Animagus:
It takes skill, practice, and patience for wizards and witches to become Animagi. The process of becoming an Animagus is long and arduous, and has the potential to backfire and cause the transformation to go horribly wrong. Many witches and wizards simply feel that their time might better be employed in other ways, as the skill is of limited practical use unless one has a great need of disguise or concealment. Part of the process by which one becomes an Animagus is holding the leaf of a mandrake in their mouth for an entire month. Once the initial training is over, an Animagus can change at will, with or without a wand.

Animagi can only take on the form of one specific animal. This animal form is not chosen by the wizard, but determined by their personality and inner traits. It may also be that the full-bodied Patronus may reveal what a witch or wizard would turn into if they were an Animagus. For example, Minerva McGonagall, a known cat Animagus, also had the Patronus of a cat. Apparently, the form the Patronus takes may be determined by the same inner-traits as the Animagus form. An Animagus in animal form is also not restrained by the lifespan limit of the creature that they otherwise transform into, seen in the case of Peter Pettigrew, who stayed in the form of a rat for at least twelve years, remaining alive despite the fact that rodents have a short lifespan.

Each Animagus bears an identifying mark on their animal form that is caused by something on their human body. This may be a physical trait like dental structure, or an acquired trait such as glasses. For example, both Minerva McGonagall and Rita Skeeter have markings on their Animagus forms caused by their spectacles, and Peter Pettigrew had a bald spot on his Animagus form from his balding head. If an Animagus undergoes a major physical change, such as the loss of a limb, their animal form will also reflect that, as in the case of Peter Pettigrew missing a finger.

In addition, an Animagus will appear to lose their clothing upon morphing if they are wearing clothing. The clothing will reappear upon re-establishing the human form. What physically happens to the clothing is unknown. A strong possibility, however, is that the clothing is enchanted beforehand, and will morph/disappear with the person as they do so. An example is when Peter Pettigrew morphs into a rat whilst Sirius Black and Severus Snape are occupied detaining the werewolf Remus Lupin. Another explanation would be if the clothes themselves are physically involved in the morphing, i.e. transforming into the skin and fur of the animal form.

Metamorphmagus

Unlike Animagi, Metamorphmagi can take a wide variety of forms, changing sex and age, potentially looking like anyone at all, or even just changing a part of their appearances, such as the shape of their noses. Animagi also transform at will, but only into one animal form which is determined by their inner traits. It is never revealed if Metamorphmagi can take the full form of an animal, and Tonks simply describes the ability as being able to change her "appearance".

Also, a Metamorphmagus is born, not made; it is not a skill that can be learned. There also seems to be a degree of heritability, as both Nymphadora Tonks and her son, Teddy Lupin, were Metamorphmagi, although both of Tonks' parents, Andromeda and Ted, were not. The ability presents very early in life, as Teddy Lupin's hair changed colour when he was a newborn infant, as did his mother's.

Parselmouth
Parseltongue is the language of serpents (as well as other magical serpent-based creatures, like the Runespoor) and those who can converse with them. An individual who can speak Parseltongue is known as a Parselmouth. It is a very uncommon skill, and is typically hereditary. Nearly all known Parselmouths are descended from Salazar Slytherin.

Parseltongue is, when spoken, a hissing sound, similar to that of a snake; as such, normal people cannot understand it (one known exception being Dumbledore). Aside from serpent-based creatures, Parselmouths can communicate with each other with the language, as Harry understood Tom Riddle's commands to the Serpent of Slytherin, and the House of Gaunt communicate with each other almost exclusively in Parseltongue. While inherited, Parseltongue usually requires the speaker to face a snake-based creature or object shaped like a snake (e.g. a carving); more proficient speakers may be able to speak it at will, as the Gaunt family was very proficient in the language - enough so for Morfin to speak to Bob Ogden with it, while Voldemort could speak to the Statue of Slytherin to release the basilisk.

If you wish for your character to have one of the above abilities please apply as there are limited places due to the abilities being rare.

Roleplay Sample:

Name: Demon Dragon
Character Name: Adrian Magus the Third
Characters History:
*born to a full-blood wizard and a half-blood.
*originally thought to have no magic until the day he accidentally burned the house down.
*upon joining realized he could not only understand the various animals but could actually partially morph his appearance, giving himself various feathers, scales, claws, etc. this ended up causing him all sorts of problems. he was mercilessly bullied for the first month of his time there until he met Marcus.
*after meeting Marcus became more sarcastic and started fighting back more.
*once surprised a dragon when he asked how its day was.
Roleplay Sample:
"you realize there is a giant spider right behind you right?" Adrian asked his friend in a oddly calm voice. Marcus turned around, saw the spider, then calmly looked at his friend.
"i think its time to run."
"Agreed." then, as one, turned around and started running and screaming like a couple of idiots. the spider, apparently, liked fast food and gave chase.
"its still chasing us!" Adrian shouted.
"I know!" Marcus shouted back, somewhat annoyed his friend had to state the obvious.

((that enough or should i add more?))

Umm which one are you applying for?

actually if you read the history you can figure it out, i was applying for him to be a Metamorphmagus.

Umm metamorphmagus is only human appearance not animal...

well i was hoping he'd end up being a freaky case....won't work?

sorry, but not to sound rude and but in, but some metamorphmagi can actually make parts of their bodies take on the traits of different animals, much like Tonks when she was able to change her nose and mouth to that of a pig snout and duck bill. It is small and subtle changes which cannot occur all over their body as it only affects appearance and not skeletal structure into another animal entirely.

sorry if I am speaking out of turn...Just wanted to help you all out.

hey Tonks did do that, i forgot completely! although i was still hoping he could be a strange case.
