Gypsies
The Gypsy class in the Noct social system is highly respected for their help with doing things that were not originally available to the Noct. Some of the advances that are thanks to the Gypsy are: same sex couples being able to reproduce without a surrogate, a litter size being increased from what is normally considered possible, and helping transgendered Nocts become their desired sex with fully functioning sexual organs.
Born Gypsies normally are gifted with one special talent from the time they arrive to the world. This talent normally has its limits as well as its downsides. (One Gypsy, Sacred, has premonitions but cannot dream.) Their gifts are commonly referred to as magic.
Learned Gypsies occasionally have powers from birth, but other times they either develop them or are learned. Berit, for example, is learning to help heal others and use poultices and other combined herbs to help save lives from Akita as well as a knowledgeable nurse named Nekoya.
NOTE: There are certain abilities that Julian will not allow any Gypsy to have. These restrictions are often associated with the laws of witchcraft and what is allowed and isn't. Potions can only persuade emotions, they cannot control them. The dead can be manipulated, but they can never be brought back to life. Alchemy can change one item to another, but personal gain will cause this gift to be nullified. If you wish to do an ability that isn't listed, simply PM Julian asking if your gift for your Gypsy is allowed. It will be added to the list.
