Humans with natural born abilities are rare, and typically have a supernatural ancestor somewhere up the family tree. In most cases the ancestor was a witch, demi, or one of the fae.

On the other hand sometime a human can be given a ability as a gift/curse from a god, or other supernatural.

A Human with an ability is called an ESPer, or gifted.

Mediumship - Communicating with spirits/ghosts/dead. Some humans if brought back to life through CPR/Defibrillator can gain this ability. Some are born with it, but its seen as more of a curse then a gift. The people you see on TV boasting and showing of there "powers" are just con artist. Spirits/ghosts only stay in our world if they have unfinished business, don't know their dead, were violently killed, or have strong lingering emotions/attachments to someone or an object. their is no friendly casper, and being able to see and talk to spirits is not very fun.

Aura reading - Can see energy fields surrounding people, places and things. The meaning of the aura varies from ESPer to ESPer. Some see the Aura of emotions, others see health, or some see relationships.

Lie Detection - To detect when another is lying; only catches untruths not lies of omission. Most humans with this ability have no idea they have it. The can tell when someones lying, but they get this through a feeling. Like clairvoyance, its a kind of perception.

Telepathy - To read another humans thoughts, or to transfer thoughts/emotions into another's mind. Its very very rare to be truly gifted with this ability.

Pyrokinesis - Manipulation of fire. or creation of fire with ones mind. This gift only present itself to someone in extreme distress or madness. (think of the movie 'Carrie'). More questions on this PM me.

Telekinesis - The ability to move solid objects with their mind. This ability takes quite a bit of practice to master. Heavy lifting is almost impossible, and one must train their mind like a muscle.

Magic Sight - Ability to see the supernatural, and they can see past glamours, and invisibility magic. Runs in families, and is a genetic ability. A lot of the time is skips every other generation. Many people with this ability can find through their lineage a connection with the one of the ancient hunter families.
---The ancient hunter families: Deveraux, Huo, Korikov, Wellesley, and Jager. (more info on Hunters in separate Tab.)

Precognition - Premonition and precognitive dreams. Perception of events before they happen. Many people have a very tiny bit of this. Have you every had a strong since of deja vu? That would be it. But to be a true Precognition ESPer, your abilities are a lot more then that. In history many people with this ability were known as Oracles. Seeing future happenings through dreams, a lot of the time its just unimportant thing. Some even have the ability to see the past by touching objects/people.

-- Many ESPer's can learn/dabble in alchemy and basic witch magic.

For centuries hunters have placed it upon themselves to police and hunt the supernatural population and to protect normal humans from the unknown threat around them.

Hunters train in hand-to-hand combat, firearms, shotguns, crossbows, melee weapons, tracking, tactics, and other things such as lock picking, computer hacking, and car jacking. Hunters typically pass their knowledge onto their children. Knowledge of the supernatural and mythology are also vital to their training.

They are naturally athletic, observant, and possessors of uncanny instinct for people and their personalities. Hunters have the ability of 'Magic sight', making them able to see supernaturals, past glamours, and invisibility magic. They also have a kind of "sixth sense" that alerts them to the presence of supernaturals.

Hunters have adrenaline induced powers of slightly superhuman strength, durability, agility, reflex, speed. Their natural aptitude for fighting, and keen instincts keep them alive when up against powerful strong supernaturals.

At the age of 13 a witch chooses a specialization to focus on. Its advised to choose one you show natural affinity with. Many witches are well rounded in their magics, but some show more talented in one particular area.

Sanabit - Able to heal injuries, and wounds. This is done by assuming the injury into their own body and then healing themselves. They can also take a injury/pain and give it to another person. Knowledge of anatomy, and the systems of the body are necessary. Through skin to skin contact a Sanabit can find exactly what Ills someone. Can't cure disease or illness, but they can repair the internal damage the disease causes.

When using their powers, their hands will glow, or during more intense use, their entire body will glow. They can generate a translucent force-field out of energy. The force-field, like an actual solid, can be used as a protective barrier/shield from all magic.

Fairy Blood is like a drug to supernaturals. Drinking just a drop or two causes euphoria, hallucination, and hyperactivity. Taste like honey.

They are considered minor nature deity, and are typically bounded with a particular location or landform, such as a forest or lake. They are immortal as their life is solely based on their environment.
-- A Nymph living in forest (among abundant nature) will live endlessly, right along side it. A Nymph living in a concrete jungle will age and die at the same rate a human might, albeit a little slower.

They are completely attuned to nature, and if the land they are bound to is sick, then they thus become sick.

They can go to and from the underworld to the land of the living whenever they please. They live by feeding of the essence of dead souls. When finished feeding they help guide the soul to the underworld.

Weevil's are bound via an old witches spell. This spell works to summon and trap a Weevil. They cannot get free from the spelltrap until the person who summoned them is granted three wishes. However, Weevils are cunning tricksters, they often twist the wishes around so they turn out poorly. It is a very rare spell though, and not many people can get their hands on it, as many Weevil's have done what they can to find the written versions of the spell and destroy them.

