Acceptable More-Than Average AttributesAnd the requirements of them.We want Deliciae to be unique. So, we are allowing that certain people get certain abilities. This is an entirely first come, first serve basis. Please understand that all of these require that you must be in your third year of being an owner (if a Tabernae Shop Owner) or be in your third year or higher (if a student) or in your third year of teaching (if a professor) unless stated otherwise. Those who have requested to become a More-Than-Average character and have not become one fully will have (P) by their MTA attribute. In order to have an MTA attribute, you must: 1) Request the MTA attribute in your character's profile 2) Fill out this form. A PM will be sent from a crew member about whether your request was accepted or denied. It is your responsibility to ensure that the list is accurate and up-to-date when it concerns your character(s). Here is the list of current MTA characters. (Ctrl + F to find a name)

Descriptions and Requirements of MTAs
Animagus An Animagus (pl. Animagi) is a witch or wizard who can morph him or herself into a specific animal at will. It is a learned, rather than hereditary, skill, unlike those of a Metamorphmagus.1) Must learn their ability
2) Cannot attack students
3) Must not transform during class time
4) May only transform outside
5) Must be a third year student at Hogwarts/any other school or older/third year of teaching to begin practicing
6) Must become registered by the Ministry of Magic.
7) Must say in their profile that you are learning to be an AnimagusHalf Breed Half-breed (or Beast) is a term given to humans with at least one non-human parent, although those with more distant non-human ancestry are also referred to as half-breed. This can be many different breeds and can have lots of different side effects due to magic in the mixing bloodlines. "Half-breed" may be an offensive, rather than proper, term, as it seems to appear as an insult. There is a great deal of prejudice against half-breeds in the wizarding world, which also tends to discriminate against non-human beings in general. 1) Can be many different creatures. Some examples are Giants, Vampires, Veelas, Goblins, and Trolls.
2) Creatures that are turned such as werewolves do not pass the trait to their child, therefore can not be born as such.
3) Half-breeds share the attributes of both their parents, still being able to use magic, as the magic gene is dominant, while having traits of their non-human parent as well.
4) It is also unknown for how many generations non-human traits will persist, although it seems that wizards and witches with even one non-human great-grandparent will retain some of those characteristics. For example, Filius Flitwick is only one-eighth goblin, but retains a small stature as a result of this heritage.
5) It is unknown if Muggles can interbreed with non-humans and, if they can, this would probably result in non-magical half-breeds. Though it is very rare for a Muggle to even find out about the existence of those creatures, the existence of a non-magical half-breed is potentially possible but unlikely. Legilimens Legilimency is the act of magically navigating through the many layers of a person's mind and correctly interpreting one's findings. A person who practises this art is known as a Legilimens. Laymen sometimes refer to Legilimency as "mind-reading," but practitioners disdain this term as naive.1) Must learn their ability
2) Cannot be used to cheat on tests
3) Can only enter the mind of another with permission (PMs, OOC, or chat)
4) Can scan an area and look for the minds of others (as long as there is no mind entering, PMs and such are not necessary)
5) Must become registered by the Ministry of Magic
6) Must put in a request to the Headmistress
7) Must be a third year at a higher school to begin practicing (if accepted)
8 ) Dean can deny anyone she/he chooses
