Nirlak Valhulkrik.Ah, yes. Dreadfully sorry about that.
Werewolf
Currently magical although we make occasional excursions to the muggleland to mess with a few peoples.
It is 2087.
Should we do appearance?
Also do we need to follow the conventional harry potter werewolfyness or can we use the more fun types of werewolfyness? (I have several fun character design ideas for the more fun types.)The only restriction I'll have is that there has to always be one transformation on the night of a full moon.
Define transformation~ Cause I can think of several that do pseudo shifts whenever~A Forced Change of Psyche, Body, Mind, and/or Instinct That Usually Pertains to Overpowered Versions of Various Different Animals. It Really Depends On Your Meaning of "Pseudo Shifts".
Pseudo shift usually results in one or more parts of the body to become animalistic but not the entire body. A full shift would be full blown wolf for example, a pseudo shift could be just ears or just tail, or just claws, or just the muscular structure, or just fur (great for if it's cold) or rearrange the bone structure to make four legged running easier and faster.Pseudo shifts would, indeed, be possible. However, werecreatures would not be able to take advantage of this unless they were to have animagus training. Because you are trying to connect with an inner animal that is not naturally a part of you, your own natural inner animal gets, in a fashion, jealous. Because the werecreature in question has not attempted to get into contact with their natural inner animal and is instead trying to seek out a foreigner, the natural animal gets catty and proceeds to fight it out with the wereanimal in order to get attention thus causing the werecreature much spiritual/mental pain and suffering. Coincidentally, this is also the reason why werecreatures have moon sickness.
Also any required mind/instincty thing? I personally am thinking have the normal mindset be rather direct and cold but the shifted mindset be effectively a puppy on a sugarhigh. Be rather amusing.
Sooo basically that would result in psychological bleh?More like magical bullshit bleh, but yes.
*will write it up in a bit*I was merely answering your question.
Shoouldn't we get other people's input for the character alsos thoughs?
His hair and fur shall be hot pink, that is all.Yes.
I don't think we should play a werewolf, but this is a good argument in its favor.His hair and fur shall be hot pink, that is all.Yes.
Well yes, the potion system is solid. However it lacks a trait that I at least consider necessary for an effective magic system: besides potions which presumably draw energy from the latent magic in the ingredients there does not appear to be much skill or any energy required to cast spells.
EDIT: An interesting explanation for this my sister shared with me a while ago was a simple lack of curiosity. We don't know because they don't know. Her evidence for this was the potion riddle, it was not too difficult for anyone with good lateral thinking which wizards mostly lack do to the presence of magic making them able to literally say "a wizard did it" or "magic" and satisfy the common wizard. This likely was untrue for early wizards but after that they were just better at surviving than muggles and as such required much less curiosity from very early stages of cultural development.
Everything with a brain has glands. Sure there's that one species of magic worm but I think the just do the same thing as plants, gaining energy from unicorn shit.Unicorn shit has neither glands nor a brain. I am fairly certain no shit has that.
I like definable magic. The magic system in Mistborn for example is a very very very good magic system.FTFY
Longterm character goal~ Define -then abuse knowledge of- Magic~

Hmm. Can we get "Year 49XX"?If you had an idea to go along with it, then... yes. Be pretty funny to see the machines rebel and the only safe place is the Magical World which kills all electronics. :P
the year is 49XX, the machines have taken over, and lost to humanity, subsequently, civilization begins to rebuild itself, and the magical community does as well. With energy cores providing a seemingly endless source of energy, their mysterious origins are explored by new world scientists, but there is a missing element, One that they simply cannot comprehend. The World of magic assembles itself once more in secret, starting with teaching young wizards and witches the ancient arts, lost to the ages. With some people taking up mechanical bodies with organic brains, and other such mechanical augmentations, magic itself has altered itself to accommodate, in a world where gasoline is a precious substance, Energy by way of rare mysterious cores is limitless, Strange machines lie dormant wielding the most powerful cores, and magic as if by magic has remained secret, our hero awakes another day, receiving a letter that claims there exists a school of magic, maybe, just maybe, It just might...
Sounds like a good enough premise?

This sounds really interesting. :)
I never got that part either. Radios seem to function better in conjunction with magic.Hmm. Can we get "Year 49XX"?If you had an idea to go along with it, then... yes. Be pretty funny to see the machines rebel and the only safe place is the Magical World which kills all electronics. :P
Also, inb4 Kevak designs yet another Trap character or one of a similar vein.
I actually suggested a not trap character~ Twas Shade's idea~