AKA Cervi or Cree

They look like any other human, and have the same lifespan too.

Cervian people have a physical manifestation of a their soul, called a Syxtar. A Cervian and their Syxtar are one being, the death of one results in that of the other. It is physically and emotionally painful for them to separate too far from each other. Death usually follows such separation due to the severe trauma.

During the childhood of a Cervian, their Syxtar can shapeshift into any kind of animal. These childhood changes are due to emotion, need for a protection, or simply the Syxtar's whim. When a Cervian reaches puberty, their Syxtar settles into a permanent animal form. This form represented the personality of the Cervian.

Touching someones Syxtar is taboo.

Cervian people have the abilities of night vision, and Pain Immunity.

AKA Genies, Dust Devils, Jinns, or Wishmasters

Djinn are like human beings, they are both free-willed and can also be good, evil, or neutral.

Djinn's occupy a small parallel realm to that of mankind. A place they call 'Borkas'.
They are extremely magical beings able to grant wishes.

Guardian Djinn's are like priestess/priest, and they are guardians of the fountain of youth, the well of wonders, and magic mirrors. (Messing with guardian Djinn is a very bad idea, they will curse you to become a Sealed Djinn)

They typically take things very literally.

There are only 6 unbreakable djinn laws/rules. Braking these rules causes a Djinn to become Sealed.
1. You Cannot kill another Djinn
2. You cannot grant more then three official wishes a person.
3. You Cannot make people fall in love, or take away their free will.
4. You cannot grant a wish of raising the dead.
5. You cannot use your wish granting magic for yourself (this one has quite a bit of loop holes)
6. You cannot grant a wish to make someone die.

Djinn's should never ever drink Alcohol. It causes their magic to go wacky. They become rather wild, as their personally becomes unmanageable, and chaotic. There emotions are intensified a 100% and self control flies out the window. Crazy, until the alcohol wears off. A manic Djinn is not something you want to witness. Pompeii was caused by a drunk Djinn, and so was the Helike Tsunami and Earthquake.

Djinn's can bare children with any humanoid species/creature. You can only be born a Djinn if your mother is one. So if a Djinn woman and a witch man have a child, that child would be a Djinn, the same species as the mother. If a Djinn man and a Fairy woman have a child, the child would be a fairy.

Djinn's are extremely knowledgeable about all the different magics in the world.

They are made of smoke, but typically like to stay in their solid human looking form.

Djinn's age slower them humans. Five years in a human lifespan is equal to one Djinn year. Djinns are mortal. There first five years of life are accelerated as the grow up just as fast as a human, but once they reach five years old there aging slows. So an eleven year old Djinn is the equivalent of a seven year old human. A thirty-five year old Djinn is a equivalent to a twelve year old human. ---PM me if you need help with the ageing.

POWERS - They can fly/float, turn invisible, grant wishes, teleport, change their size, control smoke, eidetic memory, shape shift, and can speak/read/write all languages.
----------------------------------------
Bound, Unbound, Free, Cursed, and Sealed

Bound - Djinn's become bound to a receptacle (usually a genie lamp/bottle), when a Dijinn's powers fully manifest, between the ages of 20-35 years old. The receptacle becomes a personal portal between 'Borkas' and all other realms. Though the receptacle cannot reside in 'Borkas', so they are hidden/kept in a different parts of our world.

Free - A free Djinn is one that has yet to become bound and gain their full power. These are the young Djinn.

Sealed - Guardian Djinn's can curse any humanoid species to become a sealed Djinn. For regular Bound Djinn If their receptacle is found and rubbed by a human, the receptacle becomes a prison of sorts to the Djinn, which they cannot leave without the certain events happening (rubbing the lamp, command from their master, etc). They are sealed, the portal ability does not work any longer, and the Dijinn becomes a servant/slave to the person who obtains the receptacle. The Dijinn stops ageing, and gains semi-immortality when sealed. They grant there master three wishes and they are stuck in the receptacle until another new master comes along, and this goes on and on for centuries. If a Djinn brakes one of the Djinn laws, they automatically become sealed. There are only three ways out of being sealed.
1 - The master wishes you free - Doing this turns the Djinn back to bound.
2 - The Master wishes to be a Genie - The master takes the place of the Djinn. The Djinn becomes Unbound. The Master becomes a sealed Djinn.
3 - The receptacle is destroyed. - To destroy a receptacle is almost impossible. The Djinn becomes Unbound.

Cursed - Are not originally of the Djinn species. They have been cursed by Guardian Djinn. Turning them into a Sealed Djinn. If one of the three ways out of being sealed happens they return to whatever they once were (Human, werewolf, Fae, witch, etc.) and are transported back to wherever they came from.

Unbound - Djinn's that have become unbound from their receptacle loose a great amount of their power, and become mortal again.
