it fit with their character? How was/is it to be developed? What are its limits?
Reasons You Should Be Granted This Ability: Justify YOU having this ability, besides plot reasons. Think OOC. Have you baked cookies for Dave? Are you super active? Justify why YOU as a member of HIRP deserve it.

Updated the master list. If you guys can, please copy and paste your special ability app (all the stuff you wrote) into your character sheers. Put it into [ spoiler ] tags if you don't want it to take up too much space. That way we can keep this thread clean.
